El objeto de la invención es conseguir una cometa del tipo citado, cuya armadura presenta unas características estructurales que permiten el plegado y desplegado de la misma, de una forma sumamente rápida y sencilla, concretamente con un solo movimiento de la mano.The object of the invention is to achieve a Kite of the aforementioned type, whose armor has some characteristics structural that allow the folding and unfolding of it, of an extremely fast and simple way, specifically with just one hand movement

Es también objeto de la invención dotar a la cometa de una óptima resistencia estructural.It is also the object of the invention to provide the Comet of optimal structural strength.

Background of the invention

Como es sabido, cualquier cometa y en particular las cometas tipo "delta" se arman y se desarman para reducir su ocupación volumétrica en situación inoperante, estando la armadura constituida mediante una pluralidad de varillas que se fijan por sus extremos en el seno de puntos de conexión entre ellas y al cuerpo laminar, de manera que su estructura final es fruto de la conexión entre al menos ocho puntos diferentes, con conexiones que se llevan a cabo de forma manual. El tipo de conexión o piezas que conectan las varillas a la tela de la cometa, pueden variar desde cintas que agarren la varilla a simples codos que acogen dentro de si las varillas, pero en cualquier caso las operaciones de montaje y desmontaje resultan lentas y laboriosas.As is known, any kite and in particular "Delta" kites are armed and disarmed to reduce their volumetric occupation in an inoperative situation, the armor being constituted by a plurality of rods that are fixed by their ends within the connection points between them and the body laminate, so that its final structure is the result of connection between at least eight different points, with connections that are carried out manually. The type of connection or parts that connect the rods to the kite fabric, can vary from tapes that grab the rod to simple elbows that house inside if the rods, but in any case the assembly operations and Dismantling is slow and laborious.

Tratando de obviar esa problemática, el propio solicitante es titular del Modelo de Utilidad U 200802075 en el que se describe una cometa plegable a base de un cuerpo laminar, de tela, susceptible de plegarse o extenderse con la colaboración de una armadura, en la que participan dos varillas antero-laterales alojadas en canutillos de la tela, unidas articuladamente entre si por su extremo interno y con las que confluyen otras dos varillas que se dirigen divergentemente hacia el borde posterior de la tela, en puntos provistos de conectores de goma que reciben a su vez a otra pareja de varillas que se extienden entre esos puntos y la zona media de las citadas varillas transversales e intermedias, que atraviesan a otros dos conectores de goma, fijándose estas dos varillas transversales e intermedias por su extremo externo en la zona media del borde frontal de cada mitad de la tela, mientras que por su extremo interno confluyen en un conector central que se cruza con una varilla que relaciona el vértice anterior con el punto medio del borde posterior, estableciendo los citados conectores de goma uniones articuladas y no desmontables, y contando el conector central con un pinza de fijación a la varilla antero-posterior y media, en cualquier punto a lo largo de la misma, para estabilizar la armadura tanto en posición de extensión como en situación de plegado de la tela.Trying to ignore that problem, his own applicant is holder of Utility Model U 200802075 in which a folding kite based on a laminar body, of fabric, capable of folding or spreading with the collaboration of an armor, in which two rods participate antero-laterals housed in fabric hooks, jointly joined together by its internal end and with which two other rods converge divergently towards the back edge of the fabric, at points provided with connectors rubber that receive another pair of rods that extend between those points and the middle zone of the mentioned rods transverse and intermediate, which pass through two other connectors of rubber, fixing these two transverse and intermediate rods at its outer end in the middle area of the front edge of each half of the fabric, while at its inner end they converge on a central connector that intersects with a rod that relates the anterior vertex with the midpoint of the posterior border, establishing said rubber connectors articulated joints and not removable, and counting the central connector with a clamp fixation to the antero-posterior and middle rod, in any point along it, to stabilize the armor both in the extended position and in the folded position of the cloth.

Asimismo, el solicitante es titular del Modelo de Utilidad U 200802460, en donde se describe una cometa plegable cuya estructura se materializa en dos varillas antero-laterales, unidas articuladamente entre si por uno de sus extremos y que se alojan en respectivos canutillos del borde frontal de la tela, con las que colaboran dos pares de varillas flexibles, dos principales y dos secundarias o "whiskers", estando esos dos pares de varillas relacionados entre si a través de un bastidor central al que se unen articuladamente, cuyo bastidor central está dotado de medios de acoplamiento machihembrado de conexión rápida y practicable a un bastidor complementario establecido sobre la zona media posterior del cuerpo de la cometa.Likewise, the applicant owns the Model of Utility U 200802460, where a folding kite is described whose structure is materialized in two rods antero-laterals, articulated together by one of its ends and that are housed in respective canutillos of the front edge of the fabric, with which two pairs of flexible rods, two main and two secondary or "whiskers", those two pairs of rods being related each other through a central frame to which they join articulated, whose central frame is provided with means of quick and practicable tongue and groove coupling to a complementary frame established on the middle posterior area of the body of the kite.

Por su parte, las varillas principales se fijan por su extremidad libre a las varillas antero-laterales en la zona media posterior de la misma, mientras que las varillas secundarias o "whiskers" se fijan por su extremidad libre en sendos puntos coincidentes con las zonas de máxima concavidad del perfil que se define en el borde posterior de la cometa.On the other hand, the main rods are fixed by its free end to the rods antero-laterals in the middle posterior area of the same, while the secondary rods or "whiskers" are set by their free limb in two points coinciding with the Maximum concavity areas of the profile defined at the edge Rear of the kite.

