Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new type of sail for gear such as windsurfing, sand yachting, sailing boat and more generally for all board sports such as for example skiing and ice skating and casters.
- the sails currently used have the characteristic, whatever their shape, of using the force of the wind by pivoting about a vertical axis; the propellant component then being perpendicular to this axis.
- the present sail belongs to this new type of sail capable of being oriented along the three axes in order to obtain propellant and lift effects at will.
- the sail proposed by this patent is characterized by a stable convex transverse shape of the gull wing type. Indeed, a concave profile always tends to turn around in strong wind since 0 if it is removed from its equilibrium position where the two halves of the sail offer the same surface, perpendicular to the wind, one of the halves receives more and more wind while the other receives less and lefs to in ⁇ pays a convex profile "V" which always tends to return the sail 5 * to its equilibrium position.
- a convex "V" profile facilitates the flow of air, and during gusts * it tends to close, thereby dampening wind swings.
- the sail has a leading edge diverging towards the rear, a central section strongly curved concave to the wind in the vicinity of the top of the leading edge and continuing progressively more rectilinearly towards the rear end, and a trailing edge joining the two ends of the leading edge to said rear end to form two sides
- OMFI v, ⁇ ? O diverging in "V" convex to the wind on either side of said central section.
- the top of the leading edge is preferably rounded and its opening is preferably of the order of 110 to 130 °.
- the central section can be slightly convex and its rear end to present an asymmetrical S shape.
- the sail may have a support element away from the wing under the latter and two return bars diverging forward from said rear end, for example forming a triangular system with the support bar.
- the sail comprises a framework of substantially rigid elongated elements, in particular tubular and a wing stretched over the framework with, preferably, a set of pre-cambered slats concave in the wind near the leading edge.
- the connections between the framing elements can advantageously be flexible to facilitate a certain deformability of the sail, the shape of which is maintained by its own tension.
- Figure 1 is a side view and from below
- Figure 2 is a view from below
- Figure 3 is a front view with a small rotation
- Figures 4 and 5 are detail views.
- the sail 1 with a stable convex profile in the form of a gull's wing consists of a set of trapezoidal zoidal portions of fabric made up together giving it the general appearance of a sector of a circle and provided with two transparent windows 2 for the operator's good vision.
- the sail 1 is stretched over a light alloy frame composed of: two border tubes 3 fitted into a curved front tube 4, a slightly curved central tube 7 following an "S" profile used to form the profile transverse convex in "V" shape by the action of the two stretching tubes 5 on the link 12 and finally a curved support tube 6.
- the border tubes 3 pass inside strips of leather respectively secured by means of the screws 15 of the stretching tubes 5 and of the support tube 6 before fitting into within the curved head pipe 4 by bearing on the stops 17 hold the Baques 16 in position 5 and the tube 6.
- the tubes 12 detail in Figure 5 shows the tensioning of 0 sail using the cords 19 passing through the eyelet 18
- the sail can be used alone or acultativemen connected to a mast 20 of the vehicle to be propelled.
- the ⁇ at 20 can for example be connected to the machine by a first ball joint 21 while the other end is connected to the sail by 5 a sleeve 22 sliding on the support bar 6 with a second ball joint 23.
- the characteristic of the new sail is that it only receives the wind on one side, the other side being always downwind. This feature is very important since it allows the use of preformed sails made of rigid materials with aerodynamic profiles of the airplane wing type.
- the edge changes are made by planking the sail followed by the passage of the sail over the head of the operator with immediate recovery of the wind on the other edge; this technique is much easier and faster than the conventional way of changing edges by tilting the mast backwards and passing the operator in front of it, as is done with the current sails of windsurfers .
- the multiple possible orientations of the sail make it possible to create a propulsive force having the effect of pulling the machine forward and upwards and this more or less large susten ⁇ tion depending on the desired size of the sail must also allow high speeds due to the resulting aquaplanning effect for light equipment
