Description
RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] The present application is related to U.S. Provisional
Application No. 60/446,801 (filed Feb. 12, 2003), the contents of
which are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention relates to one or more patterns or
designs (particularly camouflage patterns) and to any article
comprising one or more of such patterns or designs. Such patterns
comprise one or more images of any animal or part thereof. The
patterns of the invention may comprise one or more of the same or
different images of a particular animal and/or part thereof. Thus,
the inventions may comprise multiple images (which may be the same
or different images) of a particular animal, and/or multiple images
(which may be the same or different images) of the same or
different parts of a particular animal. The pattern of the
invention may also comprise one or more images of a number of
different animals and/or parts thereof and such images may be the
same or different. Thus, the pattern of the invention may comprise
combinations of different images of different animals and/or
combinations of different images from different parts of different
animals. In accordance with the invention, the images do not need
to be an identical reproduction of the animal or part thereof and
thus may be only a likeness of the animal or part thereof. The
invention thus allows the use of various animal images to develop a
variety of different patterns (preferably camouflage patterns),
each of which may have different combinations of designs and/or
colors depending on the choice and positioning of the images. The
invention thus allows the design of a multitude of patterns
(including camouflage patterns) to suit any need.
[0003] In addition to the animal images, the pattern may also
comprise one or more images of one or more of the same or different
plants and/or parts thereof. Accordingly, the pattern of the
invention may include a number of images of both plants and animals
(and/or parts thereof). The invention thus allows the use of
various animal and plant images to develop a variety of different
patterns (preferably camouflage patterns). Each such pattern may
have different combinations of designs and/or colors depending on
the choice and positioning of the images.
[0004] Images used according to the invention may be derived from
any animal (or part thereof) including an insect, such as a moth, a
fly (particularly the type of flies used for fly fishing such as a
caddis fly and a stone fly), a caterpillar, a butterfly, a spider,
a snail, a slug, a scorpion, a bee, a wasp, a hornet, a dragonfly,
a millipede, a centipede, a worm, a woodlice, a flea, a termite, an
ant, a stick bug, a grasshopper, a cricket, a beetle, a praying
mantis, a roach or any other known insect. Insects that may be
later identified in nature may also be used in accordance with the
invention. Although any insect may be used, those that have
pattern(s) that help conceal them in nature are preferable,
particularly in developing or designing a camouflage pattern of the
invention. Flying insects are also preferred according to the
invention. Illustrative examples of insects for use in the
invention may be found in a number of references and books such as
"Insects" by Clarence Cottam, et. al.; "Spiders and Their Kin" by

in their entirety by reference. In one aspect, the pattern of the
invention does not include images from one or more of the
specifically mentioned insects (above) and in another aspect it
does not include any insect image.
[0005] Other animals include a bird, known or later identified,
such as a road runner, a duck, a goose, a chucker, a sand piper, a
quail, a pheasant, a humming bird and the like. Illustrative
examples of birds for use in the invention may be found in a number
of references and books such as "Birds of North America,
Smithsonian Handbooks" by Fred Alsop; "The Eternity Code (Artemis
Fowl, Book 3)" by Eoin Colfer; and "Birds" by Ira N. Gabrielson;
all of which are incorporated herein in their entirety by
reference. In one aspect, the pattern of the invention does not
include images from one or more of the specifically mentioned birds
(above) and in another aspect it does not include any bird
image.
[0006] Other animals that may be used according to the invention
include a reptile, a snake, a lizard, a turtle, a frog, an
alligator, a fish, an eel and any mammal, reptile, fish and
amphibian. Illustrative examples of mammals, reptiles, fish and
amphibians for use in the invention may be found in a number of
references and books such as "Reptiles and Amphibians" by Hobart M.
Smith et. al.; "Fishes" by Hurst H. Shoemaker et. al.; "Pond Life"
by George K. Reid; and "Mammals" by Donald F. Hoffmeister et. al.;
all of which are incorporated herein in their entirety by
reference. In one aspect, the pattern of the invention does not
include images from one or more of the specifically mentioned
reptiles, fish, amphibians, snakes, frogs etc. (above) and in
another aspect it does not include any reptiles, any amphibians,
and/or any mammals.
