Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein mit einer Tarnungsvorrichtung versehenes militärisches Gerät, das eine Längsachse hat, wobei diese Tarnungsvorrichtung ein mit diesem Gerät verbundenes, aus mehreren Tragarmen bestehende Gestell ist, das ein Tarnnetz od.dgl. trägt.The invention relates to a military device provided with a camouflage device, which has a longitudinal axis, wherein this camouflage device is a frame connected to this device, consisting of several support arms, or the like, a camouflage net. wearing.

Es sind Tarnungsvorrichtungen bekannt, deren Tragarme ähnlich wie bei einem Regenschirm auf- und zusammenklappbar sind, wobei meist mehrere Schirme zur Tarnung eines Gerätes verwendet werden. Als nachteilig wurde dabei die Kreisform und die große Bauhöhe solcher Schirme angesehen.There are known camouflage devices, the support arms of which can be opened and closed in a manner similar to an umbrella, usually several umbrellas being used to camouflage a device. The circular shape and the great height of such umbrellas were considered to be disadvantageous.

Um diese Nachteile zu vermeiden, wurden schon Tarnungsvorrichtungen verwendet, deren Tragarme fächerartig um an einem Träger angeordnete vertikale Achsen auf- und zusammenklappbar sind. Auch bei diesen Vorrichtungen entsteht jedoch eine Art Kreisform, jedenfalls aber ein im wesentlich regelmäßiges Gebilde. Jede Regelmäßigkeit vermindert jedoch die Tarnwirkung, weil ein regelmäßiges Gebilde in der Natur viel mehr auffällt als ein unregelmäßig geformtes.In order to avoid these disadvantages, camouflage devices have already been used, the support arms of which can be opened and closed in a fan-like manner about vertical axes arranged on a support. In these devices, however, a kind of circular shape is created, but in any case an essentially regular structure. However, any regularity reduces the camouflage effect, because a regular structure in nature is much more noticeable than an irregularly shaped one.

Aus der FR-A-2 293 685 ist ein mit einer Tarnungsvorrichtung versehenes militärisches Gerät der eingangs genannten Art bekannt geworden, wobei am Gerät, einem Geschütz, aus geraden Stangen bestehende Rahmen schwenkbar gelagert sind, über die ein Tarnnetz gelegt ist und die im vorgeschwenkten Zustand die Geschützrohre überdecken. Es entsteht dadurch ebenfalls eine im wesentlichen regelmäßige Form der Tarnung, insbesondere stimmt die Längsachse der Tarnung mit der Längsachse des Geschützes überein.From FR-A-2 293 685 a military device of the type mentioned at the outset has been provided with a camouflage device, whereby frames consisting of straight rods are pivotally mounted on the device, a gun, over which a camouflage net is placed and which is swung forward State cover the gun barrels. This also creates an essentially regular form of camouflage, in particular the longitudinal axis of the camouflage coincides with the longitudinal axis of the gun.

Die Erfindung hat es sich daher zum Ziel gesetzt, eine Tarnungsvorrichtung so auszubilden, daß das damit getarnte militärische Gerät völlig unregelmäßig erscheint, wobei jedoch trotzdem ein schneller Auf- und Abbau der Vorrichtung sowie eine Beweglichkeit des Gerätes gewährleistet sein soll.The invention has therefore set itself the goal of designing a camouflage device so that the camouflaged military device appears completely irregular, but still a quick assembly and disassembly of the device and mobility of the device should be guaranteed.

Erreicht wird dies dadurch, daß das Gestell aus derart verschieden unregelmäßig geformten, durch Steck- oder Schraubverbindungen miteinander verbundenen Tragarmen besteht, daß eine visuell in Erscheinung tretende Längsachse des Gestelles und damit der Tarnung entsteht, die in einem Winkel zur Längsachse des militärischen Gerätes verläuft, so daß durch diese Verschiedenheit der Längsachsen eine Identifizierung des militärischen Gerätes erschwert wird.This is achieved in that the frame consists of such irregularly shaped support arms, which are connected to one another by plug-in or screw connections, that a visually apparent longitudinal axis of the frame and thus the camouflage arises, which runs at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the military device, so through this Differences in the longitudinal axes make identification of the military device difficult.

