Abstract

Device for facilitating and rendering less tiring a trip on water which is longer and more lasting in time. The invention relates to a permanent or temporary device for the required purpose, composed of a supplementary sail rigged in a certain manner to the mast of a sailboard, to the extent that it is possible to remove this device for a normal trip of the sailboard. It consists of a second, smaller sail which is fixed at the two ends 1 and 5 in an extensible manner so as to allow tacking. This is by virtue of the rubber cable 4 placed at the sail head and of the fixed point on the front reinforcing angle 13 held by a shackle 2 fixed to the towing ring 1 of the sailboard. Fixed to the third internal angle is a sheet which, via a pulley system 8 placed at the foot of the mast, joins the handle of the wishbone 9 and is fixed or not at will to a wedging cleat 10 placed on the arm of the wishbone. The device according to the invention is particularly intended to provide ease for the sailboarder who wishes to cover a long distance of indeterminate duration, by reducing his fatigue.

Description

Voile @upplémenteire Crée sur l'avant d'une Planche à voile
La présente invention concerne un dispositif permottent à un planchiste d'évoluer sur l'eau plus aisément.Voile @ upplémenteire Created on the front of a Windsurfing board
The present invention relates to a device allowing a snowboarder to move on the water more easily.

Cette voile supplémentaire lui diminue la dépense d'énorgie et lui procure une navigation plus durable et moins fatigante. This additional sail reduces the expenditure of energy and gives it a more durable and less tiring navigation.

@raditionnellement un planchiste ne traveille qu'avec une seule voile. @raditionally a snowboarder only works with one sail.

avec cette invention, les forces sont réparties sur le mat du fait des deuux voiles.with this invention, the forces are distributed over the mast due to the two sails.

out comme un dériveur, on monte un supplément de voile type r@@ à l'avant de la plance. out like a dinghy, we mount an additional r @@ type sail at the front of the boat.

De dimonsions variables, suivant l'utilité de la planche en fonction du vont aussi, elle est réglable d'une écoute @lacée au bord intérieur de la voile. Une ralingue ou cordage est cousue dans l'ourlet de la bordure et de l'amure pour se torminer au bord inférieur par une manille que l'on peut fixer sur le point de romerquage de la planche; à la partie supérieure on ajoute une autre manille pour fixer le sandow de rappel. Ce dernier étant fixé lui-même à la tète de mat au renfort de la tétière de grand-voile. Cesysthème pormot un virement de bord facile. Of variable dimensions, depending on the usefulness of the board depending on the go, it is adjustable with a sheet @ laced at the inner edge of the sail. A rope or rope is sewn in the hem of the border and tack to be torminated at the lower edge by a shackle that can be fixed on the point of notching the board; to the upper part, another shackle is added to fix the bungee cord. The latter being fixed itself to the mast head to the reinforcement of the mainsail head. Cesysthème pormot an easy tack.

L'écoute de cette petite voile est passée dans une poulie simple au pied du mat puis dans la poignée du wishbone pour se terminer soit libre et commandée à volonté par le planchiste, soit bloquée à l'aide d'un taquet coinceur; ce qui permettrait au planchiste d'être libre de ses mouvements pour travailler plus facilement au harnais. Listening to this small sail is passed through a simple pulley at the foot of the mast then in the handle of the wishbone to end either free and controlled at will by the rider, or blocked with a cleat cleat; which would allow the rider to be free to move to work more easily on the harness.

Avec ce systhème, il est évidont que le plnchiste peut travailler aisément pour une distance plus longue et une duréeplus impertante. With this system, it is obvious that the rider can work easily for a longer distance and a more impertinent duration.

Cette voile peut être de la même motière que n'importe quelles voiles actuelles: nylon, dacron etc.... This sail can be of the same motière as any current sail: nylon, dacron etc ...

Claims

R E V E N D I C A T I O N S

I) Fixing devices using a shackle (5) to the mast of the windsurf board connected to a mandow (4) which remains extensible in order to allow tacking. otherwise we could not ba @@ ulér le mat vorz the rear. It is then taken on a rope, we halyard (3) neck @ ue on the sail to avoid as much as possible the shrinkage and ensure rigidity. It ends at the bottom of the sail at a reinforced angle and is fixed to a shackle (2). The latter is fixed to the towing eye (I) of the windsurf board.

for sailboards characterized by:

Improved additional maneuvering sail

2- A more mobile device which allows an expert to tackle this type of sail (15) using a sheet (7) which passes through a simple pulley (8) free at the foot of the mast, then rises in the handle of wishbonne by a passage (9) all this to lead either to the cleat cleat (10) open, or handled by the windsurfer to his cover @ ance.

3- Additional device which is an abseiling halyard to evolve with a harness which seems almost compulsory with this system.
