Description

Paraglider {Paraglider}

The present invention relates to a paraglider, and is configured to be able to change direction by selectively pulling and controlling some of the mountain lines connected to a position just in front of the control line connected to the rear edge of the canopy when controlling for direction change during paraglider flight. , It relates to a paraglider configured to enable fine control during direction change control and prevent unnecessary drag.

Paraglider is a combination of the characteristics of a parachute and a hang glider, and is a manpower glide that allows a person to take off while running without a separate power device, or take off in place and land with two feet after flying.

General paragliders include a canopy in the form of a parachute extending in the transverse direction close to a straight line, lines connected to the canopy to support the load of the aviator and maintaining the maneuverability of the paraglider, and a riser connecting several lines. . The harness, which provides seat and seat belt functions for the flight, is connected to the canopy through risers and lines. In case of an emergency, the harness is equipped with an auxiliary parachute.

Meanwhile, a general paraglider controls the left and right rotation and speed using the left and right control lines installed at the rear of the canopy coupled to the rear edge of the canopy.

For example, depending on the degree to which the pilot pulls the left and/or right control lines, the air resistance at the tip of the canopy's wing changes, and if appropriately controlled, the left and right turns and speed can be controlled.

However, in the conventional paraglider, the control method of pulling the left and/or right control lines is a method of pulling the control line connected to the rearmost side of the canopy, so there is a limitation in that drag (resistance) is largely generated due to a sudden change in air resistance.

To compensate for this, an auxiliary control method was used in which a ball or rod in the form of a handle was attached to the lower end of the line located in front of the control line to pull the line, but a group of lines installed in one transverse position was pulled as a whole. Therefore, it was difficult to control elaborately and there was still a limitation that drag could occur.

The canopy 100 has a shape of a parachute extending in a transverse direction close to a straight shape, and provides a wing function that generates lift.

The harness 200 supports the load of the aviator (H) and provides a seat and seat belt function. The harness 200 is connected to the canopy 100 through risers 400 and 500 and a line 300. The harness 200 is coupled to the aviator (H) through the seat belt (207).

The plurality of ridges 300 may be positioned at any one of two or more lateral line positions (A, B, C, D) divided according to the front and rear positions of the canopy 100 (A, B, C. ,D) is coupled to the bottom of the canopy 100, and distributes the load of the aviator (H) and transmits it to the canopy 100. The transverse line positions A, B, C, and D do not necessarily mean one line, and may be a transverse region extending while having a constant width. 300a, 300b, 300c, and 300d of FIG. 2 denote the lines 300 coupled to the transverse line positions A, B, C, and D of the canopy 100, respectively.

The plurality of left risers 400 and the right risers 500 divide and bundle a plurality of lines 300 according to horizontal line positions (A, B, C, D) to the left or right side of the harness 200. Connect.

400a, 400b, 400c, and 400d of FIG. 2 denote left risers connected to the lines 300a, 300b, 300c, and 300d, respectively.

One end of the left control line 600 and the right control line 700 is coupled to the rear edge 106 of the canopy 100 and the other end extends toward the harness 200, and the left riser 400' at the rearmost position and It is located further behind the right riser 500'. From another point of view, in the description of the present embodiment, the'rearmost position' of the'riser' means a lateral position immediately in front of the rear edge position of the canopy to which the control line is connected (the rearmost riser coupling position).

The left control line 600 and the right control line 700 are kept at a distance from the rearmost riser 400d within a certain range through the control line ring R2 and the connection band 614, and the pilot H grips the end of the control line. A handle 612 is provided to enable a pull/release operation. The unexplained reference numeral M denotes a lateral position of the trailing edge 106 of the canopy 100 to which the left control line 600 and the right control line 700 are connected. Symbol CL denotes the center line of the canopy 100. Reference numeral 104 denotes the leading edge of the canopy 100.

One mountain line 300 is coupled to the main line 302 connected to the left riser 400 or the right riser 500 side and the canopy 100 side, and is branched from one main line 302 in a plurality. It includes a branch line 322. An intermediate line 312 may be included between the main line 302 and the branch line 322.

The lines 300 and the risers 400 and 500, the risers 400 and 500 and the harness 200 are connected through connection rings 490 and 205, respectively.

In addition, a plurality of branch lines 322 branched from one main line 302 are distributed and arranged corresponding to at least one transverse line position (A, B, C, D). In this embodiment, a plurality of branch lines 322 branched from one main line 302 are basically distributed along one transverse line, and along two transverse lines in consideration of the line control characteristics. It can also be distributedly arranged (DC region of Fig. 4).

