Description

Escarpín for diving.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a bootie for diving

Background of the invention

Currently, diving shoes are known  constituted in flexible material endowed with a soul or matrix of fabric that gives them mechanical consistency and cooperates in isolation thermal.

The problem with these booties, on the one hand, lies in that precisely the fabric they incorporate retains moisture, moisture that cooperates in transmitting cold to the user and affect their joints if you do not remove the booties. Since it is not Frequently take off your boots if you have not finished diving, since otherwise they would cool even more, if the diver simply want to change zones is inevitably affected by this problem.

Another problem that equally have the current booties is that the perfect one is not achieved tightness of its mouth, so that water enters and, above all, User urine coming from the legs of the suit scuba diving, circumstance that favors the proliferation of fungi and irritations.

Likewise, although some current booties they incorporate reinforcements in their sole, these reinforcements do not have very good non-slip conditions so they do not protect from slips to the user, who frequently walks or walks through humid areas. They also do not grab well in the heel of the fin.

These inconveniences are remedied by bootie of the invention.

Description of the invention

The bootie of the invention has a optimal constitution that remedies the problems described.

According to the invention, the bootie is consisting of a body shaped sock based on material flexible essentially waterproof or hydrophobic and elastic, endowed of a sliding internal coating to favor its insertion or foot extraction.

A first particularity of the invention It consists in constituting the chewing gum neoprene, material that meets all the above requirements and that is also smooth by outside, reducing friction with water and facilitating drained from the water, and rough internally, getting a decreased feeling of cold

Another improvement that the invention proposes consists in incorporate into the mouthpiece of the bootie a means liquid retention elastics, which will prevent water or urine of the user accessing the ankle area, especially sensitive to the proliferation of fungi and irritations, athlete's foot, etc. These elastic retention means consist essentially of a ring internally provided with an air chamber, and stuck in continuity to the mouth of the escarpment. This ring will adjust with the ankle preventing the entry of the described fluids previously.

Finally, the bootie incorporates reinforcements in its most conflictive areas: the plant on the outside and the heel, which are the parts most exposed to rubbing when walking the user and due to the heel of the fin. These reinforcements are they constitute by means formed by elastofibers resistant, such as Lycra®, and reinforced and with latex dots and / or resistant and adherent silicone, which will improve the Non-slip conditions of these reinforcements.

Brief description of the drawings

Figure 1 shows a side view of the bootie of the invention.

Figure 2 shows a view of the two halves which set by way of example the boot of the invention.

Figure 3 shows a section by III-III of Figure 1.

Description of a practical embodiment of the invention

The boot 1 of the invention is constituted entirely in bubble gum neoprene, elastic and hydrophobic material, Smooth on the outside and equipped with micro-roughness 2 on the inside. Since it does not carry a matrix or soul of tissue, it has a greater flexibility and buoyancy and does not retain moisture so Get out of dry water immediately because of its hydrophobic conditions. In addition, being smooth on the outside facilitates the draining of water and It shows less friction with water. Due to the rapid drying and / or drained, the sensation of cold diminishes when leaving the water and does not affect the joints, as in the case of the booties Traditional

Inside the body of the bootie incorporates a coating 3 that improves the sliding to insert or remove the foot. Mainly this coating materializes in flexible and sliding paint, which ensures a very contact Direct neoprene with the skin and the comfort and maintenance of the optimum thermal conditions for the user in waters cold

In a variant embodiment of the invention, not represented, suitable for warm or warm waters, this coating materializes in textile, such as curl cotton.

The thickness of the neoprene will preferably range. between five and seven millimeters, depending on whether its use is intended to warm or cold waters respectively.

In this non-limiting example of the invention the body 4 of the bootie is constituted by two halves 4a glued each other with proper glue, usually liquid neoprene, although it could materialize in three or more pieces.

Another main feature of the invention it consists of incorporating into the mouth 5 of the body of the boot of elastic retention means 6 that prevent the entrance of urine or water, preserving against the cold and avoiding the fungal proliferation or irritations in the ankles and feet as well as well as bad smells.

These retention means materialize by means of a sheet 7 of neoprene of a somewhat lower thickness, ideally two and a half millimeters, folded over itself setting in between an air chamber 8 that acts as a mattress and prevents access of liquids through the mouth of the escarpin The bent piece is bevel cut to the appropriate size at its ends 9, which stick together forming a ring 10 which in turn sticks to the mouth of the escarpment body.

Finally, at the bottom of the escarpment you incorporates a reinforcement 11 or reinforced lycra® sole with stitches of latex and / or derivatives of resistant and adherent silicone or similar, to avoid wear when walking on the ground and promote greater comfort and grip. Equally in the heel, and to preserve this area of friction with the heel of the fin, it there will be a reinforcement 12 of the same material.

Describe sufficiently the nature of the invention, as well as how to perform it in practice, should be noted that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are susceptible to modifications of detail as long as they do not alter the principle fundamental.
