Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Tarnung militärischer Geräte, entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a camouflage device military equipment, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bekannte Tarngeräte bestehen aus einem mehrere Tragarme aufweisenden Gestell, das ein Tarnnetz od. dgl. trägt, wobei ein Ende mindestens einiger Tragarme an einem Verbindungskörper befestigt ist und die Tragarme flexibel, insbes. elastisch oder plastisch verformbar ausgebildet sind.Known camouflage devices consist of a multiple support arms having frame that carries a camouflage net or the like., With one end at least some support arms is attached to a connecting body and the support arms are flexible, especially elastic or plastically deformable are trained.

Vorrichtungen dieser Art haben den Vorteil, daß die Arme vielfach verformt werden können, sodaß ein unregelmäßiges Gebilde entsteht. Eine Regelmäßigkeit, wie sie andere bekannte Tarnvorrichtungen aufweisen, vermindert nämlich die Tarnwirkung, weil ein regelmäßiges Gebilde in der Natur viel mehr auffällt, als ein unregelmäßig geformtes.Devices of this type have the advantage that the arms are multiple can be deformed so that an irregular structure is formed. A Regularity, as they have other known camouflage devices, namely reduces the camouflage effect, because a regular structure in the Nature stands out much more than an irregularly shaped one.

Bei den, z.B. aus der PCT/AT91/00099 bekannten Vorrichtungen sind die einen Enden der elastisch oder plastisch verformbaren Arme an einem Verbindungskörper befestigt und die anderen, dem Verbindungskörper gegenüber liegenden Enden werden auf das zu tarnende Gerät gestellt bzw. auf diesem Gerät befestigt. Bei elastisch verformbaren Armen sind dabei die dem Verbindungskörper gegenüberliegenden Enden durch Seile miteinander verbunden. Die Handhabung dieser Vorrichtungen ist etwas schwierig und es bedarf einiger Übung, die Vorrichtungen zweckentsprechend aufzustellen.In the, e.g. devices known from PCT / AT91 / 00099 one end of the elastically or plastically deformable arms on one Fastened connecting body and the other, the connecting body opposite ends are placed on the device to be camouflaged or attached to this device. With elastically deformable arms the ends opposite the connecting body by ropes connected with each other. The handling of these devices is something difficult and it takes some practice, the devices to set up appropriately.

Aus der FR-A-2 299 614 ist eine Tarnvorrichtung mit in eine Transportstellung zusammenklappbaren Armen bekannt, bei der die Tragarme fächerartig um an einem Träger angeordnete vertikale Achsen auf- und zusammenklappbar sind, wobei mehrere Träger mit zugeordneten Tragarmen in einer oder mehreren Ebenen angeordnet sind. Die Tragarme sind dabei starre Stangen, was deren Handhabung erschwert und auch die Tarnwirkung verschlechtert.From FR-A-2 299 614 a camouflage device is included in one Folding arms known transport position, in which the Support arms fan-like around vertical axes arranged on a support can be opened and folded, several carriers with assigned Support arms are arranged in one or more levels. The support arms are rigid rods, which complicates their handling and also the Camouflage deteriorated.

Eine aus der US-A-5 249 591 bekannte Tarnvorrichtung besitzt an einem Ständer angelenkte, durch Gelenke miteinander verbundene Armteile. Auch diese bekannte Vorrichtung ist schwierig zu handhaben.A camouflage device known from US-A-5 249 591 has a stand articulated arm parts connected by joints. This known device is also difficult to handle.

Die Erfindung hat es sich daher zum Ziel gesetzt, eine Vorrichtung zur Tarnung militärischer Geräte so auszubilden, daß deren Handhabung vereinfacht und deren Wirkung verbessert wird.The invention therefore has set itself the goal of a device to train camouflage military equipment so that their handling simplified and their impact is improved.

