EVERETT E. THAYER, OF JACKSON, MICHIGAN.

KITE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 523,490, dated July 24,1894.

Application iiled March 1, 1894. Serial No. 501,951. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EVERETT E. THAYER, a citizen of the United States of America, reslding at Jackson, in the county of Jackson and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Kites; and-I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked hereom which form a part of this specificaion.

The object of this invention is to provide an improved kite-frame which can be cheaply manufactured and sold at a small cost; and it consists'in a metallic frame made up of three pieces which are bent and connected to each other at the angles, the parts composing the frame having means vfor attaching thereto the binding string or cord and the belly-band, as will be hereinafter fully set forth and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a plan view of a kite-frame constructed in accordance with my invention showing the frames connected to each other. Fig.2 is an enlarged view showing the parts separated, and Fig. 3 is a detail View.

The kite-frame A is made up of three pieces of wire, preferably aluminum, on account of its lightness, and in the preferred form two of the parts, B and B', are bentat the same angle and the members b b thereof correspond in length. The part B2 of the frame is bent to give the proper shape to the upper part of the kite, the members b2 being of the same length. In manufacturing the frame the parts B, B and B2 may all be bent at the same angle so that only one form may be required over which the several parts are bent, and in assembling the parts the angles are brought together in proper position and soldered or otherwise connected.

The ends of the members constituting the frame may be either recessed to receive the binding cord, as shown in Fig. 3, or provided with rings held in place by swaging orupsetting the metal upon the same. The members can also be provided with notches or rings for attaching the belly-band o f the kite tion herein shown, but may modify my invention within the spirit and scope of the claims.

I claiml. As an improved article of manufacture,

a Wire kite frame made up of the parts B, B

and B2, the parts B and B having like angles and members of corresponding length, all the parts being connected to each other at the angles or bends so as to lie on the same plane, substantially as shown and for the purpose set forth.

2. A frame for kites made up of three pieces of Wire which are bent at corresponding angles, one of the pieces having members, as b2, of equal length and the other two pieces each having members of different lengths,v

the parts being joined to each other at the angles of the pieces by solder so as to lie on the same plane, for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in l presence of two witnesses.

EVERETT E. THAYER.
