Patent ID: 7271759

Claim:
A camouflage device for camouflaging a specularly reflecting surface of an object, said camouflage device comprising: a plurality of function elements for influencing reflection of radiation from a radiation source, which function elements collectively form a continuos outer layer of the camouflage device; wherein, each function element has a pair of individual surfaces on its side facing the radiation source; said individual surfaces extend side-by-side in a longitudinal direction; the camouflage device is arrangeable on the object in front of a reflecting surface of said object that faces said radiation source; angular arrangement of the individual surfaces in a pair of said individual surfaces is such that a surface normal of a first one of said individual surfaces in said pair is sloped downward, and a surface normal of a second one of said individual surfaces in said pair is sloped upward at an angle greater than 80° relative to a horizontal plane; and surface courses of said first and second surfaces form an angle of <90° with respect to one another.
