iMPRovl-:MENT IN Ku'es.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N o. 135,987, dated February 18, 1873.
To all whom it 'may concern:
Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN J. HARDE- AKOPF, of the city Philadelphia, in the county to lace b anv one and mt tooetherin at'ew moments.
"proot', Theklte 1s tirm and compact, and can- The vkite is water and weather not be injured as the common kite can be.
Figure 1 is the kitel complete ready for use, heilig' the front view, showing the. cover. fl his cover is of muslin, linen, silk, or even strong papel', rendered water-proof by an application ot' varnish, &c. It is of ornamental pattern. The part where the stars are marked B is oi' blue, the stars white, gilt, or any fancy color. The spaces C C G are alternate red and white. D is the tail, striped red, white, and blue.
Fig. 2 represents the back View ot' the kite, showing' the manner in which the several parts are joined, d d heilig the two upright supports, and c e c c the two cross-supports.
Fi g. 3 represents the kite, showing each part composing.;l it bet'ore completion. Fig. 4 represents the upright support. Fig. 5 represents a section otone of the cross-supports.
The cover ot' the kite is described above in Y the description ot' Fig. l.
The remaining parts are thus described: The upright support is composed ot' two pieces ot' wood, made thin, and ot' sufficient width `to insure strength to` the kite, this being rcg- `ulated according to the size ot' the kite.
The two pieces'are seen in Fig. 4, d d d d. At about one-third ot' the distance from the top ot' the upper half of this support there are iixed four small pieces of wood upon opposite sides of the support, a space being lel'tbetween them the thickness of the cross-pieces, to be hereafter described, the lower of these two pieces being longer than the other two, as seen at f f, Fig. 4. At the top of the upper half of this support d d there is made agroove to receive the cord VK K. The lower half has also a groove at its extremity to receive the cord KK, as seen in Fig. 3. At the top of the lower half of the upright support d d there is made a cavity or receptacle for. the lower end of the upper half of d ok'made by placing around the upper end of the lower half of d d apiece of tin, and allowing it to project as seen at It, Fig. 4. Attached to the lower end of the support is a wire to receive the tail of the kite, as seen at l in the several figures. The cross-pieces, a drawing ot' one-haltl of which is seen-in Fig. 5, are composed of two pieces of strong wood bent in the form ot' a bow, c e c. Fastened to the inside at equal distances are pills with heads 'i c' c', the object of which is to hold on the cover, it being tastened by means ot' these pins through the holes m m, Fig. 3. At each ot' thev upper ends of these crosssupports there is made aI groove. n, Fig. 3, the exact width of the thickness ot' the upright support d d, Fig. 4. Now, these two cross-pieces are placed end to end and between the pieces ff, Fig. 4, making a tight iixture. This is made more secure by a hook, g, Fig. 5, fastened to the upper end ot' e c, Fig. 5, and going into an eye at the upper end ofthe other piece of c c. piece is the cord K K, Figs. 4 and 5. At the lowerends are two hooks, 0,-Fig. 5, to which the cord K K, Fig. 3, is attached.
The kite is thus put together: Take the two upright supports d d; put the upper one. into the cavity at the upper end ofthe lower halt', then take the cross-pieces c c, Fig. 5;` put one end between ff, Fig. 4; run the cord K K over the top ot' d d, Fig. 4. Then put in the other halt' of e e, as was done bei'ore between ff; fasten all with the hook g. Take the cover;
put the top ot' al d in a 'space at the top ot the cover; button on the cover by putting the pins t' i through the holes m m, and then put the cord K K over the lower end of d d; run the kite-string through two holes in d d out to .the front of the kite; and the whole kite is ready.
VIt will be seen by this that the kite can be carried from place to place, disjointed, andin` There;y
a moment put together ready for use. is perfect elasticity of the cover when'upon the frame.
I claim as newl. The combination jointff c e n g at the upper part of the upright supports.
2. The frame init-s perfect'construction.
