Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a toy representing, on a reduced scale, a paratrooper hanging on his parachute.
  • the objective of the invention is to provide toys composed of a paratrooper hanging on his parachute, which can be launched by hand, at great height, like a pebble launched with a slingshot and which fall slowly after opening of the parachute.
  • the solution to the problem posed is obtained by means of toys in the form of a parachutist hooked by lines to a parachute which have a ring which surrounds the lines and which can slide freely along them.
  • This sliding ring delimits a central orifice in which all the lines are engaged and this orifice has a cross section less than the greatest width of the parachutist's body and the thickness of the fabric of the parachute when the latter is folded, so that he is kept prisoner on the lines.
  • the sliding ring has a toroidal shape.
  • the sliding ring has the shape of a hollow half-torus which is sectioned by a median plane perpendicular to the axis of revolution of the torus and the open part of which is directed towards the parachute.
  • the paratrooper's body is weighted so that it has a high mass.
  • the body of the paratrooper is a hollow body, for example a molded plastic body, which is provided with a removable plug and which contains a heavy material, for example shot or sand.
  • the invention results in a new toy which represents, on a reduced scale, a paratrooper hanging on his parachute. This toy has the advantage of being very simple, of being able to be thrown by hand at great height and to fall slowly.
  • a toy according to the invention represents, on a reduced scale, a parachutist 1 attached to a parachute 2 by lines 3.
  • This parachute is specially designed to be launched at great height using the principle of the sling, that is to say by spinning the body of the parachutist at the end of the lines and then launching it up using the kinetic energy acquired in the rotational movement.
  • the paratrooper's body 1 which replaces the sling stone, is weighted so that its mass is high and that it stores high kinetic energy.
  • the paratrooper's body is a hollow body molded in plastic material and it has, at the upper end, a plug. removable 4, which allows pouring into the hollow body of the shot 5 or any other equivalent weighty material for example sand.
  • the essential originality of a toy according to the invention resides in the presence of a sliding ring 6 which surrounds the lines 3 of the parachute and which can slide freely thereon.
  • the ring 6 is a closed ring, preferably of circular shape, which delimits a central orifice 6a, the cross section of which is smaller than the width of the body -1 of the parachutist and smaller than the thickness of the fabric 2 of the parachute when it is folded in closed position.
  • the cross section of the space 6a is significantly greater than the thickness of the lines 3 assembled, so that the ring 6 can slide freely along the lines while keeping them together, but it is held captive between the body 1 of the parachutist and the canvas 2 of the parachute.
  • the function of the ring 6 is to prevent the opening of the fabric 2 during the upward movement of the parachute while allowing it from the start of the downward movement.
  • Figure 1 shows the toy in the launch position.
  • the child's hand 7 holds the parachute, the canvas 2 of which is folded up by the upper end of the lines and it makes the body 1 of the parachutist swirl at the other end of the lines which act as straps for a sling.
  • the hand 7 holds, for example, the ring 6 as shown in FIG. 1, but it can also directly hold the upper end of the lines slightly in front of the ring 6.
  • the child releases the toy so that the centrifugal force drives it upwards.
  • the body 1 is placed at the head and, thanks to the kinetic energy due to its mass and its speed, it drives behind it the web 2 of the parachute.
  • the ring 6 is pushed down by gravity and by the aerodynamic thrust of the air and it prevents the web of the parachute from opening, which would considerably slow down the ascent movement.
  • body 1 Once body 1 has reached the top of its trajectory, it begins to descend, dragging behind it the canvas of the parachute. Immediately the ring 6 falls by gravity by sliding along the lines and it comes to occupy the position of Figure 2.
  • the canvas of the parachute opens and the parachutist slowly descends to the ground.
  • ring is used in a general sense to designate any hollow body, open or closed, which delimits a central orifice.
  • the ring 6 can have the shape of an alliance, that is to say of an O-ring which surrounds a circular space.
  • the rounded edges of the torus facilitate the sliding of the ring along the lines.
  • FIG. 4 represents a preferred embodiment of a ring 6, which is molded in plastic material and which has a section in the form of a hollow half-torus, cut by a median plane perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the torus and the open part of which is directed towards the parachute.
  • This embodiment makes it possible to engage a large part of the fabric 2 folded inside the front half torus the launch, so that the upward movement is not slowed down.
  • this profiled shape facilitates the fall by gravity of the ring 6 when the parachute begins to descend.
  • FIG 3 shows an optional embodiment of a plug.
  • This plug has the shape of a disc 8 which is screwed onto the upper body 1 of the paratrooper or fixed to it by any other equivalent means.
  • the disc 8 carries slots at its periphery. 9 which end in holes 10 through which the lines 3, 3 ′ pass, each line leaving from the canvas 2 and returning to it.
  • the disc 8 has an external diameter smaller than the diameter of the orifice 6a of the ring 6, so that, during the descent, the disc 8 passes through the ring 6 as can be seen on the Figure 2 and the lines can be deployed freely.
  • Figure 4 shows another method of attaching the lines 7 which pass through two loops 11 and 11 'forming part of a harness 12 fixed to the body 1 of the paratrooper.
  • the lines 3 can be attached to the body of the paratrooper.
  • the filling plug 4 is a patch which closes an orifice located at the upper end of the body 1.
  • the fabric 2 of the parachute is for example a very thin sheet or film of plastic, which can have a diameter of the order of one meter and which, when folded, occupies a very small volume.
  • Reinforcements 13 are glued or heat-sealed to the periphery of the sheet .2, ' for fixing the lines 3.
