Description

The invention relates to aviation.

Known kite (Patent RU 2388655 C1 dated 10/01/2008), containing a dome, dome lines, a bar, control lines, connected to dome lines and a safety bar, power lines, power lines, connected to dome lines.

The disadvantage of this invention is the high danger of piloting the kite under high wind loads, because in the event of a contingency situation and when the pilot disconnects the connection between the kite and the equipment, the kite remains attached to the pilot through a lish, to which considerable efforts can be made. This does not completely protect the pilot. The pilot, in addition to disconnecting the kite and equipment, must, in addition, independently disconnect the safety leash from himself in the conditions of continuing wind loads, which significantly increases the risk of injury, is not always possible, and can lead to significant injuries.

Closest to the claimed device is a kite with handles as a means of control (https://goo.gl/gFZhQK, 05/08/2012), containing a dome, handles, dome lines, trapezoidal sheet, control lines connected to the dome lines, power lines connected with dome lines and handles.

The disadvantage of this invention is the high danger of piloting the kite under high wind loads, due to the fact that in the event of a contingency situation and the pilot clears the control stick, the kite remains attached to the pilot through a trapezoidal beam, to which considerable efforts can be made. This does not allow the pilot to be fully secured, because the wind loads continue to act on the pilot through the trapezoidal sheet, which significantly increases the risk of injury.

The problem that the claimed device is intended to solve is to increase the pilot's safety, reduce the risk of injury and reduce the risks of creating unacceptable efforts on the pilot while piloting the kite.

The technical result, the achievement of which the claimed device is directed, is to ensure the limitation of the loads applied to the pilot to increase safety when piloting the kite.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that a kite with handles as a control means, comprising handles, a dome, dome slings connected to the dome, control slings connected to the dome slings on one side and handles on the other, power slings connected to handles and dome slings The trapezoidal sheet connected to the handles is additionally equipped with an automatic device for limiting the force generated by the dome, which includes a ring, a cup made bottom upwards, a connecting element for connecting to the trapezoidal sheet, the elastic element connected to the bottom of the glass, while the second end of the elastic element is connected with the ring, the hairpin, with the possibility of escaping from the glass when a safe force is exceeded, associated with the ring, on which the attachment cable to the equipment is placed between the elastic element and the pin the pilot.

The invention is illustrated in FIG. 1 - FIG. 2:

FIG. 1 - kite.

FIG. 2 - automatic device to limit the force generated by the dome.

Here:

1 - the dome;

2 - dome lines;

3 - control lines;

4 - power lines;

5 - handles;

6 - trapezoidal sheet;

7 - automatic device to limit the force generated by the dome;

8 - connecting element;

9 - a glass;

10 - hairpin;

11 - elastic element;

12 - ring;

13 - cable attachment to the pilot equipment.

The kite contains handles (5), dome (1), dome lines (2) connected to the dome (1), control lines (3) connected to dome lines (2) on one side and handles (5) on the other, power slings (4) connected to handles (5) and dome slings (2), trapelling sheet (6) connected to handles (5), an automatic device for limiting the force generated by the dome (7), which includes a ring (12), a glass (9), made bottom from above, a connecting element (8), for attaching to the trapezoidal sheet (6), an elastic element (11) connected to the bottom of the glass (9), In this case, the second end of the elastic element (11) is connected with the ring (12), the stud (10), with the possibility of escaping from the glass (9) when a safe force is exceeded associated with the ring (12), on which between the elastic element (11) and pin (10) placed the cable attachment to the pilot equipment (13).

The operation of the device is as follows. When piloting a kite, an aerodynamic force acts on the dome (1), which is transmitted through the dome lines (2) and power lines (4) to the handles (5). The pilot of the kite is controlled by deflecting the handles (5) connected via control lines (3) to the dome lines (2) and the dome (1). In order to automate the disconnection of the connection between the kite and the pilot, with possibly unexpected significant efforts on the trapezoidal sheet (6), due to the action of aerodynamic force, an automatic device was additionally introduced to limit the force created by the dome (7), which automatically disconnects the connection between the kite and by pilot in excess of safe effort. The automatic device for limiting the force generated by the dome (7) is connected to the trapezoidal sheet (6) by means of a connecting element (8) on the one hand and the equipment of the pilot on the other. When the safety force applied to the trapezoid sheath (6) is exceeded, the following occurs: the elastic element (11) is stretched, and the stud (10) comes out of the cup (9) and releases from the structure consisting of the ring (12) and the stud (10 ), the cable attachment to the pilot equipment (13), connected to the trapezoidal sheet (6). This opens the power link between the kite and the pilot, ensuring automatic removal of dangerous forces from the pilot.

The actuation force of the automatic device to limit the force created by the dome depends on the wind conditions of operation, the type of kite used, its surface area and pilot skills, and requires the ability to quickly change the force of the operation. The operative change of the force of the automatic device to limit the force created by the dome is possible by replacing the elastic element with another one previously tared for a certain force. The proposed implementation of an automatic device for limiting the force created by the dome allows the pilot to have a set of several elastic elements and make their prompt replacement depending on the conditions of use.

The claimed device significantly improves safety and prevents injuries to the pilot through the use of an automatic device to limit the force created by the dome, by disconnecting the pilot equipment and the kite when a safe force is exceeded.
