Description

Invisibility cloak for the optical camouflage of persons and objects indoors and outdoors.

The invisibility cloak described here is used for the optical camouflage of persons and objects indoors and outdoors.

Indoor or outdoor optical camouflage is currently routinely achieved through the use of printed and / or color-matched pull-on, over-stretch or over-grip materials which are visually adapted to the environment or background of the particular space.

The currently existing and used camouflage systems follow the principle of disguising the respective contours of the object to be camouflaged in order to make optical recognition more difficult for the observer. Here, there is the problem that there is no sufficient automatic adaptation to the respective environment in the case of moving persons or objects to be camouflaged. Rather, the camouflage must be replaced, for example, a suitably patterned uniform. Also, the conventional camouflage, especially for an urban environment with a variety of different color spectrums in a relatively small space, therefore only partially suitable. Other attempts at camouflage are being made in the field of nanotechnology. Here an attempt is made, by means of a suitable surface treatment, the light emitted in the context of a reflection for image generation, to pass around the particles to be camouflaged, in order to render them virtually invisible. However, for the time being, this technology is not yet able to camouflage even small objects, for example the size of a penny piece, or even to make people invisible.

However, the respective camouflage must always be adapted to the respective environment or background, which is done regularly by replacing the pull-on, over-stretch or overstretchable materials.

This problem is solved with the features listed in the protection claim 1.

With the invention it is achieved that the respective contours of the object to be camouflaged in order to make a visual recognition significantly more difficult for the observer, without the material used for camouflage, the Invisibility Cloak, must be replaced.

Moreover, the degree of fogging is greatly improved by the visually-optical surface conformance in the invisibility cloak, which is far superior to conventional camouflage. Here, the invention nourishes the above-described goal of nanotechnology, which attempts to make objects almost invisible to the observer. In contrast to the nanotechnological approach described, however, the present invention also makes it possible to camouflage larger objects, such as wheeled or tracked vehicles and even persons, almost to invisibility.

The Invisibility Cloak consists of:

• 1. a connected by plastic cable and / or lighting film LED light fabric with viewing slot in which a commercial, equipped with distance and position determiner remote viewing device is integrated (front);
• 2. flexible, adjustable and lashable straps with a fastening for the passage of data transmission cables (top, bottom, side parts);
• 3. a network structure made of synthetic fiber and wire, on which several small optics / cameras, a small computer and a battery / rechargeable battery, are clamped (rear part).

Claims (1)

Flexible cover consisting of plastic cable and / or luminescent foil consisting of LED luminous cloth of variable size (1) with viewing slot in which a remote viewing device equipped with distance and position determiner is integrated (2), on its sides (top, bottom, right, left) flexible straps are mounted, which can be stretched around the object to be camouflaged (3) and connect the front to the rear, which has a synthetic fiber and wire network structure, at the several small optics / cameras, a small computer and a battery / battery, clamped are (4). characterized in that: 1. its (1) LED luminaires can be individually controlled for color emission and thereby, in their entirety, emit on the LED luminaire fabric an image which is sharply perceptible to the human eye, stationary or moving image, and characterized in that the vision device (2) integrated in the viewing slit can be directed to the starting point of the visual axis of the observer against whom the object is to be camouflaged and thereby to calculate the position of the observer, as well as its visual axis on the object to be camouflaged and its prolonged Viewing axis can be calculated on the space behind the object to be camouflaged, and characterized in that said LED lighting fabric is provided with flexible, adjustable straps (3) which are attached to the side, top and bottom ends of the LED lighting fabric and which carry data transmission cables. These allow the Invisibility Cloak to be clamped around an object to be camouflaged. In addition, connect and network, the cable-carrying straps, provided with LED lights part of the invisibility cloak, provided with a synthetic fiber and wire mesh structure, which spans the back of the object to be camouflaged and which according to their dimensions, the LED light fabric almost equal, 4. network structure made of synthetic fiber and wire (4), characterized in that these with a plurality of optics / or. Cameras, a small computer, as well as a battery / battery for powering the cameras, the small computer and the LED lights, which are all also interconnected by cables, which are fixed to the fixed parts of the network structure by clamping. The small computer calculates the observer's position data transmitted to it by the remote viewing device (2) and then calculates its visual axis on the object to be camouflaged and aligns the optics / cameras in accordance with this visual axis. This then transmits the captured image or images of the space behind the object to be camouflaged to the minicomputer, which, while calculating the depth of the object to be camouflaged, further transmits those images to the LED luminaire fabric. The visual axis of the observer is extended in this way, even with a mobile observer and object to be camouflaged in its visual-optical perception, as long as the remote viewing device is directed to the starting point of the visual axis of the observer. An image of the space behind the object to be camouflaged is projected onto the front of the Invisibility Cloak. This gives the observer the impression that the object, which is not interrupted by the object to be camouflaged and the invisibility cloak itself, that is to say it is therefore extended, lies on the space behind the object to be camouflaged and the Invisibility Cloak. The visual axis of the observer, which is in fact interrupted by the object to be camouflaged and the Invisibility Cloak, is bridged by the image transmission, the optics / cameras aligned with the visual axis of the observer and their projection onto the LED luminaire fabric, and thereby perceived as prolonged by the observer. The object to be camouflaged and the Invisibility Cloak are almost imperceptible. On the front of the Invisibility Cloak, the respective image of the space behind the object to be camouflaged and the Invisibility Cloak is projected. Consequently, the object behind the Invisibility Cloak is disguised. The entire Invisibility Cloak is wearable. Due to its flexible structure, it adapts to the shape of the object to be camouflaged, in particular that of a human body. It is especially designed to camouflage a person behind the light fabric of the Invisibility Cloak. The invisibility cloak is self-sufficient by the battery / accumulator. This ensures the power supply of the LED lights, the remote viewing device, the small computer and the optics / cameras. The Invisibility Cloak, as a device, is capable of autonomous or controlled over a longer period of time, seemingly prolonging the visual axis of the observer and camouflaging the spanned object. The scope of the Invisibility Cloak is mainly in the security field, for example, to disguise security officers from armed observers, which one must approach for the elimination of hazards, without being recognized immediately. Thus, the present invention enhances the security of the public and the security officers themselves. In addition, mankind's endeavors to camouflage objects, in particular those in the field of vision, and / or make them virtually invisible have existed since ancient times.
