Definitions

  • This invention relates to novel means for raising, lowering and furling sails on all vessels from the smallest sail-boats to vessels of any suitable length.
  • All other sails on the market today suffer from the following defects, namely, some are labour intensive, that is, they require additional manpower with the attendant problems.
  • Others depend on complicated and highly technical devices to operate their sails. The high initial costs and difficult maintenance problems and failures in a marine environment of these devices make them difficult, if not impossible, for the small vessel owner to use same on his vessel.
  • Other sail units require too much working of the sail, either by winch means or the necessary presence of complicating rigging.
  • This present invention overcomes the past problems by supplying and simplifying the method of furling and settling the fabric forming the sail.
  • the folding mechanism is simple and rugged as opposed to other sail devices utilizing parts with closely machined tolerances, which provide many mechanical failures and problems with attendant danger to crew and attendants.
  • the number 1 illustrates the top and bottom and hinged yardarms.
  • the number 2 illustrates a conventional hinging mechanism.
  • the number 3 illustrates two sliding collars to allow struts 4 to push or pull the yardarms 1 to desired position on the mast 5.
  • the number 6 illustrates the legs of the tri-pod.
  • the number 7 illustrates a cap fitting over the top of the rotatable mast 5.
  • the number 8 illustrates a hydraulic cylinder attached to the lower collar 3 by means and to a spacer bar 8a.
  • the number 9 illustrates a tiller bar welded to a rotating mast 5 to facilitate the rotating of the mast 5.
  • the number 10 illustrates a protective sleeve, disposed over the struts 4 and the yardarms 1, and the sail, (not shown), when in closed position.
  • the number 11 illustrates a nylon bushing inside the cap 7 fitting over the top of the rotating mast 5.
  • the number 12 illustrates a threaded bolt welded to the top end of plate 13 on the mast 5.
  • the number 14 illustrates a nut fitting over the threaded bolt 12.
  • the number 15 illustrates another mounting plate on the deck of the ship or vessel.
  • the number 16 illustrates an access port to attach another nut 14, (not shown), to threaded bolt 12 welded to mounting plate 15 on the deck.
  • a sail, not shown, is conventionally attached to the top hinged yardarm 1 and to the bottom hinged yardarm 1. The invention is then ready to be used.
  • the sail may be furled by actuating the hydraulic cylinder 8 by conventional means, which brings the two collars 3 together on the mast 5, thus drawing the two struts 4 into a closed position, which automatically draws the two hinged yardarms 1 at the top and at the bottom of the mast 5 into a closed position against the mast 5, Figure 3, thus furling the sail, attached as aforesaid to the yardarms 1, against the mast 5.
  • a protective sleeve 10 is provided at the bottom of the mast 5, disposed and adapted to be hauled up and over the furled sail, the folded struts 4 and the folded yardarms 1, holding the sail in a furled position against the mast 5, in a compact protected unit.
  • the sail may be quickly unfurled and set by removing the sleeve and actuating the collars by the hydraulic cylinder to move apart from each other.
  • the mast may be held upright on the deck of the ship by other than the leg means described. It may further be seen that, in case of mechanical failure of the hydraulic cylinder, or in case of emergency, or in the case of the use of this invention in undeveloped countries, where advanced technology may be lacking, the collars of this invention could be actuated by conventional rope and pulley manual means, thus raising and lowering the sail, as described above and resulting in the easy and rapid railing, furling and setting of sails, which is the objective of this invention.
