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:

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.
