ABSTRACT:
A kite bracket is disclosed whose shape is the combination of an open channel and a triangular pocket. The bracket is used on a kite having a main body formed of a thin flexible material with two leading edges which diverge rearwardly and with a strut attached to the main body adjacent to each leading edge. A longitudinal strut is attached to the main body, located symmetrically between the two leading edges, and a keel is attached to the lower side of the main body, essentially in line with the longitudinal strut. Two brackets are attached to the main body, one adjacent to each leading edge strut. The novel shape of the brackets is intended to receive and support the ends of a cross-strut which holds the kite open in position for flying, as well as to transmit a compressive force from the leading edge struts to the cross-strut.
