Abstract
The present invention provides an attachment system that can be used to interface between dissimilar camouflage systems and is particularly useful with ULCANS and LCSS camouflage systems. The present invention provides such compatibility while simultaneously maintaining quick disconnect capabilities with either system.
Claims12
A camouflage screen system, comprising:
- at least one interfacing modular attachment unit adapted to connect to two or more camouflage screens, the attachment unit having connectors compatible with both the ULCANS connection system and the LCSS connection system, the connectors comprising:
- a first becket loop, a second becket loop, and an additional connector unit whereby:
- said first becket loop and said second becket loop are sufficient to establish quickly releasable interlock with an opposing ULCANS compatible unit;
- said additional connector unit comprises an LCSS compatible attachment bracket;
- and
- said connector unit is sufficient to establish quickly releasable interlock with an opposing LCSS compatible unit,
- the modular attachment unit comprising an interface between an ULCANS screen module and an LCSS screen module and wherein the becket loops are disposed on one side of the modular attachment unit and the connector unit is disposed on another side of the modular attachment unit and the modular attachment unit is adapted to couple an ULCANS screen module to the becket loops disposed on the one side of the modular attachment unit and adapted to couple an LCSS screen module to the connector unit disposed on the other side of the modular attachment unit.

A camouflage screen system, comprising:
- at least one interfacing modular attachment unit having connectors simultaneously compatible with both the ULCANS connection system and the LCSS connection system, the connectors comprising:
- a first becket loop and a second becket loop shorter than the first becket loop disposed on one side of the interfacing modular attachment unit, whereby said first becket loop and said second becket loop are sufficient to establish quickly releasable interlock with an opposing ULCANS compatible unit;
- and
- an additional connector unit disposed on another side of the interfacing modular attachment unit and having at least two extensions with a recess formed therebetween and an opening formed through the extensions, the opening spaced to align with a corresponding opening in an LCSS bracket, whereby said additional connector unit comprises an LCSS, compatible attachment bracket and said connector unit is sufficient to establish quickly releasable interlock with an opposing LCSS compatible unit.
