Abstract

The camouflage suit has a breathable-active fabric having an open fabric structure arranged on the base of a textile wearer and which partly exhibits a low emitting surface. The textile wearer is partly coated with an electrically-conductive material such as copper, nickel or an alloy. An independent claim is included for a method for the fabrication of a camouflage suit.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Tarnanzug gemäss dem Oberbegriff nach Anspruch 1 sowie ein Verfahren zu dessen Herstellung.The present invention relates to a camouflage suit according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for its production.

Die bis heute verwendeten Tarnanzüge bzw. Kampfanzüge reduzieren die Entdeckbarkeit des Soldaten im visuellen und Nahen Infraroten des elektromagnetischen Spektrums, zeigen jedoch keine Wirkung im thermischen Infraroten. Durch die immer grössere Verfügbarkeit von Wärmebildgeräten ist der Soldat mehr und mehr ungeschützt vor Aufklärung.The camouflage suits or combat suits used to date reduce the discoverability of soldiers in the visual and near infrared of the electromagnetic spectrum, but show no effect in the thermal infrared. Due to the ever-increasing availability of thermal imaging devices, the soldier is more and more unprotected before enlightenment.

Als Lösung werden Anzüge angeboten, welche die Signatur im thermischen Infraroten reduzieren, wobei diese Anzüge in der überwiegenden Mehrzahl auf der Grundlage von Konfektion funktionieren. Dies bedeutet, dass diese Anzüge 3-dimensional konstruiert sind oder mehrere Lagen aufweisen, wie beispielsweise beschrieben in der Patentanmeldung veröffentlicht unter JP2005335154 . Beschrieben wird ein mehrschichtiges Laminatmaterial, aufweisend ein Basiskleidungsgewebe, überdeckt von einer Metallschicht, welche ihrerseits mit einer weiteren Harzschicht überdeckt ist.As a solution suits are offered which reduce the signature in the thermal infrared, these suits work in the vast majority on the basis of confection. This means that these suits are constructed 3-dimensionally or have multiple layers, as described for example in the patent application published under JP2005335154 , Described is a multilayer laminate material comprising a base garment fabric covered by a metal layer which in turn is covered with another layer of resin.

Weiter bekannt sind so genannte Pelerinen, welche wiederum eine geschlossene Oberfläche bzw. Aussenhaut aufweisen, welche ähnlich der erwähnten japanischen Patentanmeldung mit einer Metallbeschichtung versehen sind. Sowohl die in der japanischen Publikation beschriebene Lösung wie auch die erwähnten Pelerinen sind aber für Kampfeinsätze eher ungeeignet.Also known are so-called pelts, which in turn have a closed surface or outer skin, which are provided with a metal coating similar to the aforementioned Japanese patent application. However, both the solution described in the Japanese publication as well as the aforementioned pelts are rather unsuitable for combat missions.

Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung einen Tarnanzug vorzuschlagen, welcher auch bei so genannten Wärmebildgeräten mindestens einen teilweisen Schutz vor Erkennung gewährleisten kann.It is therefore an object of the present invention to propose a camouflage suit, which can ensure at least partial protection against detection even in so-called thermal imaging devices.

Die Erfindung wird mittels eines Tarnanzuges gemäss dem Wortlaut nach Anspruch 1 gelöst.The invention is achieved by means of a camouflage suit according to the wording of claim 1.

Vorgeschlagen wird ein Tarnanzug zum reduzieren der Entdeckbarkeit von Personen im visuellen und infra-roten Spektrum wie insbesondere thermischen Infrarotspektrum aufweisend ein atmungsaktives Gewebe mit einer offenen Gewebestruktur auf Basis eines textilen Trägers, welcher wenigstens teilweise eine niedrig emittierende Oberfläche aufweist. Der vorgeschlagene Anzug reduziert die thermische Signatur auf dem Prinzip der niedrig emittierenden Oberfläche. Weiter ist der erfindungsgemäss vorgeschlagene Tarnanzug atmungsaktiv und schränkt den Soldaten in seiner Beweglichkeit nicht ein. Zudem ist er auch tauglich für den Kampf im überbauten Gelände.A camouflage suit is proposed for reducing the detectability of persons in the visual and infra-red spectrum, in particular a thermal infrared spectrum comprising a breathable fabric with an open fabric structure based on a textile support which at least partially has a low-emitting surface. The proposed suit reduces the thermal signature on the principle of low-emitting surface. Furthermore, the camouflage suit proposed according to the invention is breathable and does not restrict the mobility of the soldier. In addition, he is also fit for the fight in built-up terrain.

Gemäss einer Ausführungsvariante besteht der Anzug aus einem offenen Gewebe mit einem textilen Träger, welcher mindestens teilweise mit einem elektrisch-leitenden Material umwandelt ist. Dabei kann es sich um einen metallischen Werkstoff handeln, wie beispielsweise Kupfer, Nickel oder eine entsprechende Legierung.According to one embodiment, the suit consists of an open fabric with a textile support which is at least partially converted with an electrically conductive material. It may be a metallic material, such as copper, nickel or a corresponding alloy.

Der textile Träger kann aber aus einem reinen Polyester-, Polyamid-, Polypropylen- oder einem Mischgewebe bestehen, ummantelt mindestens teilweise mit einem elektrisch-leitenden Material wie versehen mit einer Metallbeschichtung.However, the textile carrier may consist of a pure polyester, polyamide, polypropylene or a blended fabric, at least partially encased with an electrically conductive material as provided with a metal coating.

Weiter vorgeschlagen wird, dass das Gewebe, in Tarnfarbe bedruckt wird.It is also proposed that the fabric be printed in camouflage color.

