Abstract
An assembling structure for main wing of a model airplane. The main wing is composed of a left wing and a right wing. The mating faces of the left and right wings are disposed with complementary engaging seat and engaging block which are mated with each other and tightened by a conic screw. Therefore, the left wing and the right wing can be quickly firmly assembled to form the main wing. The screw can be easily untightened to quickly disassemble the left wing from the right wing for easy carriage or storage.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an assembling structure for main wing of a model airplane, which permits the main wing to be quickly firmly assembled or disassembled for easy carriage or storage.
FIG. 4
shows a conventional assembling structure for main wing of a model airplane. The main wing
70
is composed of a left wing
71
and a right wing
72
. The mating face of the right wing
72
is disposed with a connecting post
721
and a connecting plate
722
. The left wing
71
is formed with a connecting socket
711
and a connecting way
712
corresponding to the connecting post
721
and the connecting plate
722
of the right wing
72
. The connecting post
721
and the connecting plate
722
can be respectively fitted into the connecting socket
711
and the connecting way
712
to associate the left wing
71
with the right wing
72
. An adhesive tape is wound around the periphery of the mating section of the wing face to bind the left wing
71
with the right wing
72
.
When disassembled, the adhesive tape
73
must be first torn away so as to separate the left wing
71
from the right wing
72
. In the case of strong adhesion of the tape
73
, the left and right wings
71
,
72
can be firmly associated with each other. However, it is difficult to tear away the tape
73
. Reversely, in the case of weak adhesion of the tape
73
, it is easy to tear away the tape
73
. However, the left and right wings
71
,
72
can be hardly firmly associated with each other or even will separate from each other during flying of the model airplane.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide an assembling structure for main wing of a model airplane. The main wing is composed of a left wing and a right wing. The mating faces of the left and right wings are disposed with complementary engaging seat and engaging block which are mated with each other and tightened by a conic screw. Therefore, the left wing and the right wing can be quickly firmly assembled to form the main wing. The screw can be easily untightened to quickly disassemble the left wing from the right wing for easy carriage or storage.
According to the above object, in the assembling structure for main wing of a model airplane of the present invention, the mating face of the right wing is disposed with a connecting post and an upper reverse angle connecting plate. The left wing is formed with a connecting socket and a connecting way corresponding to the connecting post and the connecting plate. At least a front section of the mating face of the right wing is disposed with a projecting engaging seat. The engaging seat is formed with a perpendicular conic hole passing through a bottom face of the right wing. A middle portion of the engaging seat is formed with an engaging recess parallel to the wing face. The left wing is formed with a receptacle corresponding to the engaging seat of the right wing. The left wing is formed with a projecting engaging block corresponding to the engaging recess of the engaging seat of the right wing. The engaging block is formed with a conic hole corresponding to the conic holes of the engaging seat and having equal coning. The conic hole of the engaging block passes through a bottom face of the left wing. When the left and right wings are mated with each other, a conic screw can be screwed into the conic holes to lock the left wing with the right wing.
The present invention can be best understood through the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:

is a sectional assembled view of the main wing of the present invention; and
FIG. 4
is a perspective exploded view of the main wing of a conventional model airplane.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Please refer to
FIGS. 1
to
3
. The main wing
10
of the present invention is composed of a left wing
11
and a right wing
12
. The mating face of the right wing
12
is disposed with a connecting post
121
and an upper reverse angle connecting plate
122
. The left wing
11
is formed with a connecting socket
111
and a connecting way
112
corresponding to the connecting post
121
and the connecting plate
122
.
The front section of the mating face of the right wing
12
is disposed with a projecting engaging seat
123
. The engaging seat
123
is formed with a perpendicular conic hole
124
passing through the bottom face of the right wing
12
. A middle portion of the engaging seat
123
is formed with an engaging recess
125
parallel to the wing face.
The left wing
11
is formed with a receptacle
113
corresponding to the engaging seat
123
of the right wing
12
. In addition, the left wing
11
is formed with a projecting engaging block
115
corresponding to the engaging recess
125
of the engaging seat
123
of the right wing
12
. The engaging block
115
is formed with a conic hole
114
corresponding to the conic holes
124
of the engaging seat
123
and having equal coning. The conic hole
114
passes through the bottom face of the left wing
11
, whereby when the left and right wings are mated with each other, a conic screw
13
can be screwed into the conic holes
124
and
114
to lock the left wing
11
with the right wing
12
.
The engaging seat
123
and the engaging block
115
are made of relatively hard wood material so that after the engaging seat
123
and the engaging block
115
are respectively engaged in the receptacle
113
and the engaging recess
125
, the conic holes
124
and
114
with equal coning will communicate with each other. An aluminum-made screw
13
can be screwed thereinto to firmly fix the engaging seat
123
and engaging block
115
and firmly associate the left wing
11
and the right wing
12
to form the main wing
10
. When disassembling the main wing
10
, the screw
13
is untightened to quickly disassemble the left wing
11
from the right wing
12
for easy carriage or storage. When tightening the screw
13
, the coning thereof can accurately tighten the conic holes
124
and
114
. When untightened, the coning thereof permits the screw
13
to be quickly untightened.
The above embodiment is only used to illustrate the present invention, not intended to limit the scope thereof Many modifications of the above embodiment can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
