20100288175 | CONFORMAL ROLLER FURLER ASSEMBLY AND METHOD - A roller furler assembly for furling a sail where the luff is vertically or diagonally supported by a stay cable. The assembly includes a hollow drive shaft longitudinally aligned around the stay cable adjacent to the luff. A drive mechanism is coupled to the lower end of the drive shaft. Integrally formed or connected to the drive shaft is a torque input device that connects to and re-enforces a portion of a hollow, flexible sail edge device fitted over the middle and upper sections of the drive shaft. The sail edge device includes a longitudinally aligned slot or track that directly connects to a beaded edge attached to the luff. The length of the torque input device is approximately 5%-25% of the stay cable and sufficient so that when the drive shaft is rotated, torque or rotational force is applied directly to the section of the luff located perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the torque input device and near the sail's geometric center. The sail's geometric center is normally within the area of the sail where the sail's surface area and camber is greatest. When the drive shaft is rotated, the upper and lower sections of the sail edge device not directly engaged by the torque input device are able to axially twist thereby keeping the sail taut and aerodynamic. | 11-18-2010 |
