Definitions

  • the floating seat with chest-deep seat pants is related to the patent application 103 05 304.2 "Badefate module system" from 10.02. 2003, however, is preferably focused on the use of the bath float as a pure float seat.
  • the background and the basic objectives of the invention are identical to those of the above-mentioned. Patent application.
  • the inventive developments presented herein are directed to improvements aimed at increasing safety and enhancing usability for at least one of the three system complexes: buoyancy system, body-retention system, connection system.
  • Floating seat as a raft-type, inflatable or solid floating body according to DIN EN 13138-3 without drive mechanism with a ring-shaped or frame-shaped structure of the load-bearing structure for the passive-seated admission of a child in the open interior.
  • Floats and positioned in the interior body holding device form a fixed, firmly connected unit.
  • the user's body support is effected by the inflatable body (float) which encloses it relatively narrowly.
  • buoyancy is provided in several air chambers for safety reasons. Predominant are circumferential, immediately adjacent and large overlapping double air chambers.
  • 1st component buoyancy system arrangement of the air chambers of the float; Cross sections, outlines (Drawing set 1, drawing 1.1, sheets 1 to 4)
  • the juxtaposition of the air chambers results in the same internal width to a broadening of the float. This circumstance, however, benefits the static floating stability. At the same time, the diameter of the air chambers can be kept smaller, which reduces the "visual barrier" for the user with low center of gravity.
  • the new form of the air chamber arrangement allows extensive freedom of design with regard to the diameter of the individual chambers and their position to each other.
  • the various outline shapes of the floating body according to the invention in contrast to conventional shapes, a longitudinal extension of the floating body or of the floating body interior.
  • the longitudinal extension in principle, but also the other ground plan shapes, can or may be associated with a tapered in the direction of the user outline shape.
  • the lift distribution in relation to the position of the user is harmonized (approximate equivalence of the volumes).
  • a deep center of gravity of the user in the overall system is desirable for reasons of swimming stability.
  • the problem here is that circulating air chambers in constructions that are based on the prior art, prove to be a visual barrier for the user.
  • the purpose of the floating seat namely to promote familiarity with the water (see DIN EN 13138-3), is counteracted insofar as the toddler (user) finds himself in an environment of Kunststoffofffienien in which it is due to the normative specification of high swimming stability lost the physical and visual contact with the water.
  • the invention therefore provides, in addition to the extended interior (water access below) as an option to taper the float in cross-section forward (conicity, Fig. 1.2.1), thereby lowering the air chamber barrier in the direction.
  • the swimming seat is to serve the habituation of children to the water.
  • the contact with the water and the ability to move should be as intense as possible. Due to the high requirements of DIN EN 13138-3 for floating stability, however, the opposite effect can be observed. Volumes and dimensions of floating seats increase. Thus, the user experiences more and more plastic in the immediate surrounding area and less and less water. Not even the hands can reach over the edge, water is barely visible from the child's position. Water contact is limited to the lower body area and is separated by the tightly enclosing barrier floating seat of more active experiences. In addition, a desirably low center of gravity collides with the large-volume air chambers, which are a visual barrier.
  • the invention includes, in addition to the conicity of the air chambers another feature that the contact with the water at the same time high floating stability, namely a likewise optional longitudinal extension of the float, through which the access to water from the outside of the floating seat is moved to its interior (see Z1 .3, leaves 6 ... 9).
  • the interior can be increased in particular in the longitudinal direction so far that the lost water contact is recovered outside the float in the interior of the chest of the child. That is, the child can experience water with all senses and all limbs and is at the same time secured. It creates a directly accessible "paddling pool" within the float in immediate access.
  • the seat pants (05 a ... c) in question which is designed so deep and upholstered on the upper edge, that the body support on all sides and anatomically correct position, at the level of the nipples guaranteed (s. Drawing set 3, esp. Fig. 3.1 6, page 35).
  • An extension of the interior space in the transverse direction adapted to the body dimensions of the user groups facilitates group formation in connection with the separated body retention system, i. In a constant buoyancy body retention systems can be hung for at least two user levels. The variety of uses increases with decreasing costs.
  • the longitudinal extension of the interior also allows another possible body position, namely a nearly lying, according to the requirements of active swimming learning. It can be taken when the seat pants (05, 06) are equipped with a suitable two-point suspension, which "hangs up" the user almost horizontally within the interior.
  • the passively usable floating seat becomes a partially and fully active swimming aid (drawing 1.3, sheet 9).
  • the floats are preferably inflatable. In principle, however, it would also be possible to form the floats as solid bodies, either as porous bodies, for example as foamed bodies, or else as solid bodies with shaped hollow chambers.
