HENRI PEUVOT, OF PARIS, FRANCE.
KITE.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRI PEUVOT, trader, a citizen of the French Republic, residing at 40 Rue Brunel, Paris, France, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Kites, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to improvements in kites, and it resides primarily in the production of a kite constructed in such a manner, first, that it shall possess flying qualities of a high order; second, that it may be employed successfully in shooting; and third, that it may be readily rolled up and transported in that form.
A practical embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a plan view of the improved kite. Fig. 2 is an edge view thereof. Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the kite in action.
Reference being had to said drawings, and to the letters marked upon the same, it will be seen that the kite comprises a plane surface a, cut out practically in accordance with the outline in plan of a soaring eagle, and a flexible cellular system b, which, in the illustration shown, consists of triangular prisms. The surface (1 forms one face of these prisms, which latter are united along the edge opposed to the face in question by a longitudinal rod 0, the ends of said rod having connected thereto a cord 2.
The construction above described has proven from experiments to be extremely efficient in action, and is especially well adapted for shooting purposes either on land or at sea. In the former instance, the kite is moved comparatively close to the ground, so as to frighten the animals and cause them to seek their lairs; in the latter instance, the cord Z is pulled at intervals, thereby producing a flapping movement of the wings of the kite, and in consequence, attracting the gulls and other birds, which will approach it through curiosity.
The frame of the kite proper is composed of the following parts, namely, a longitudinal rod (2 which stiffens the surface a along its center line and is connected at its extremities with said surface by means of sockets d, the sockets being secured thereto by perforated lugs, or eyes formed integral therewith; two other longitudinal rods 0 dis- Speeification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 502,079.
posed along the superior edges of the aforementioned prisms and connected with the surface a by terminal sockets a; flexible transverse rods f and g bracing the head and tail, respectively, each of said rods being hinged at one end to surface a and removably mounted at its other end in a socket, (not shown); two flexible rods h disposed in hems formed along the front edges of the wings, and pivoted at their inner ends to the front sockets 6, their outer ends being removably mounted in sockets /L', a transverse rod b for bracin the rods it near their inner ends, this red being mounted similarly to the rods f and g; and, finally, two oblique and intersectin rods 2', for stiffening the wings transversel removably mounted at their ends in sockets 2", the sockets for the outer ends of the rods bein located adjacent the tips of the corresponc ing wings, while those for the inner ends thereof are located at the rear portions of the opposite wings. The rods 0, (l, e and 2' are preferably C011- structed of bamboo, and the remaining rods of light steel. Connections between the rods 0 and 2', in the form of rings j, are preferably employed.
When it is desired to roll up the kite prior to its transportation, it is only neces sary to successively remove the various frame rods f, g, h, and 2' and to detach rods h from the sockets h in the order named, after which the surface a and said rods 11, together with the cellular system b can readily be wrapped around the center rod (Z.
I claim as my invention:
1. The combination, in a kite, of a flexible plane surface comprising a body portion and distended wing portions; a longitudinal brace rod attached to said body portion; and
a plurality of rodsfor bracing said wing said plane surface comprising a longitudinal rod attached to the body portion thereof,
and a plurality of rods connected to said body and wing portions, said plurality of rods being removable, to permit said surface and said cellular system to be Wrapped around said longitudinal brace rod.
3. The combinatiomin a kite, of a flexible plane surface comprising a body portion and distended Wings; a pair or parallel longitudinal brace rods removably connected to the body portion; removable transverse rods for bracing the ends of said body portion a removable rod for bracing the front edges of the Wing portions; rods arranged at said edges for supporting the same; removable intersecting oblique rods for bracing said Wing and body portions; and a longitudinal brace rod fixed to said body portion, and adapted to have said plane surface and edge-supportingrods wrapped therearound when said removable braces have been detached.
4. The combination, in a kite, of a flexible plane surface comprising a body portion and distended Wings; a pair of parallel eeaaee longitudinal brace rods removably connected to the body portion; removable transverse rods for bracing the ends of said body portion; a removable rod for bracing the front edges of the Wing portions; rods arranged at said edges for supporting the same; removable intersecting oblique rods for bracing said Wing and body portions; a flexible cellular system attached directly to said plane surface; and a longitudinal rod fixed to the body portion of said plane surface and adapted to have the latter, said edge-supporting rods and said cellular system Wrapped therearound when said removable braces have been detached.
in testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of tWo subscribing Witnesses.