Si bien las cometas descritas en esos dos Modelos de Utilidad referidos, cumplen satisfactoriamente la función para la que fueron diseñadas, sin embargo en la practica presentan una apertura y cierre, es decir un desplegado y plegado, susceptibles de mejorarse, al igual que la resistencia de la estructura de la cometa.While the kites described in those two Utility models referred to, satisfactorily fulfill the function for which they were designed, however in practice they present an opening and closing, that is to say unfolding and folding, susceptible to improvement, as well as the resistance of the Kite structure.

Description of the invention

La estructura que se preconiza ha sido concebida precisamente para cumplir la prestación referida en el último párrafo del apartado anterior, es decir para conseguir que la cometa resulte fácil de plegar y desplegar, sencilla funcionalmente y además ofrecer una alta resistencia en lo que respecta a la armadura final de la cometa.The structure that has been recommended has been conceived precisely to fulfill the benefit referred to in the last paragraph of the previous section, that is to get the kite It is easy to fold and unfold, functionally simple and also offer high strength in regards to armor end of kite

Mas concretamente la estructura de la cometa se constituye a partir de una varilla central en funciones de eje central, que divide a la cometa en dos mitades simétricas y laterales, realizándose las maniobras de plegado y desplegado de forma deslizante a través de esa varilla central, maniobra que se realizará de forma rápida y sencilla.More specifically the structure of the kite is constitutes from a central rod in axis functions central, which divides the kite into two symmetric halves and lateral, performing the folding and unfolding maneuvers of sliding form through that central rod, maneuver that will perform quickly and easily.

Además de esa varilla central, la estructura cuenta con dos varillas antero-laterales alojadas en respectivos canutillos establecidos al efecto en los bordes antero-laterales de la propia tela o material en que esté constituida la cometa, de manera tal que esas dos varillas alojadas en los canutillos están articuladas entre si en un punto anterior, donde la tela de la cometa forma un ángulo obtuso.In addition to that central rod, the structure It has two antero-lateral rods housed in respective earrings set for this purpose at the edges antero-laterals of the fabric itself or material in which the kite is constituted, so that these two rods housed in the canutillos are articulated with each other at one point anterior, where the kite fabric forms an obtuse angle.

Las varillas antero-laterales alojadas en los canutillos presentan en puntos intermedios unos conectores de plástico, que en un caso constituyen medios de acoplamiento para el extremo de varillas transversales anteriores, y en otro caso para varillas transversales posteriores, de manera tal que esas varillas, tanto en uno como en otro caso, se fijan por su otro extremo, es decir por el extremo interior, en respectivos conectores centrales montados de forma deslizante sobre la varilla central, y sobre cuyos conectores deslizantes van montados articuladamente respectivos brazos afectados de un orificio ciego en el que precisamente se enchufan los extremos de las varillas transversales, tanto anteriores como posteriores, formando así una estructura sencilla, fácil de plegar y además resistente.Antero-lateral rods housed in the canutillos present in intermediate points some plastic connectors, which in one case constitute means of coupling for the end of anterior transverse rods, and otherwise for rear transverse rods, in such a way that these rods, both in one and another case, are fixed by their other end, that is to say by the inner end, in respective central connectors slidably mounted on the rod central, and on whose sliding connectors are mounted articulated respective affected arms of a blind hole in which precisely plug the ends of the rods transversal, both anterior and posterior, thus forming a Simple structure, easy to fold and also resistant.

Los brazos en los que se enchufan los extremos de las varillas transversales, presentan en su extremo opuesto al del orificio ciego, una conformación circular abierta y transversal, que se posiciona en ejes establecidos transversalmente en acanaladuras previstas al efecto en los propios conectores deslizantes por la varilla central, estableciendo así la articulación de los brazos y por lo tanto de las varillas enchufadas en los mismos.The arms where the ends are plugged in of the transverse rods, present at their opposite end to the of the blind hole, an open and transverse circular conformation, which is positioned on axes established transversely in grooves provided for this purpose on the connectors themselves sliding down the central rod, thus establishing the articulation of the arms and therefore of the plugged rods in them.

El número de conectores deslizantes sobre la varilla central podrá ser variable y por lo tanto el número de varillas, dependiendo de la resistencia que se quiera proporcionar a la estructura de la cometa, permitiendo por lo tanto reforzar dicha estructura o armadura y aumentar con ello la resistencia frente al viento.The number of sliding connectors on the central rod may be variable and therefore the number of rods, depending on the resistance you want to provide the structure of the kite, thus allowing to reinforce said structure or reinforcement and thereby increase resistance against wind.

A excepción de los conectores centrales, es decir los que discurren deslizantemente sobre la varilla central, y correspondientes brazos articulados sobre los mismos, el resto de uniones son estables con la colaboración de un adhesivo.Except for the central connectors, it is say those that slide slidly over the central rod, and corresponding arms articulated on them, the rest of Joints are stable with the collaboration of an adhesive.

Todos los conectores montados deslizantemente sobre la varilla central, estarán unidos por un hilo o cuerda, de manera que al tirar de cualquiera de sus conectores extremos, todos los conectores montados sobre la varilla central se moverán con un movimiento deslizante a través de dicha varilla central, permitiendo el armado o plegado de la cometa en un movimiento fácil y rápido.All slide mounted connectors on the central rod, they will be joined by a thread or rope, of so that by pulling any of its extreme connectors, all the connectors mounted on the central rod will move with a sliding movement through said central rod, allowing assembling or folding the kite in an easy movement and Quick.
