Definitions

  • the present invention relates to sails and in particular to a method of making sails which are formed primarily in one piece.
  • the known method of making sails is to take lengths of woven or plastic sheet material, and cut them into configurations so that when sewn together there Is provided the aerofoil shape which Is necessary to propel the boat.
  • a sail In order to attach a sail to the boat it is generally suspended from a mast by a connection at its head.
  • the clew and tack representing the other two corners complete the basic attachment. Eyelets are located In the head, clew and tack of the sail.
  • the eyelets are points of high stress concentration and the sail must be heavily reinforced about the areas in which the eyelets are located with several layers of material. Each layer being individually sewn onto the sail in an increasing radial area.
  • the luff and foot of a mainsail is usually reinforced and Include a bolt rope which secures the luff and foot of the sail to the mast and boom respectively in a continuous manner.
  • This method of constructing sails is labour intensive and thus expensive. Also, it is extremely difficult to reproduce the same sail dimensions and aerofoil shape due mainly to the human factor.
  • forming apparatus to produce a formed film
  • said apparatus comprises: a flexible forming bed having an upper surface which is capable of being manipulated from a flat surface to form a smooth curved three dimensional surface, wherein said bed may simultaneously have different areas of convex and concave curvature; manipulation means adapted to vary the shape of the bed surface, said manipulation means comprising a plurality of bed adjustment means which are attached to the underside of the bed; said plurality of table manipulation means arranged in a matrix, each table level adjustment means being capable of manipulating a localized section of the forming table; the apparatus further comprising a computer operated control system adapted to control and operate said manipulation means, wherein said control system may operate said manipulation means and hence produce substantially any desired shape with the surface of forming table.
  • a method of producing a formed film wherein: a forming liquid is poured onto an upper surface of a forming table, wherein said forming table is manipulated into a desired first shape by a manipulation means; wherein the liquid, by virtue of its viscosity, a predetermined volume, and confinement means to restrict the flow of said forming liquid, is allowed to form into a predetermined film thickness and shape; gelling the liquid; distorting the upper surface of the table to a predetermined shape; curing the gel to a set state and removing the set article.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of the film forming apparatus, showing one configuration of the forming table;
  • Figure 2 is an enlarged schematic perspective view of of a further co ⁇ firuration of the forming table of the film forming apparatus of Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 3 is an enlarged schematic sectional view of the film forming apparatus of Figure 1.
  • the forming table 11, is preferably a flexible material capable of being manipulated into the desired degrees of curvature without experiencing plastic deformation.
  • the upper surface 12 of the forming table is preferably very smooth (i.e. with low surface friction) to allow a synthetic forming liquid 13 to flow freely.
  • the table may also be formed of a composite structure having say a compressible, flexible material on the underside affixed to a flexible material forming the upper surface.
  • the manipulation means 20 comprises a plurality of level adjustment means, for example, hydraulic rams 21, are slidably attached to, and support, the forming table 11. Each hydraulic ram 21 is connected to a computer operated control system 22, 23 through a control loop, wherein each ram 21 is capable of being accurately positioned with reference to a datum plane.
  • the computer 22 wherein the three dimensional desired shape is stored, determines what position each ram 21 should assume, the control system 23 operates each ram 21 to move to the required position, and hence the flexible forming table 11 may be manipulated into substantially any desired shape.
  • the hydraulic control of the rams may of course be replace by worn drive adjustment means or other equivalent systems.
  • the computer can also determine the volume of liquid necessary to provide the desired resultant film thickness. This calculation can then be used to control a metering pump 40 which feeds 41 a liquid dispenser 42 from reservoir 43. Generally, a mul ti-nozzled distributor is used to ensure a uniform distribution of the liquid:
  • the operating procedure of this apparatus is as follows:
  • the forming table 11 is manipulated by the manipulation means 20 into a substantially flat shape whereupon a synthetic forming liquid 13 is poured onto the forming table and allowed to flow and form a "pool" by virtue of a confinement means 14 which provides a "wall” to stop the flow of liquid and confine the shape of the liquid film generally to the desired sail shape.
  • the amount of forming liquid 13 poured onto the forming membrane 11 is predetermined so as to produce the desired film thicnness.
  • the manipulation 20 means is able to shape the forming membrane so that some areas of the sail have Increased film thickness to provide the required varied strength characteristics of different areas of the finished sail as shown in Figs 1 and 3. These areas are typically at the clews, luff, lech and foot.
  • the forming liquid When the forming liquid is in the required shape and film thickness, it is then caused to become a gel (i.e. high viscosity fluid).
  • the computer operated control system then operates the hydraulic rams 21 to manipulate the forming table, and hence the gel film, into the desired shape of the sail.
  • the gel film may then be cured (or set) whereupon a formed film of the synthetic material is produced.
  • This apparatus provides a means for manufacturing a improved type of sail, wherein the strength characteristics of the formed film material are multi-directional, and does not require the time consuming and costly operations involved in making a correctly shaped sail from conventional material.
  • This apparatus is also capable of forming areas on the sail where the film thickness is increased. These areas can include areas where a sail experiences high stress, and in areas where it is required for the sail be self supporting, that is, an areas of increased film thickness may be provided and positioned in such a way to have the same strengthening effect as batterns have in a conventional woven material sail. Alternately, additional pre-formed materials such as "Kevlar" reinforcing strips or batterns can be laid in the mould at the desired position prior to gelling of the liquid.
  • liquid to be used depends upon a number of considerations, many of which relate to using the least expensive formulation which has the necessary strength and durability to achieve the desired result. Generally, the selection would be made from that group of compounds based on polyurethane polymers. The preferred ones would be those wherein the cross-linking of the polymer can be delayed until it is activated by controlled means such as heat or ultra-violet or infra-red radiation.
  • the method, apparatus, and product of the above described embodiment produces an improved sail, and greatly reduces the time and labour involvement in producing this improved of sail when compared to a conventional woven material sail and the method of producing such a sail.
  • the one apparatus can quickly be altered to accommodate different sizes and cross-sectional shapes enabling the mass production of a wide variety of sails.
  • this apparatus can be used to form not only flexible items such as sails but rigid or semi-rigid curved panels from resinous materials, fibre-glass type materials or other plastics.

Abstract

Le procédé et l'appareil décrits servent à former de voiles à partir d'un liquide réparti dans un moule (10). Le moule se compose essentiellement d'une surface plane pouvant être déformée selon un dessin à trois dimensions, dont un ordinateur (22) commande la forme finale. Ledit appareil peut également être utilisé pour la production d'objets solides ayant des configurations à courbes complexes.
