Abstract

The auxiliary motor has a thermal or electric engine (1), micro-chassis (6), fuel or electrical energy storage unit (8), and foldable rotor (4). Motor does not have a cage or chassis. Motor also has elongated rotor shaft (3), and clutching system (5) allowing rotor to fold itself. Engine is able to be switched on or off during flight to give a choice of powered or unpowered flight to the user.

Description

<Desc/Clms Page number 1> <Desc / Clms Page number 1>

La présente invention concerne une motorisation dorsale selon la figure 1 pour le vol en parapente monoplace afin de permettre le décolage et le maintient dans l'air du parapente et de son pilote.  The present invention relates to a dorsal motorization according to FIG. 1 for the flight in a single-seater paraglider in order to allow the take-off and to maintain it in the air of the paraglider and its pilot.

Le vol en parapente s'effectue traditionnellement en décollant du sommet d'un relief, où en se faisant treuiller par l'intermédiaire d'un véhicule et d'un treuil motorisé.  Paragliding is traditionally done by taking off from the top of a relief, or by being towed by a vehicle and a motorized winch.

Le vol peut aussi s'effectuer par l'intermédiaire d'un moteur et d'un harnais spécifique, lié au châssis du moteur et d'une hélice propulsive protégée d'une cage munie d'un filet. Cet ensemble porte le nom de paramoteur et permet un vol maintenu qu'à condition que le moteur soit en fonctionnement.  The flight can also be carried out via an engine and a specific harness, linked to the engine chassis and a propeller propelled protected by a cage provided with a net. This unit is called paramotor and allows a maintained flight only if the engine is running.

L'invention permet de conserver son harnais de vol habituel ou son harnais adapté, pourvu de toutes ses protections et du parachute de secours, de décoller sans treuil ou sans relief, de supprimer toute protection d'hélice et de conserver l'accrochage de la voile aux emplacements d'origine du harnais de vol libre ou un harnais adapté.  The invention makes it possible to keep its usual flight harness or its adapted harness, provided with all its protections and the emergency parachute, to take off without winch or without relief, to remove any propeller protection and to keep the attachment of the sail in the original locations of the free flight harness or a suitable harness.

Selon l'invention le système de maintient de la motorisation (1) au harnais (7) se compose de quatre boucles automatiques (2), qui permettent en cas de problème, le largage de la machine en vol.  According to the invention, the system for maintaining the motorization (1) to the harness (7) consists of four automatic loops (2), which allow, in the event of a problem, the release of the machine in flight.

La suppression de la cage d'hélice et du filet protecteur est possible en éloignant l'hélice du dos du pilote par un arbre d'hélice (3) rallongé et en adoptant une hélice repliable (4), ce qui nécessite l'adoption d'un moteur (1) équipé d'un système débrayable (5) au ralenti, afin que l'hélice (4) puisse se replier.  The removal of the propeller cage and the protective net is possible by moving the propeller away from the pilot's back by an extended propeller shaft (3) and by adopting a folding propeller (4), which requires the adoption of 'An engine (1) equipped with a disengageable system (5) at idle, so that the propeller (4) can fold.

Un micro châssis (6) en alliage d'aluminium ou tout autres matériaux très léger et résistant, permet la fixation du moteur (1) et le stockage de carburant ou de batteries (8) dans le cas d'une motorisation électrique. Ce châssis vient se greffer au harnais (7) habituel de vol libre ou au harnais adapté en quelques secondes, par l'accrochage décrit ci-dessus.  A micro chassis (6) of aluminum alloy or any other very light and resistant material, allows the fixing of the engine (1) and the storage of fuel or batteries (8) in the case of an electric motorization. This frame is grafted onto the usual harness (7) for free flight or to the adapted harness in a few seconds, by the attachment described above.

La motorisation peut à tout instant être arrêté ou redémarré en vol, ce qui permet d'exploiter les ascendances thermiques, en vol traditionnel parapente sans l'aide de la motorisation.  The engine can be stopped or restarted in flight at any time, which makes it possible to exploit the thermal lifts, in traditional paragliding flight without the help of the engine.

La vocation de cette motorisation est le décolage jusqu'à l'accès d'une ascendance thermique ou la transition d'une ascendante thermique à une autre ascendance si celle-ci est trop lointaine pour y avoir accès sans moteur ce qui permet d'éviter d'écourter son vol en se posant. The purpose of this engine is take-off until access to a thermal lift or the transition from a thermal lift to another lift if it is too far away to have access without a motor, which avoids to shorten its flight by landing.
