Definitions

  • the invention relates to an upper arm swimming aid.
  • Upper arm swimming aids that consist of one to be placed around the upper arm stripses with inflatable chambers have been known for a long time and are used successfully. For example, such Upper arm swimming aids for children the easy and safe learning of the swimming.
  • the previously known upper arm swimming aids consist of an endless strip of a plastic material that is water and is impermeable to air.
  • the well-known upper arm swimming aid has two inflatable chambers and a non-inflatable section. It will over pushed the swimmer's arm up to the upper arm. After that the inflated both inflatable chambers. It arises on the upper arm of the Floats a buoyancy aid whose non-inflatable section is open the bottom of the upper arm is located while the two are inflatable Chambers right and left to be inflated over the upper arm. At the swimming thus provides a safe prop that is based on weight and age size of the swimmer always for sufficient buoyancy provides.
  • the non-inflatable section comes on the inside of the upper arm to lie so that the arms outside the water are normal to the Upper body
  • an upper arm swimming aid is used to achieve this object consisting of an endless strip of water and air-impermeable material with at least two inflatable chambers and proposed with at least one non-inflatable section that is characterized in that at least one corner of an inflatable Chamber is rounded.
  • the buoyancy aid according to the invention has a much lower one Risk of injury than the previously known swimming aids, because of the rounded corner of the inflatable chamber pointed corners through the The edge of two air chambers collide at an acute angle occur. For example, in the case of different widths of air chambers the corner of the wider air chamber so be rounded up to the width of the narrower air chamber has moved in. When the air chamber is inflated, a gentle one is created Rounding that practically excludes injuries.
  • Upper arm swimming aid are two opposite corners rounded two air chambers. This creates in the area of contact of the air chambers a retracted area, the risk of injury drastically reduced. It can either cover all corners of the air chambers be rounded, or preferably - in the case of two inflatable Chambers and a non-inflatable section - which is away from the not inflatable section lying corners of the air chambers. When inflated Upper arm swimming aid, this affects the corners where the two Collide air chambers at an acute angle. Are both corners behind rounded on the inside, there is an indentation in the upper area. The The connecting bridge between the air chambers is slightly narrower than the width of the air chambers. No sharp corners.
  • the rounding of the corners is preferably thereby achieved that the connecting seam between the inner and outer layer of the endless strip in the respective corner area of the air chamber rounded runs, preferably with a radius between 2 and 5 cm.
  • the endless strip is on a place - preferably in the area of the non-inflatable section to open. This makes it easier to put on and take off the buoyancy aid. It must not to let the air out of the chambers every time so that the Buoyancy aid can be removed.
  • the upper arm swimming aid shown in Fig. 1 is empty. It consists of two inflatable air chambers 1 and a non-inflatable section 2, which has been separated for easier presentation.
  • the upper arm swimming aid consists of a flexible plastic material, for example PVC, polyethylene, or also of rubber or another available material.
  • PVC polyvinyl chloride
  • the upper arm swimming aid can be inflated using the valves 4.
  • the valves 4 are designed so that they can be sunk when the air chambers 1 are inflated.
  • the seams 3 are rounded in the area of the opposite corners 5 of the air chambers 1.
  • the non-inflatable section 6 which arises between the air chambers 1 in the region of the rounded corners can remain between the air chambers or can be separated out. With inflated air chambers 1, it offers further protection against injuries. Between the air chambers 1 there is a web 7 which is narrower than the width of the air chambers and which connects them to one another.
  • Fig. 2 shows the upper arm swimming aid according to the invention in the inflated state.
  • the air chambers 1 are slightly bulged.
  • the valves 4 can be sunk in the air chamber after inflation.
  • the two air chambers 1 meet in the upper region along the connecting web 7 at an acute angle.
  • the non-inflatable area 2 ensures that the lower edges of the air chambers maintain a predetermined distance from one another.
  • the connecting seams 3 run towards one another at an acute angle. In the upper area of the air chamber, however, the seams are rounded. There is no sharp corner, since the two seams do not meet at any point at an acute angle.
  • Section 6 on the right and left in the area of the curves of the air chambers additionally covers this area and prevents injuries
