Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for camouflaging military devices, consisting of a frame that carries a camouflage net or the like and consists of elastically or plastically deformable arms.
- Devices of this type have the advantage that the arms can be deformed many times, so that an irregular structure is formed.
- a regularity such as that of other known tam devices reduces the camouflage effect, because a regular structure is much more noticeable in nature than an irregularly shaped one.
- the one ends of the elastically or plastically deformable arms are fastened to a connecting body and the other ends opposite the connecting body are placed on the device to be camouflaged or fastened on this device.
- the ends opposite the connecting body are connected to one another by ropes. The handling of these devices is somewhat difficult and it takes some practice to set up the devices appropriately.
- the invention therefore has set itself the goal of creating a device of the type mentioned, which is easier to handle while maintaining all the advantages of the known devices. This is achieved in a quick and simple manner in that both ends of the elastically or plastically deformable arms are each attached to a connecting body. If, in a device according to the invention, the two connecting bodies are brought closer to one another, this inevitably results in an irregular structure, the contours of which can still be changed in various ways.
- the connecting bodies can themselves be designed as an elastically or plastically deformable part. This measure allows the design variants of the frame carrying the camouflage net or the like to be multiplied further. But it is also possible to have the ends of the elastically or plastically deformable
- a longitudinally variable traction element for example a cord is arranged between the two Connection body and / or individual arms.
- a longitudinally variable traction element for example a cord is arranged between the two Connection body and / or individual arms.
- the device is achieved if a fastening strap or the like is arranged on at least one of the arms for fastening to the device to be camouflaged. It is thus possible to leave the device on the device permanently, taking up little space when folded. If the device is to be camouflaged, pulling on one of the arms or on the cord connecting the connecting bodies is practically sufficient to bring the device into its operative position.
- camouflage net carried by the elastically or plastically deformable arms is at least partially elastic.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a frame of a device according to the invention in the folded state.
- Figure 2 on an enlarged scale the connecting body used in the frame of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a view of part of a differently shaped connecting body.
- 4 shows the diagrammatic top view of a device which is attached to a device illustrated by a surface, the device being in the folded state;
- 5 shows a device attached to a device in the extended state;
- 6 shows the schematic representation of a device attached to a tracked vehicle;
- FIG. 7 is a top view of a device illustrating the use of cords; 8 shows a further embodiment of the invention in a diagram; 9 shows, on an enlarged scale, a disk-shaped connecting body; 10 shows a camouflage device in which the arms consist of partial arms which are rigid per se; 11 shows the connection of the rigid partial arms according to FIG. 10; 12 camouflage aids attached to an arm; 13 shows an embodiment of the invention with rings which can be enlarged and reduced in size on a tube in its tam position; FIG. 14 the embodiment according to FIG. 6 in its rest position; the Fig.
- elastically or plastically deformable arms 1, 1 ', 1 are each pivotally attached at their ends to an approximately U-shaped connecting body 2 in the example.
- This connecting body 2 can itself be flexible, that is to say elastically or plastically deformable and forms the axis of rotation for the arms 1, 1 'and 1 ".
- the arm 1 'and tightening the arm 1 will therefore deform all the arms 1, 1' and 1", with the connecting body 2 approaching each other.
- a frame similar to FIG. 5 can be created.
- a camouflage net or the like can be connected to such a frame, so that an irregularly shaped body is created, which is the device on which it is attached , effectively camouflaged.
- an arrangement can also be selected in which the arms 1 are mutually perpendicular by two in the manner of a universal joint standing axes are pivotable, namely by means of the sleeves 3 surrounding the connecting piece 2 in one plane and by means of the axis 4 which is perpendicular thereto in the other plane.
- this device is a tracked vehicle 7, on which by means of
- Fastening tab 6 a device according to the invention is attached.
- the end position of the extended arms is determined by cords 8, so that in the example the right chain of the tracked vehicle 7 is at least partially covered by the device according to the invention.
- 7 illustrates that, in particular when using elastically deformable arms through the targeted use of connecting cords, an irregular shape of the frame intended for carrying the camouflage net can be forced.
- the two connecting bodies 2 are pulled towards one another by a cord 9. On this cord 9 engages a cord 10 that deforms the arm 1 a. Another cord 11 deforms the arm 1b.
- elastically or plastically deformable arms 1a are fastened at their ends via articulated connections 12 to disk-shaped connecting bodies 13 which have a circumferential reinforcing bead 14 which is not absolutely necessary.
- These connecting bodies 13 can themselves be flexible, that is to say elastically or plastically deformable, and form the axis of rotation for the arms 1a. When, for example, one arm 1a is held and tightened on another arm, all the arms 1a will deform, the connecting bodies 13 approaching one another.
- the arms 1 a can not only be deformed towards the side of the articulated connections 12, but also towards the other side. Since these have to be bent over the edge of the connecting body 13, the resulting structure inevitably results in a different appearance.
- a camouflage net or the like can be thrown over such a frame, so that an irregularly shaped body is created which effectively camouflages the device on which it is attached.
- spring-like elements 17 are attached to an arm 1a by means of a holding device 18.
- a movement is brought into the tam device when the wind or the like.
- Rigid bodies can be recognized much more easily by an observer than moving ones. It is also possible, when used as a dummy body, which is intended to deceive the attacker, to provide the dummy with flashing or conspicuous gamings, so as to simulate the presence of a body to be destroyed.
- the connecting body is designed in a further embodiment as a ring 22 which can be displaced on the pipe 24.
- 15 and 16 is provided with a closure 23 for opening.
- the closure 23 can be equipped with a spring 24 (Fig. 16).
- FIG. 13 shows a tamper device in its tam position, FIG. 14, however, in its rest position. It is readily apparent that only a few steps are required to bring the tam device into its rest position.
- the shape change of the arms 1a is brought about by rods 25 articulated on the arms, which engage on a ring 26 at their ends opposite the arms.
- the ring 26 is provided with a holding pin 27 which, e.g. can be pulled into an opening 29 of the connecting body 13 'by means of a cord 28.
- the arms 1a are locked.
- the tam device can be returned to its rest position by pressing the holding pin 27.
