Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Tarnung militärischer Geräte, nach den Oberbegriffen der Ansprüche 1 und 2.The invention relates to a device for camouflaging military devices, according to the preambles of claims 1 and 2.

Aus der US-A-4 441 518 (siehe den Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1) ist eine Tarnvorrichtung bekannt geworden, die regenschirmartig aufklappbare Arme besitzt, die elastisch ausgebidet sind. Mehrere solche "Regenschirmgestelle" können ein Tarnnetz tragen. Eine wesentliche Verformung der Gestelle zur Erreichung einer anderen Form der Tarnung ist nicht möglich.From US-A-4 441 518 (see the preamble of claim 1) a camouflage device has become known which has umbrella-like foldable arms which are elastically extended. Several such "umbrella frames" can carry a camouflage net. A substantial deformation of the frames to achieve a different form of camouflage is not possible.

In der WO-A-92 04592, welches Dokument unter Art. 54(3) EPÜ fällt, ist eine Tarnvorrichtung beschrieben, die aus einem mehrere plastisch oder elastisch verformbare Arme aufweisenden Gestell besteht, das ein Tarnnetz od. dgl. trägt, wobei die oberen Enden mindestens einiger Tragarme über einen scheibenförmigen Verbindungskörper miteinander verbunden sind. Bei der Ausführung mit elastisch verformbaren Tragarmen sind deren obere Enden an einer Seite des Verbindungskörpers mit diesem gelenkig verbunden und die dem Verbindungskörper gegenüberliegenden Enden sind mittels Seilen miteinander verbunden. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß das getarnte Gerät unregelmäßig erscheint, wobei jedoch trotzdem ein schneller Auf- und Abbau der Tarnvorrichtung möglich ist.In WO-A-92 04592, which document falls under Art. 54 (3) EPC, a camouflage device is described, which consists of a frame having several plastically or elastically deformable arms, which carries a camouflage net or the like upper ends of at least some support arms are connected to one another via a disk-shaped connecting body. In the embodiment with elastically deformable support arms, their upper ends are articulated to one side of the connecting body and the ends opposite the connecting body are connected to one another by means of cables. This ensures that the camouflaged device appears irregular, but nevertheless a quick assembly and disassembly of the camouflage device is possible.

Die Erfindung hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, eine solche Vorrichtung so auszubilden, daß sie auf einfachste Weise zur Tarnung in verschiedenen Geländeformen und/oder zu verschiedenen Jahreszeiten geeignet ist. Erreicht wird dieses Ziel bei einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung dadurch, daß die plastisch oder elastisch verformbaren Tragarme mit ihren dem Verbindungskörper gegenüberliegenden Enden nach beiden Seiten des Verbindungskörpers hin umklappbar sind.The invention has set itself the goal of designing such a device so that it is suitable in the simplest way for camouflage in different terrain and / or at different times of the year. This object is achieved in one embodiment of the invention in that the plastically or elastically deformable support arms with their ends opposite the connecting body can be folded over on both sides of the connecting body.

Durch Verformung der Arme einmal nach der einen, das andere Mal nach der anderen Seite, entsteht ein verschiedenes Aussehen, insbesondere wenn das Tarnnetz od.dgl. an beiden Seiten anders ausgeführt ist.By deforming the arms once to one side, the other time to the other side, a different appearance is created, especially if the camouflage net or the like. is executed differently on both sides.

Die andere Ausführung des Tarnnetzes od.dgl. kann grundsätzlich dadurch erreicht werden, daß beide Seiten eines Tarnnetzes od.dgl. verschieden ausgeführt sind. Um die Arme in beiden möglichen Stellungen der Vorrichtung zu bedecken, ist es jedoch vorteilhaft, die Arme beidseitig mit einem Tarnnetz od.dgl. zu bedecken und den beiden Tarnnetzen od.dgl. ein unterschiedliches Aussehen zu geben.The other version of the camouflage net or the like. can basically be achieved in that both sides of a camouflage network or the like. are executed differently. In order to cover the arms in both possible positions of the device, however, it is advantageous to cover the arms on both sides with a camouflage net or the like. to cover and the like, the two camouflage nets. to give a different look.

