This invention relates'to sliding device for sails which, in comparison with the commonly used devices, facilitates considerably the hoisting and taking in of sails ow 5 ing to'its special construction. According'to the invention a guide bar is fixed along the mast and sliding bodies are I movably mounted in said bar the sail being attached to pins rotatably mounted in said sliding bodies. 1
7 An embodiment-of the invention is shown by way of example, on the accompanying drawing in which.
7 i Fig. 1 shows the device inside elevation.
I Fig. 2 is a front elevation showingpart 'of the device on larger scale than in Fig. 1.
JFig. 3 is a cross section of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a side'el evation of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 shows in cross section a modified ar- 20 rangement according to which the guide bar is sunk into the mast, this arrangement be- 7 ing preferably designed for gaff-sails.
Fig. 6 shows in elevation the device as shown in Fig. 5 used for attaching a gaff sail. y
According to the invention a guide bar 6 is fixed'along the mast a. In this guide bar I) a sliding bodies care movably mounted which have each a rotatable pin cl; Each pin d has "eyes f at the upper and'lower ends to which the sail is'attached. Collars g at the'upper and lower ends of the pins 03 serve to guide the sail when it changesits position so that the sail can freely move and does not come in contact with the slide a. p I 7 In order to ensure an easy movability of the sliding bodies 0 inv the guide bar I), i.- e. to ensure a movement free from friction, the sliding bodies 0' have each preferably lateral 'ends which are of circular cross-section so tion are reduced'as much-as possible. 1
horizontal studsje near the upper and lower 7 As the'pins d to which the'sail isat-tached Q can freely rotate the sail can freely'swing in lateral directions. i
The improved sliding device can beused for high sails without gaff and'for gaff-sails. l/Vhen this device is used the space between the sail and the mast is narrower than with any of the commonly, used-arrangements.
Owing to the narrowest possible gap between q shown in Figs. 5 and 6 when the device is to be used for gafi-sails in order that'the gaifshoecan freely slide up anddown'themast. .-I claim :-'-v "00 1. A sliding device for sails comprising in combination with the mast, a guide bar fixed on the mast, sliding bodies 'movably i mounted in said guide bar; a pair of" studs 1 on each of saidsliding bodiesv arranged the 5 one above the other and slidablyenga'ging with said guide bar, alrotatable pin ineach Y of said sliding bodiesand two'eyes fixed on said pin to which eyes the sail is attached.
2. A sliding device for sails co1npris-;70 ing in combination with the n1ast,a guide f bar fixed on the mast, sliding bodies mov ably mounted in said guide bar," a pair "of studs on each of said sliding bodies arranged the one above theother and 'slidably engaging with said guide bargla rotatablepin in I each ofjsaid sliding bodies, two eyes fixed onsaidpin to which eyes the sail is attached,
and a collar on each rotata'blepin for preventing the sail when sliding to come in con '8 p tact with said sliding bodies.
In testimony whereofI aflix my signature.
