Definitions

  • the invention relates to bathing leisure articles and swimming learning aids. It includes so-called swimming seats for toddlers to stay on the water, the water feature and water habituation.
  • the boundaries between water feature and learning process are fluid.
  • the usual swimming age is, however, reached only at the age of 5 to 10, so that with the known "baby swimming seats", which are intended for the first to third year, the main group of swimming students is barely reached.
  • swimming aids such as water wings, breast-swimming belts, life jackets, swimming suits, etc., which are firmly worn on the body and position the buoyancy specifically in the chest, shoulder, neck area
  • the swimming seat is a hybrid product.
  • both elements of a raft and those of body-worn buoyancy means are combined. It is a raft, which is "attracted", one could say, in order to bring the double character of the product to the point. This is precisely the problem of conventional floating seats.
  • Typical problems of a boat / raft such as capsizing, floating stability, position of the center of gravity, righting etc. are associated with garment problems such as fit, sizing, ease of getting in and out, etc.
  • garment problems such as fit, sizing, ease of getting in and out, etc.
  • the direct interaction and dependence between user and device are critical.
  • capsize which must be expected as an emergency, accidents and serious security problems have occurred in the past. They consist essentially in the fact that the body comprising the floating body with their integrated seat structures led to jamming of the body in the swimming pool.
  • the bathing raft has an interface that interconnects a buoyancy structure and a garment-like body-holding module such that in normal use the person supported by the body-holding module is securely carried by the buoyancy structure, but in the event of capsizing, separation from the then tilted buoyancy structure is ensured ,
  • the known from the utility model interface design is taken for a development of the invention in reference.
  • DE 200 19 162 U1 also discloses a body-holding module, which is adaptable to different body sizes and thereby makes an improvement in the center of gravity in terms of stability and thus capsizing. The improvement, however, limits.
  • the invention provides solutions for individual and also groups of the abovementioned problems, thus contributing to the improvement of the safety and functionality of bathing products, including swimming-pooling aids.
  • a first object of the invention is to reduce the risk of the capsule of raft-like products. This idea of prevention particularly applies to the use of these products by toddlers and children who are not yet able to help themselves.
  • Another, second task is to reduce the risk of drowning, should the bathing raft be capsized.
  • Yet another, third task is to increase the functionality and variety of use of a bathing raft and, consequently, the development of the largest possible target group or new target groups for such a bathing raft.
  • a Badefloss module system provides "downwards" security, extension of use at the given product and functional level as well as further development into completely new application areas and target groups.
  • the invention provides with the bath float problem solutions for two major problem areas: improving safety and extending the usability;
  • the latter if the Badefpion is preferably equipped as a modular system with at least two different body modules that can be used alternatively.

  • Variants of the rigid are the semi-rigid and the segment construction, preferably foam segment construction.
  • the buoyancy body (s) are formed as a flexible structure (s), but at least one or more frame members connected thereto are rigid components.
  • the segment construction is based on at least one closed-pored buoyancy body, preferably a closed-cell foamed molding, which is preferably used several times.
  • four position variants of such a buoyancy body can form the segments of a rectangular, for example, square frame.
  • the segments are interlocked at overlapping points and fixed together with loose-fitting bolts. Arches integrated into the segment together form a round interior for the body support module.
  • the bathing raft comprises as subsystems a buoyancy structure, a body support module and a connection system. All three subsystems form a functional and safety-related unit, but in terms of design they preferably each represent separate subassemblies, which in turn can have a number of design and conceptual variants. In changing combinations and equipment, they result in a modular system that can be expanded in a modular manner from very simple and cost-effective variants to sophisticated designs and / or to more advanced security levels and new uses.
  • the buoyancy structure is preferably frame-shaped with a passageway that forms an opening to the water.
  • the float (s) framing or framing the passageway, the frame preferably being circumferentially formed, but need not be circumferential.

  • the frame can be inside, d. H. for the access, and / or outside polygonal, in particular rectangular, or round, in particular as a circular ring, be formed.
  • the body-holding module is held centrally in the walk-through.
  • Base floating body "A" of the flexible and all rigid constructions are preferably intended for passive-dormant use.
  • the buoyancy volume is such that the user's body dips into the water as far as the nipples. So only the weight of the upper body has to be carried.
  • additional buoyancy is provided for safety reasons - failure of an air chamber - and as a reserve for rebuilding from 120 ° tilt angle.
  • Basic floating body “B” is larger in volume and dimensions, because it can be equipped, for example with a swing or pendulum rod (14/15), in which the user can protrude very far out of the water, so the load capacity of the buoyancy structure must be greater , Base B is equipped with appropriate additional fittings and can be supplemented by membrane bottoms 01 or 02 (Z1.4).

It is designed so that the support structure is attached approximately at waist level on the clothing by pulling the piping strip in the Kederrille. With or without holding structure, there is hardly any movement impediment. If the Berglembepal be used independently of the bathing raft, the Kedereducation the inner interface is released. By using a height-graded double-edged spring an additional height adjustment can be achieved (see Z1.4.1, page 3). The piping does not have to revolve around the entire body.

  • the height adjustment of the interface in the center of the outer frame is effected by pivoting the pivot arms with the floats (29/32 in Z1.4.3) in different positions. Panning towards the lower position causes the interface to rise, towards the upper one to lower. Depending on the pivot position, the interface dives deeper into the water or even gets out of this.

Without being able to foresee the real dynamics of such capsizing, it is conceptually assumed that it places the bathing float in a turbulent rotational motion superimposed on an accelerated forward movement. In this case, thanks to the preferred interface, loose connection between the user and the bathing raft will cause the user to be practically thrown out of the float, while the residual buoyancy concentrated in the chest, neck and shoulders will prevent the head from sinking Keep water in. Outside help can intervene.
