Patent number: 5753323Abstract: A camouflage pattern for use on clothing and other articles for concealing a hunter or outdoorsman in a forest undergrowth comprised primarily of fan-shaped palmetto palm plants. The pattern is comprised of a background of varying shades of gray overlaid by successive patterns of plants having extending, long, flat, fan-shaped, pointed, finger-like medium green foliage so as to depict fan-shaped palmetto palm plants intermittently interspersed with plants having downwardly bent, long, flat, fan-shaped, pointed, finger-like brown foliage. The plants of each successive pattern being smaller than those of the preceding pattern and having a slightly lighter shade of green foliage than that of the preceding pattern.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 1996Date of Patent: May 19, 1998Inventor: Chris Wayne Andrus
