Abstract

Rescue device for swimming pools; characterized in that it comprises a flattened platform, of flexible material, formally and dimensionally chord with the surface of the pool opening, provided with ballasts or weights that keep it submerged in inoperative position on the bottom of the pool, and which presents, at least in its outline, an inflatable chamber connected, through a swelling duct, with a pressurized air supply means operable by means of a switch or actuator, to cause the filling of the inflatable chamber, the rise by flotation of the platform and the elevation of the user or users to the surface.

Description

Rescue device applicable to swimming pools.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a rescue device applicable to swimming pools that allows to help safely to people who are in difficulties during the use of the pool.

Background of the invention

During the use of the pools is Often dangerous situations occur, with risk of drowning, for different reasons, including: not knowing how to swim and physical problems of the user, good type permanent or sporadic, produced by the appearance of known muscle ramps or accidental impacts that may cause dizziness or even momentarily loss of knowledge.

Although the presence of lifeguards is currently common in public use pools, the aforementioned danger situations continue to occur. Often the presence of other people without specific knowledge of rescue, in addition to not resolving the danger situation, causes in some cases that these people try to make a failed rescue also jeopardizing their
lives

Therefore, the technical problem that arises is the development of a rescue device applicable to swimming pools, that allows to rescue those people effectively and safely that are in danger, without the need to enter the pool, and therefore without the operation of rescue supposes an additional risk in the danger situation since existing.

Description of the invention

For this, and according to the invention the pool rescue device comprises a platform flattened, of flexible, formal and dimensionally consistent material with the surface of the pool hollow, provided with some ballasts or weights that keep it submerged in an inoperative position on the bottom of the pool, and which has at least one contour inflatable chamber connected through a swelling duct to pressurized air supply means, operable by means of a switch or actuator, to cause the filling of the inflatable chamber, the ascent by flotation of the platform and elevation of the user or users to the surface.

In an embodiment of the invention the platform it is constituted by a net or mesh conveniently fixed to the inflatable contour chamber, allowing net holes the passage of water to the lower area during the elevation of the platform.

In a second embodiment of the invention the platform is constituted in its extension by a plurality of inflatable chambers among which are defined holes for the passage of water to the lower area during elevation.

Pressurized air supply means they can be a compressor or an air accumulator compressed.

According to an embodiment of the invention the device comprises lateral guides for the guided displacement of the platform during its elevation in the Pool interior.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive a set of drawings in which, with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

- Figure 1 shows a plan view top of an exemplary embodiment of the device of the invention placed in a pool.

- Figure 2 shows an elevation view of the rescue device in inoperative position and with cameras deflated, staying submerged and resting on the bottom of the pool by the action of lower counterweights.

- Figure 3 shows an elevation view of the device of the previous figure in the operative position of flotation, once filled the inflatable chambers by means of a compressor.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In the embodiment of the figures attached the pool rescue device comprises a platform (1) flattened, of flexible material, constituted in this exemplary embodiment by a plurality of inflatable chambers (11) between which holes are defined (12) interns Said platform (1) has ballasts or weights (2) that keep it submerged in an inoperative position on the bottom of the pool, while the inflation of the cameras does not occur inflatables (11).

The inflatable chambers (11) are interconnected with each other and connected by a conduit swollen (13) to pressurized air supply means (3), represented in this case by a compressor, and operable by middle of a switch (31) or remote control.

The drive of the supply means (3) Pressurized air causes the inflatable chambers to fill (11), the ascent by flotation of the platform (1) and the elevation to the surface of the pool users.

During said ascent movement, the water located above the platform (1) passes to the area below through the holes (12) defined therein.

In the exemplary embodiment shown on device comprises lateral guides (4) for the guided displacement of the platform (1) during its elevation in The inside of the pool.

Once nature is sufficiently described of the invention, as well as a preferred embodiment, for the appropriate purposes that the materials, form, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not imply an alteration of the essential features of the invention claimed in continuation.
