CAMOUFLAGE COVERING WITH VARIABLE CAPACITY AND VALVE TO FILL IT UP AND PUMP IT OUT ( VARIANTS ) Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: camouflage coverings having protective, deforming or simulating double-sided or single-sided summer or winter painting. SUBSTANCE: proposed camouflage covering can be employed for manufacture of unified fabric panels to form in the field coverings of various sizes and forms efficient in visible, infrared and radar ranges of electromagnetic waves. Realization of invention ensures rise of operational properties of covering by way of decrease of intensity of echo signals of radar waves and electromagnetic radiation from camouflaged object in infrared wave range with due account of transportation volumes of covering thanks to injection into it of materials active to electromagnetic radiation to secure computed thickness of covering and fast reduction of volume of covering before it is folded for transportation and storage. Substance of invention lies in that covering has panels with protective paint and members joining these panels over their edges. Members joining panels are fast-opening members which are fixed with the use of cord or cotter pins. Each panel is produced from radioparent material and includes sealed space which is filled up with radio absorbing and radio reflecting materials placed chaotically or in the form of such elements as perpendicular fibers, layers, tongues, reflectors, plates, foam. Each space is fitted with safety valve and valve to inflate space and pump it out.. Structural design of valve ensures air pumping in and out of space of covering. EFFECT: improved functional characteristics of camouflage covering. 17 cl, 29 dwg, 2 tbl