  • Component connection system holding device, suspensions, locks (Drawing set Z2, drawing 2.1, pages 16 to 31)
  • the rocker arm fitting forms a closed eyelet when the suspension is subjected to downward loads, but opens automatically when the direction of pull is reversed (tilting). Due to the length of its eyelet (slot-like) and the design of the storage of the B-arm, the train reversal takes place only after a determinable long movement distance of the suspension. Is an unintentional detachment of the suspension from the hook as long as reliably determined and avoided (s. Z2. 1, page 17, Kent réellessequenzen a) to h)).
  • the rocker arm fitting consists of a foundation plate, preferably welding plate, a slotted bearing block and two movably connected cranked lever arms, arm A and arm B.
  • the pivotally connected at the lower end arms form a U-shaped, articulated arrangement in which the arm A with its upper End in the slotted bearing block is pivotally mounted on a bolt.
  • the upper end of arm B is without fixed storage loose below arm A also between the webs of the slotted bearing block.
  • the bearing block closes in the pivoted state, the otherwise open end of the U-shaped arms A / B.
  • the interior space between the arms (long eyelet) is opened by swing / unfold accessible.
  • the suspension (lacing, strap) can be inserted.
  • the arms A / B are pivoted out of the bearing block, inserted the lacing and then swung the Kipphebelarme back to the closed position. In the use position, the arms or the suspension forces are directed more or less downwards.
  • the toggle fitting works when it is attached to the upper edge of the seat pants.
  • the rocker arms A / B are directed upwards.
  • the deep hook (44) is of particular importance in the suspension system, because this hook in combination with a lacing system represents the simplest and most versatile form of support.
  • the danger of unintentional unhooking of the lacing up out of the hook is avoided by its special features. Deep and resilient stop at the upper end (ball writing clip) of the deep hook ensure secure retention of the body retention system. In case of failure of an air chamber, the hook only sags downwards, but always keeps its holding function. In capsizing, he releases the body-holding system.
  • suspension elements for the breast-deep seat pants hanging freely in the float flexible laces of suitable diameter or straps and straps are used.
  • the material is highly flexible in its nature and suitable for water use. Preference is given to synthetic materials.
  • elastic design of the suspension adjusting mechanisms can be omitted.
  • Rundschnurgummi- or flat rubber suspensions the elasticity of the rubber is so matched with the body weight / buoyancy that set under load sufficiently accurate body positions (center of gravity).
  • An additional correction fitting can be provided.
  • the locking or adjustment fittings are located on the float, on the suspension, on the seat pants or more of these components.
  • a particular advantage of the embodiments a) and b) (sheet 31) is to be able to influence the seat tilt in addition to the height adjustment so targeted.
  • the advantage of embodiment c) is that only one adjusting and locking fitting is needed and handling is simplified.
  • the suspensions for the body retention system are stepped or infinitely adjustable.
  • the invention includes suitable adjustment fittings and detents that operate on the principle of clamping (wedge / spring pressure) and non-positively serve to fix a set height position.
  • the cords (11, highly elastic plastic injection-molded parts) are equipped with thickenings at specific intervals, which grip into profiled closures and lock in a form-fitting manner (see Fig. 2.3.12ff, sheets 27ff and Z2.4 Fig. 2) 4.1 ... 2.4.4)
  • 3rd component body support system chest-deep seat pants and their subcomponents
  • the reversible upper edges of the seat pants can be equipped with buoyant foam / inflatable profiles and can be combined with a variety of suspensions and detents.
  • An advantageous feature is the depth of the pants, which is chosen so that the body-supporting effect is given circumferentially and at an appropriate height (chest height).
  • the body support of the user is thus achieved independently of the air chambers of the float (see drawing 3.1, Fig. 3.1.6, page 35). She is laid in the seat pants.
  • the body-holding system can be hung freely and easily separable (capsule) in the interior of the float. It is - apart from the buoyancy - independent of the float.
  • the height adjustment to the different body sizes of a user's year is about the zig-zag lacing (see German Utility Model 200 19 162.4, floating seat with separable seat element of 19. 04.
  • the zig-zag lacing is designed open, ie there is a separation of the pants in an upper and a lower part.
  • the zig-zag lacing of the height adjustment because of the special depth of the pants (05a) are mounted so that it runs between two suitably spaced, circumferential perforated webs and the intermediate material continuously gathers, but not interrupts (s. Z3.1, sheet 1).
