Method and assembly for camouflaging at least one building

DETAILED DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTS One object of the present invention is to provide an uncomplicated, economical and reliable technique (both method and assembly) for camouflaging a building, especially an airplane hangar.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a camouflage technique which takes into account seasonal changes.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a camouflage technique which is compatible with an airplane hangar designed to allow the airplane to initially take off from within the hangar.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a camouflage technique particularly suitable for a jet hangar designed to allow a jet to initially take off from within the hangar without making the hangar an obvious target for infrared detection devices.
In accordance with one technique to be described in detail hereinafter, an elongated support bar of nonlinear configuration is utilized, one which is also nonsymmetrical in a preferred embodiment.
As stated previously, this support bar is fixedly held in place along the length of and to one side of the given area to be camouflaged and is provided for supporting a sheet-like means, preferably a net, having a topside including artificial garnish supported thereon and a bottomside.
This sheet-like means includes one edge which conforms to the configuration of the support bar and which is attached thereto.
The sheet-like means extends over the surface to be camouflaged with its top garnish supporting side exposed to the surroundings.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as will be seen, at least two buildings in the same climatic area are camouflaged, each utilizing its own nonlinear, non-symmetric support bar which is the mirror image in configuration of the other.
Moreover, each sheet-like means includes artificial garnish on its bottomside which is different in appearance than the garnish on the topside.
More specifically, the garnish on the topside of each sheet-like means provides a particular appearance which blends with the surroundings during one season while the garnish on the bottomside provides a particular appearance which blends with the surroundings during another season
