ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for developing an improved camouflaged product comprising of an open mesh, net substrate to which is bonded a sheet material. This sheet is colored in the desired pattern and bonded to a substrate along spaced lines of attachment between adjacent lines of bonding to the net substrate. In this formation, indefinite length webs of the net substrate and a continuous sheet may be combined in faced relation and stitch-bonded along spaced parallel continuous lines to form continuous parallel channels or pockets along the length of the composite material. The composite net and sheet material is passed to a cutting machine having a plurality of generally U-shaped guide members that separate and space the net substrate from the sheet. As the composite moves through the guide members, a plurality of spaced heated air cutters to reside and reciprocate slightly above the sheet to cut a generally sinuous path between the lines of the stitches. Separate lobes are formed on each side of the lines of stitching to simulate the appearance of natural objects of the terrain such as leaves or foliage and then are heated to over 400 degrees Fahrenheit to wrinkle and deluster the camouflage lobes thereby significantly enhancing camouflaged properties, such as creating a wrinkled three-dimensional effect and significantly decreasing luster.
