Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
111 words
A wing support for model aircraft comprising: an elongated member, a wing-edge-engaging bight portion formed at one end of said elongated member, a fuselage-engaging portion formed at the other end of said elongated member, and holding means formed at each end for temporarily firmly connecting the wing support to a wing and fuselage of a model aircraft so that the wing is held in a position with the chord thereof at an angle of between 30* and 90* relative to a wing saddle formed on the fuselage, whereby connection and adjustment of interrelated components between the wing and the fuselage can be made while the wing is supported on the fuselage.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
111 words
A wing support for model aircraft comprising: an elongated member, a wing-edge-engaging bight portion formed at one end of said elongated member, a fuselage-engaging portion formed at the other end of said elongated member, and holding means formed at each end for temporarily firmly connecting the wing support to a wing and fuselage of a model aircraft so that the wing is held in a position with the chord thereof at an angle of between 30* and 90* relative to a wing saddle formed on the fuselage, whereby connection and adjustment of interrelated components between the wing and the fuselage can be made while the wing is supported on the fuselage.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
56 words
The wing support for model aircraft as set forth in claim 1 wherein said holdng means is a hook formed at the wing-edge-engaging bight portion and a hook formed at the fuselage-engaging portion, whereby resilient elAstic elements can be connected to said hooks and about the fuselage to hold the wing support bracket firmly in place.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
The wing support for model aircraft as set forth in claim 1 further including adjusting means positioned along said elongated member to adjust the length thereof and thereby change the distance between the wing-edge-engaging bight portion and the fuselage-engaging portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
59 words
The wing support for model aircraft as set forth in claim 3 wherein said elongated member is formed of two discrete lengths of rod material, said lengths being maintained in substantially parallel side-by-side arrangement, and said adjusting means is formed of a collar having a pair of spaced apart apertures slidably to receive said discrete lengths of rod material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
The wing support for model aircraft as set forth in claim 4 wherein said collar includes locking means for locking said discrete lengths together to prevent inadvertent relative movement therebetween.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
The wing support for model aircraft as set forth in claim 1 further including a resilient sleeve over said wing-edge-engaging bight portion.
