Definitions

  • This invention relates to apparatus and a method of using the apparatus applicable to a sport now known as board sailing but commonly referred to as "wind surfing”.
  • the problem to which this invention is related is a difficulty associated with holding the sail in a required position over a period of time.
  • the difficulty is that in the event that the rider wishes to release the rope from engaging within the hook, he mus ' t first release the tension and thereby relocate the rope from ' around the tongue of the hook to effect the release.
  • a further problem relates to a difficulty that when a rider Is engaged in a racing competition,, there is some difficulty in having to disengage the rope from the block very quickly, and it is conventional that prior to intending to go about, the hook must be disengaged thereby anticipating such a manoeuvre.
  • the invention in one form can then be said to reside in an arrangement providing for support assist ⁇ ance of a board sailer sail by a rider where this includes a hook secured to the rider, and a rope having ends secured in spaced apart relationship to a control rail providing a loop engaging with the hook, the arrangement being characterised in that a hook member of the hook can be released to a non-hooking position to release the loop by effecting a selected relative movement of the hook with respect to the rope loop.
  • the invention can reside in a hook so adapted to effect a release when such relative motion occurs or it can reside in the combination of a rope shaped so as to effect a triggering of a hook with a hook so adapted to effect this release with such circum ⁇ stances occurring.
  • the invention then could be said to reside in a hook adapted to be secured to the body of a board sailer rider and including a base, and a hook member secured to the base in such a way that the hook member can be retained with the base, in either a hooking position or a non-hooking position, and holding means with the hook adapted to hold the hook member in a hooking position the hook being characterised in that the holding means are adapted to effect release of the hook member from a hooking position upon inclusion through the hook of a member of greater than a selected width.
  • the rope can either be made to have thicker portions and thinner portions so that in a normal hooking position the thinner portion engages the hook whereas with release, the thicker portion is pulled in to the hooking location so as to trigger the release of the hook member.
  • the setting of the position of the thicker as compared to thinner portions of a rope can be well within any rider's discretion.
  • the invention can further reside in a specific form of the hook so that this can reside in a hook adapted to be secured to the rider of a board sailer at or about his chest and including a base to be held by straps against the chest of this rider and a hook member pivotally supported by the base member, and holding means constituted by a release lip arranged to interlock with a portion of the hook member to hold this in a hooking position, but to be divertable against resilient pressure to allow the hooking member to be released from the hooking position, and resilient means to urge the hooking member back into a hooking position after being released therefrom.
  • the hook be secured to the rider so that the one hook can be used on either side of the sail and accordingly, the invention can reside in an arrangement in which there is a hook secured by harness to a rider and adapted to engage by hooking a rope the ends of which are secured to a control rail of a board sailer, the hook being adapted to be released from a hooking condition by reason of engagement of trigger means secured to each side of the hook but on or with the rope such that by location of the hook with respect to the rope in the vicinity of the release member, this will effect release of the hook from a hooking position.
  • each release member can be adjustably secured and made to provide the release mechanism upon coincidence of the position of the release member with the hook.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a perspective view of a two people board sailer with a rider using the rope assistance with respect to the hand holder surrounding the sail of the board sailer
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of the assembly according to this preferred embodiment according to this invention showing the Hawaiian Harness fitted however to a hook showing a rope modified according to this invention passing therethrough
  • Figure 3 is a cross section along the lines of 33 of Figure 2 without however the straps so as to assist in clarification of the illust ⁇ ration.
  • a board sailer 1 which has a board 2 and a sail 3, the sail having a forewardmost mast -4 and being surrounded by a hand holder 5.
  • the rider 6 has secured around his chest and over his shoulders the Hawaiian Harness 7 to which against his chest is located a hook 8.-
  • a rope 10 Adapted to pass through the hook shape and be engaged by the hook member 9 of the hook 8 is a rope 10 which is secured at its ends 11 at spaced apart locations on the hand holder 5.
  • the hook 8 which is adapted to be held against the chest of the rider 6 includes a base 12 and outwardly extending tongues 13 between which is pivotally supported the hooking member 9 constituted by a leg of tortuous hook shape which has secured
  • the position of the hook member 9 is governed by support by the pivotal support provided by pin 15.
  • the resilient tongue 17 is secured at a lowering by means of rivet connection 19 to the base 12.
  • abutment members 21 Secured so as to protrude into the otherwise open hooking space 20 are abutment members 21.
  • the rope adapted to engage through the hook
  • the distance between the inner side of the concave shape of hooking member 9 and the outer periphery of member 21 is such that with the smaller diameter portion of the rope therebetween this will leave the resilient member 17 which acts as a trigger member in the interlocking position so as to ensure-maintenance of the hooking position of the hooking member 9 as shown in Figure 3.
  • the resilient member 17 acts as a trigger member in the interlocking position so as to ensure-maintenance of the hooking position of the hooking member 9 as shown in Figure 3.
  • the spring 16 will automatically return the hooking member 9 to a hooking position by returning the end 18 to an interlocking position with respect to the resilient member 17 after release of the tension of any rope otherwise held within the hooking shape.
  • the hook mechanism in itself provides for a very economic and practical way of providing for this mechanism and overall the invention provides for a significant improvement in relation to the sport and apparatus for board sailing or like sports including using similiar devices for sailing on land and even ice.

Abstract

Crochet a ouverture rapide destine a etre fixe au harnais de l'utilisateur d'une planche a voile. Le crochet facilite le brossage de la voile en accrochant une boucle d'une corde frappee sur le wishbone de la planche a voile. Le crochet (9) pivote depuis la position d'accrochage jusqu'a la position d'ouverture lorsque l'utilisateur deplace la corde dans le crochet de facon telle que les parties plus epaisses de la corde appuient sur des organes d'appui (21), forcant la languette elastique (17) a liberer le crochet qui pivote, passe a travers la fente (25) entre les organes (21) et relache la corde.
