ABSTRACT:
A kite having a flying surface of flexible plastic sheet material supported from a single vertical rib and one or more cross-ribs. The ribs are attached to the sheet material at the left, right, upper and lower terminal portions of the sheet material by pockets of flexible material that are bonded to the sheet material. The cross-rib is a solid aluminum rod of uniform diameter which is biased into a symmetrical bend. An adjustable bridle is provided comprising upper and lower bridle members. The upper bridle member also serves as a point of attachment for the cross-rib to the vertical rib. The bridle incorporates centering beads on the end loops of the bridle members. The end loops are received over the vertical rib. The centering beads act to equalize and align the forces transferred to the kite string.
