Abstract

The present invention comprises one functional addition to kite'"'"'s sail material and structural spars. This invention uses a zipper rather than kite sail material pockets to attach the structural spars to the sail material. This invention is specific to the functional kite spars and the sail material that attaches to them. One side of the zipper is attached permanently or non-permanently to kite spars. The other side of the zipper is permanently attached to the kite material. This allows easy disassembly of the kite material from its structural spars. This also functionally attaches the desired portion of kite material to its structural spar without the use of pockets or material stretching.

Claims

1. A zipper that connects a kite'"'"'s structural spars to its sail material.

2. Half of a zipper attached to a kite'"'"'s structural spar for the purpose of zipping on kite sail material.

3. Half of a zipper attached to kite sail material that connects said material to its structural spars.

4. A zipper that functionally attaches kite sail material to its structural spars.