Stabilizers (S) may be formed on both left and right ends of the canopy 100. The stabilizer (S) is a triangular fabric attached to the side of the canopy and is mainly used to stabilize the paraglider. The stabilizer S is connected to the risers 400 and 500 through the stabilizer row 800.

Through the above structure, the paraglider of this embodiment changes the air resistance of the rear part of the canopy according to the degree to which the pilot H pulls the left control line 600 and the right control line 700. You can control the rotation and speed.

For example, when the aviator (H) pulls the right control line 700, the aircraft turns to the right, and conversely, when the left control line 600 pulls, it returns to the left. When the aviator (H) pulls the left control line 600 and the right control line 700 together, the speed decreases. Conversely, when the pulling state of both control lines is released and lifted upward, the speed increases.

The basic components of the paraglider of this embodiment described above are similar to those of a conventional paraglider.

In particular, the paraglider of the present embodiment includes a basic control configuration using the left control line 600 and the right control line 700, and is located in a position just in front of the control line connected to the rear edge of the canopy when maneuvering for fine direction change during flight. It is configured to be able to change direction by selectively controlling some of the combined lines.

Hereinafter, a detailed configuration of the paraglider according to the present embodiment will be described, focusing on a paraglider of a four riser type. 4 is a schematic plan view of a four riser type paraglider according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 is a schematic side view showing a riser portion of the four riser type according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 10 is an embodiment of the present invention It is a schematic diagram of an auxiliary handle according to an embodiment.

302a, 302b, 302c, and 302d of FIGS. 4 and 7 represent the main lines 302 combined corresponding to the transverse line positions (A, B, C, D) of the canopy 100, respectively. 4 is an excerpt of the right plane state of the canopy for convenience of explanation, and the left side not shown around the center line CL of the canopy 100 has a symmetrical configuration. Reference numerals 312a and 322a denote intermediate and branch lines branched from the main line 302a, respectively.

In the paraglider of this embodiment, the mountain line 300 coupled to the bottom of the canopy 100 at the rearmost transverse line position D is divided into a main line 302d and an auxiliary main line 310, and the auxiliary The connecting portion DC of the canopy 100 connected to the main line 310 is configured to be pull-controlled separately from the connecting portion of the canopy 100 connected to the main line 302d. For example, through the auxiliary main line 310 connected to the left riser 400 ′ or the right riser 500 ′ at the rearmost position, some branch lines 322 ″ are branched, and the some branch lines 322 ″ ) Is configured to enable pull control separately from other branch lines directly connected to the main line 302d through the auxiliary main line 310.

In the case of a 4 riser type paraglider, the lateral line position is divided into a position from the front side of the canopy 100 to the rear side, and thus four lines of the first to fourth lines (A, B, C, D). It is divided by location.

The left riser 400 and the right riser 500 correspond to the first to fourth lines A,B,C,D, and the first left riser 400a to the fourth left riser 400d, Each is divided into 1 right riser 500a to fourth right riser 500d, and four are provided.

The method of classifying risers is not based on the number of physical lines of the risers, but based on the line positions each riser is connected to. For example, in FIG. 7, the risers coupled to the lines 302a and 302a' are physically separated by separate lines, but since both lines 302a and 302a' are coupled to the transverse line position A, 302a lines and 302a' Each riser coupled to the line is classified as a first riser. This classification corresponds to the riser classification method of a conventional paraglider user, and the description of the present embodiment will be described according to this classification method.

Through this configuration, the fourth left riser 400d and the fourth right riser 500d become the left riser 400' and the right riser 500' at the rearmost position. (See Fig. 2)

The auxiliary main line 310 is connected so as to separately pull and control the branch line 322 ″ located at the outermost side from the fourth line position D, which is the position of the rearmost transverse line.

A pulling means 390 is provided to separate and pull the auxiliary main line 310 from the main line 302 so that the branch line 322 ″ located at the outermost side can be separately pulled. The shape of the pulling means 390 is not limited to a specific shape or structure, and may be, for example, a handle-shaped ball or rod.

On the other hand, in the case of FIG. 4, a part of the branch line connected to the auxiliary main line 310 may be included in the third line C, and a part of another branch line may be viewed as included in the fourth line D. In this case, since the branch line 322 ″ of the fourth line D, which is the rearmost transverse position, is connected, the corresponding mountain line is regarded as the auxiliary main line 310.

