Abstract
A wind sensor device consisting of a plurality of light weight, flexible, high tensile strength filaments attached to and depending from a malleable elongated body structure, such as a wire. The filaments are blown by the wind, thus indicating direction. The flexible body structure is used to attached the device to a hunter's rifle, gun, bow, tree, or other nearby object such as a branch, thus freeing the hunter's hands for other tasks.
Claims34
A device for indicating airflow direction comprising an elongated body structure having a plurality of high tensile strength synthetic filaments, wherein the synthetic filaments are aramid fibers selected from the group consisting of fibers of poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide, and fibers of co-poly-(paraphenylenel3,4′-oxydiphenylene terephthalamide).
A device for indicating airflow direction comprising an elongated body structure having a plurality of high tensile strength synthetic filaments, wherein the synthetic filaments are formed by attaching a single aramid yarn to the body structure and substantially separating the single aramid yarn into its constituent synthetic filaments.
A device for indicating airflow direction comprising an elongated body structure having a plurality of high tensile strength synthetic filaments and a storage container comprising complementary joining members into which the device for indicating airflow direction is inserted, the joining members forming a containing space capable of enclosing the device for indicating airflow direction when in a closed joining configuration.
A device for indicating airflow direction comprising a body structure formed of a malleable material exhibiting sufficiently high plasticity wherein the body structure is bendable to retain a plurality of configurations and a plurality of synthetic filaments affixed to the body structure, wherein the synthetic filaments have a breaking tenacity over about 350,000 PSI.
A device for indicating airflow direction comprising:
- (a) an elongated body structure formed of a malleable material exhibiting sufficiently high plasticity wherein the elongated body structure is bendable to retain a plurality of configurations;
- and
- (b) a plurality of synthetic filaments affixed to the body structure in relatively close proximity each other.
