Powell, 1114 61st St., Kenosha, Wis. 53140 Filed Mar. 17, 1970, Ser. No. 20,321 Int. Cl. A6311 33/20 US. Cl. 46-86 B 7 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An electro-magnetic arrangement for model aircraft, having the ability to retain a toy parachutist until it is desired to release the chutist. This device is controlled through the use of a remote control cable to the craft from the ground and enables the user to drop the chutist while the craft is in flight in order that it may strike the given target area.
This invention relates to devices for model airplanes, and more particularly to a parachutist device for a model airplane.
It is therefore the main purpose of this invention to provide a parachutist device for model airplanes which will utilize magnetic force to retain a toy parachutist to the fuselage of the model airplane until it is desired to release the chutist over a target.
Another object of this invention is to provide a chutist device which will be controlled by a remote control cable from the ground.
A further object of this invention is to provide a parachutist device that will utilize batteries to provide the necessary current to activate an electro-magnetic strip which will be attached to the underside of the aircraft fuselage and the wires extend through the remote control cable.
Other objects of this invention are to provide a parachutist device which is simple in design, inexpensive to manufacture, rugged in construction, easy to use and efiicient in operation.
These and other objects will become readily evident upon a study of the following specification together with the accompanying drawing wherein:
FIG. 1 is a bottom view of a model airplane illustrating the electro-magnetic strip for retention of a parachutist.
FIG. 2 is a view in side elevation showing the model airplane of FIG. 1 with the parachutist attached to the magnetic strip.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the parachutist in flight between the model airplane of the previous figures and a target disc.
According to this invention, a parachutist device for a model airplane 11, is provided with an elongated electromagnetic strip 12 which is secured by suitable fasteners 13 to the underside of fuselage 14. A pair of ferrous pins 15 extend from chutist 16 on the rear side and enables the folded chute 17 to remain in place between the magnetic strip 12 and the back of the chutist 16. The pins 15 are held in place by the magnetic force created by the electro-magnetic strip 12 when current from the batteries (not shown) flows therethrough.
The remote control cable 18 carries the wires through which the current is carried to activate magnetic strip 12.
In use, model airplane 11 when propelled forward by suitable power plant is controlled by remote control cable 18 in a well known manner, however, the circuit is closed through the electro-magnetic strip 12 which by magnetic attraction, will secure chutist 16 against magnetic strip 12 by means of the pins 15, attached thereto. When the user opens the circuit to the electro-magnetic strip 12, the chutist 16 will immediately descend and chute 17 will open to slow down his descent. The user attempts to drop the chutist 16 as close to or on the target 19, which may be placed in any desired location upon the ground.
While various changes may be made within the detailed construction, it is understood that such changes will be within the spirit and scope of the present invention as is defined by the appended claims.
What I now claim is:
1. A parachutist device for model airplanes comprising: a model airplane, an electro magnetically operated means carried by said airplane, means to supply electric current to said electro magnetically operated means, a toy para chutist, magnetically attractive means carried by said toy parachutist for magnetic retention by said electro magnetically operated means and remote control means in electro communication with said electro magnetically operated means to demagnetize the magnetic retention between said magnetically attractive means and said electro-magnetically operated means.
2. The parachutist device as defined in claim 1 wherein said electro magnetically operated means is an electro magnetic strip attached to the underside of the airplanes.
3. The parachutist device as defined in claim 1 wherein said magnetically attractive means carried by said toy parachutist is comprised of at least one ferrous pin disposed on said parachutist.
4. The parachutist device as defined in claim 1 wherein said means to supply electric current to said electro magnetically operated means and said remote control means are composed in part by electric wire means and said source of current is remote from said airplane.
5. The parachutist device as defined in claim 4 wherein said source of current is one or more batteries.
6. Parachutist device as defined in claim 1 further including a target disc.
7. The parachutist device as defined in claim 3 including two spaced apart ferrous pins projecting from the backside of said parachutist and said parachute is disposed in a folded manner between said parachutist and said electro magnetically operated means, whereby when said remote control means is actuated to demagnetize the electro mag netically operated means, said parachutist will drop away from said airplane and said chute will fill with air.
