July 26, 1932. T. w. DE MOTT KITE Filed Feb. 4, 1951 Patented July 26, 1932 r PATENT orries THEROTN' DE Iv'LOTT, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Application filed February 4, 1931. Serial no. 513,323.
7 This invention relates to improvements in kites and more particularly to an aeroplane kite.
One of the objects of the present invention is the provision of an improved aeroplane kite comprising a plurality of miniature sections so constructed that they may be quickly set up ready for use, or knocked down to occupy a minimuin'amount of space for shipping purposes, and wherein the use of bolts, pins, and the like, are reduced to a minimum.
Another object of the present invention is the provision of an improved type of aero- .plane kite, comprising three main sections,
consisting of a horizontal sectional wing section, a longitudinal body frame, and hori zontal tail rudders, with all of the sections connected together in such a manner as to permit them to be quickly detached and to lie substantially flat for packing purposes, and the connecting means is such as to permit the parts to be readily assembled or disassembled.
, With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel features of construction, the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in the claims and shown in the accompanying drawing wherein:
Figure 1 is a top plan View, with parts thereof broken away and illustrated in cross section;
Figure 2 is a detailed front elevation with parts broken away and illustrated in cross section;
Figure 3 is a detailed vertical section through the tail portion; and,
Figure 4 is a detailed plan view illustrating the manner in which the horizontal tail rudders are detachably connected to the longitudinal body frame.
, Referring more particularly to the drawing, it will be noted that the entire kite co1nprises the horizontal body wing 1, the longitudinal body frame 2, and the horizontal tail rudders 3 and 8 The body wing 1 comprises a frameconsisting of the central longitudinal bar 4, the central cross bar and the end cross bars 6. Extending around the wing frame is a supporting cord 7, and engaged over the entire frame is a paper, or other type of covering indicated at 8, which warrants a comparatively light body wing.
T he frame 2 consists of the main horizontal bar 9, and vertical bar 10, with a suitable paper covering 11 arranged over the body frame, as shown in Figure 2. The longitudinal body frame 2 is retained in a substantially vertical position by means of the brace bars 12, the upper ends of which are connected by means of a flexible hinge 13 to the innermost end bars 6, so that these brace bars 12 may be folded up parallel with the body wing 1, as shown by the dotted lines in Figure 2. The lower ends of the brace bars are connected to the vertical bar bymeans of the bolt 14 which passes through the reduced portions 15 of the strap members.
In the construction of the longitudinal body frame, there are one or more of the vertical bars 10 to securely brace this frame, and at the upper ends of these vertical bars, I provide a strap member for each bar generally indicated at 17 The upper end of the strap member is inserted through a slot in the cross bar 5, and the upper extremity of each strap is slit longitudinally to form wings which are bent in opposite directions, as shown at 18 for retaining the bars 10 in an upright position and securing the longitudinal body frame to the body wing.
Secured to the rear end of the body frame 2is aver-tical fin 19 and extending transversely of the rear end of the body frame 2 a cross bar 20 which supports the hori- Zontal tail rudders 3 and 3.
longitudinal bar 9 by means of the hooks 21 attached to the forward ends of the tail rudders and adapted to engage suitable eyes 22 attached to the bar 9 by means of the flexible cords 23.
, It will be noted that the flexible hinge straps 13-are attached to the longitudinal bar 4;by means of the bolts 24, while cross bar 20, which supports the tail rudders is These tail g rudders are detachably connected to the til;
removable bolts 25.
From the above construction, it will be apparent that when it isdesired to takethe kite apart, the hooks 21 are first disengaged from the eyes '22 to relieve the forward ends of the tail rudders 3 and 3. The bolt 25 is then removed from the rear end of'the body frame 2, so that the tailrudders can be quickly detached from the body frame.
The horizontal body wing 1 is detached from the longitudinal body frame 2 by first removing the bolt 14 to disconnect the lower ends of the-brace bars 12, then straightening V the wings 18 so that they can be withdrawn from the 'bar5.. After the body frame 2 and the ,body wing 1 have been detached, the brace bars '12 are folded up against the body wing, as shown by the dotted lines "in Figure 2. V. In view of the fact that the vertically disposed fin 19 lies in a'plane parallel with the body frame 2, it will be noted that the hori zontal body wing 1, the body frame 2 and the tail rudders 3 and 3 can be laid one upon top of the other to occupy a very small space for packing and shipping. purposes. However, when it is desired to set the device up ready for use, the parts can ;be quickly assembled. I
It is believed that due to the simplicity of construction and the manner ofassembling and disassembling the device,.applicant has provided an aeroplane kite which willprove very efficient for the purpose and it can be manufactured and placed on the market at a very-low .cost. I While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it will be .apparent'from the foregoing that slight changes may be made in the construcvertically disposed covered body frame, strap members carried by the'body frame with one end thereof adapted to be extended through the openings in the transverse bar of the body wing, the upper ends of said strap members being slit longitudinally to provide wings adapted to be bent in opposite directions above the transverse 'barto detachably con nect the wing and the body frame, brace rods having their upper ends hingedly connected to the body wing and their lower ends detachably connected to the frame, and horizontally disposed tail rudders detachably connected to one endnof the body frame.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set qmy hand inthe county ofqCook and Stateof Illinois. 7
