Patent number: 11072431Abstract: A device for launching an object is described. The device comprises a frame affixed to the launch pad, a push element for pushing an object detached from the launch pad, and a flexible force storing element for turning the push element in relation to the frame. The device has a casing fixed to the frame at a fixing point for holding the object in place against the push element. The device has a lock element for locking the casing in standby position. The frame and the push element are superposed and connected to each other at one edge of the device. The frame and the push element are substantially parallel. Force stored in the force storing element is releasable for displacing the push element at a moment of launch. The force storing element may be at least one spring or elastic band or an extension spring.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2017Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: SkyCat OyInventor: Henri Hiisilä

Patent number: 10571906Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for replacing a signal controlling an actuator in a remote-controlled flying device with another signal. A flight controller supplies control signals to a safety device, and the signal to be replaced may be a signal to be transmitted by the safety device to a speed controller of at least one motor, or to a servo unit controlling the same, or the signal to be replaced may be a signal to be transmitted from the safety device to a servo unit controlling legs, a camera rack, a camera, a stabilizing system or an electric motor of the flying device. A replacement signal is a signal stored in a memory of the safety device.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2017Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: SkyCat OyInventors: Henri Hiisilä, Janne Laurinen

Patent number: 9611044Abstract: The object of this invention is a method to shoot an object from a flying apparatus. Into an flying apparatus, into certain part of it, like a container that consists at least of a bottom and a shell a spring will be placed, like a push spring that has been loaded in a tense state and that is locked in this position using a fixing organ and further there will be put as an extension of the spring an object to be shot out from the flying apparatus. The fixing organ is thread, metal cord, bar, strip, rope, line, or some combination of these and tension strength (T) is greater than the tension load of the push force (F) to the mentioned fixing organ. the tension strength (T) of the fixing organ is weakened to be less than the mentioned tension load by heating, burning, or melting the mentioned fixing organ by electric energy when the fixing organ breaks, the spring expands into the direction of the object and the push force (F) pushes the object out of the container and off the flying apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2015Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: SKYCAT OYInventor: Henri Hiisilä