[0007] Generally, animals that have natural colors and/or patterns
that help conceal them in nature are preferably used and one or
more images can be derived from those animals for use in the
pattern of the invention and such animal images are particularly
suited for use in making a camouflage pattern of the invention.
Preferred animal colors may include all shades and variations of
blacks, grays, blues, pinks, purples, browns, tans, whites, greens,
yellows, oranges, reds, and various combinations thereof. The
natural color of the animal may be used in developing the pattern
of the invention or different coloring or shading can be used
depending on the desired color and/or pattern.
[0008] Plants used in the invention include any known plants such
as any tree, any bush, any flower, any moss, any fern, any palm,
any shrub, any weed, any grass, any vine, and any vegetable. Any
part or parts of the plant may also be used such as the leaf, the
bark, the twig, the branch, the bud, the flower, and the stem.
Illustrative examples of trees for use in the invention may be
found in a number of references and books such as "Trees" by
Alexander C. Martin, which is incorporated herein in its entirety
by reference. Combinations of different colored plants at different
stages of their development may be used in the invention as well as
plants from different times of the season (winter, fall, spring and
summer). Preferred plant colors may include all shades and
variations of blacks, grays, blues, pinks, purples, browns, tans,
greens, yellows, reds, whites, oranges, and various combinations
thereof. The natural color of the plant may be used in developing
the pattern of the invention or different coloring or shading can
be used depending on the desired color and/or pattern. In
accordance with the invention, the images do not need to be an
identical reproduction of the plant or part thereof and thus may be
only a likeness of the plant or part thereof. In one aspect, the
pattern of the invention does not include images from one or more
of the specifically mentioned plants (above) and in another aspect
it does not include any plant image.
[0009] Other images derived from nature or man-made materials may
be used alone or in combination with other images to design the
pattern of the invention. Images of rocks, stones (granite, marble,
coal, etc.), water (streams, lakes, oceans, etc.), clouds, sky,
space, sand, dirt and the like may be used. Preferred colors of
such images may include all shades and variations of blacks, grays,
blues, pinks, purples, browns, tans, greens, yellows, reds, whites,
oranges, and various combinations thereof. The natural color of the
image may be used in developing the pattern of the invention or
different coloring or shading can be used depending on the desired
color and/or pattern. In one aspect, the pattern of the invention
does not include images from one or more of the specifically
mentioned natural or man-made materials (above) and in another
aspect it does not include any of such natural or man-made material
images.
[0010] In addition to the images used, one or a number of
background colors can be used in the pattern of the invention.
These colors can be used behind, around or near the animal and/or
plant images (or other images) to produce the desired pattern.
Varying the background can be used to change the color of the
pattern or can be used to vary or change the appearance of the
image or images used. Colors that may be used include all shades
and variations of blacks, grays, blues, pinks, purples, browns,
tans, greens, yellows, oranges, reds, whites and various shades,
and combinations thereof. These colors (and variations or
combinations thereof) may be selected depending on the desired
application and the environment in which the pattern is intended
for use.
[0011] Thus, by varying the images, designs, patterns and colors
and by utilizing different combinations thereof, any pattern can be
designed. In a preferred aspect, the invention allows the
production of camouflage patterns that will aid in concealment. By
varying the images, designs, patterns and colors and by utilizing
different combinations thereof, any camouflage pattern can be
designed for the particular environment in which it will be used.
The selection and use of one or a number of images and colors
allows preparation of a multitude of patterns (particularly
camouflage patterns) that are useful for any particular purpose or
application.
[0012] The invention thus relates to any pattern (and camouflage
and camouflage patterns) and any article comprising them. The
article comprising the pattern of the invention can be made of any
material (for example, wood, metal, plastic, rubber, paper, cloth,
or any combination thereof). The pattern of the invention may be
applied to, contacted with or be a part of any number of items or
articles including furniture (such as a stool, a chair, and a
couch), a tree stand, a hunting blind, clothing, hats, pants,
shirts, gloves, boots, dresses, belts, shorts, coats, shoes, tennis
shoes, jackets, sweat shirts, buildings, vehicles, weapons (knifes,
guns, pistols, bows, cross bows, tanks, artillery, etc.) and the
like. The pattern of the invention may cover all of the article or
may cover a portion of the article.