  • the tipping edge consists of a semi-elastic, oval to circular encircling plastic flat profile (see Z3, Fig.3.1.4, page 33), preferably oval profile. Its elasticity and dimensioning are such that it can be intentionally twisted with a certain amount of force. Since it is firmly connected to the material of the pants (textile / film etc.), each tilt causes a piecewise "rolling" or a reduction in the seat depth. Once overturned (caught) it comes to a self-locking, which can be solved only by renewed effort with twisting effect. If the tipping edge (profile) is not attached to the upper edge of the trousers, but approximately in the middle of the course, the same mechanism causes a double winder effect (see drawing 3.1, sheet 5) .
  • the upper edge is then free as a result of the central position of the tipping edge profile, even at this adjustment principle reserve buoyancy on the upper edge of the trouser, so at chest level to install.
  • the Kipprand principle has the advantage of being very simple and getting along without any lacing or other fittings.
  • the suspension is carried out so that the upper portion of the pants at appropriate locations vertical slots (78) has (see Z3.1, sheet 33f) , which extend down to the lower edge of the tipping edge profile and correspond in depth to the desired adjustment.
  • Twisting / twisting process can be carried out with threaded or otherwise fastened lacing (suspension).
  • a notch in the tipping edge profile, where the lacing of the suspension acts, ensures its secure fit (irreversibility).
  • the notch is preferably arranged in a reinforced area of the tipping edge.
  • the seat pants are to be equipped with body-bound buoyancy (safety reserve after capsizing), this is done on the upper edge of the pants and the suspenders (10). All around foam (68) or inflation profiles (69) are integrated into the upper edge (Z3.2, page 37ff). In addition to the correct position and effect in terms of swimming physics, namely at chest height and adequately dimensioned, this circumferential buoyancy bead simultaneously provides a comfortable body padding, especially when bending over and playing with hands and arms in the interior "paddling pool" in front of the chest.
  • the breast-deep trousers with reserve buoyancy are preferably equipped with suspenders to ensure the body bondage of the reserve buoyancy, which in turn can be self-inflating (see 103 05 304.2 "Badefloss Module System” of 10.02.2003).
  • Advantageous is a circumferential buoyancy on the upper edge of the trouser (see Z3.2, page 39; 4o ) or at least close to the upper edge of the pants. Both buoyancy sources preferably provide sufficient emergency reserve buoyancy to keep the user afloat regardless of the actual buoyancy.
  • the upper edge of the seat pants is the use of a semi-rigid upper edge profile (12, 12a / 13) (molded part, extruded part) with a stretched, preferably oval cross-section, which is preferably also shaped in the contour of the body oval.
  • the semi-rigid consistency allows for conformal deformation in a backrest of the user's body.
  • a maximum of three circumferential Kederrillen are formed (see Z33, sheet 42 ges.).
  • Two of the piping grooves lie on top of each other on the outside of the profile, a Kederrille centered on the inside.
  • the outer grooves serve to accommodate suspensions
  • the inner groove takes on as a piping shaped upper edge of the seat pants, which is fed into the Kederrille (25).
  • this oval top edge profile can be used universally for several construction variants. Concentrating on a particular version of the seat pants or their suspension, the number of Kederrillen can be reduced (drawing 3.3, sheet 42 universal / minimal, sheet 44).
  • lifting suspenders are to be used, these should be positioned as low as possible on the back of the seat pants in order to have effective length, ie buoyancy volume.
  • An attachment only on the upper edge of the seat pants would also be disadvantageous because due to the unit width of the seat pants in the case of the smallest user of a user's age a considerable gap (29 mm id body depth / 40 mm id body width, each 5.% to 95.% of a one-year old child , the three-year-old child 32/42 mm) between the body and the edge of the pants would bridge, which would affect the secure fit of the braces seat.
  • This inner pants with suitable design - cushioning material - also fulfill the function of a seat cushion and thus make the entire seat contact area comfortable (see Z3 4 Leaf. 47). If these inner pants should be avoided for cost reasons, the suspenders are already attached within the seat pants just above the buttocks area or even as running around the whole body (see drawing 3.4, sheet 47, 48) arranged, but attached to the "inner bottom" of the seat pants. If a circulating buoyancy body is integrated into the upper edge of the seat pants, the attachment of the suspenders advantageously additionally fixes its position to approximately chest height, in order to ensure a further of the advantages of the deep seat pants, namely the reliable positioning of reserve buoyancy in the upper part of the body (chest) even after capsizing and getting away from the seat.
  • Floating stability Maintenance of dimensional stability in case of failure of an air chamber by new arrangement of the air chambers or retaining fittings. All-round body support independent of the float. Access to water within the stretched float body interior. Unobstructed view at low center of gravity due to conical floats. Multi-seater.