Um ein selbsttätiges Umklappen einer mit elastisch verformbaren Tragarmen ausgestatteten Vorrichtung zu erreichen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn am Verbindungskörper den Gelenkverbindungen gegenüberliegend wenigstens ein Zugseil angreift, dessen anderes Ende mit einem Arm verbunden ist. Zweckmäßig ist dieses Zugseil elastisch.To automatically fold down one equipped with elastically deformable support arms To achieve the device, it is advantageous if at least one traction rope acts on the connecting body opposite the articulated connections, the other end of which is connected to an arm. This pull rope is expediently elastic.

Eine besonders unregelmäßige Form in beiden Stellungen der Vorrichtung wird erreicht, wenn die Arme verschieden lang sind.A particularly irregular shape in both positions of the device is achieved when the arms are of different lengths.

Eine einfache Vergrößerung der zu tarnenden Fläche bzw. des zu tarnenden Gerätes ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch möglich, daß mindestens zwei mit elastisch oder plastisch verformbaren Armen versehene scheibenförmige Verbindungskörper vorgesehen sind und mindestens einer der Arme mit beiden Verbindungskörpern verbunden ist.A simple enlargement of the surface to be camouflaged or of the device to be camouflaged is possible according to the invention in that at least two disk-shaped connecting bodies provided with elastically or plastically deformable arms are provided and at least one of the arms is connected to both connecting bodies.

Eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung, die sich insbesondere bei plastisch verformbaren Armen bewährt hat, zeichnet sich dadurch aus, das der scheibenförmige Verbindungskörper seitliche Offnungen aufweist, in die die Arme eingesteckt sind.An embodiment of the invention, which has proven particularly useful in the case of plastically deformable arms, is distinguished by the fact that the disk-shaped connecting body has lateral openings into which the arms are inserted.

Damit eine sichere Anpassung der Befestigung an das zu tarnende Gerät erreicht wird, sind die Enden wenigstens einiger Arme an Saugfüßen gehaltert, deren Stiel eine Einschnürung aufweist, so daß der Saugfuß gegenüber dem Stiel schwenkbar ist. Um eine Sicht nach außen bzw. ein freies Feld für eine Schußwaffe zu erreichen, kann das Tarnnetz od.dgl. verschließbare Offnungen besitzen. Nachstehend ist die Erfindung an Hand von in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher beschrieben. Dabei zeigen:

  • Fig.1 in schaubildlicher Ansicht eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung mit elastisch verformbaren Armen ohne Tarnnetz;
  • Fig.2 in vergrößertem Maßstab die Untersicht auf die Verbindungsstelle der einzelnen Arme gemäß Fig.1;

So that a secure adjustment of the attachment to the device to be camouflaged is achieved, the ends of at least some arms are held on suction feet, the handle of which has a constriction, so that the suction foot can be pivoted relative to the handle. In order to achieve a view to the outside or a free field for a firearm, the camouflage net or the like can. have closable openings. The invention is described in more detail below on the basis of exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings. Show:

Gemäß den Fig.l bis 3 sind elastisch verformbare Arme 1 vorgesehen, die im gezeigten Beispiel einen flachen Querschnitt besitzen. Diese Arme 1 sind an ihrem oberen Ende über Gelenkverbindungen 1' an einer Seite eines scheibenförmigen Verbindungskörpers 2 befestigt, der einen nicht unbedingt erforderlichen umlaufenden Verstärkungswulst 3 aufweist.According to FIGS. 1 to 3, elastically deformable arms 1 are provided, which in the example shown have a flat cross section. These arms 1 are fastened at their upper end via articulated connections 1 'on one side of a disk-shaped connecting body 2 which has a circumferential reinforcing bead 3 which is not absolutely necessary.