Die unregelmäßig geformten Tragarme der Tarnungsvorrichtung können leicht und schnell miteinander verbunden werden, wobei durch die verschiedenen Längsachsen eine völlig unregelmäßige Form entsteht.The irregularly shaped support arms of the camouflage device can be easily and quickly connected to one another, with the various longitudinal axes creating a completely irregular shape.

Die Unregelmäßigkeit der Tarnung kann insbesondere dadurch erhöht werden, daß das Gestell und damit die Tarnung zu beiden Seiten der Längsachse des militärischen Gerätes verschieden hoch ist.The irregularity of the camouflage can be increased in particular by the fact that the frame and thus the camouflage are of different heights on both sides of the longitudinal axis of the military device.

Um auch bei schnelleren Bewegungen des Gerätes eine absolut sichere Verbindung zu erhalten, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn zwischen den zusammengesteckten Teilen des Gestelles eine elastische Zwischenlage angeordnet ist.In order to obtain an absolutely secure connection even with faster movements of the device, it is advantageous if an elastic intermediate layer is arranged between the parts of the frame which are plugged together.

Nachstehend ist die Erfindung anhand eines in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher beschrieben, ohne jedoch auf dieses Beispiel beschränkt zu sein. Dabei zeigen: Fig. 1 die Draufsicht auf ein mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Tarnungsvorrichtung versehenes Zwillings-Fliegerabwehrgeschütz; Fig. 2 die Vorderansicht des getarnten Geschützes nach Fig. 1; Fig. 3 eine Ansicht in Richtung des Pfeiles III in Fig. 2; Fig. 4 eine entsprechende Ansicht in Richtung des Pfeiles IV in Fig. 2 und Fig. 5 im Halbschnitt eine vorzugsweise verwendete Steckverbindung.The invention is described in more detail below with reference to an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawings, but without being restricted to this example. 1 shows a plan view of a twin anti-aircraft gun provided with a camouflage device according to the invention; Fig. 2 is the front view of the camouflaged gun of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a view in the direction of arrow III in Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is a corresponding view in the direction of arrow IV in Fig. 2 and Fig. 5 in half section a preferably used connector.

Das in den Fig.1 bis 4 dargestellte Geschütz weist eine Unterlafette 1 und eine demgegenüber drehbare Oberlafette 2 auf. Die Unterlafette 1 ist über Ausleger 3 am Boden abgestützt und es ist mit ihr ein Fahrgestell verbunden, dessen Räder 4 in einer vom Boden abgehobenen Stellung dargestellt sind. Die Oberlafette 2 weist zwei Geschützrohre 5 mit den entsprechenden Zubehörteilen auf.The gun shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 has a lower mount 1 and an upper mount 2 which can be rotated in relation thereto. The lower carriage 1 is supported on the floor by means of a boom 3 and a chassis is connected to it, the wheels 4 of which are shown in a position raised from the floor. The upper mount 2 has two gun barrels 5 with the corresponding accessories.

Zur Tarnung der Oberlafette 2 ist mit dieser ein Gestell verbunden, das aus unregelmäßig gebogenen Armen besteht. Fest verbunden mit der Oberlafette sind die Arme 6 und 7, an die die übrigen Arme 8 angeschlossen werden.To camouflage the upper mount 2, a frame is connected to it, which consists of irregularly curved arms. Arms 6 and 7, to which the other arms 8 are connected, are firmly connected to the upper mount.

In Fig.3 ist durch quer verlaufende Linien angedeutet, wo die Arme 8 an die Arme 6 bzw. 7 angeschlossen werden. Die Verbindung erfolgt dabei über Steckkupplungen, von denen eine in Fig.5 dargestellt ist.In Figure 3 is indicated by transverse lines where the arms 8 are connected to the arms 6 and 7 respectively. The connection is made via plug-in couplings, one of which is shown in Fig.5.

