2 Claims.
This invention relates to a kite having the ying characteristics of a bird, and which has improved take oli and easier control.
Among the objects of my invention is to provide a kite adapted to take oil in the slightest wind and with the slightest elort; to create a kite with extended wings and a tail; to supply a kite having wings pivoted to ap to increase iiyl'ng; to provide a kite easy to control and which has the minimum of pressure and tension on the person iying the same; to produce a kite adapted to do flying stunts within the control of the flyer; to create a kite adapted for flight of unusual height and duration; to supply a kite having the iiying characteristics of a bird and which can be used as a toy, a target or for scientific tests and data.
My invention also contemplates such other objects, advantages and capabilities as will later more fully appear and which are inherently possessed by my invention.
While I have shown in the accompanying drawings a preferred embodiment of my invention, yet it is to be understood that the same is susceptible of modication and change without departing from the spirit of my invention.
Referring to the drawings, Fig, l, is a bottom elevational view of a kite embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is a top elevational View of the same; Fig. 3 is a top perspective View of the same; Fig. 4 is a detailed plan View of the head rod assembly; and Fig. 5 is detailed sectional view on line 5-5 of Fig, 4 of the head rod assembly.
The embodiment selected to illustrate my invention comprises a frame I8 having a vertical head rod I I with a bifurcated lower end portion I2. to the front of which is attached a sleeve I3.
The upper end I4 of tail rod I5 ts within opening I6 of the lower end of bifurcated head portion I2. Tail rod I5 extends downwardly a short distance and is then split into two tail rods I'I and I8 which curve downwardly and outwardly, the distance between them increasing gradually to the Widest distance at their bottom ends.
A pair of wing rods I9 and 26 have their inner ends pivotally mounted in opposite openings of sleeve I3. The wing rods extend horizontally at a downward and slightly inward angle.
A fabric facing 2| is attached to frame I8 as hereinafter set forth. Facing 2| simulatesto some extent the structure of a bird and has an elongated head portion 22 to the upper inner portion of which is attached socket 23 which receives the upper end of head rod Il. Above 2 socket 23, head portion 22 ends in a beak portion 24.
Attached to the lower end of head portion 22 is reinforced throat portion 25 against the inner portion of which rests sleeve |3. Attached to the lower end of throat portion 25 is a neck portion 26 and integral therewith and therebelow body portion 21.
Attached to the lower end of body portion 2l is tail portion 28, which is full skirted. Spaced outwardly curved pockets 29 and 36 are attached to body portion 21 and the opposite upper sides of tail portion 28 and house'the upper and middle portions of tail rods/I1 and |8. The lower opposite sides of tail portion 28 are rolled over and sewed on themselves to form outwardly curved end pockets 3| and 32 holding the ends of tail rods I'l and I8.
The facing 2| has a pair of wing portions 33 and 34 integrally joining body portion 21. Said wing portions 33 and 34 have integral extensions 35 and 36, at their outer ends.
'Attached to the outer ends of extensions 35 and 36 and continuing inwardly on the upper edges thereof and the inner edges of the wing portions 33 and 34 are pockets 31 and 38 which house the greater portion of wing rods I9 and 26.
At the upper and lower inner edges of extensions 35 and 36 are attached upper sockets 39 and lower sockets 40 to receive the opposite ends of strut rods 4| and 42.
Between the inner ends of pockets 31 and 38 of wing portions 33 and 34 and throat portion 25 are downwardly curved spaced openings 43 and 44.
Wing rods I9 and 20 extend across openings 43 and 44.
Guy lines 4`| and 48 extend from the inner ends of pockets 31 and 38 to socket 23. Guy lines 49 and 58 extend from opposite upper sockets 39 to socket 23.
Guy lines 62 and 63 extend from lower sockets 40 to pockets 3| and 32 adjacent their lower ends. Continuing in the same direction as guy lines 49 and 5U are stitched portions 5| and 52 which extend across extensions 35 and 36 from lower sockets 46 to the upper outer corners of extensions 35 and 36 leaving loose flaps 53 and 54 therebelow.
A pair of lead lines and 56 lead from the tops of wing portions 33 and 34 adjacent their outer ends. Another pair of lead lines 5l and 58 lead from opposite sides ofthe tail portion 28 adjacent its bottom end. A fifth lead line leads from throat portion 25. The inner ends of said lead lines are attached to said portions from which they lead. The outer ends of said lead lines are attached to a ring 59 to which is attached a ball or length of cord 60.
In use my kite easily takes off in the slightest wind, The wind moves the wings outwardly to aid in flight. The spring action of thetailf rodsVV i1 and lll-forces the wings back to normal position upon release of pressure. A reinforcement 6I on tail rod I5 at the part of bifurcation prevents pressure from splitting rod l5 into two separate parts.
Having thus described my invention, I'Lclaim 1. A kite comprising a vertical head rod, a tail rod attached at its upper end'to the lower endof said head rod, said tail rod bifurcated to provide a pair of integral spaced outwardly curved lower tail rods, a sleeve attached to the front of said head rod, a fabric facing having a head portion, a reinforced .throat portion attached to the bottornfof said head portion, a body portion attached to thevbottomrof said throat portiona pair of f wingaportions integral with said body portion, andY a .tail portion attached .torbottom of said body portion and extending below said Wing portions, `said .wing portions having outer 4end extensions, the. outer end vofsaid head rod attached to said head. portion pockets attached tothev upperaedges Vof said. extensions and said wing portions, .theiouter ends and portions of said. Wing rods housedin said pockets and the inner ends pivotally. mounted in opposite vvends of vsaid,
sleeves. spaced outwardly curved i pockets attachedto -said .body `portion and saidtail portion,
the lower ends of said spaced tail rods housed in said last mentioned pockets, lead lines leading' on-"their inner ends to said head rod, a facing ...attached to and covering the front of said rods,
said wings being normally held in retracted posi- .ttiorrbyrthe spring action of said tail rod, said wings adapted upon .receipt of wing pressure thereonv to^ move outwardly to flap for flight of 'E1 'ztheV kite,` and lead lines leading from and attached to said facing, and means attached to said lead lines for controlling the kite.