Mittels punktförmigem Kaschieren wird dieses Material mit einem Standardtextil, beispielsweise einem Baumwoll- oder Baumwoll/Polyestermischgewebe verbunden.By means of point-like lamination, this material is combined with a standard textile, for example a cotton or cotton / polyester blend fabric.

Der Emissionsgrad im Spektralbereich von beispielsweise 8 bis 12µm des fertigen Gewebes soll bei ca. 40 bis 60% wie beispielsweise ca. 50% liegen. Das bedruckte, metallisierte Gewebe wird als Aussenseite verwendet. Ohne Textildruck beträgt die Emissivität ca. 10%, nach dem Bedrucken erhöht sich die Emissivität auf ca. 50%. Die Metallisierung des rohen Gewebes erfolgt beispielsweise chemisch in einem Tauchbad. Alternativ zur chemischen Metallisierung kann das offene Gewebe auch physikalisch metallisiert werden. Anschliessend wird dieses vor dem Bedrucken vorzugsweise mit einem Polymer beschichtet, um es Bedrucken zu können. Es muss dabei darauf geachtet werden, dass die Beschichtung keinen vollständigen Film auf dem Gewebe bildet, der den Luft- und Feuchtigkeitsdurchgang zu stark reduziert.The emissivity in the spectral range of, for example, 8 to 12 μm of the finished fabric should be about 40 to 60%, for example about 50%. The printed, metallized fabric is used as the outside. Without textile printing the emissivity amounts to approx. 10%, after the printing the emissivity increases to approx. 50%. The metallization of the raw fabric takes place, for example, chemically in an immersion bath. As an alternative to chemical metallization, the open tissue can also be physically metallized. Subsequently, this is preferably coated before printing with a polymer to print it. Care must be taken to ensure that the coating does not form a complete film on the fabric, which greatly reduces the passage of air and moisture.

Erfindungsgemäss vorgeschlagene Tarnanzüge bzw. Kampfanzüge können aus dem so hergestellten Gewebe ganz normal konfektioniert werden.According to the invention proposed camouflage suits or combat suits can be made up of the fabric thus produced quite normal.

Weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsvarianten des erfindungsgemässen Tarnanzuges sind in abhängigen Ansprüchen charakterisiert.Further preferred embodiments of the camouflage suit according to the invention are characterized in dependent claims.

Weiter vorgeschlagen wird ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Tarnanzuges gemäss dem Wortlaut nach einem der Ansprüche 7 oder 8. Gemäss einer Ausführungsvariante wird vorgeschlagen, dass zuerst ein Faden wie beispielsweise ein Baumwollfaden, ein Faden aus einem polymeren Material wie Polyester, Polyamid, Polypropylen oder einem Mischgewebe metallisiert wird und anschliessend verwoben wird zur Herstellung des Tarngewebes. Dabei kann der Faden vor der Konfektionierung bzw. Metallisierung eingefärbt werden oder aber anschliessend kann das erfindungsgemäss hergestellte Tarngewebe mit einer Tarnfarbe bedruckt werden.Further proposed is a method for producing a camouflage suit according to the wording of one of claims 7 or 8. According to a variant embodiment, it is proposed that first a thread such as a cotton thread, a thread of a polymeric material such as polyester, polyamide, polypropylene or a blended fabric is metallized and then interwoven to produce the Tarngewebes. In this case, the thread can be dyed before the fabrication or metallization or else subsequently the camouflage fabric produced according to the invention can be printed with a camouflage color.

Alternativ ist es aber auch möglich zuerst das offene Tarngewebe herzustellen und dieses anschliessend wenigstens nahezu vollständig zu metallisieren. Dabei geeignet sind einerseits das chemische Behandeln mittels eines Tauchbades oder aber physikalisches Aufbringen der metallischen Beschichtung durch Sprühen, Aufsintern, das Auftragen mittels einem Rakel etc.Alternatively, however, it is also possible first to produce the open camouflage fabric and then to at least almost completely metallize it. Suitable on the one hand are the chemical treatment by means of a dip bath or physical application of the metallic coating by spraying, sintering, applying by means of a doctor blade, etc.

Die Herstellung eines erfindungsgemässen Tarnanzuges erfolgt schliesslich durch Aufbringen des Tarngewebes auf ein beispielsweise Baumwoll- oder Baumwollpolyestermischgewebe, wie üblicherweise verwendet, beispielsweise für herkömmliche Kampfanzüge, Arbeitskleidung, etc. Das Aufbringen des Tarngewebes erfolgt dabei beispielsweise mittels punktweisem Kaschieren, d.h. unter Verwendung eines punktförmig auf das eine oder andere Gewebe aufgebrachten Heissschmelzklebers, wie üblicherweise beispielsweise in der Textilkonfektion verwendet und anschliessendem Verpressen. Das punktweise Kaschieren ermöglicht, dass der schlussendliche Tarnanzug atmungsaktiv ist. Gemäss eines Ausführungsbeispiels werden ca. 100 g/m2 an Tarngewebe sowie ca. 100 g/m2 Textilgewebe für die Herstellung des erfindungsgemässen Tarnanzuges verwendet. Selbstverständlich sind je nach Anwendung andere Gewichtsverhältnisse möglich.The manufacture of a camouflage suit according to the invention is finally carried out by applying the camouflage fabric to, for example, cotton or cotton polyester blend fabric, as is customarily used, for example for conventional combat clothing, Workwear, etc. The Tarngewebes applied, for example, by means of point-wise lamination, ie using a point-like applied to one or the other fabric hotmelt adhesive, as usually used for example in textile confectioning and subsequent pressing. The pointwise concealment allows the final camouflage suit to be breathable. According to one embodiment about 100 g / m 2 of camouflage fabric and about 100 g / m 2 textile fabric used for the production of camouflage suit according to the invention. Of course, depending on the application, other weight ratios are possible.
