Abstract

A kite comprising a film or envelope shaped body (1), envelope shaped ribs (2) and single string (5) or double strings (5, 5'). Since the ribs (3) of the kite take envelope-shapes injecting gas when in the ribs gas such as air or helium is injected the kite may fly well still more the body (1) of when kite also is envelope the kite may fly well still more. When the kite takes two strings (3) the kite may fly well still more than the conventional kite.

Description

KITE HAVING ENVELOPES AS RIBS

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a kite, more particularly, to a kite

having envelopes as ribs, comprising a body of a kite formed by

plastic film or envelopes (gasbags), ribs formed by plastic

tubes (envelopes : gasbags) and (a) string(s) of one line or two lines.

DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART

Generally, kites take shield-shape or stingray- shape having bended

central parts, wherein they comprise by adhering thin and narrow

branches of bamboos on light and durable Korean paper to intersect

each other crosswise or diagonally, then by punching piercing holes in

the center and by connecting four coners thereof with four strings

meeting with main string of one line in center.

The above- stated conventional kites may fly very well in the sky or

may not and may be easy or may be difficult to adgust the flying directions, depending upon weight of branches of bamboos formed

them, angles adhered them, properties of paper formed them, directions

connected the strings and the likes.

Accordingly, it is very diffcult to make the kites only flying very well.

Thus, as shown in Figure 7, a kite improved the ado ve -mentioned

conventional kites had been disclosed, as a laid-open number 92-2173,

in the title of "a kite injecting air or gas" in the Korean Laid-open

Gazette, on February 24, 1992, wherein the kite consists of a main

body 1 formed by a gasbag (envelope) 1', wings 2, 2 connected by

envelopes slantingly downwards in right and left of the main body 1, a

wing curtain 2' connected said wings 2, 2 and the center of the main

body 1, a tag 3 extended from the lower end of said body 1 and

inserted a valve 3' for injection of gas(air) inside thereof, and a ring 5

for a string 5' formed on the center 4 of said main body 1.

However since said conventional kite has only the main body 1, the

wings 2,2 formed as one gasbag (envelope) 1' without ribs of the kites

and the wing curtain 2' on the lower end of the main bldy 1, said

conventional kite gives only effects as a plastic balloon or a plastic

advertisement balloon(ad-balloon) and cannot give that identical to the

kite. Furthermore, because the strings 5 of the kite also are connected on

the center of the main body 1, direction of the kite cannot be adjusted

optionally and balance of the kite also cannot be maintained uniformly.

In addition, as shown in Figure 8, "a kite of a balloon shape" was

disclosed in Japanese Laid Open Utility Model Gazette sil gae so

49-38390(Laid opened on April 4.1994).

However this also takes a main body 1 of balloon shape, reinforcement

plate 4.4 are connected by an inner rib 5 to separate front and rear

layer, downwards the kite its tag 3 is attached and said kite is flown

by injection of gas or air through an injection hole 6.

Accordingly, this also is difficult to adjust the direction or to maintain

the balance thereof as in "a kite injecting gas(air)"of Korean laid open

No, 92-2173. and gives only effect as a balloon than effect of a kite.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is to provide a kite consisting of a main body of

a kite formed by plastic film or tubes(envelopes), ribs formed by

plastic tubes (envelopes) and (a) string(s) of any one selected from

string(s) of one or two.

Referring to the accompanying drawings the present invention is described in detail as follows ;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a kite having multiple envelopes as

ribs comprising a body 1 made of any one of plastic film or

envelopes (gasbag), multiple ribs 3 of envelope(gasbag)-shape with

valves for injecting gas, supporting said body 1 of the kite, and (a)

string(s) of the kite consisted of one string 5 or two strings 5. 5'.

Said body 1, as shown in Fig 1 and 2, is any one selected from one

cylinder 1 or two cylinders 1,1' made of plastic film, in which in said

cylinders a supporter 8 for keeping the cylinder shape may be structed

in diameter line and said body may be taken any one selected from 4, 6 or 8 ribs in order to dispose symmetrically.

As another example of kite, as shown in Fig 3 and Fig 4, it consists

of a body 1 connected multiple envelopes horizontally and ribs 3 of

straight or π- shaped envelopes.

As another example of kite, as shown in Fig 5, a body 1 of the kite

consists of a double cylinder- shaped envelope 7 that the inner and the

outer walls la, lb of the envelope 7 are connected by partition 11.

As another example of a kite, as shown in Fig 6(a)(b)(c), the ribs 3

are 11 -shaped envelopes and are disposed on both sides of the body 1

formed by film, in both sides of said ribs 3 triangular wings 12, 12'

are extended and on the angular point of said wings ring 2 for the

string of the kite are formed.

As another example of a kite, as shown in Fig 6(d) and (e), in the

kite which said ribs 3 are 11-shaped envelopes and triangular wings

12, 12' are extended, in center of the body 1 of the kite a picture 10

of certain object is printed, or a cubic pattern 9 of certain object is

attached.

As another example of a kite, as shown in Fig 6(f), in the kite which

said ribs 3 are 11-shaped envelopes and triangular wings 12, 12' are

extended, said ribs 3 extended longer in ladder-shape. As another example of a kite, as shown in Fig 6(g), in the kite which

said ribs 3 are 11-shaped envelopes, the upper end of the ribs 3 is

opened to insert subsidiary ribs 3a.

As another example of a kite, as shown in Fig 6(h), in the kite which

said body 1 of the kite is a cylinder made of plastic film or envelope

the outer surface of the kite is covered by a reinforcing net 6.

As described in above, in the kites of present invention which the

envelopes are the ribs and the body is film or envelope, when gas

such as air or helium are injected and it is flown in the sky adjusting

direction or angle of the kite by one or two strings 5 (5'), it has

merits that the buoyancy of the kite is more excellent and adjustement

of direction thereof is more easy than kites made of paper.

Furthermore, in the case of the kite that the body 1 of the kite is a

cylinder and the ribs 3 are envelopes, the direction and level therof

may be adjusted optionally by the string, more particularly, by two

strings 5, 5' direction and level thereof may be adjusted smoothly still

more.

In the case of the kite that the body of the kite is a double

cylinder- shaped envelope 7 and said cylinder is connected by multipll

partition 11, the buoyancy is more excellent and is adjusted easily by the string(s) 5, (5').

Also in the case of the kite that the body 1 consists of multiple

envelopes and the ribs 3 are straight or U-shaped envelopes, because

all of the body 1 and the ribs 3 of the kite are envelopes, adjustment

of the direction thereof is very easy by one string or two strings and

also buoyancy thereof is excellent.

In addition, in the case of the kite that said ribs 3 are 11-shaped or

ladder-shaped envelopes and the body 1 and the wings 12, 12' are

film, since it has a conventional stingray- shape and the ribs are

envelopes it can fly very well in the sky.

Also when a picture of a certain object 10 is printed or a cubic pattern

of a certain object is attached on the kite flying in the sky they may

be very beautiful.

Furthermore in the case of the kite that the ribs are envelopes having

the opened top, since the subsidiary ribs 3a may be inserted or

removed, when the any one of envelopes are damaged it may be

changed.

In addition to, in the case of the kite that the reinforing net 6 is

covered on the body 1 and ribs 3 of the kite it may be protected from

the damage.
