CAMOUFLAGE DEVICE Docket CAMOUFLAGE DEVICE FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention a a durnblc and support with A camouflage layer bonded to BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION even though possessing on the selection of ft certain appearance of an object the apcctral of interest and on the of such Appearance a surface by possessing suitable physical such HS reflection as well corresponding a spotted These parameters are usually constant over while behavior of natural environment changes continuously in the course of the Materials which ar suitable for camouflage purposes during the daytime often proved to be unsuitable in the and vice Those problems can be by regularly changing the camouflage which is aod and by suitable relief the overhead sprinkling of military vehicles with Designing controllable or adaptive camouflage systems with a correspondingly adjustable behavior also but this requires a complicated technology at a eorreipondingly high The more complicated the technology required for the higher must be the durability of the ge but this contradicts the usual purpose of the devices rapid German Patent describes a camouflage agent which is from webs or which of such as

mentioned camouflage devices fail to make it possible to accomplish baaie object of the present to provide a camouflage device which is also suitable use as a contamination protection against the action of chemical substances account of its impermeability to water and Λ besides the camouflage and whose emission and reflection behavior in the course of the day extensively made to resemble that of a natural vegetation According to the a camouflage device comprising a durable and support layer with a camouflage layer bonded to The camouflage layer essentially consists of cellulose in the form of a fleece or a cell structure with a such that an emission and reflection behavior which extensively to that of the natural vegetation background in the course of the is camouflage layer is preferably made of a predyed starling A dye is preferably added to additionally guarantee a defined minimum durability of the camouflage layer The camouflage layer preferably cut to standardised whose are provided with fastening means hook and loop for composing camouflage surfaces from plural camouflage layers or plural camouflage of any desired According to a further feature of tbe a process is provided comprising providing a durable and support bonding a camouflage layer to the support The camouflage layer Is formed essentially consisting of cellulose in the form of a fleece or ft cell structure with of cellulose and or The camouflage layer it preferably made of a predyed starting A dye is preferably added to additionally guarantee a defined minimum durability of the camouflage layer cellulose of a color cottons of various shades is also contemplated according to the The camouflage layer is cut to standardized whose edges are provided fastening means book and loop for composing camouflage surfaces plural camouflage layers or plural camouflage of any desired The further provides a camouflage device including a support layer and camouflage layer which provide a camouflage film function and provide A contamination protection a film protecting against chemical warfare the present invention departs the concept of the material service life with resistant and it a nearly natural This makes possible a high moisture storage capacity and a nearly natural emisiion in the infrared It ia essential that the surface structure prevents heating above the environmental level during insolation and cooling below the environmental level in the The cellulose fibers proposed the starting material are arranged such that a structure with large surface and with a large storage volume is The camouflage device according to the present invention also offers the advantage that due to impermeability to water and it is also suitable for contamination protection against the effect of chemical warfare besides the camouflage the camouflage device apread over the object to protected in the case of a chemical the warfare agents occurring are up and absorbed by the surface Alter the alarm has been called the camouflage device can be removed in the form of a combination folded and disposed An expensive decontamiaation of the objeet and the more or less long unavailability or the transportation to the site of are avoided in most cases as a Sufficient camouflaging of the object is thus guaranteed by the combination of effect and contamination protection even in the of a chemical The various features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity the claims annexed to and forming a part of this For a better of the its operating advantages and specific objects Attained by reference to the accompanying and descriptive in which preferred of the invention arc BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In the Figure it a perspective view of detail of a exemplary embodiment according to the and 2 it perspective view of a detail of a second embodiment according to the DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to the in in which identical arc designated with the same reference the invention compriiei support film 1 with high tear a available PVCor PE which is provided with a support matrix 2 this support matrix not absolutely support matrix may be applied to the support film 1 by means of suitable adhesive The film thickness depends on the requirements imposed on the durability and the handling of the camouflage the tendency to tear at the corners and edges of the object to be camouflaged is markedly reduced a film thickness beginning from The film 1 is advantageously provided with a plurality of anchoring rings 6 for fastening to the object to be In the exemplary embodiment shown in Figure a fiber carpet 3 made of cellulose is applied to the support matrix which consists textile and the said cellulose fibers arc made of predyed cellulose material in order to obtain their moisture storage The dye is due to the addition of suitable adhesive that it guarantees a minimum of resistance of the fibers to atmospheric a durability of 24 hours under adverse weather Cellulose is the most widespread carbon compound occurring in a polysaccharide of the formal total composition of in which the subscript n is generally a number up to and the molecular weight is between and In the exemplary embodiment shown in Figure reference number 1 again designates a support film made of a commercially available To the support film the support matrix one made of textile is A cellulose support layer 4 is arranged on the support matrix The cellulose support layer 4 has arranged thereon an actual cellulose cell structure 8 in the form of small elastic This structure is covered with a and or porous membrane 5 made of a suitable plastic Is a durable And support The cellulose in the form of M fleece or a cell structure with a of cellulose or dyed undyed cellulose which is not dyed at cellulose of a natural color of various shades it also contemplated according to the The camouflage layer is cut to standardised whose edges provided with fastening means hook and loop for composing camouflage surfaces from plural camouflage layers or plural camouflage of desired The support layer and camouflage layer provide a camouflage film function also provide a contamination protection a protecting chemical warfare specific of have been shown end described in to illustrate the application of the principles of the it will be uuderatood that the invention be eoibodied without departing from such insufficientOCRQuality