Ausgegangen wird dabei von einer Vorrichtung zur Tarnung militärischer Geräte gemäß FR-A-2 299 614 oder US-A-5 249 591, bestehend aus einem mehrere Tragarme aufweisenden Gestell, das ein Tarnnetz od. dgl. trägt, wobei ein Ende mindestens einiger Tragarme an einem Verbindungskörper befestigt ist, welcher von einer Nichtgebrauchsstellung, in der die Tragarme im wesentlichen parallel zueinander auf dem Gerät liegen, um mindestens eine zum Gerät weisende Achse in eine Gebrauchsstellung schwenkbar ist, in der die nach verschiedenen Richtungen weisenden Tragarme mit dem auf ihnen angeordneten Tarnnetz od. dgl. das zu tarnende Gerät wenigstens teilweise überdecken.The starting point is a camouflage device military equipment according to FR-A-2 299 614 or US-A-5 249 591, consisting of one with several support arms Frame that carries a camouflage net or the like, with one end of at least some Support arms is attached to a connecting body, which of a Non-use position, in which the support arms are essentially parallel to each other on the device, at least one facing the device Axis is pivotable into a position of use, in which the support arms pointing in different directions with the one on them arranged camouflage net or the like. The device to be camouflaged at least partially cover up.

Bei einer Ausführungsform wird das der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Ziel dadurch erreicht, daß die Tragarme flexibel, insbes. elastisch oder plastisch verformbar ausgebildet sind und daß der Verbindungskörper aus mehreren, nach Art von Kettengliedern miteinander verbundenen Tragteilen für je mindestens einen Tragarm besteht.In one embodiment, the basis of the invention Objective achieved in that the support arms are flexible, in particular elastic or are formed plastically deformable and that the connecting body several supporting parts connected to one another in the manner of chain links for at least one arm each.

Bei einer zweiten, die gleiche Aufgabe lösenden Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die Tragarme flexibel, insbes. elastisch oder plastisch verformbar ausgebildet, und die Tragarme sind am Verbindungskörper oder den Tragteilen um zweite Achsen schwenkbar, die zum Gerät weisen und am Verbindungskörper oder den Tragteilen sichelförmig angeordnet sind.In a second embodiment of the Invention, the support arms are flexible, in particular. Elastic or plastic deformable, and the support arms are on the connecting body or the supporting parts can be pivoted about second axes which point towards the device and are arranged in a crescent shape on the connecting body or the supporting parts.

Eine, die Einsatzmöglichkeiten einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung vergrößernde Ausführungsform zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß die schwenkbare Lagerung des Verbindungskörpers oder der Tragteile an einem Tragstück erfolgt, das an dem zu tarnenden Gerät hochschwenkbar gelagert ist. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Tragstück um eine quer zur Schwenkachse des Verbindungskörpers oder der Tragteile verlaufende Achse schwenkbar ist.One, the possible uses of a device according to the invention Enlarging embodiment is characterized in that the pivotable mounting of the connecting body or the support parts on one Carrier piece takes place, which is pivotally mounted on the device to be camouflaged is. It is advantageous if the support piece to a transverse to Pivot axis of the connecting body or the supporting parts extending Axis is pivotable.

Eine Möglichkeit, eine erhöhte Anpassungsfähigkeit einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zu erreichen, besteht darin, daß die Tragarme im Verbindungskörper bzw. in dessen Tragteilen schwenkbar gelagert sind. Der Schwenkwinkel kann dabei ein- und feststellbar sein.One way of increasing the adaptability of an inventive To achieve the device is that the support arms in Connection body or in its supporting parts are pivotally mounted.

Auf einem in Fig. 1 schematisch dargestellten Kraftfahrzeug G ist vorne und hinten je eine erfindungsgemäße Tarnvorrichtung angeordnet, deren Ausbildung klarer aus den Fig. 2 bis 5 hervorgeht.On a motor vehicle G shown schematically in FIG. 1 a camouflage device according to the invention is arranged at the front and rear, the formation of which is clearer from FIGS. 2 to 5.

