Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rig for sailing vehicles, in particular sailing boats, surfboards, ice and sand sailers, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the sail In conventional rigging of sailing vehicles, the sail is attached to its luff on the mast as an aerodynamic propulsion surface. Because the mast is firmly connected to the vehicle, the sail can only be adjusted about the vertical axis. With such a construction, increasing wind causes the vehicle to heel, causing the sail, disadvantageously, to produce a downward force that cannot be used for propulsion. If, on the other hand, the sail is movably connected to the vehicle about the longitudinal axis, in addition to the propulsive force, a buoyancy force is created which can lift the vehicle in strong winds.
  • Riggs in which a symmetrical wing is pivotally mounted over the mast top are known for such sailing vehicles. These rigs are described in the publications AT-PS 94 817, DE-OS 34 32 970, US-PS 50 03 903, GB-PS 11 84 914 and FR-OS 24 61 642. Disadvantageously, however, the handling of the wing, and an adjustment of the angle of inclination and the angle of attack of the wing in a simple and safe manner is not possible. As a result, these constructions could not prove themselves in practice either.
  • the invention has for its object to design a rig of the type mentioned in such a way that simple and safe handling of the wing is achieved.
  • the wing can be held in a horizontal position symmetrically by lines and spring elements. In such a position, the wing does not generate aerodynamic forces. It also has the advantage that the wing can be opened and closed in this horizontal position.
  • FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment
  • Fig. 2 shows the embodiment with horizontal Wing in symmetrical middle position
  • Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 the pivot bearing in the pivoted and lowered state.
  • FIG. 1 shows a wing 1 with a mast 3 on a sailing vehicle 2 in a downwind sailing position in weak winds.
  • the wing 1 is constructed symmetrically and, as load-bearing elements connected to one another to form a structure, essentially wing tubes 9a, 9b, a curved wing spar 6 with a linear guide, and, lying in the plane of symmetry, a keel tube 10 and a spur 11.
  • the front end of the spur 11 is connected to the front end of a guide tube 8 together with tensioning cables 17a, 17b at the center of curvature 16 of the wing spar 6.
  • This guide tube 8 forms the pivot axis, and its rear end is fixedly connected to the pivotable parts of a pivot bearing 7.
  • the spur 11 and the guide tube 8 form an angle and are each orthogonal to the wing spar 6.
  • the wing spar 6 is connected to the pivot bearing 7 and to the mast top 4 via a linear bearing 19. As a result, the wing 1 can be pivoted in a turn or neck over the mast top 4 onto the respective leeward side of the vehicle.
  • This swinging over can be initiated by a sheet 12a, 12b on the vehicle windward side, or it occurs due to the shifting of the center of gravity of the wing 1 by its displacement with the help of traveler lines 14a, 14b along the curved wing spar 6.
  • a torsion spring element in particular a torsion spring 20 or an elastomeric bearing element 22 cushions the pivoting movement and supports the pivoting of the wing 1 into the horizontal position (FIGS. 3 and 4).
  • the swivel range is limited by rubber stops 21.
  • a tension element in particular a tension spring or a rubber cord, and limited by rubber stops 23.
  • the lowering of the wing 1 has the result that the aerodynamic pressure point of the wing 1 is always below the longitudinal axis of the pivot bearing 7. Increasing wind lifts wing 1, thereby automatically increasing its inclination. This leads to an increase in the upward vertical air force component and thus to the lifting effect on the entire vehicle described at the beginning.
  • the sheet 12a, 12b connects the wing 1 to the vehicle 2. It thus serves to transmit power and to adjust the angle of inclination of the wing 1. If it is designed as a rubber line, this angle of inclination is independently regulated in accordance with the strength of the wind.
  • the wing 1 In the horizontal position (FIG. 2), the wing 1 can be balanced by the two traveler lines 14a, 14b and placed symmetrically to the guide tube 8 and the mast 3.
  • the torsion spring element 20, 22 in the pivot bearing 7 holds the wing 1 in the horizontal position. At the same time, the spring element supports the swinging of the wing 1 in a turn or neck.
  • the wing 1 is articulated with the pivot bearing 7 on the mast top 4 for trimming purposes about the transverse axis. So that the position of the wing 1 with two lines 18 is adjustable.
  • the wing 1 is adjusted about the vertical axis (angle of attack) by rotating the mast 3 about its longitudinal axis.
  • a mast tiller 13 is attached to the mast base 5.
  • the torsional moment of the wing 1 is introduced into the mast 3 via the guide tube 8 and the pivot bearing 7 and transmitted to the mast tiller 13. This eliminates a sheet from the keel tube 10 to the vehicle.
  • wing 1 with wing spar 6 and integrated guide rail is both rigid, with ribs and planking, and flexible with canvas.
  • the wing tubes 9a, 9b are with the keel tube 10 articulated.
  • the wing 1 can be folded apart and folded together in a horizontal position on the mast 3, as shown in broken lines in FIG. 2.
  • the wing spar 6 then also serves to guide and hold the wing tubes 9a, 9b.
  • a canvas 15a, 15b is stretched between the wing tubes 9a, 9b and the keel tube 10.
  • the curvature of the sail profile can be predetermined in a known manner by battens.
  • the lines 24 necessary for unfolding and trimming the wing 1 are guided down to the vehicle 2 via the center of curvature 16 along the guide tube 8 and the mast 3.
  • the other lines are led directly downwards according to their respective function.