[0013] The invention also relates to the use of the camouflage or
camouflage pattern of the invention to assist in the concealment of
any article in any environment (for example, the outdoors). Thus,
the camouflage of the invention may be used to help conceal or hide
a person (such as a hunter or military personnel), an animal and/or
an article such as equipment, a building, a vehicle, a weapon,
clothing, and the like, in any environment. The camouflage of the
invention thus makes it more difficult to detect an article, a
person and/or an animal comprising the camouflage of the invention
in any particular environment than it is to detect the same
article, person and/or animal not comprising such camouflage
pattern. One particular comparison to test the effectiveness of the
camouflage of the invention to assist in concealment is to cover
all or a part of a first article with the camouflage of the
invention and not cover a second article (which is preferably the
same or the same type of article as the first) with that
camouflage. The second article preferably has a particular color
that may be associated with the article but preferably is a solid
color and is not covered with any pattern or camouflage. Then the
first and second articles are placed in an environment or in nature
at the same distance from a viewer (or detection means) and if the
viewer (or detection means) has more difficulty in seeing or
detecting the first article compared to the second article than the
camouflage pattern used is said to help conceal or will aid in
concealment. The invention is particularly suited for hunting and
military applications in which the invention prevents detection by
an animal and/or a person. The invention may also be useful to
prevent detection by certain detection equipment. Thus, the
invention is also directed to a method to help conceal or aid in
concealment of a person, an article and/or an animal comprising (a)
obtaining an article, a person and/or an animal comprising a
camouflage pattern of the invention, and (b) placing said article,
person and/or animal in an environment or in the outdoors.
[0014] The invention also relates to methods to make the pattern
(and camouflage or camouflage pattern) of the invention and to
methods to make the articles comprising them. Many methods may be
used to obtain one or more images from an animal (or part thereof)
and such methods can be used to obtain other images for use in the
invention. Such images can be obtained or captured by photography
(for example with a digital camera), digital imaging, scanning,
printing, painting, and drawing. The images may also be obtained or
down loaded from various web sites and pictures from the world wide
web. For example, images and pictures of various animals (including
insects) can be found by using known search sites such as
Google.com. The images may also be reproduced and/or transferred by
any means such as by copying, digitization, computer processing,
and printing. Such images can then be manipulated to create a
pattern of the desired design by combining various images and/or
colors to make a pattern of interest. Preferably, the images are
digitized (using a scanner, digitization, digital camera or by
other methods) and then the digitized images are manipulated into a
pattern by using well know software and computer systems including
for example Photoshop.TM.. The pattern of the invention may then be
transferred to any support or medium or to any article by well
known processes such as water transfer printing, Kolorfusion.TM.
printing, heat transfer printing, pigment printing and screen
printing. Thus, in one aspect, the invention relates to method of
making a pattern comprising; (a) obtaining one or more digital
images of at least one animal or portion thereof (or other image),
or digitizing one or more images of at least one animal or part
thereof (or other image), and (b) arranging said images to produce
a pattern or design. Other images may be added in the pattern such
as images from plants or parts thereof. Such method may also
include the step of covering all or a portion of the article with
the pattern. The method may also include contacting the pattern
with any article or placing the pattern on any article. In a
preferred aspect, such pattern may be used as camouflage, which
preferably aids in concealment of an article, a person and/or an
animal in any environment or in nature. The camouflage pattern
preferably comprises a plurality of images of the same or different
animals and/or parts thereof and may optionally include one or more
images of plants and/or parts thereof and/or other images.
Preferably, the animal is an insect and more preferably is a flying
insect. In one preferred aspect, the animal is a moth and/or
butterfly, and/or part thereof such as a wing or wings.
[0015] In another aspect, a method of making an article which
includes a pattern or camouflage pattern is provided which includes
the steps of: capturing an image of an animal such as a flying
animal; digitizing the captured image; transferring the digitized
image to a computer system which includes image processing
software; processing the digitized captured image with the image
processing software to provide a processed captured image; and
producing an article which bears the processed captured image, such
that the article bears a camouflage pattern.