Demnach sind Tragarme 1, die flexibel ausgebildet sind, insbesondere elastisch oder plastisch verformbar sein können, einzeln an je einem Tragteil 2 befestigt. Die Tragteile 2, die zusammen den Verbindungskörper bilden, sind nach Art von Kettengliedern mittels Achsen A schwenkbar miteinander verbunden, sodaß sie aus der in den Fig. 1 und 2 mit strichlierten Linien gezeichneten Nichtgebrauchsstellung in eine mit vollen Linien gezeichnete Gebrauchsstellung verschwenkt werden können. In der Nichtgebrauchsstellung liegen sie parallel zueinander auf dem Dach des zu tarnenden Gerätes, im Beispiel eines Kraftfahrzeuges G. In der Gebrauchsstellung überdecken sie schirmartig wesentliche Teile des Gerätes G. Die den Tragteilen 2 gegenüber liegenden Enden der Tragarme 1 können dabei am Boden aufstehen. Sie können aber auch in der Luft bleiben.Accordingly, support arms 1 that are flexible, in particular can be elastically or plastically deformable, individually on one Support part 2 attached. The support parts 2, which together form the connecting body form, are pivotable in the manner of chain links by means of axes A. connected to each other so that they from the in Figs. 1 and 2 with dashed lines drawn non-use position in a full Lines drawn use position can be pivoted. In the When not in use, they are parallel to each other on the roof of the camouflaging device, in the example of a motor vehicle G. In the In the position of use, they cover the essential parts of the device like an umbrella G. The ends of the support arms 1 opposite the support parts 2 can stand up on the floor. You can also stay in the air.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist, ist der erste Tragteil 2' an einem Arm 3 gelagert, der teleskopartig ausfahrbar ist. Das Ausfahren kann dabei z.B. von Hand aus oder über Hydraulikzylinder oder eine Spindel erfolgen. Ein Rohr 4, in das der Arm 3 eingeschoben werden kann, bzw. ein Hydraulikzylinder oder Spindelträger 4 ist über ein Montagegestell an dem zu tarnenden Gerät G befestigt.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 2, the first support part 2 ' mounted on an arm 3 which can be extended telescopically. Extending can e.g. by hand or using hydraulic cylinders or a Spindle. A tube 4 into which the arm 3 can be inserted or a hydraulic cylinder or spindle carrier 4 is on a mounting frame attached to the device to be camouflaged G.

Aus den Fig. 3 und 4 ist ersichtlich, daß der erste Tragteil 2' an einem Tragstück 5 befestigt ist, das schwenkbar am Arm 3 bzw einer Halterung 6 gelagert ist. In der Nichtgebrauchstellung können daher alle Tragarme 1 nach unten geschwenkt werden (Fig. 3) um in der Gebrauchstellung (Fig. 4) nach oben geschwenkt zu werden.3 and 4 it can be seen that the first support part 2 ' a support piece 5 is attached, which is pivotable on the arm 3 or one Bracket 6 is mounted. In the non-use position, everyone can Support arms 1 are pivoted downward (Fig. 3) in the Use position (Fig. 4) to be pivoted upwards.

Die Halterung 6 kann überdies, wie aus Fig. 5 ersichtlich ist, um eine Achse 7, die quer zur Schwenkachse der Tragteile 2 verläuft, schwenkbar sein. Dadurch können die Verstellmöglichkeiten einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung noch mehr erweitert werden.The bracket 6 can also, as can be seen from Fig. 5, by a Axis 7, which extends transversely to the pivot axis of the support parts 2, pivotable be. This allows the adjustment options of an inventive Device can be expanded even more.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 6 sind zwei Tragteile 10 vorgesehen, die sichelförmig ausgebildet und über eine Achse A gegeneinander schwenkbar miteinander verbunden sind. Die Tragarme 1 sind in den Tragteilen 10 schwenkbar gelagert. Es ergibt sich eine Wirkungsweise dieser Vorrichtung gleich oder zumindest ähnlich der Wirkungsweise der anhand der Fig. 1 bis 5 beschriebenen Vorrichtung. Es kommt dabei nicht auf die sichelförmige Ausbildung der Tragteile 10, sondern auf die sichelförmige Anordnung der Schwenkachsen der Tragarme 1 an. Die Tragteile 10 selbst könnten z.B. auch eine dreieckförmige oder auch eine andere Gestalt haben.6 are two supporting parts 10 provided that is crescent-shaped and about an axis A are pivotally connected to each other. The support arms 1 are pivotally mounted in the support members 10. There is one Operation of this device the same or at least similar to that Operation of the device described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. It does not come to the crescent-shaped design of the support parts 10, but on the crescent-shaped arrangement of the pivot axes of the support arms 1 on. The support members 10 themselves could e.g. also a triangular or also have a different shape.

