Abstract
Description
The invention relates to a floatable tube-type putty with one-hand control.Prior ArtPreferably, inflatable wings without a balance line system are used for winging on the water, which wings are controlled primarily by the user with two hands and the angle of attack is changed, wherein the user is ideally located above the water surface on a buoyant board.Presentation relating to the inventionThe solution of this task, as described in the patent claims, is based on the idea of developing a floatable tube-type putty with a balance line system, which enables the traction power regulation and control by means of one-hand control and flies over the water surface at a relatively short distance and the user can also actuate an inflatable traction dragon by means of one-hand control in the floating state, without a board.Brief Description of the DrawingsThe invention is explained in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments, the figures being schematically represented here. Figure 1 shows the tube-type putty with one hand control according to the invention FIG. 2 shows the tube-type putty according to the invention with single-hand control and additional sailcloth stiffening FIG. 3 shows the tube-type putty according to the invention with single-hand control in a state of increased traction, with an increased angle of attack FIG. 4 shows the tube-type putty according to the invention with single-hand control in the tension force minimized state, with a flat angle of attackDETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE DRAWINGSFIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the tube kit 1 according to the invention with a one-hand bar 7, a front tube 2 and trailing edge 3, and installed simple sailcloth 4, wherein front balance lines 5 run from the tube kit 1 according to the invention in the direction of the front region of the one-hand bar 8, furthermore control lines 6 are fastened to the rear region of the one-hand bar 9, in order thus to transfer the tube kit 1 by different arm and hand movements of the user 14 in a left rotational direction 10, right rotational direction 11 or to change the angle of attack of the tube kit 1 by an upward movement 12 or downward movement 13 of the rear region of the one-hand bar 7.FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the tube kit 1 according to the invention according to the description from FIG. 1, wherein, for stabilizing the simple canvas 4, a canvas stiffening 15 is additionally installed between the front tube 2 and the trailing edge 3.FIG. 3 shows a lateral sectional view of the tube kit 1 according to the invention with a single-handed bar 7, its front tube 2, the trailing edge 3 and the simple sail cloth 4 located therebetween at a high angle of attack, wherein the rear region of the single-handed bar 9 is pulled downward by the lowering movement 13 and the front region of the single-handed bar 8 forms a pivot point, so that the front balance lines 5 do not change their position.FIG. 4 shows a lateral sectional view of the tube kit 1 according to the invention with a single-handed bar 7, its front tube 2, the trailing edge 3 and the simple sail cloth 4 located therebetween at a flat angle of attack, wherein the rear region of the single-handed bar 9 is moved upward by the upward movement 12 and the front region of the single-handed bar 8 forms a pivot point, so that the front balance lines 5 do not change their position.List of reference characters1 Tube Kit with One-hand Control 2 Front Tube 3 Trailing edge 4 Simple sailcloth 5 Front Balance Lines 6 Control lines 7 One-hand bar 8 Front region of the one-hand bar 9 Rear region of the one-hand bar 10 Left Direction of rotation 11 Right Direction of rotation 12 Upward movement 13 Lowering movement 14 User 15 Sailcloth stiffening
Claims
Floatable tube kit with one-hand control (1) consisting of front tube (2) and trailing edge (3), at least one region of simple sailcloth (4) fastened to balance lines (5), not described in more detail, which are fastened to a one-hand bar (7) in the front region (8), and the control lines (6) which are fastened to the one-hand bar (7) at the rear region (9), which makes it possible during flight without a further connection to the user (14) to change the angle of attack by upward movement (12) or downward movement (13) and to carry out the steering movement of the tube kit with one-hand control (1) by a left direction of rotation (10) or right direction of rotation (11) of the one-hand bar (7).Single-handed floatable tubecite (1) according to claim 1, the simple canvas (4) of which can be stabilized with at least one canvas stiffener (15) if necessary.
