SET OF HELP CLOTHES IN THE LEARNING AND IMPROVEMENT OF SWIMMING

SECTOR OF THE TECHNIQUE

The stated invention falls within the systems, accessories or 5 garments intended to maintain the buoyancy of a subject in an aquatic environment.

Further specifying the scope, the enunciated invention is intended for the sectors included in the garments used for the purpose mentioned above.

STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE

io There is knowledge of a wide variety of accessories intended to aid in the flotation of subjects destined either for learning in swimming, such as induced safety or their rescue. On the occasion of a generalization in the terminology of these, some are mentioned such as waist floats, forearm sleeves and flotation vests.

15 In the field of flotation systems, these are most commonly applied in different tasks for a specific purpose and not related especially to the buoyancy of a subject, but rather to an industrial application. The systems referred to the flotation of subjects are mainly applied in the rescue of the same or emergency situations which require a combination of elements such as the aforementioned waist floats or flotation vests combined with lifting harnesses.

As for the textile field, which concerns the invention described herein, the vests used in the initiation of activities whose scope includes a possible contact with the aquatic environment are commonly known. Also commonly known are garments developed with materials that facilitate buoyancy such as synthetic rubbers more commonly known as wetsuits.

It is the applicant himself of the enunciated invention, holder in turn of the following inventions;

- U201230707 with title “FLOATING SWIMSUIT” which refers to a single garment made of synthetic rubber with flotation elements attached to it.

- P201300397 with the title "FLOAT SWIMSUIT TO LEARN TO SWIM" which mentions a set of clothing consisting of an upper garment and a lower garment which, like the previous invention, contain floating elements.

- P201400135 with title "FLOAT SWIMSUIT TO LEARN TO IMPROVE SWIMMING" as an addition to the aforementioned Patent.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The systems, accessories and garments mentioned above in the State of the Art have as a common purpose the aid in the buoyancy of a subject when he is in a risk situation associated with an aquatic environment or in the learning phase of a related activity with such means.

The main objective of said inventions is to keep the subject's body in an ideal position in an aquatic environment during which time said subject remains in said medium either in an emergency situation or in a learning phase.

Focusing attention on the stated invention, the inventions closest to it are those focused on learning and the induced safety of the subject, more specifically, the garments which contain floating elements attached or embedded. These have the inconvenience of being detached from them in a voluntary way but at the same time indiscriminate, which may lead to an inadequate buoyancy of the subject.

The invention that is recommended here, presents a set of garments intended to aid in the learning of swimming whose novelty lies in

the joint use of two suitable garments as well as the incorporation of new flotation elements present in them.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The set of garments that help in learning and improving swimming is presented as a set consisting of an upper garment or vest and a lower or short garment where the vest has a system of subjection to the body composed of strips with anchor which go from the back to the front of the vest passing between the union of the legs formed in the short.

10 They comprise, said garments, a plurality of strategic zones in order to be able to attach or insert the following flotation elements interchangeably;

- encapsulated air.

- synthetic materials obtained from different chemical preparations

15 such as expanded polystyrene, plastic derivatives,

low density rubber or the like.

- materials of natural origin such as wood presented in processed or unprocessed form.

Depending on the means of flotation chosen and based on the circumstances of use of the set, the aforementioned areas will have means of fixing the flotation elements or cavities suitable for their shelter.

There is the possibility that the garments, respecting the strategic areas, can dispense with the aforementioned fixing means using the floating elements qualities inherent to adhesion, such as 25 adhesive substances or similar which provide guarantees in the aquatic environment.

In order to avoid possible accidents caused by incorrect positions in the water due to user fades, the lower garment has a removable flotation element in the pelvic area in the form of

cone. In this way, since there is no resistance on the part of the user, he will turn around thus adopting a supine position.

Depending on the circumstances of use or at will of the user, the garments will have extensions, removable or not, which partially or totally cover the arms for the vest and all the legs of the subject for the case of the short.

Depending on whether the set is used for the purpose of helping in the initiation or improvement of swimming, the arrangement and composition of the flotation elements in the set will be determined by indications shown inside the vest and which they will present an order of voluntary detachment, by third parties or the user himself, of said flotation elements. Said order of detachment will be conditioned according to the body mass of the subject combined with the acquired level of learning of the subject and will be 15 in a gradual and combined cancellation of the floating elements present in the set. To this end, it is recommended that said cancellation be made or transmitted by a person skilled in swimming initiation or, failing that, a tutor with knowledge in the field.

Apart from the recommended forms of use, the determination of the order of cancellation of the flotation elements, their choice and their possible combination will be determined by the circumstances of the aquatic environment which may influence the buoyancy of a subject. These circumstances will be specified in the indications present in the garment and may be subject to the different densities which are present in the different waters, living (rivers, seas or oceans) or still (pools, lakes, etc.) or by the pressures existing in the same consequence of the existing depth.

5 DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With reference to the attached figures, according to the numbering reflected in them and a preferred but not limiting form, the set of garments for learning and perfecting swimming comprises a top garment (1) shaped like a vest and a garment bottom (2) in the form of a short where the upper garment (1) has a system attached to the body composed of strips which leave the lower rear part and are fixed to the lower front by means of clasps or buckles.

It has, as a whole, a series of strategic zones (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, and 4e) differentiated and distributed by each of the upper (1) and lower 15 (2) garments. These areas are predisposed, in combination or jointly, with

fastening systems of the sailboat or rack type, or with elements to house the pockets type. A plurality of floating elements are coupled or housed over said areas.

The lower garment (2) has a removable flotation element (9) with a cone-shaped geometric shape at the front of the pelvic zone 20.

Both garments (1 and 2) will be predisposed by means of a fastening system of the sailboat or zipper type to a possible incorporation of extensions or sleeves (5) in the upper garment (1) and extensions or legs (6) in the lower garment (2 ). Preferably, a transverse closure system (7) formed by a sailboat or rack is arranged in the front middle part of the upper garment 25 (1), a completely closed embodiment not being ruled out depending on the use of the assembly. Inside the upper garment (1) and adhering thereto, an employment signpost (8) is provided referring to a gradual detachment of the flotation elements.

The materials chosen for the realization of the garments as a whole (1 and 2) will be conditioned to enhance the buoyancy of the subject, the preferred materials being synthetic rubbers such as neoprene or similar. For the realization of the fixing means (3) existing in the upper garment (1), it is advisable to use water resistant materials such as plastics for rigid elements and synthetic fabrics for fixing them. The materials that make up the floating elements will be made based on what is stated in lines 13 to 18 corresponding to page 4 of this report.
