Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an aggregate connector for connecting vertical aggregates and horizontal aggregates in a Western-style kite, particularly a diamond-shaped Western-style kite used as a continuous kite.

The present applicant previously filed an application for the aggregate connector shown in Figs.
No. 169391) J0 Fig. 1 is a perspective view, Fig. 2 is a front view, Fig. 3 is a plan view, and Fig. 4 is a rear view of a Western-style model manufactured using the connector.

The connector has a base 2 which has a thread insertion hole 1 penetrating from the front to the rear in the center, and a vertical bone support part 4 which has insertion holes 3 and 3' for vertical beams on both upper and lower surfaces, respectively. ,4'
a transverse bone support part which protrudes on the same axis and has insertion holes 6, 6' for transverse aggregates via flexible connecting pieces 5, 5' on the left and right outer surfaces of the base 2, respectively. 7.7' protrudes perpendicularly to the vertical bone support parts 4, 4', and is configured to tilt the left and right horizontal bone support parts 7, 7' within a predetermined angle. It is something.

In addition, on the map, 1' is a recess provided at the front and rear opening ends of the thread insertion hole 1, 8 and 8' are protrusions provided on the rear end side of the base 2, and 8 and 8' are protrusions provided at the rear of the transverse bone support parts 7 and 7'. It comes into contact with the end corner and restricts the tilting angle of the transverse bone support portion 7°7'.

9 is a diamond-shaped kite body, 10 is a hole for attaching a connector, 11.11' is a vertical aggregate, and 12.12' is a kite body formed in a diamond shape.
13 indicates the horizontal aggregate and 13 indicates the lifting thread.

According to the connector, the vertical aggregates 11.11' and the horizontal aggregates 12.12 are inserted into the insertion holes of the vertical bone supports 4, 4' and the horizontal bone supports 7, 7', respectively. Since the framework can be almost completed just by doing this, it is possible to achieve the effect that Western-style assembly work can be performed extremely efficiently.

However, as a result of further experimentation and research on this connector, the applicant discovered that the hole had a drawback.

That is, in this connector, the thread insertion hole 1 is located in the center of the base 2, that is, in the upper and lower longitudinal bone support parts 4° 4' as shown in FIG.
Since it was provided at the intersection point A of the common axis X of the left and right horizontal support parts 7, 7', there is a thread at the center of the wind force when the kite is flown, as shown in Figure 5. The angle at which the kite is flown is a bit steep, and it receives strong wind pressure.
Therefore, the lifting thread 13 had to be thick.

However, the thicker the flying string, the heavier it becomes, so the number of kites to be flown must be reduced, and the thicker string is extremely expensive.

In view of these points, the present applicant has improved this connector as detailed below.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 6 is a front view, FIG. 7 is a plan view, and FIG. 8 is an illustration of a kite manufactured using the present invention in a flying state.

In the present invention, vertical beam insertion holes 16 are provided on both upper and lower surfaces of the base 15, which has thread insertion holes 14 penetrating from the front surface to the rear surface.
．． 16' are provided on the vertical bone support part 1B 17' protrudingly provided on the same axis, and flexible connecting pieces 18 and 18 are provided on the left and right outer surfaces of the base 15 at their respective central parts.
' The horizontal bone support part 20.20' having the insertion hole 19.19' for the horizontal bone material is inserted into the vertical bone support part 1B17.
The left and right transverse bone support portions 2
In a Western-style aggregate connector configured to tilt within a predetermined angle of 0.20', the thread insertion hole 14
on the common axis X of the upper and lower vertical bone supports 17.17' from the intersection A of the common axis X of the upper and lower vertical bone supports 17.17' and the common axis Y of the left and right horizontal bone supports 20.20'. It is characterized by being located slightly above B.

On the map, 14' is a recess provided at the front and rear opening ends of the thread insertion hole 14, 21.21' is a protrusion provided on the rear side surface of the base 15, and 21.21' is a projection provided at the rear end corner of the transverse bone support part 20.20'. 20.20' to restrict the tilting angle of the transverse bone support portion 20.20'.

However, if a kite is made using the present invention constructed as described above, the angle of the kite to the wind will be different from before because the thread of the kite will rise slightly above the center of the wind pressure, as shown in Figure 8. It becomes more tilted.

This increases the lift of the kite, making it easier to fly upwards, reducing the wind pressure, and allowing the use of thinner threads for flying.

Furthermore, since it becomes possible to use such a thin flying string, the number of kites to be flown can be increased, and the thin string is inexpensive, making it economical.

Further, FIG. 9 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the connecting pieces 18 and 18' are provided protruding from the center of the left and right outer surfaces of the base 15 in the previous embodiment, whereas In this embodiment, the connecting pieces 18 and 18' protrude from the front ends of the left and right outer surfaces of the base 15, and the connecting pieces 18 and 18' are connected to the transverse bone support part 20.
20' is in contact with the side wall of the base 15, that is, the left and right transverse bone support parts 20. Adjust the length in advance so that the angle formed by the left and right transverse bone support parts 20' does not become less than 80° to regulate the tilting angle. is configured to do so.

Note that the other configurations and operations are the same as those of the previous embodiment, so the same parts are given the same reference numerals and detailed explanations will be omitted.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned structure and function, it is possible to use a thin string for flying a kite, and therefore the number of kites to be flown can be increased and inexpensive string can be used. It is economical.
