Definitions

  • the invention relates to an automated coupling and decoupling method between the luff of a sail and mast guide weighing during preheating and recovering a batten mainsail, according to the preamble of claim 1 and an apparatus for performing this method.
  • the main problem is the luff of the sail and its connection to the mast. It should smoothly let the sail run up and down and the luff over the mandrel together with the sail to be rewound.
  • a luff made of fabric plastic with a correspondingly smaller final diameter, in order to be able to be wound, is usually selected, which is longitudinally displaceable within a special small mast groove, but is not allowed to slip through it.
  • the winding diameter of the wound up luffing bollard must not significantly exceed the diameter of the canvas bale with profile reinforcements during reefing and recovery, since both must be wound on the same mandrel as possible without wrinkles.
  • the luff is often sewn up the length of the sail in a gentle wave form, so that the Vorliewickwickelung not only one above the other, but wider side by side, takes place with the disadvantage of greater friction in the mast, which runs so straight and distort the sail accordingly.
  • the aim of the invention was to provide an automatic arrival and decoupling system of Segellielieks, which makes it possible, a preferred battened mainsail in a suitable shape and quality, which is hardly limited in height, with continuous to the underbelly parallel battening in a suitable number on the one hand by means of smooth Mast guide weighing behind a mast in a suitable track in the usual way aufnos along the mast or reffen and on the other hand vorzulor the sail by a coupling method according to the invention by means of the then released luff advantageous with an easy-to-use furrow tree and salvage.
  • each batten there is a fuselage holder made of hard aluminum and / or stainless steel, which in turn is mounted horizontally pivotable on a suitable mast guide carriage (mowing roller), so that the sail is swung out on both sides.
  • the luffing holder allows separation from the luff of the batten mainsail from the components of the mast-side guideway just before its winding onto the winding mandrel of the furler tree.
  • the sail can therefore be unrolled completely rolled up, while the guide rail elements, ie luffing and mast guide carriage, remain tightly stacked at the end of the mast guideway.
  • the luffing holders are retrieved for protection against contact in a stacking magazine, which is attached to the furler tree on the mast side and in which all switching functions of the coupling and uncoupling take place in mutual cooperation.
  • the necessary energy is taken from the up and down movement of the sail.
  • each sail bat which is unwound picks up its associated mast guide carriage by means of the inventive luff holder, thus restoring an inseparable connection along the mast. If necessary, can be set in a similar manner between the slats, an additional luffing mast with mast carriage.
  • the coupling and uncoupling of the sail mast guide carriage connection is done according to the invention by a forced function of the luff holder, which mechanically causes no malfunction in the functional sequences and thus operates reliable.
  • the luff of the batten mainsail has no sewn round Liektau as conventional, but according to the invention a high-strength thin Vorliekgurt in the docking of the luff holder shaped button rivets each preferably preferred riveted in front of the battens are received by the lever lock of the luff holder a universally positive permanent connection.
  • Each luff holder according to the invention consists of a molded base plate with an approximately right angle outgoing jaw, which has a corresponding conical recess for receiving the button rivets of the belt as a sail luff.
  • Opposite the Fixbacke parallel and at a distance of the Vorliekgurt to be clamped is a shaped closure jaw whose opening axis of rotation is accommodated in a bearing sleeve which is fixedly connected to the base plate.
  • the opening geometry of the closure jaw in the form of a higher pivot point allows a free passage of the luff belt from top to bottom during reefing.
  • the slightly closing jaw catches caught with their leading tentacles a rolled-up button rivets, centers them and includes them in the Fixiervertiefept so that when hot the sail of the connection lock (luffing) along with its coupled mast guide car along the mast is taken up.
  • the components of the luffing hangers in order to be tightly stackable, are designed such that, with their functional elements, they can spatially intermesh with one another in terms of their height, thereby achieving their multifunctionality. So opens when recovering the sail of the previous luffing holder accruing from above luffing each his forced locking of the closure jaw, which then releases the fixed Vorliekgurt the sail to roll up. At the same time, however, one of the upper base plate descending downward distance finger is pushed into the lower Vorliekhalter, where it completely lifts the already unlocked, slightly sprung closure jaw against the spring force and disengages.
  • each button lanyard takes only the top luffing with it, locks it on exit from the stacking magazine to a fixed connection by means of a twisted over the dead center eccentric lever of the forced locking and runs through the mast guide carriage headed up the mast.
  • the individual functional steps run vice versa, except for the unlocking time of the forced locking, which takes place respectively at the very end of the journey before running onto the stack height in the stacking magazine.
  • All luffing hangers enter the stacking magazine guided by the guide carriages.
  • the first which has arrived at the bottom of the bottom of the magazine, opens by twisting the protruding control lever of the forced locking by running onto the stop of the stacking magazine, the closure jaw, so that the now released sail can be rolled away and the next arriving luffing holder runs on the first. Due to the mutual emergence on the respective lower is first brought out of engagement in the lower by the spacer finger there closure jaw and slightly later in the same stroke the forced locking of the incoming luff holder by coordinated lever contact with the lower, whereby the luff is finally released completely and the Sail can be rolled up completely, until the headboard of the sail has been used to stack magazine.
