Abstract

Floats attached to the rope (c), are designed based on resiliently deformable shell (2) comprising the assembly of turbine (6), to absorb the energy of waves created in water surface.

Description

Pool rack.

As is known public pools and particularly the competition pools comprise the arrangement of several corcheras along them, with the in order to delimit the streets through which the swimmers

These corcheras are constituted by several small floats arranged aligned and strung on a stand longitudinal such as a string or the like.

Various float models are known, generally of plastic material, with different shapes and constitutions such as spheroidal, discoid, cylindrical and others.

With the use of these corcheras conventional swimmers encounter the problem of waves produced by themselves on the water. This swell really produces a slowing action for the swimmer produced when the waves bounce when they collide with the echelon even affecting, in part, this braking action on the streets adjacent.

A corchera is known that is subject to the US-4 048 677, formed on the basis of floats combined with turbulence inhibiting devices produced in the swell determined by the swimmers, with which these they can advance on the water without problems of braking by the waves that they produce themselves.

Such devices inhibit the swell turbulence consists of a rotating turbine freely on the cable in which the strings are also strung floats

The object of this invention is a corchera formed by floats that are basically constituted with a cover elastically deformable, which lets water inward where it helps, as a means absorbing the energy of the waves, a turbine assembly with shaft in longitudinal arrangement arranged inside the float.

The cover and turbines are manufactured in elastic plastic material.

These and other features will come off better than the detailed description that follows, to facilitate which It is accompanied by a sheet of drawings in which it has been represented a case study that is cited only by way of non-limiting example of the scope of the present invention.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 illustrates the float in perspective with which the corchera will be formed,

Figure 2 shows said perspective float, in which half cover has been removed,

figure 3 represents figure 2 in which they have removed some turbines, and

Figure 4 is a perspective view of the internal part of the float.

According to the drawings the float constitutive of the clasp comprises a cover substantially cylindrical formed by two semi-pieces (1) and (2) longitudinal with peripheral openings (3) and presenting longitudinally and transversely outer nerves (4) and (5) as a short flat fins

Inside the deck are arranged several turbines (6) strung on longitudinal shafts (7) coupled by its ends to two discoidal bases (8) and (9)

The float is strung on a cable (C) on which two float elements are also strung extreme transverse (10) and (11) and one longitudinal (12).

If appropriate, it is planned to replace the Longitudinal float by one or several turbines.

Both cover and turbines will be preferably made of a slightly plastic material elastic, and through the openings (3) the water has access to the turbines

The corchera will be formed by skewering on the cable (C) several floats as indicated.

The invention, within its essentiality, can be put into practice in other embodiments that differ only in detail from that indicated solely by way of example, which will also achieve the protection that collect.

Claims (3)

1. Pool rack, comprising several floats aligned and attached to a flexible longitudinal element, presenting a constitution that absorbs the energy of the waves that occur on the surface of the water, characterized in that the constitution of the float, which absorbs the energy of The waves are based on the presence of an elastically deformable cover (1,2) and which inside comprises the arrangement of a set of turbines (6) with longitudinal axes (7) with respect to the float. 2. Pool rack according to claim 1, characterized in that the cover (1,2) is constituted so as to let the water pass. 3. Pool rack, according to claim 1, characterized in that the cover (1,2) and the turbines (6) are made of elastic plastic material.