Die dem Verbindungskörper 2 gegenüberliegenden Enden der Arme 1 sind durch Seile 4 miteinander verbunden und mit Fixierorganen (nicht dargestellt), z.B. Spießen, Haken, Saugern od.dgl. versehen, die eine Verbindung der Arme 1 mit dem Boden oder dem zu tarnenden Gerät ermöglichen. Ein Zugseil 5 ist vom Boden (oder Gerät) nach oben durch eine Offnung 6 des Verbindungskörpers 2 zu einer Klemme 7 geführt, wo es fixiert ist. Die Klemme 7 könnte nach Art einer Hebelklemme ausgebildet sein, wie sie zur Fixierung der Leinen bei Seglern verwendet wird.The ends of the arms 1 opposite the connecting body 2 are connected to one another by ropes 4 and with fixing elements (not shown), e.g. Skewers, hooks, suckers or the like. provided that allow a connection of the arms 1 to the ground or the device to be camouflaged. A traction cable 5 is guided from the floor (or device) upwards through an opening 6 of the connecting body 2 to a clamp 7, where it is fixed. The clamp 7 could be designed in the manner of a lever clamp, as is used to fix the lines in sailors.

Ein weiteres Zugseil 8 ist von dem in der Zeichnung vorderen rechten Arm 1 zum Boden (bzw. dem Gerät) gespannt.Another traction rope 8 is stretched from the front right arm 1 in the drawing to the floor (or the device).

Wie aus Fig.1 ersichtlich ist, entsteht durch die Flexibilität der Arme 1 und die Verspannung durch die Zugseile 5, 8 ein unregelmäßiges Gebilde 9, ein Scheinkörper, der, wird er mit einem Tarnnetz od.dgl. überzogen, eine vorzügliche Tarnung ergibt. Dabei ist es auf einfache Weise möglich, die Form dieses Gebildes 9 zu verändern. Es braucht nur die wirksame Länge des Zugseiles 5 oder 8 verändert werden, bzw. wird die Form dann verändert, wenn beim Anziehen des Zugseiles 5 ein Arm 1 entweder nach innen oder nach außen gebogen wird. Die Unregelmäßigkeit des Gebildes 9 wird noch dadurch erhöht, daß die Arme 1 ungleich lang sind.As can be seen from FIG. 1, the flexibility of the arms 1 and the bracing by the traction cables 5, 8 result in an irregular structure 9, a dummy body, or the like with a camouflage net. covered, gives an excellent camouflage. It is easily possible to change the shape of this structure 9. It is only necessary to change the effective length of the pull rope 5 or 8, or the shape is changed if an arm 1 is bent either inwards or outwards when the pull rope 5 is tightened. The irregularity of the structure 9 is increased by the fact that the arms 1 are of unequal length.

Wird das Gebilde 9 nach Fig.1 mit einem Tarnnetz 10 bedeckt, ergibt sich ein Aussehen, wie es etwa in Fig.4 dargestellt ist.If the structure 9 according to FIG. 1 is covered with a camouflage net 10, the result is an appearance as shown, for example, in FIG.

Die Arme 1 können jedoch nicht nur nach der Seite der Gelenkverbindungen 1' hin, sondern auch nach der anderen Seite hin verformt werden. Da sie dann über den Rand 2' des Verbindungskörpers 2 gebogen werden müssen, ergibt sich zwangsläufig ein anderes Aussehen des dabei entstehenden Gebildes. Ein solches Gebilde 9', das von selbst stehend ist und demnach keiner Zugseile 5,8 bedarf, ist in Fig.5 dargestellt.However, the arms 1 can be deformed not only on the side of the articulated connections 1 ', but also on the other side. Since they then over the edge 2 'of the connecting body 2 must be bent, there is inevitably a different appearance of the resulting structure. Such a structure 9 ', which stands by itself and therefore does not require any traction cables 5, 8, is shown in FIG. 5.

Es entsteht aber bei der Verformung der Arme 1 nach der anderen Seite hin nicht nur eine andere Form, das Aussehen wird im Beispiel auch dadurch verändert, daß die Arme 1 auf der mit dem Tarnnetz 10 gegenüberliegenden Seite mit einem anders aussehenden Tarnnetz 10' bedeckt sind. Es ist so z.B. eine Winter- Sommertarnung, eine Wiesen- Wüstentarnung usw. mit einer Vorrichtung möglich.However, when the arms 1 are deformed towards the other side, not only does another shape emerge, the appearance is also changed in the example in that the arms 1 are covered with a different-looking camouflage net 10 'on the side opposite the camouflage net 10 . It is e.g. a winter-summer camouflage, a meadow-desert camouflage etc. possible with one device.

