Definitions
- This invention relates to equipment for water sporting activity.
- the object of this invention is to provide a water-float device which will support the sportsman and enable forward progressive movement while performing a range of interesting and beneficial activities.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a pair of shoe bodies on sun shine protector installed in parallel on the shoe bodies, and the shoe bodies can be operated as a sail upon changing the protector to vertical position.
- DE-A-2625525 describes a water sports device having two elongated floats joined together by means of a longitudinal guide arranged between them in such a manner as not to twist or bend transversely as stepwise forward movements are carried out by the user.
- Other forms of water shoe devices are also known from US-A-4,591,343 and US-A-1,528,309.
- the present invention is defined in the appended claims, and comprises a water float device having two floating bodies connected together to permit alternate forward sliding movement along the water surface.
- the shoe bodies according to the present invention can be joined together to form a raft, and paddles can be used for rowing.
- the present invention comprises a pair of symmetrical shoes.
- the numeral with apostrophe " ' " refers to the component at the left shoe, which is symmetrical to the right shoe.
- the shoe bodies 1 and 1' are of rectangular boards. Each of its frame 2 and 2' is formed with a plurality of rectangular spaces filled with floats 3 or 3' made of buoyant material and a shoe opening 4 or 4' in the middle of the shoe body 1 or 1' for holding a foot. In front of the shoe opening 4 or 4' there is a magnifying glass 5 or 5' for viewing.
- a swinging control plate 6 or 6' is fixed outside the shoe body 1 or 1'.
- the swinging control plate 6 or 6' is incorporated with the shoe body 1 or 1' at the front and rear ends: at positions 7a (front) and 7b(rear) on the bottom and positions 8a(front) and 8b (rear) on the top.
- the swinging control plates 6 and 6' are shown by solid lines, and that shown with dotted lines represent the maximum height which to be adjusted to.
- Each shoe body 1 or 1' has a coupler A or A' at the inner side for coupling of the shoe bodies 1 and 1'.
- the coupler A of the left shoe body 1 has an upper male element 9 and a lower female element 10.
- the coupler A' of the right shoe body 1' has an upper female element 10 and a lower male element 9.
- the left and right shoe bodies 1 and 1' can be coupled together with the couplers A and A' by means of the male element 9 and 9' and female elements 10 and 10' in order to prevent from disengagement of the shoe bodies 1 and 1' during sliding on water.
- Each of the shoe body 1 and 1' has a propelling board 11a or 11a' at the toe and another propelling board 11b or 11b' in the middle.
- a plastic rope 12 or 12' is used to connect the propelling boards 11a and 11b, or 11a' and 11b'.
- the plastic rope 12 or 12' is passing through the toe of shoe body 1 or 1', extending to the top of frame 2 or 2', and then falling down verticallly so that pulling down of the plastic rope 12 or 12' will make the propelling boards 11a and 11b or 11a' and 11b' perpendicular to the shoe body 1 or 1'.
- a control lever 13 or 13' is installed over the shoe body 1 or 1' and at the front end of the frame 2 or 2'.
- a sun shine protector is put over a frame 18 mounted on frame 2'.
- frame 18 with sun shine protector is fixed to the shoe bodies 1 and 1' in parallel, it can protect from direct exposure to rain or sunlight.
- it is fixed to the shoe bodies vertically, it functions as a sail, and the present invention can be sailed after adjustment of the frame 18 according to wind direction.
- a connector 14 at the toe and another connector 15 at the back of the shoe bodies can be used to secure the shoe bodies.
- a seat 16 can be placed on the shoe bodies 1 and 1', and paddles 17 and 17' can be used, too.
- the present invention is a tool to realize our dream of walking on water for sport and entertainment.
- the present invention can be used as a sailboat and a raft, too. It is a tool to provide a variety of water sports, i.e., a novel game-sliding on water.

Claims (3)
- Dispositif de flotteur sur l'eau comprenant deux corps de chaussures flottants symétriques se présentant chacun sous la forme d'un panneau rectangulaire de matériau flottant muni d'une ouverture de chaussure destinée à maintenir un pied, les corps de chaussures étant reliés l'un à l'autre par des moyens d'accouplement permettant d'effectuer des mouvements de glissement alternés, un châssis monté sur chaque panneau de chaussure pour contenir le matériau flottant, et une plaque de commande de balancement fixée au côté extérieur de chaque châssis, dispositif dans lequela) les moyens d'accouplement comprennent un élément supérieur mâle et un élément inférieur femelle montés sur le corps de chaussure de gauche, ainsi qu'un élément supérieur femelle et un élément inférieur mâle montés sur le corps de chaussure de droite,b) les plaques de commande sont montées sur les parties supérieures et inférieures des châssis de façon qu'on puisse les régler en hauteur,c) des panneaux de propulsion rectangulaires sont fixés à chaque corps de chaussure, l'un à l'avant et l'autre au milieu, ces panneaux étant montés pour tourner de 90° de manière à se placer verticalement en provoquant ainsi une force de réaction sur l'eau pour permettre la propulsion vers l'avant, mais à se placer horizontalement pour offrir le minimum de résistance lorsque le corps de chaussure se déplace vers l'avant, etd) chaque corps de chaussure comporte un verre grossissant devant le bout de pied.
- Dispositif de flotteur sur l'eau selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que les panneaux de propulsion sont reliés par des câbles aux leviers de commande de façon qu'en manoeuvrant ces leviers de commande, on fait passer les panneaux de propulsion dans la position verticale pour offrir le maximum de résistance à l'eau.
- Dispositif de flotteur sur l'eau selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un cadre monté de manière à supporter un pare-soleil qu'on peut faire tourner pour l'amener dans une position dans laquelle il fonctionne en voile.
