Abstract

FIELD: military equipment, applicable in production of devices for camouflage or covering of military equipment. SUBSTANCE: the camouflage device has a frame consisting of drive and driven structures made in the form of bows. A drive shaft for closing and opening of the device is positioned in the plane of the base of the structures, in the middle of the length of the camouflage device. The base of the drive structure is made in the form of a large bow with small bows hinge-mounted on it. The large bow is rigidly secured on the driven shaft. The drive structure represents a construction of bows, the lower one of which is fixed and positioned in the same plane with the large bow of the drive structure. The bows of the driven structure have a common axle located in the plane of the base of the structures. The structure bows are interconnected by folding cross pieces, which are hinge-joined to one another and to the bows. The camouflage material is fastened to the bows. EFFECT: reduced labor content and time of objective covering and uncovering. 1 dwg

Description

 The present invention relates to defense technology and can be used to create devices for camouflage or sheathing military equipment.

 A device for masking [1] is known, which is a set of flexible shields that, when assembled, form a camouflage coating. The shields are made rectangular and trapezoidal in shape, connected by an elastic filamentary support, each end of which has a device for attaching to a masked object. Shields are stored in a twisted state in separate containers located along the perimeter of the masked object.

 The disadvantage of this device is that the process of installing, removing and folding camouflage shields in containers is laborious and takes considerable time.

 It is also known a device for camouflaging military facilities [2], taken as a prototype, consisting of a frame connected to the object, which is made of several support consoles. A camouflage net or cover is pulled onto the frame. Consoles are interconnected by a plug or threaded connection.

 The disadvantage of this device is that the setting and removal of the consoles are time-consuming operations and require considerable time. In addition, for large objects of complex configuration, the operation of pulling and removing masking material is unsafe.

 The objective of the invention is to reduce the complexity and time to sheath and uncover objects, ensuring safety when performing these operations.

 To solve the problem in a device for camouflaging military installations, consisting of camouflage material stretched over a frame, the new thing is that the frame is made in the form of master and slave frames, which are a construction of arcs.

 The leading frame is made in the form of a large arc rigidly fixed to the drive shaft, and small arcs are pivotally mounted on it. The driven frame is made of arcs with a common axis of rotation located in the plane of the base of the frames. The drive shaft is located in the plane of the base of the frames, in the middle of the length of the camouflage device, and is designed to close and open the device. With this arrangement of the shaft, the large arc of the drive cage has a length equal to 1/2 the length of the camouflage device, which, when the shaft is rotated 1/2 turn, provides quick closure of the entire masked object, minimizing the complexity of the operation. The length of the camouflage device corresponds to the length of the masked object. All arcs of the frames are interconnected by folding spacers having upper hinges. Spacers provide the transfer of movement from one arc to another when closing or opening the device. Camouflage material is fixed on arcs.

 Since the closing and opening of the camouflage device is carried out only by turning the drive shaft, the safety of personnel is ensured when performing work to disguise the object.

 The drawing schematically shows a device for camouflaging military facilities.

 The camouflage device consists of camouflage material 1, mounted on the arcs of the leading and driven frames. The base of the lead frame is made in the form of a large arc 2 with small arcs hinged on it 3. The driven frame is a structure of arcs 4, the lower of which is stationary and is in the same plane as the large arc of the lead frame. The arcs of the driven frame have a common axis 5 located in the plane of the base of the frames. In the base plane there is a drive shaft 6, on which a large arc 2 is rigidly fixed. All arcs are interconnected by folding spacers 7 and 8 having upper hinges 9.

 When the shaft 6 is rotated clockwise 1/2 turn, all arcs and struts are added, revealing the masked object. The drive shaft can be driven manually or from a drive. The device can be fixed on the basis of the masked object and be an integral part of it or installed independently on the ground.

 This camouflage device allows you to quickly, with one turn of the drive shaft to carry out the sheathing or uncovering of the object.