In Fig.3 ist dargestellt, daß an der den Gelenkverbindungen 1' gegenüberliegenden Seite des Verbindungskörpers 2 die einen Enden elastischer Zugseile 11 befestigt sind, deren andere Enden mit je einem Arm 1 verbunden sind. Bei einer Verformung der Arme 1 nach (bezogen auf Fig.3) oben hin, werden daher diese elastischen Zugseile 11 die Arme 1 selbsttätig nach innen ziehen, sodaß ein selbsttätiges Aufklappen erfolgt.In Figure 3 it is shown that on the side of the connecting body 2 opposite the articulated connections 1 'the one ends of elastic traction cables 11 are fastened, the other ends of which are each connected to an arm 1. If the arms 1 are deformed towards the top (with reference to FIG. 3), these elastic traction cables 11 will automatically pull the arms 1 inwards, so that they open automatically.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig.6 sind plastisch verformbare Arme 12 in seitliche Offnungen von scheibenförmigen Verbindungskörpern 13 eingesteckt und dort befestigt. Dies kann z.B. durch Reibung, Klebung oder Schweißung erfolgen. Die Arme können z.B. aus Kunststoff oder gewendeltem Draht bestehen.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 6, plastically deformable arms 12 are inserted into lateral openings of disk-shaped connecting bodies 13 and fastened there. This can e.g. by friction, gluing or welding. The arms can e.g. made of plastic or coiled wire.

Im gezeigten Beispiel sind zwei Verbindungskörper 13 angeordnet und die beiden Arme 12' sind mit beiden Verbindungskörpern 13 verbunden. Es entsteht dadurch ein größerer getarnter Bereich, wobei die Arme 12 wieder nach beiden Seiten der Verbindungskörper 13 hin verformbar sind, d.h. sie können (bezogen auf Fig.6) auch nach oben hin gebogen werden, wobei dann die gesamte Vorrichtung umgekehrt aufgestellt wird. Ist das Aussehen des Tarnnetzes oder der Tarnnetze an beiden Seiten der Arme 12 verschieden, ergibt sich zwangsläufig nicht nur eine andere Form sondern auch ein anderes Aussehen der Vorrichtung. In Fig. 6 sind der besseren Übersichtlichkeit wegen nur Teile der Tarnnetze od. dgl. dargestellt und zwar der dem Betrachter zugewandte Teil 10" und der innen liegende Teil 10"'.In the example shown, two connecting bodies 13 are arranged and the two arms 12 ′ are connected to both connecting bodies 13. This results in a larger camouflaged area, the arms 12 being deformable towards both sides of the connecting body 13 again, ie they can also be bent upward (based on FIG. 6), the entire device then being set up in reverse. If the appearance of the camouflage net or the camouflage nets is different on both sides of the arms 12, this not only results in a different shape but also a different appearance of the device. For better clarity, only parts of the camouflage nets or the like are shown in FIG. 6, namely the part 10 ″ facing the viewer and the part 10 ″ lying on the inside.

Durch die vielfältigen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung bedingt, soll auch die Befestigung der Enden der Arme 1 bzw. 12 an den verschiedenen Geräten anpassungsfähig sein. Dies wird durch einen Saugfuß gemäß Fig.7 erreicht, dessen Stiel 16 am Obergang zur Saugplatte 17 eine Einschnürrung 18 aufweist. Dadurch ist es möglich, den Stiel 16 und damit die Arme 1 bzw. 12 gegenüber der am Gerät haftenden Saugplatte 17 zu verschwenken, wie es durch die eingetragenen Mittellinien angedeutet ist.Due to the diverse application possibilities of a device according to the invention, the attachment of the ends of the arms 1 and 12 to the various devices should also be adaptable. This is achieved by means of a squeegee according to FIG. 7, the stem 16 of which has a constriction 18 at the transition to the suction plate 17. This makes it possible to pivot the handle 16 and thus the arms 1 and 12 relative to the suction plate 17 adhering to the device, as is indicated by the center lines entered.
