IMPROVEMENT IN KITE-FRAMES.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Be it known thpt I, JCSIAH SIIEPARD, of' New'Britain, in the county of Hartford, and State of Connecticut, haveinvented, made, a'nd applied to use, a certain new and useful Improvement in Kite-Frames; andIdohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the said invention, reference'being had to the annexed drawing, making part `of this specification, wherein- Figure 1 is au elevation of thekiteframe complete,und Figure 2 is a separate view of the saddle. The object of my invention is to'provide a light and strong frame adapted to being taken apart and put in a small compass for transportation. v
The said invention consists in a frame of tempered steel or metal ribs, secured by a centrall saddle-piece, lthrouforh holes in which the metal ribs are passed, and I makel use of small tips, to which is attached the cord that borders the kite and sustains the edges of the thin paper or other fabric. The ribs con be sprung out of the tips and withdrawn from the saddlefpiece, so as to ,be packed together, and the -covering can be rolled up or folded. By this construction the kite can be made very durable, and can be carried with ease to the most convenient place for lying it and there put together.
A In the drawing, a is a saddle-piece, formed of thin sheet metal, and perforated with two holes for each rib, so that said ribs may be passed through the holesand intersect each other, the saddle being bent so. asto allow one rib to pass by the other. These ribs b b and saddle a are to be of a proper size in proportion to the kite, and the ribs made of tempered steel or other wire. The tipsc c are small pieces ofbone or metal, each having a hole to pass the cordel that borders the kite, und a hole to receive the end of the rib. l
The mode of constructing the kite and taking it apart for transportation or putting it together for use will be apparent from the foregoing. i
AAt the holes where the cords forming the belly-band are tied to the'ribs small washers of thick paper should be attached to the covering of the kite to prevent'the same tearing, and the cords themselves may he extended to the respective tips and there made fast, tu: prevent the loop slipping along on the smooth metal rib.
What I claim,'and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is 1. A kite-frame formed of ribs of tempered steel ormetal wires, as set forth. 2. The saddle-piece a, made iu the manner as set forth, for receiving the wire ribs, as specified. 3. The tips made with holes for the cord forming the border of the kite and with holes for receiving` the ends of the ribs, as set forth.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my signature this sixth day of April, 1867.
