  • Patent number: 4517230
    Abstract: An artificial leaf for camouflaging a hunter's clothing and equipment by providing a three dimensional effect to destroy his silhouette and making him less visible and suspicious to game. A piece of polyester fabric material is formed into the shape of a leaf and a stem of monofilament nylon is attached to the simulated leaf by seamtape. A plurality of the artificial leaves are permanently attached to a strip of separable fastening material. Another strip of separable fastening material is permanently attached to the hunter's clothing or equipment for removably attaching the other strip of fastening material thereto. The leaf stems have memory and are bent so that the leaves extend outwardly from the hunter or equipment to provide the three dimensional camouflage effect thereto.