Mit einem rohrförmigen Arm 6 oder 7 ist ein Kupplungsstück 9 verschweißt oder verklebt, auf dem entgegen der Wirkung einer Feder 10 eine Hülse 11 verschiebbar ist. Diese Hülse 11 ist mit einem Bund 12 versehen, der in Vertiefungen gelagerte Kugeln 13 nach innen in eine Ringnut 14 eines rohrförmigen Armes 8 drückt. Eine elastische Zwischenlage 15 hält die Verbindung unter Spannung. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß auch bei schnellen Drehbewegungen der Oberlafette 2 ein absolut fester Sitz der gegeneinander verriegelten Teile aufrecht erhalten wird.A coupling piece 9 is welded or glued to a tubular arm 6 or 7, on which a sleeve 11 can be displaced against the action of a spring 10. This sleeve 11 is provided with a collar 12 which presses balls 13 supported in recesses inwards into an annular groove 14 of a tubular arm 8. An elastic intermediate layer 15 holds the connection under tension. This ensures that an absolutely tight fit of the parts locked against each other is maintained even with rapid rotary movements of the upper mount 2.

Wird die Hülse 11 entgegen der Kraft der Feder 10 in Richtung zum Arm 6 hin verschoben, kann der Arm 8 ausgezogen werden, wobei die Kugeln 13 in eine Ringnut 16 der Hülse 11 ausweichen.If the sleeve 11 is pushed against the force of the spring 10 in the direction of the arm 6, the arm 8 can be pulled out, the balls 13 deflecting into an annular groove 16 in the sleeve 11.

Das Zwillingsgeschütz nach den Zeichnungen weist eine Längsachse X-X auf, die parallel zu und zwischen den Geschützrohren 5 verläuft. Insbesondere aus Fig.2 ist ersichtlich, daß der (bezogen auf Fig.2) links der Längsachse befindliche Gestellteil L höher als der rechts befindliche Gestellteil R ist. Aus Fig.1 ergibt sich, daß die visuell in Erscheinung tretende Längsachse Y-Y des Gestelles zur Längsachse X-X in einem Winkel verläuft.The twin gun according to the drawings has a longitudinal axis X-X which runs parallel to and between the gun barrels 5. It can be seen in particular from FIG. 2 that the frame part L located on the left of the longitudinal axis (based on FIG. 2) is higher than the frame part R located on the right. From Fig. 1 it follows that the longitudinal axis Y-Y of the frame, which appears visually, runs at an angle to the longitudinal axis X-X.

Auch mit den Geschützrohren 5 ist ein aus unregelmäßig gebogenen Armen bestehendes Gestell 17 verbunden, das sich jedoch nur über den Mittelteil der Geschützrohre 5 erstreckt.A frame 17 consisting of irregularly bent arms is also connected to the gun barrels 5, but only extends over the middle part of the gun barrels 5.

Sowohl über das aus den Armen 6, 7 und 8 bestehende Gestell als auch über das Gestell 17 werden Tarnnetze oder Planen 18 geworfen bzw. gespannt, sodaß eine völlig unregelmäßige Raumform entsteht, durch die eine optimale Tarnung ermöglicht wird.Camouflage nets or tarpaulins 18 are thrown or stretched over the frame consisting of the arms 6, 7 and 8 as well as over the frame 17, so that a completely irregular spatial shape is created, which enables optimal camouflage.

Selbstverständlich wird auch die Unterlafette 1 getarnt, wobei die Beweglichkeit der Oberlafette 2 gewahrt bleibt.Of course, the lower mount 1 is camouflaged, while the mobility of the upper mount 2 is maintained.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung, wie in der hinzugefügten Ansprüchen definiert, sind zahlreiche Abänderungen möglich. So kann die durch die Formung der Arme erzielte Raumform weitgehend variiert und an das zu tarnende Gerät angepaßt werden. Auch ist die Art der beschriebenen Steckverbindung lediglich eine beispielsweise und es kann jede bekannte Verbindung von Armen bzw. Rohren im Rahmen der Erfindung verwendet werden.Numerous changes are possible within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. So the spatial shape achieved by the shaping of the arms can largely be varied and adapted to the device to be camouflaged. The type of connector described is also only one example and any known connection of arms or tubes can be used in the context of the invention.
