Abstract

The present invention relates to a hydrofoil kit for use with pedal-powered compact boats (1), which is basically composed of two wings, a main wing (3) and a secondary wing, which may be fitted to the boat in order to allow, from a certain take-off speed, the entire weight of the boat and its occupant to be supported by the two wings which raise the entire assembly, enabling the floats to be positioned above the surface of the water, thereby eliminating any hydrodynamic drag on the floats and enabling the craft to attain a high speed. The present invention simplifies the way in which the main wing (3) is attached to the pedal boat (1), enabling same to be easily installed and removed and thereby making it practical in nature.

Description

Relatório Descritivo da Patente de Invenção para "KIT Report of the Invention Patent for "KIT
HIDROFÓLIO". HYDROFOLI ".
A presente invenção refere-se a um kit hidrofólio para ser usado nos barcos compactos movido a pedal de acordo com o PCT/BR2015/050015.  The present invention relates to a hydrofoil kit for use in compact pedal boats according to PCT / BR2015 / 050015.
O kit hidrofólio é composto basicamente por duas asas, uma asa principal e uma asa secundária, que podem ser adaptadas ao barco permitindo que, a partir de uma determinada velocidade de decolagem, todo o peso do barco e de seu ocupante seja sustentado pelas duas asas, que elevam todo o conjunto permitindo que os flutuadores fiquem posicionados acima da superfície da água, eliminando todo o arrasto hidrodinâmico dos flutuadores e permitindo que a embarcação atinja grande velocidade.  The hydrofoil kit consists basically of two wings, a main wing and a secondary wing, that can be adapted to the boat allowing, from a certain speed of take-off, the whole weight of the boat and its occupant is supported by the two wings , which raise the whole assembly allowing the floats to be positioned above the surface of the water, eliminating all hydrodynamic drag of the floats and allowing the vessel to reach great speed.
O primeiro barco movido a pedal e com hidrofólio a sustentar um voo foi o "Flying Fish" em 1983. O "Flying Fish" foi desenvolvido pelos engenheiros norte-americanos Alec Brooks e Allan Abbott. Desde então diversos barcos movidos a pedal e com hidrofólio tem sido fabricados, porém, nenhum obteve sucesso na comercialização.  The first pedal-powered boat with hydrofoil to support a flight was the Flying Fish in 1983. The Flying Fish was developed by American engineers Alec Brooks and Allan Abbott. Since then several pedal boats and hydrofoils have been manufactured, however, none have been successful in marketing.
As embarcações com hidrofólio que possuem maior sucesso na comercialização são movidas pelo movimento oscilatório da asa principal e possuem a característica de não possuírem flutuadores. Uma delas é comercializada pelo nome "Pumpabike", e refere-se à patente US 6,099,369. O condutor fica em pé e empurra com as pernas, de forma cíclica, o suporte dos pés, que transmite esse movimento oscilatório a um hidrofólio que sustenta e impulsiona o conjunto para frente. A desvantagem deste invento consiste no fato de não permitir ao condutor descansar, pois no momento que o mesmo cessa os movimentos cíclicos, o equipamento perde sustentação e afunda.  The hydrofoil vessels that are most successful in commercialization are driven by the oscillatory movement of the main wing and have the characteristic of not having floats. One of them is marketed by the name "Pumpabike", and refers to the patent US 6,099,369. The driver stands and cyclically pushes the foot support, which transmits this oscillating movement to a hydrofoil that sustains and propels the set forward. The disadvantage of this invention is that it does not allow the driver to rest, because as the cyclic movements cease, the equipment loses its support and sinks.
A presente invenção simplifica o modo como a asa principal é fixada ao barco a pedal, permitindo que a mesma seja facilmente instalada e removida, conferindo uma praticidade que não existe nos barcos a pedal com hidrofólio do atual estado da técnica e que impediram seu sucesso comercial.  The present invention simplifies the way the main wing is attached to the pedal boat, allowing it to be easily installed and removed, imparting a practicality that does not exist in hydrofoil pedal boats of the current state of the art and that have impeded its commercial success .

A figura 6 compõem-se de figuras que mostram outra alternativa de como a asa principal pode ser fixada no barco compacto movido a pedal de acordo com a invenção "kit hidrofólio".  Figure 6 is comprised of figures showing another alternative of how the main wing can be attached to the compact pedal boat according to the invention "hydrofoil kit".
O barco compacto movido a pedal (1 ) com o kit hidrofólio instalado pode ser visto na figura 1 .  The compact pedal boat (1) with the installed hydrofoil kit can be seen in figure 1.
A figura 2 mostra as duas barras longitudinais (2) e a asa principal (3). As barras longitudinais (2) são idênticas e possuem dois furos passante (4). Um pino (5) é disposto perpendicularmente à mesma. O pino (5) pode ser do tipo fixo ou pode possuir ajuste de posição conforme ilustra a figura 3.  Figure 2 shows the two longitudinal bars (2) and the main wing (3). The longitudinal bars (2) are identical and have two through holes (4). A pin (5) is disposed perpendicular to it. The pin 5 may be of the fixed type or may have position adjustment as shown in Figure 3.
A figura 4 mostra como as barras longitudinais (2) são instaladas no barco compacto movido a pedal. A barra longitudinal (2) deve ser posicionada com o pino (5) voltado para baixo, conforme a figura 4, e de forma que os dois furos passante (4) coincidam com os orifícios de encaixe (6) da barra de ligação (7). Posteriormente as barras de ligação (7) devem ser inseridas, passando primeiramente pelo furo passante (4) e sendo posteriormente encaixada no orifício de encaixe (6). O processo deve ser repetido do outro lado com a segunda barra longitudinal (2), que deve ser posicionada de maneira simétrica à primeira. A figura 5 mostra como a asa principal (3) é fixada. O tubo (8), que fica posicionado paralelamente à asa principal (3), possui dois furos passante (9) que são encaixados nos pinos (5) presentes nas barras longitudinais (2). Após a inserção, são adicionados contra-pinos (10) que impedem a soltura. Figure 4 shows how the longitudinal bars (2) are installed in the compact pedal boat. The longitudinal rod 2 must be positioned with the pin 5 facing downwards in accordance with Figure 4 and so that the two through holes 4 coincide with the engaging holes 6 of the connecting rod 7 ). Thereafter the connecting rods 7 are to be inserted, first passing through the through hole 4 and being subsequently engaged in the engaging hole 6. The process must be repeated on the other side with the second longitudinal rod (2), which must be positioned symmetrically to the first. Figure 5 shows how the main wing 3 is fixed. The tube 8, which is positioned parallel to the main wing 3, has two through holes 9 which are engaged in the pins 5 present in the longitudinal bars 2. After insertion, counter-pins (10) are added which prevent loosening.
A figura 6 mostra outra alternativa para a fixação da asa principal (3) nas barras longitudinais (2). Neste caso a asa principal (3) não possui o tubo (8), e sim um elemento de fixação (1 1 ) na extremidade de cada um dos suportes (12), permitindo que cada elemento de fixação (1 1 ) seja fixado diretamente na respectiva barra longitudinal (2) com possibilidade de ajuste de posição.  Figure 6 shows another alternative for securing the main wing (3) to the longitudinal bars (2). In this case, the main wing 3 does not have the tube 8, but a fixing element 11 at the end of each of the supports 12, allowing each fixing element 11 to be fixed directly in the respective longitudinal bar (2) with possibility of position adjustment.
