Description

The invention relates to aviation, in particular to paragliders.

Known kite (Patent RU 2388654 C1 dated 10/01/2008), containing a safety device in the form of a kite attachment element with a pilot.

The disadvantage of this invention is the high danger of piloting the kite under high wind loads, because in case of an emergency situation, the pilot must unhook the cable attachment to the pilot equipment to release the kite, which significantly reduces the safety of the pilot, is not always possible and may cause significant injury.

Known security device (Patent RU 2388655 C1 dated 10/01/2008) connecting the kite and the insured pilot.

The disadvantage of this invention is the high danger of piloting the kite under high wind loads, because in case of an emergency situation, the pilot must unhook the cable attachment to the pilot equipment to release the kite, which significantly reduces the safety of the pilot, is not always possible and may cause significant 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 the automatic device for improving the pilot’s safety when piloting a kite, automatically disconnects the connection between the kite and the pilot when safe forces are exceeded, contains a ring, a cup, made bottom up, a connecting element, connected to the bottom of the glass, while the second end of the elastic element is connected with the ring, the studs, with the possibility of escaping from the glass when exceeding the safe effort associated with the ring on which ezhdu elastic member and a pin arranged fixed to the cable Gear pilot.

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

FIG. 1 - kite with an automatic device to increase pilot safety when piloting a kite.

FIG. 2 - automatic device to increase pilot safety when piloting a kite.

Here:

1 - dome (wing);

2 - dome lines;

3 - control lines;

4 - power lines;

5 - central line;

6 - bar;

7 - automatic device to increase pilot safety when piloting a kite;

8 - connecting element;

9 - a glass;

10 - hairpin;

11 - elastic element;

12 - ring;

13 - cable attachment to the pilot equipment.

The kite with an automatic pilot safety enhancement device when piloting the kite contains a bar (6), a dome (wing) (1), dome lines (2) connected to the dome (1), a central line (5), control lines (3), connected with dome slings (2) on one side and a rail (6) on the other, power slings (4) connected to the central sling (5) and dome slings (2), an automatic pilot safety enhancement device for piloting the kite (7), fixed between the center line (5) and the kite-pilot equipment containing the yu consisting of a ring (12), a cup (9), made bottom from above, a connecting element (8), for attaching to the central line (5), an elastic element (11) connected to the bottom of the glass (9), while the second the 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 the safe force associated with the ring (12) exceeds, on which between the elastic element (11) and the stud (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 (wing) (1), which is transmitted through the dome lines (2) and power lines (4) to the central line (5). The kite pilot is controlled by deflecting the bar (6) connected through control lines (3) with dome lines (2) and a dome (wing) (1). In order to automate the disconnection of the connection between the kite and the equipment, with possibly unexpected significant efforts to equip the pilot, due to the aerodynamic force, an automatic pilot safety enhancement device was added when piloting the kite (7), automatically disconnecting the connection between the kite and the pilot when exceeding safe effort. The automatic pilot safety enhancement device when piloting the kite (7) is connected to the central line (5) by means of a connecting element (8) on the one hand and the pilot equipment on the other. When the safety force applied to the pilot equipment is exceeded, the following occurs: the elastic element (11) is stretched, while the stud (10) exits the cup (9) and releases from the structure consisting of the ring (12) and the stud (10), the cable attachment to pilot equipment (13) connected to pilot equipment. This opens the power link between the kite and the pilot, ensuring automatic removal of dangerous forces from the pilot.

The operation force of the automatic pilot safety enhancement device when piloting a kite 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 triggering force. A quick change of the force of the automatic device to increase the pilot’s safety when piloting the kite is possible by replacing the elastic element with another one that is pre-calibrated for a certain force. The proposed implementation of an automatic pilot safety enhancement device when piloting a kite allows the pilot to have a set of several elastic elements and make their quick replacement depending on the conditions of use.

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

Claims (2)