Through the above configuration, the paraglider of this embodiment allows the pilot H to control the steering by using the left control line 600 and the right control line 700 at the time of general left and right rotation and speed control, and fine direction change. When necessary, the left and/or right auxiliary main line 310 is pulled/released using the pulling means 390, and the outermost side connected to the left riser 400' and the right riser 500' at the rearmost position. It is configured to separately pull the branch line (322'') located in the control.

For example, the pilot (H) controls the left and right steering line 600 and right control line 700 at the same time or only part of the pull control during normal left and right rotation and speed control.

The pilot (H) controls the pulling of the left and right pulling means 390 at the same time when fine speed control is required.

When a fine left and right rotation control is required, the aviator H controls either pulling the left pulling means 390 or the right pulling means 390.

In this way, by a method of pulling/releasing part or all of the branch line 322'' in the rearmost position instead of the control line 600, 700, the present invention has the advantage of improving the glide ratio by reducing the drag (resistance) of the paraglider. to provide. In particular, since the paraglider of this embodiment is configured to selectively pull only some necessary branch lines 322'' rather than pulling the entire riser at the rearmost position as one, a method of simultaneously pulling the entire output connected to the riser or using a control line Compared to that, much more sophisticated and efficient maneuvering is possible.

As a modified example, as the pulling means 390, the auxiliary main line 310 side and the main line 302 side are connected, and any one of the auxiliary main line 310 side and the main line 302 side An auxiliary handle 390 that can pull or pull both at the same time is provided.

For example, from a point 305 where the auxiliary main line 310 is branched from the main line 302, or a point where a riser line connected to the auxiliary main line 310 is branched from the riser line connected to the main line 302 An auxiliary handle 390 connecting the side of the auxiliary main line 310 and the side of the main line 302d may be provided at a position spaced upwardly.

Here, the secondary main line 310'side' refers to the secondary main line 310 itself and the riser line connected to the secondary main line 310 together, and the main line 302d'side' refers to the main line 302 It refers to the riser line connected to itself and the main line 302 together. Through the auxiliary handle 390, the pilot H can conveniently perform fine control of the paraglider as a single handle.

Referring to FIG. 10, connection rings 390a and 390b are formed at both ends of the auxiliary handle 390 and are respectively connected to the auxiliary main line 310 side or the main line 302 side. As a variant, one end or both ends of the auxiliary handle 390 may be bar-coupled to the auxiliary main line 310 side or the main line 302 side.

Through this configuration, the aviator (H) pulls the auxiliary handle 390 when fine speed control is required, but pulls the auxiliary main line 310 and the main line 302d so that a uniform force is applied to the line and connected to these lines. Control so that the connection part of the riser at the end of the canopy is pulled as a whole.

In addition, when the aviator (H) needs fine left and right rotation control, the left or right auxiliary handle 390 is pulled, but the pull is controlled so that the left or right auxiliary main line 310 is more forceful than the main line 302d.

The symbol DC denotes a canopy connection part of the branch line 322'' where fine motion control is performed.

Meanwhile, the riser portion may further include an auxiliary line SL and an auxiliary operation ring R1 for various auxiliary operations. In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the stabilizer (S) may be connected to the risers 400 and 500 through a line instead of a separate line 800.

5 is a schematic plan view of a three riser type paraglider according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a schematic side view showing a riser portion of a three riser type according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3 In the case of a riser-type paraglider, the horizontal line position is divided into a position from the front side of the canopy 100 to the position of the rear side, and the position of the three lines of the first line to the third line (A, B, C). It is divided, and the position of the horizontal line at the rear end becomes the third line position (C).

The left riser 400 and the right riser 500 have a first left riser 400a to a third left riser 400c and a first right riser corresponding to the first to third lines A, B, and C. Each of the risers 500a to the third right riser 500c is provided with three.

Through this configuration, the third left riser 400c and the third right riser 500c become the left riser 400' and the right riser 500' at the rearmost position.

The 3 riser type is a type used by an advanced person who wants to enjoy a sense of speed more than the 4 riser type, and other configurations are similar to those of FIGS. 4 and 7 except that the number of risers is small, and thus redundant description will be omitted.

6 is a schematic plan view of a two riser type paraglider according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 is a schematic side view showing a riser portion of a two riser type according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the case of a 2 riser type paraglider, the transverse line position is divided into a position from the front side of the canopy 100 to a position at the rear side, and is divided into two line positions of the first line to the second line (A,B). , The rearmost horizontal line position becomes the second line position (B).

The left riser 400 and the right riser 500 correspond to the first to second lines A and B, corresponding to the first left riser 400a to the second left riser 400b, and the first right riser ( Each is divided into 500a) to the second right riser 500b, and two are provided.
