Camouflage cover apparatus

Abstract

A portable camouflage apparatus, comprising a frame and covering, where the frame is supported on a person's shoulders. The apparatus is secured preferably using straps that go under the armpits, and secure at both ends to the frame, so that the straps pull the frame against the tops of the shoulders. Pads may be used on the frame to cushion the shoulders, and to assist in moving the apparatus during typical shoulder movement associated with aiming a rifle or bow. Shoulder stabilizers may be used, which press against the front chest and back of the person supporting the frame. These stabilizers may be adjustable as to shape, angle or rotation. Use of this apparatus allows the wearer to turn their head, while wearing the apparatus, without causing movement of the frame or covering.

1 . A camouflage cover, having a frame that allows a desired cover to be fitted over the frame; where the frame comprises:
 a. two vertical support frame means, each having a base bar, with each end of the base bar connected to a vertical member, where the vertical members are attached to cross supports, where said vertical support frames are separated from each other by the cross supports;   b. a means to secure the frame to a person when in use.   
   
   
       2 . A camouflage cover, having a frame that allows a desired cover to be fitted over the frame, as recited in  claim 1 ; where the rotatable means comprises base bars that are rotatably connected to the vertical members, using L-shaped members that are connected to each of the ends of the base bar, and to one of the ends of the vertical members. 
   
   
       3 . A camouflage cover, having a frame that allows a desired cover to be fitted over the frame, as recited in  claim 1 ; vertical members comprise both vertical members rotatably attached to the base bars, and an extension attached to the top end of the vertical member, where said extension top end is rotatably attached to a cross support. 
   
   
       4 . A camouflage cover, having a frame that allows a desired cover to be fitted over the frame, as recited in  claim 1 ; where side support members are connected at each end to a vertical members, which rigidly hold the vertical members apart from each other. 
   
   
       5 . A camouflage cover, having a frame that allows a desired cover to be fitted over the frame, as recited in  claim 1 ; where the means to secure the frame to a person when in use comprises a strap, that is connected to the frame, where said straps encircle the wearer's arms and pull the frame against the top of the shoulders of the person when in use. 
   
   
       6 . A camouflage cover, having a frame that allows a desired cover to be fitted over the frame, as recited in  claim 1 ; where the base bar defines a pad on the underside of the base bar, as a cushion between the base bar and the shoulder of a person when in use. 
   
   
       7 . A camouflage cover, having a frame that allows a desired cover to be fitted over the frame, as recited in  claim 1 ; in which the means to secure the frame to a person when in use comprises shoulder stabilizer members. 
   
   
       8 . A camouflage cover, having a frame that allows a desired cover to be fitted over the frame, as recited in  claim 1 ; in which the means to secure the frame to a person when in use comprises a pad on the bottom side of the base bar, a strap means, and shoulder stabilizer members. 
   
   
       9 . A camouflage cover, having a frame that allows a desired cover to be fitted over the frame, as recited in  claim 1 ; in which the rotatable attachment means comprises T-shaped members. 
   
   
       10 . A camouflage cover, having a frame that allows a desired cover to be fitted over the frame, as recited in  claim 1 ; in which the rotatable attachment means comprises L-shaped members. 
   
   
       11 . A camouflage cover, having a frame that allows a desired cover to be fitted over the frame; as recited in  claim 1 , where the frame is constructed out of pvc tubing. 
   
   
       12 . A camouflage cover, having a frame that allows a desired cover to be fitted over the frame; where the frame comprises two vertical support means, attached to each other by two cross supports, and where the vertical support means are rotatable in relation to the cross support, so as to allow the framework to collapse for storage purposes. 
   
   
       13 . A camouflage cover, having a frame that allows a desired cover to be fitted over the frame, and where said frame is collapsible, comprising:
 a. two vertical support frame means, each having a base bar, with each end of the base bar rotatably connected to a vertical member, where the vertical members are rotatably attached to cross supports, where said vertical support frames are separated from each other by the cross supports;   b. a means to secure the frame to a person when in use, comprising a pair of straps, where each strap is attached at one end to a respective base bar, and the other end to a bottom part of the frame, where said straps are able to pass through the arm pit areas of the wearer, and where said straps provide a downward force on the frame and base bars, so as to press the base bars onto the person's shoulders, and where shoulder stabilizer members are defined in relation to the base bars, so as to descend downward, where one shoulder stabilizer member impacts against the person's front upper chest and shoulder area, with the other shoulder stabilizer member impacting against the person's upper back and shoulder area.
