The present flying machine is intended to be used for exercise of free flight for humans and both the soaring flight without flapping wings as well as the rudder wing with moving wings.

The apparatus ordered from a slightly curved surface made of a wooden frame is made with Sloff covering.

In the drawing, Fig. 1 shows the apparatus seen from above, Figs. 2, 3 and 4 are the respectively. Cuts AB, CD, EF. Fig. 5 shows the apparatus in collapsed form, Fig. 6 with wings moved by machine and human power, Fig. 7 shows a wing, the upper end of which is divided into smaller sections. Fig. 8 is the section according to GH during wing impact and Fig. 9 during precipitation.

The construction of the apparatus is as follows: two pieces of wood a forming an acute-angled cross carried at their upper ends b pockets d made by two little boards. In these, the wooden FlUgelrippen e are rotatably mounted. A cord f leading around the tips of the ribs and a wire g which is attached to the first wing rib and hooked to the bracket / 1 tension these ribs in the horizontal direction. The ribs are tensioned downwards by wires i. the k of the points thereof to the lowermost ends of the cross wood c a lead; so that an inverted truss is formed. The cushions / are attached between the cross timbers a. On Erdem are connected to the cross wood of the strap in the pockets h q d by nailing and gluing, as well as the rods m firmly connected to the latter of which again forwards the crossbar η with the rods ο and rear two diverging rods are fixed ρ. The tail q is rotatably attached to the latter, in such a way that it can open freely upwards, but finds a support point on the fixed rudder r downwards. This attachment of the tail is necessary so that, when the apparatus is used as a parachute, it cannot have a load-bearing effect, and so that the apparatus is prevented from tipping over forwards. The rudder r, which is used to automatically adjust the device against the wind when jumping, is also releasably attached to the rods m and the bracket Λ. The areas of the apparatus covered with fabric are hatched in half of FIG.

To use the apparatus one brings the forearms between the cushions attached to the cross wood a, Fig. 3, and grasps the cross wood n with the dogs, so that one can very comfortably without changing the upright posture, both when starting up Can carry and adjust the device, as well as while flying in the device hanging by appropriate movement of the body (shifting the body's center of gravity) can keep the device in balance and steer. Since the legs are always hanging freely downwards, the landing can also be achieved safely by putting on the feet.

The assembly of the apparatus is effected by pulling the front tensioning wires g

unhooks from the bracket Λ, turn the ribs backwards around their pins in the pockets d and hook the tensioning straps into the eyelets on the rods m. The apparatus then forms a solid whole again. In order to flip the wings up and down in an apparatus, the tensioning wires / are not attached to the fixed points c, but to the end points of the levers, so that both wings can be pulled down resiliently by pulling these levers together. The movement can be brought about either by the person flying with the apparatus or by a special machine; in Fig. 6 the left side shows the movement of the wings by human power, by putting the feet in slipper-like leather, and so by putting on and outside the Legs causing the movement. The right-hand side, on the other hand, illustrates the movement through a special machine, from the piston rod of which two chains running over rollers lead to the levers. The wing upstroke occurs through the suspension of the wing ribs and the air pressure acting from below. Figures 5 and 6 illustrate this arrangement. So that the up and down moving part of the wing can open and close like a valve, the end of the wing is divided as shown in FIG. The fabric covering is kept in the appropriate shape by means of small transverse ribs t. The ribs t are attached to the ribs e in such a way that they protrude little to the front and a lot to the rear, so that the larger area of the individual wing parts lying behind is moved up and down by the air pressure itself and on the impact according to Figs when precipitation according to FIG. 9 occurs. Sponsorship τ claims: 1. A flying machine, whose wing ribs fee ...) with the aim of taking up the forearms ■ of the flying crossed wing rib girders (bb) are connected by wires (i) in such a way that an inverted hanging. plant is formed, wherein the wing ribs (ee... ) can be set up collapsible. 2. On the flying machine marked under 1. a fixed, the setting the same vertical rudder and a horizontal rudder acting in the direction of the wind, which can swing upwards under the pressure of the air to cause a roll over to prevent the apparatus. , 3. An embodiment of the flying machine identified under 1. and 2., in which a movement of the wings takes place; that between the lower ends (c) of the cross structure (bb) and the tensioning wires (i) ¥ iebe \ (s) engaging the wing tips are inserted, which at the cross. scaffold are attached rotatably and are moved by machine or human power. 4. An embodiment of the under 3. marked flying machine, in which the iiufsere FlUgeltheil is divided into individual valve flaps acting like a wing, which is smaller with the aid of transverse ribs t fixed to the main ribs, and their location in front of the main ribs surfaces are narrower than the behind the main ribs located. 1 sheet of drawings.