Gemäß Fig. 7 sind die Tragarme 1 an den Tragteilen 2 starr befestigt. Es ist aber nach Fig. 8 möglich und in vielen Fällen auch zweckmäßig, diese Tragarme 1 schwenkbar in den Tragteilen 2 zu lagern. Dadurch können sich die Tragarme 1 selbsttätig einstellen bzw. können sie sich in Gebrauchsstellung auch bewegen.7, the support arms 1 are rigidly attached to the support members 2. However, it is possible according to FIG. 8 and in many cases also expedient to do so Support arms 1 pivotally in the support parts 2. This allows you to the support arms 1 adjust themselves or they can be in the use position also move.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 9 sind die Tragarme 1 in den Tragteilen 2 auch schwenkbar, aber mittels Schrauben 11 feststellbar bzw. einstellbar gelagert.9, the support arms 1 in the Support parts 2 can also be pivoted, but can be locked by means of screws 11 or adjustable.

Die Tarnvorrichtung gemäß der Fig. 10 weist nur einen sichelförmigen Verbindungskörper 12 auf, in dem die Tragarme 1 um Achsen 13 schwenkbar gelagert sind. Der Verbindungskörper 12 ist um eine Achse A am Arm 3 schwenkbar gelagert. Auch bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel liegen die Tragarme 1 in der Nichtgebrauchsstellung (in Fig. 10 mit 12' bezeichnet) annähernd parallel zueinander auf dem zu tarnenden Gerät. In der Gebrauchsstellung können die Arme 1 mit dem auf ihnen befestigten Tarnnetz das Gerät wenigstens teilweise umhüllen.The camouflage device according to FIG. 10 has only one crescent-shaped connecting body 12 in which the support arms 1 around Axes 13 are pivotally mounted. The connecting body 12 is one Axis A pivoted on arm 3. Also in this embodiment the support arms 1 are in the non-use position (in 10 with 12 ') approximately parallel to each other on the camouflaging device. In the use position, the arms 1 with the attached camouflage net at least partially envelop the device.

Zur Verminderung der Transportlänge können entsprechend Fig. 11 die Tragarme 1 über ein Doppelgelenk, das einen Zwischenteil 14 besitzt, zusammenklappbar sein. Das Doppelgelenk hat den Vorteil, daß das Tarnnetz zwischen den geklappten Tragarmteilen 1' und 1" Platz findet.To reduce the transport length, according to FIG. 11 the support arms 1 via a double joint which has an intermediate part 14, be collapsible. The double joint has the advantage that Camouflage net between the folded arm parts 1 'and 1 "place.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung sind zahlreiche Abänderungen möglich. So könnten die Tragarme auch teleskopartig verkürzbar sein. Es wäre ferner die Anordnung von mehr als zwei Sicheln möglich. Eine Verschwenkung der Verbindungskörper könnte mechanisch, elektrisch oder hydraulisch, im einfachsten Fall manuell erfolgen.Numerous modifications are possible within the scope of the invention. So the support arms could also be shortened telescopically. It would be further the arrangement of more than two sickles possible. A pivoting of the Connection body could be mechanical, electrical or hydraulic, in simplest case done manually.