[0016] The flying animal can be a flying insect. The flying insect
can be a moth. Preferably, the captured image can be the image of a
moth wing, and the article provides a camouflage pattern comprising
elements resembling the pattern of the moth wing.
[0017] The article which bears the pattern or camouflage pattern
can be in the form of a sheet which bears the pattern or camouflage
pattern. The sheet which bears the pattern or camouflage pattern
can be a cloth. The cloth which bears the pattern or camouflage
pattern can be fashioned into a garment, such as clothing. The
cloth which bears the pattern or camouflage pattern can be
fashioned into a hat.
[0018] In addition, the sheet which bears the pattern or camouflage
pattern can be applied to a weapon such as a rifle or an archer
bow, can be applied to eyewear, and can be applied to binoculars,
among other articles.
[0019] In accordance with another aspect of the invention, an
article is provided which includes a flying animal camouflage
pattern which is composed of elements similar to an exterior
surface of a flying animal. The flying animal camouflage pattern
can be similar to or mimic an exterior surface of an insect. The
flying animal camouflage pattern can be similar to or mimic an

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0027] With reference to the drawings, a new and improved method of
making camouflage articles embodying the principles and concepts of
the present invention will be described.
[0028] In this respect, in general, a method of making an article
which includes a camouflage pattern is provided which includes the
steps of: capturing an image of a flying animal; digitizing the
captured image; transferring the digitized image to a computer
system which includes image processing software; processing the
digitized captured image with the image processing software to
provide a processed captured image; and producing an article which
bears the processed captured image, such that the article bears a
camouflage pattern.
[0029] The flying animal can be a flying insect. The flying insect
can be a moth. Preferably, the captured image can be the image of a
moth wing, and the article provides a camouflage pattern composed
at least in part of elements resembling or mimicking the pattern of
the moth wing.
[0030] The article which bears the camouflage pattern can be in the
form of a sheet which bears the camouflage pattern. As shown in
FIG. 2, the sheet which bears the camouflage pattern can be a
cloth. The cloth which bears the camouflage pattern can be
fashioned into a garment, such as clothing 20. The cloth which
bears the camouflage pattern can be fashioned into a hat 22.
[0031] In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the sheet which bears the
camouflage pattern can be applied to a weapon 24, can be applied to
eyewear 26, and can be applied to binoculars 28, among other
articles. The sheet can be affixed to the article using an adhesive
material, by screen printing, or by other known image transfer
methods.
[0032] Among a wide variety of camouflage patterns capable of being
produced in accordance with the present invention, three specific
camouflage patterns comprising elements derived from or mimicking
moth wings are shown in FIGS. 4, 5, and 6, respectively.
[0033] In accordance with another aspect of the invention, an
article is provided which includes a flying animal camouflage
pattern comprises elements similar to an exterior surface of a
flying animal. The flying animal camouflage pattern can be similar
to or mimic an exterior surface of an insect. The flying animal
camouflage pattern can be similar to or mimic an exterior surface
of a moth. The flying animal camouflage pattern can be similar to
or mimic an exterior surface of an insect wing. Preferably, the
flying animal camouflage pattern can be similar to or mimic an
exterior surface of a moth wing.
[0034] Turning to FIG. 1, apparatus is shown for carrying out the
method of the invention. In this respect, to carry out the method
of the invention, an image of a moth wing 12, for example, is
captured by a camera 14. Preferably, the camera 14 is a
conventional digital camera so that a digitized image can be
transferred to a computer system 30 as is well understood.
Otherwise, an analog image can be scanned and digitized before
transfer to the computer system 30. The computer system 30 includes
known image processing software, and the digitized image from the
camera 14 is processed by the computer system 30 and the image
processing software to provide a processed captured image. The
processed captured image is transferred to an output device, such
as printer 16, which transfers the processed captured image to a
sheet article, such as cloth, or image transfer paper 18, such that
the article bears the processed captured image which serves as a
camouflage pattern for the article.
[0035] The processed captured image can be stored on a diskette 32
for future use or for use in another computer system and article
producing system.
[0036] A wide variety of flying animals can be used, among which
are flying insects. A wide variety of flying insects can be used,
among which are moths. Preferably, the wings of the moth are
employed for capturing images to be processed for camouflaging
articles.
