Winding device for a stunt kite, paraglider or parachute

Abstract

The invention relates to a winding device ( 30 ) for winding up and unwinding lines ( 50 ) of a stunt kite, paraglider or parachute ( 60 ) with at least three reels ( 11 ) for receiving at least one line ( 50 ) of the stunt kite, paraglider or parachute ( 60 ). According to the invention, at least two reels ( 11 ) have their own reel drive ( 14 ) for winding up and unwinding the line ( 50 ) taken up on the reel ( 11 ).

1 . A winding device for winding up and unwinding lines of a stunt kite, paraglider or parachute, comprising:
 at least three reels, each for receiving at least one line of the stunt kite, paraglider or parachute, and characterized in that   at least two reel drives for winding up and unwinding the at least one line taken up on at least two of the at least three reels.   
     
     
         2 . The winding device according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least two reel housings, wherein
 (a) at least two reels of the at least three reels are arranged in separate reel housings of said at least two reel housings, and   (b) at least two reel housings of said at least two reel housings form an interchangeable winding unit, wherein a reel for the interchangeable winding unit is arranged therein with a reel drive for the interchangeable winding unit.   
     
     
         3 . The winding device according to  claim 2 , wherein at least one reel housing of the at least two reel housings is hinged for inserting at least one line. 
     
     
         4 . The winding device according to  claim 2 , further comprising a device housing with at least one holding device, wherein the interchangeable winding unit is attachable to and detachable from the device housing. 
     
     
         5 . The winding device according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one fastening means for detachable attachment to a handlebar of the stunt kite, paraglider or parachute. 
     
     
         6 . The winding device according to  claim 5 , wherein the at least one fastening means is a fastening clip which is attachable to and detachable from the handlebar. 
     
     
         7 . The winding device according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least two reel drives are electric motors which are coupled with at least one energy storage device for operating at least one of the electric motors. 
     
     
         8 . The winding device according to  claim 1  wherein the at least two reel drives are each coupled with an actuating unit for separate control of the respective reel drive of the at least two reel drives. 
     
     
         9 . The winding device according to  claim 1  further comprising
 (a) at least one stripping device assigned to at least one of the at least three reels, wherein the at least one stripping device cleans the line taken up by a reel of the at least three reels during winding, and/or 
 (b) at least one tensioning device assigned to at least one of the at least three reels, wherein the at least one tensioning device tensions the line of the at least one of the at least three reels during winding. 
 
     
     
         10 . A handlebar for a stunt kite, comprising a winding device according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         11 . A paraglider or parachute, comprising a winding device according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         12 . The winding device of  claim 7  wherein the at least one storage device includes at least two energy storage devices, and wherein each of the at least two energy storage devices is coupled to a separate motor of said electric motors. 
     
     
         13 . The winding device according to  claim 1  wherein the at least two reel drives are coupled with a common actuating unite for common control of the at least two reel drives.
