Definitions
- the launch system of the paraglider with drive The invention relates to light aviation - the system enables a safe and easy start of the paraglider with drive and drive car.
- the paraglider with drive has been started in the following way:
- the paraglider, otherwise called wing was attached to the pilot's harness or directly to the drive car by the ropes terminated with ABC or D belts.
- the pilot unfolds the wings on the ground behind him before takeoff and after the engine has started he holds the "A" belt and the brake in his hand - otherwise called the control.
- There are two or more belts in each paraglider which are connected to the wing's shield cover by ropes, marked in turn as AB or additionally as CD belt.
- the "A” belt is connected to the wing cover by cables along the entire length of the leading edge of the wing.
- the “B” belt is connected to the next row of cables, which is also fastened to the wing cover.
- the "C” belt connected by the additional rows of cables to the wing cover, the brake - otherwise called control connected by rows of cables to the rear edge of the wing cover, intended to control and brake the paraglider.
- the standing thrust occurs, which subsequently brings the drive car with the pilot forward or facilitates the pilot's run.
- the wing cover opens, it becomes stiff, rises above the pilot, who can then release the "A" belt and now only the brakes - control of the paraglider in hand
- the pilot increases speed and can take off from the ground, causing enormous forces that put a strain on the hands.
- the "A" belts block the brakes - controlling the paraglider when the wing cover is opened. It often leads to unsuccessful start attempts because the Wing cover tilts laterally and does not open over the pilot's head, which is the basic requirement for take-off, and furthermore there are no possibilities to correct the position of the wing cover using control cables.
- the invention is a frame or two arms made of metal or Nerbundstoff. It is a rigid construction which is mounted in the north part of the drive car or drive part itself so that the frame or arms are attached to the drive car or to the drive part with the pilot's harness under the attachment point of the paraglider.
- the frame or construction arms are wider than the pilot's car or chest.
- the frame or construction arms are attached at a greater distance (wider) than the attachment points of the paraglider so that they are in front of the point in front of the pilot.
- Length-adjustable strips or ropes are strapped to the frame or the construction arms. They are fastened to the "A" belt with the help of snap hooks right before the start, at the point where they connect to the ropes of the wing leading edge.
- the length of the strips attached to the frame or arms depends on the type of paraglider.
- the strips must be so loose that they should not tighten the "A" belt of the paraglider in any phase of flight because it is dangerous. However, they must be short enough to pull the strips that are connected to the "A" belts to open the paraglider's canopy and open it over the pilot's head without using their hands.
- the strips or ropes which are adjustable in length, are connected to the frame or to the two arms in such a way that the connection point of the strips or ropes to the frame or to the arms on the The height of the upper area of the tensioned strips of the paraglider is in the phase in which the paraglider's covering is above the pilot's head. Two strips attached to the frame or arms are then attached to the "A" belt of the paraglider at the connection point of the ropes to the leading edge of the wing using two snap hooks.
- the invention is a system in which it is not necessary to hold the "A" belt in hand when starting the paraglider.
- Drawing 1, detail AA illustrates the whole system.
- the invention is the frame or the two arms of the rigid construction Regardless of their shape, two adjustable stripes are attached to the "A" belt of the paraglider and are attached shortly before takeoff before their connection point to the car or before the connection point of the pilot with the Drive connected to the "A" belt of the paraglider.
- the construction replaces the pilot's hands and is attached in front of the pilot to the car or the drive part shown in the drawings 1A, 2A and 3 such that the construction strip pulls the "A" belt of the paraglider due to the forward movement and by the pilot running forward or driving the car, the two construction stripes and the "A" belt of the paraglider connected to them trigger exciting forces which open the parachute envelope of the paraglider above the pilot's head and consequently allow the paraglider to lift off the ground.
- the arms or the frame can have any length, width and shape, depending on needs. In the invention, only the idea is important to replace the pilot's hands with the system shown in the description and in the drawing.
