Abstract

Mobile provisioning and assistance beacon. It refers to a float that signals the position in which an aquatic activity is performed and also incorporates a series of sealed and independent compartments in which solids (3), liquids (2) and ballast (4) can be stored so that Each of the aforementioned genres are accessible to the user for use or consumption under the appropriate conditions. It also has the necessary means to be transportable by said user.

Description

Mobile provisioning and assistance beacon.

The present invention relates to those elements that, in addition to properly signaling the realization of any aquatic activity in its vicinity, especially the of swimmers or divers, provide them with a vehicle suitable for transporting liquid and solid food for your supplies or other auxiliary and safety products, in optimal conditions of consumption and use, during development of these activities. Previous research done not determined the existence of any device equal to the one proposed in The present invention.

The present invention involves the creation of a float, either rigid or elastic, of the precise proportions so that it remains ostensibly on the surface even in full load regime. Previous AI a series is incorporated of insulated compartments: ones, suitable for the storage of solid, whether these be food or auxiliary products, and others intended for the deposit of beverage or any other liquid; everybody they are arranged so that their content is accessible to The user at any time. Thus, for the latter case, in addition to having a flexible independent filling duct provided with a shut-off valve, the tank involves a second duct, equally flexible through which the user can suck the liquid it contains, and whose end also has a shut-off valve For the compartment intended for solids a closure of the watertight type is suitable for preserve its contents from moisture. The walls of both compartments have the precise insulating capacity to maintain in perfect conditions of consumption, and even hot with with respect to the environment if applicable, the gender contained in they.

Similarly, it includes another space destined to to house the necessary ballast so that the set remains in the proper position on the surface of the water whatever environmental or load conditions. The aforementioned float is they have the necessary means so that it can be moved with ease on the surface of the water. These compartment and spaces can be attached to the float permanently or fix it temporarily by the appropriate means.

Understanding it will be simpler if we we refer to a practical example, which is reflected in the figures attached, with figure 1 representing a elastic float (1), consisting of two independent chambers united forming a single body and swollen with air, in which They have three isolated compartments destined to deposit liquids (2), solids store (3) and ballast (4). All of them They have their own accesses, being:

(V1), (V1 '): inflation and deflation valves of the chambers (1), (1 ') of the float.

(V2): liquid charge valve compartment (2).

(V3): liquid discharge valve compartment (2).

(T1): liquid loading duct of the compartment (2).

(T2): liquid discharge duct of the compartment (2).

(C): Watertight compartment closure (3).

(V4): ballast loading and unloading valve compartment (4).

In this figure all accesses appear closed and (S) represents the surface of the water on which it floats the device.

Figure 2 represents the same device with the open accesses and in which (A) is a cape and (B), (B ') rings properly arranged to facilitate float drag; being (E) a fastener installed on it that allows to fix the conduit tube (T2) at will in a position determined, outside of which it has the mobility that allows its use with greater comfort.

Figure 3 describes the loading operations of compartments for solids (3) and liquids (2), with their respective accesses (C) and (V2).

Figure 4 shows the discharge being the liquid (D) contained in the reservoir (2) is sucked through the duct (T2). In said figure (S) a safety flare stored in (3) and (P) the ballast contained in (4).

So, suppose a swimmer endowed with the device in question; said float, according to figure 3, is preloaded to the aquatic activity with Safety flare and solid food (S) in the warehouse (3) by opening the seal (C), which, finished  said operation is closed again; Similarly; I also know liquid charge (D) the tank (2) through the duct (T1) the valve (V2) being open after which it also closes. A Once these procedures have been completed, the float is deposited on the water surface and, by means of the clamping line (A), it is fixed to the swimmer properly for his trailer and he starts his activity.

If at any moment the swimmer wishes to drink, The duct (T2) must be moved out of position fixed that it has in the fastener (E) and place its end in properly free to suck the liquid (D) through the same, whenever the valve (V3) is open, just as  it is reflected in figure 4. Once the libation is finished it closes again the valve (V3) and the duct (T2) is replaced in its original position on (E).

Thinking now about the need to claim for any cause the help of third parties that are far from the instead, the swimmer can access the use of the flare contained in the deposit (3) by means of the opening of (C). Likewise would act if you wanted to eat the content of it (3) in any instant.

We do not believe it is necessary to make the explanation of the present invention so that any technician in the subject can understand its scope and advantages that derive from it.

The terms in which this document has been written memory should always be taken in the broad sense and not in limitative.

The materials, forms and disposition of elements will be subject to variation as long as it does not suppose an alteration of the essential characteristics of the invention, which is claimed below.

Claims (5)
