Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a locking device of a sail to respective mast, used for example on large-size sailboats, which allows to relieve the working load of the halyard, thus reducing the load on the masthead.
  • Sailboats are provided with at least one mast, to which a given number of sails are fixed to allow sailing.
  • the sails are hoisted onto the mast by means of appropriate winches, ropes and pulleys.
  • Some systems for hoisting the sails e.g. the mainsail, provide for fixing the upper end of the sail, named sail head, to a carriage, which can run on a specific rail provided on the mast. Since the sail head is provided with at least one hole, such a carriage is also provided with at least one hole, so that the sail head can be tied to the carriage by means of a rope.
  • These systems may also include a locking system of the carriage typically near the upper end of the mast, or masthead. By virtue of the locking system, the ropes and winches are subjected to loads lower and can be dimensioned accordingly.
  • the material with which the sails are made is subject to yielding which determines a dimensional variation of the sail.
  • the main causes of such yielding are wear or strong gusts of wind while sailing.
  • the dimensional variations of the sail determine sailing in non-optimal conditions.
  • the sail head must be tied to the carriage according to the actual size of the sail so as to adjust the position of the sail head with respect to the mast and arrange the sail for better sailing.
  • Such an adjustment may be necessary also for other reasons in addition to the dimensional variations of the sail, e.g. to adapt the tension of the sail according to wind speed.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a device which allows the aforesaid adjustment while sailing without needing to take the sail to non-operative conditions, allowing a better and efficient adjustment of the sail in case of yielding of the fabric or of variations of the wind force.
  • a locking device for locking a head of a sail, or sail head, to the masthead of a sailboat which comprises, according to claim 1:
  • the adjustment by means of the device of the invention can be performed while sailing without needing to take the sail to non-operative conditions.
  • the carriage can be moved electrically, by means of a specific control panel, or mechanically only, e.g. by means of a rope possibly actuated by a winch.
  • the locking position can be varied along the mast either continuously or discreetly within a wide range, e.g. approximately 30 cm, preferably approximately 20-25 cm.
  • the minimum adjustment step can be, for example, equal to approximately 3 cm. Other minimum steps are however possible.
  • the position of the sail head with respect to the mast can be detected by means of one or more sensors, e.g. by means of tooth-counting sensors.
  • the tooth-counting sensors can be electronically connected to one or more indicators, preferably arranged on deck, e.g. near the pilot bridge.
  • the invention is particularly suited to be used for large-size sailboats, e.g. having length equal to or greater than 20 m.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show an embodiment of a device according to the invention, indicated as a whole by reference numeral 1.
  • FIG. 1 device 1 is shown together with a part of a mast 2 of a sailboat, the latter not shown.
  • the upper portion of the mast 2, distal from the hull, which is also named masthead is shown.
  • At least one rail 3, which defines a longitudinal Y axis, is fixed onto the mast 2.
  • the at least one rail 3 is fixed onto a longitudinal portion, which is substantially but not necessarily flat, of the outer surface of the mast 2.
  • the device 1, object of the present invention comprises a fixed part 4, or frame, fixed onto the masthead 2 and a moveable part 5, which can slide along the rail 3.
  • the fixed part 4 is constrained to said substantially flat longitudinal portion of the mast 2 e.g. by means of a plurality of screws and bolts.
  • the fixed part 4 comprises two longitudinal supports 6, 7 parallel to each other, which extend along a direction parallel to the Y axis.
  • the longitudinal supports 6, 7 are distanced from one another along an axis X, perpendicular to the Y axis, defining a gap for the passage of the moveable part 5.
  • the inner edges 10, 11, proximal to the Y axis, of the respective longitudinal supports 6, 7 are near the rail 3 which is arranged between the two longitudinal supports 6, 7.
  • the two longitudinal supports 6, 7 are joined by transverse supports or spacers 8, 9, for example two supports, which extend along the X axis and are fixed, e.g. by means of screws, to the substantially flat longitudinal portion of the mast 2, so as to be arranged between such a longitudinal portion and the rail 3.
  • the fixed part 4 is symmetric to the Y axis ( Figures 4-5 ).
