Abstract

PURPOSE:To secure such a paraglider that is flyable after floating from the ground by composing a frame on a parachute-form sheet, stretching a safety rope across a body part and using it as a seat, then installing an engine set with a propeller, being suspended by a hanging net and free of rotation in both directions, in the upper part. CONSTITUTION:A nearly rectangular base frame 1 consisting of a pipe member is installed in the longitudinal direction, while a support rod 2 is stretched from longitudinal four angular points to both left-right directions, and a safety net 3, provided with a pilot running rift in the front block direction, is installed in the base frame 1. A fixture 6 for a hanging net 5 of a paraglider sheet PS is attached to the support rod, and a driving engine with a propeller 7 and a net cover 9 are installed in the upper part of the base frame 1. Then, in order to support a support block 11 supporting a mount 10 for these elements, symmetrical support legs 12 provided with a spring-cum-adjuster in the intermediate part is stretched from front symmetrical angular points of the base frame 1 to a front part of the support block 11.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Application Field] This invention is a new type of parachute that is equipped with a small engine and propeller to allow the parachute, which has conventionally been used to descend from the air, to ascend from the ground, change direction, and fly safely in the air. This relates to a paraglider with an engine set.

0002

[Prior Art] A parachute is originally the only device established for emergency escape from an aircraft.It is generally a flat, hemispherical material made of nylon, silk, cotton, rayon, or plastic film to reduce speed as it passes through the atmosphere. They often consist of an umbrella made of materials such as and nylon ropes for hanging objects.

[0003] For military use, including paratrooper drop use,
It has been used for dropping supply tanks, limiting the descent rate of bombs, etc., dropping cars and boats, and slowing down airplane missiles when landing.

[0004] In modern times, sky sport descents, that is, skydiving, have become popular along with gliders and soarers.

[0005]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As mentioned above, all conventional parachutes were used for descent, and the best that could be done was to fall underground from an aircraft, or to experience the horror of jumping from a high tower or mountain peak. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a paraglider that can float and fly even from the ground by configuring a parachute with a powered paraglider consisting of a lightweight engine, propeller, and equipment.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the structure thereof will be explained with reference to the drawings of the embodiment. A substantially rectangular base frame (1) which is longitudinal in the front and back direction is provided with pipe material, and this Stretch support rods (2) of appropriate angles and appropriate lengths from the four corner points in the left and right direction, and attach the base frame (1
), a safety net (3) with cuts (4) for the pilot (M) in the front and rear directions is installed, and a paraglider seat (PS) hanging rope (5) is attached to the support rod (2). Ingredients (
6) are installed at appropriate intervals, and a drive engine (8) with a propeller (7) and a net cover (9) are installed above the base frame (1), and these mounting stands (10) are installed. In order to support the support stand (11) which is rotatably supported left and right, left and right support legs (12) are provided with a spring-loaded joint (J) in the middle.
) from the front left and right corner points of the base frame (1).
A rear support leg (13) made of an elastic material is provided in the center of the rear frame of the base frame (1) to support the rear part of the support base (11), and is rotatably pivoted back and forth. The engine output adjustment operation stick (14) is located on the left frame of the base frame (1).
The above-mentioned engine mounting stand (10) and rotating control stick (15) are attached to the right frame, and these can be operated manually using a flexible wire (16) attached along the rear support leg (13). , and an engine set consisting of a large number of hanging ropes (5) provided around the periphery of the paraglider seat (PS), which are tightly tied to the base frame (1) and attachments (6) such as front, rear, left and right paraglider support rods (2). It is a paraglider.

[0007] It is of course possible to perform the operations and maneuvers using the flexible wire using a remote control device operated by electric buttons.

[0008]

[Function] The operating method and function of the propeller-equipped paraglider of the present invention will be explained below. First, in a wide open field or preferably on a slope of a mountain, the pilot should use both hands to control the left and right rods of the base frame (1) as shown in Figure 6. Grip the cut in the safety net (3) (
4) Stand on the ground, then start the engine and use the propellers to blow all the air into the paraglider, impregnating it with wind and making it float.

At this time, try to lower the base frame and the left and right support rods forward as much as possible with both arms so that the seat is exposed to the wind.

As mentioned above, the left and right support legs (12) of the engine support stand (11) are operated by joints (J), and the rear support legs (13) are also made of a material such as glass fiber and have a structure that can be moved up and down. It can be connected to the center of the floating paraglider with a sling to maintain the relationship between the paraglider seat and the engine.

[0011] Direction change is performed using the engine mounting stand rotating control stick (1
5), the direction can be determined freely by swinging the engine (8).

[0012] When the engine is stopped as described above, the paraglider descends naturally, and since the main body itself is in the form of a parachute, it is safe, simpler and easier to operate than a bicycle, and allows you to enjoy flight.

[0013]

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it achieves the effects as described below.

[0014] A conventional parachute-shaped seat is configured with a frame shaped like an animal's arms and legs spread out,
A safety net is placed around the fuselage to serve as the pilot's seat, and above the net is suspended by a sling, equipped with a lightweight propeller-equipped engine set that can rotate left and right, and is supported by front and rear support legs that can move up and down. It is installed on a fixed support stand. Therefore, unlike traditional parachutes and gliders,
This is a new type of paraglider that can float and glide on its own.

According to the present invention, with the above configuration, even beginners can easily levitate and glide after practicing several times.
Moreover, it is a sky sports paraglider that allows you to enjoy flying safely because it is a parachute type that is inherently safe.