  • the fixed part 4 further comprises two double-acting pneumatic cylinders 12, 13 having the longitudinal axis parallel to the Y axis and fixed to a respective longitudinal support 6, 7.
  • Each pneumatic cylinder 12, 13 can be fed with compressed air and is provided with a rod 14, 15, protruding with respect to the chamber of the cylinder, also having the longitudinal axis parallel to the Y axis.
  • the rods 14, 15 are apt to move along a direction parallel to the Y axis under the bias of the compressed air.
  • a first end, proximal to the cylinder 12, 13, of a respective arm or extension 16, 17 is fixed to the lower end of each rod 14, 15.
  • Each arm 16, 17 has a respective longitudinal axis parallel to the Y axis and moves integrally with the respective rod 14, 15.
  • a spring 18, 19 is provided about each rod 14, 15, the ends of which rest respectively on cylinder 12, 13 and on the first end 50, 51 of the arm 16, 17.
  • a first end of at least one shaped element 22, 23 is fixed to the second end 20, 21 of each arm 16, 17, distal from the cylinder 12, 13.
  • Each shaped element 22, 23 is hinged at a central zone thereof on a respective longitudinal support 6, 7 and is provided with a second end 24, 25.
  • Each second end 24, 25 can protrude towards the Y axis beyond the inner edge 10, 11 of the respective longitudinal support 6, 7, in a first operating position.
  • Figure 4 shows the second ends 24, 25 of the shaped element 22, 23 in a protruding position from the edges 10, 11.
  • Figure 5 instead, shows the second ends 24, 25 in a second operating position, not protruding from the edges 10, 11, these second ends 24, 25 occupying gaps or seats 24', 25' provided for them on the respective longitudinal support 6, 7.
  • Each shaped element 22, 23 thus defines a pivoting tooth, which pivots about the respective pin 52,53.
  • the moveable part 5 of the device 1 of the invention comprises a carriage 28 constrained to the rail 3 so as to be able to slide on it.
  • the carriage 28 is provided with a plate 29, or tablet, in which a through opening 31 is provided.
  • the head of a sail, or sail head can be fixed to the plate 29, e.g. by tying a rope (not shown).
  • the plate 29 can pivot about the pin 32 which is hinged to an end thereof.
  • a plurality of fixed teeth 40 having substantially V-shaped profile, are provided on at least one stretch of each of the two sides of the carriage 28, which extend parallel to the longitudinal axis Y.
  • the protrusions 24, 25 of the two pivoting teeth are shaped so as to be inserted in the gap between one fixed tooth and the next during the upward movement of the carriage 28.
  • two or more pivoting teeth hinged on a respective longitudinal support 6, 7 can be provided.
  • the upward movement of the carriage can be performed electrically by means of a specific control panel which actuates a winch which winds the rope of the sail.
  • a specific control panel which actuates a winch which winds the rope of the sail.
  • each proximity sensor being arranged at the lower end of a respective longitudinal support 6, 7.
  • a first end of a slider 43, 44 apt to slide along a guide 46, 47 parallel to the Y axis is also fixed to the second end 20, 21 of each arm 16, 17.
  • a sensor plate 45 is provided on each slider 43, 44. The sensor plate 45 represents the object the presence or absence of which is detected in the immediate proximity of the "sensitive side" of the proximity sensor.
  • the releasing of the carriage 28 is obtained by means of the operation of the winch which winds a small stretch of rope to allow a small upward movement of the carriage 28, followed by the simultaneous operation of the two pneumatic cylinders 12, 13.
  • the bias of the compressed air in the chamber opposite to the chamber on rod side 14, 15 allows the rod 14, 15 to push the arms 16, 17 downwards, thus determining the pivoting of the pivoting teeth, with the ends 24, 25 which occupy the gap 24', 25' on the respective support 6, 7, not protruding beyond the inner edges 10, 11 of the supports 6, 7.
  • the carriage 28 can be rapidly moved down along the rail 3 carrying down the sail to a non-operating condition.
  • the slider 43, 44 will move down along the respective guide 46, 47, and in this case the proximity sensor 26, 27 will send a signal which informs the control system that the gap delimited between the inner edges 10, 11 of the supports 6, 7 is completely free.
