Description

IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PATENT P201300397 FLOAT SWIMSUIT TO LEARN TO SWIM OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an addition that improves the

patient P201300397 titled Float swimsuit to learn to swim, adapted in its constitution, its shape and its materials for

preferably the child learned to swim in a way

gradual. The float swimsuit of the main patent was conceived as a set of sleeveless vest and swimsuit

neoprene with covers distributed both in the vest and in the legs where to store flotation elements that regulate the

Buoyancy of the swimming apprentice as he learns. These flotation elements consisted of pieces of material of very low density and consequently of great buoyancy, such as expanded polystyrene, which in addition to floating well is impervious to water. To regulate the buoyancy of the child using the float swimsuit object of said main invention

during their swimming learning process they had in

20 counts different factors that influence such buoyancy. First, the child's weight and thoracic capacity as static factors and secondly the swimming skills that

were acquiring in their learning as dynamic factors,

Evolutionary Another factor that affects such buoyancy was the thickness

of the neoprene because this is basically a porous rubber in which each microscopic pore is a sealed air bubble.

Depending on these factors the float swimsuit of the

5 main patent should be a carrier of greater or lesser number of

buoyancy regulating elements in the different cases in which they were housed. Once compensated the vest and the

legs in relation to its buoyancy had to distribute the

flotation regulating elements to act in areas 10 of the body where it was necessary to maintain a positive buoyancy, that is, ascending, and in those others where buoyancy

it should be neutral, that is neither ascending or positive nor descending or negative. It was reasoned that a child with greater muscle mass, for example, would need to improve his buoyancy

15 add flotation elements fm volume to the chest.

The shape of said swimsuit float pennitia that the arms

of the swimmer moved without difficulty to advance the body without the head being semi submerged and therefore exposed

to get water through the nose or water to prevent visibility

20 of the swimmer. It was also reasoned that in people who learn to swim, fear of losing their balance, visibility or breathing is common, and it is this fear that prevents them

start swimming Said main invention was oriented towards

three problem solution: give security to the learner by stabilizing

the balance of your body, prevent water from hindering your

visibility and have no problems with breathing.

It was the object of said invention to provide a comfortable and

: 'i

simple means of swimming in harmony and without any risk while

facilitate the task, removing the difficulties and obstacles to

face children / adults who have difficulties or without learning

swimming.

It was also reasoned that for the performance of the function of

10

swimming by a beginner was necessary for it to float without

difficulty in the water, keep your eyes and nose safe from

flood and have freedom of movement in arms and legs.

Once the beginner learned over time to control the

nose so that water does not enter, to open your eyes underwater and over

fifteen

mud to maintain the buoyancy of your body by helping with the

movement of arms and legs, could gradually go

regardless of its buoyancy regulating elements and in such

in case these elements could be removed from the covers where

kept closed by sailboat tape. But to prevent the child

twenty

remove on your own the regulating elements of its fixability

opening the cover with the sailboat ribbon on his own he had

planned to additionally include a few second elements

fixability regulators inside the vest of all

the covers, where they are introduced through openings in the form of

porthole, which make removal difficult.

With said invention advantageously provided a

simple solution, devoid of obstacles and impediments, in the

:5

that the user enjoy a buoyancy adapted to their level of

swimming learning and that would dispense with said swimsuit

float when I definitely learned to swim, besides not

having to fear that arms find obstacles to swim.

It was argued that sometimes it is not necessary to do without

\OR

of the float swimsuit, when the subject already knows how to swim, but may

remove interior floating elements and wetsuit

it will maintain body temperature and will allow you to swim at any

style, moreover, when children already know how to swim, it is convenient

eliminate upper floats and introduce floats in

fifteen

pockets or sleeves of the piemas so that they adopt a

Hydrodynamic position of non-sunken skin.

Another advantage over what is known in the state of the art

it was that the float was fitted to the user's body like a

One-piece swimsuit, without amés, but fastened by sailboat or by

twenty

buttoning, although the main advantage lay in the distribution

proportional to the flotation elements adapted to the weight and

thoracic capacity of the subject and progressive regulation of their

buoyancy.

Finally, the float swimsuit to learn to swim subject to the main patent also served advantageously to give more

peace of mind to parents when children, knowing how to swim,

improve safety in water sports and free swimming in swamps,

5 murky waters or waters where there is a risk of losing security.

BACKGROUND OF THE MAIN INVENTION The state of the art relating to the main patent provided

inventions aimed at making possible the maintenance of the

buoyancy, such as ES 220314 U which referred to a water float made of very low weight material

specific and impervious to water, to which a form was conferred

such that it offered maximum buoyancy, presenting at the top a flange on the perimeter "ia for user support and a

concavity in the lower part to confer greater stability. 15 It presented the drawback compared to that invention

proposal to provide only buoyancy and stability to

user, but nothing more. On the other hand, in this proposed invention the user found the opportunity to keep his head high enough to be free from discomfort, thus

20 how to move your arms without difficulty, in addition to maintaining your buoyancy in line with your body constitution and your level of

swimming learning

Nor is document ES 142995 U, referring to a safety float whose interior was filled with density masses

inferior to water That they guaranteed the buoyancy of the whole, even if it lost air, it was comparable with the advantages of the

5 proposed invention, since no $ 8 conveniently distributed nor are they subject to regulation.

Document ES 1045906 U influenced the security of the

user, consisting of a collar buckled around the neck to

that could not leave and also had the advantage of keeping the head of the swimmer always out of the water. These two

The proposed invention also had advantages, although resolved in a different way as it was not exclusively a float collar, but a swimsuit that began at the top that protects the head continued until it reached the thighs

15 of the swimmer. ES 2 083 222 T3 described an inflatable float element

to learn to swim, which includes at least two bodies

floats swells bias and a strap for attachment to the body of the

user, characterized in that the two floating bodies

20 were joined facing each other and opposite each other, while the fastening strap passed in an intermediate position between the two float bodies, cooperating with loops positioned at the ends of these and being held between the two bodies

Floats when at least one of the two has swollen. With that

It was intended to give mobility to the arms and legs of the apprentice as well as buoyancy, but at the expense of E! a complex and cumbersome system

that was far from the simplicity and effectiveness of the one proposed in

5 said main invention.

ES 2020092 referred to a bathroom float especially

indicated for children or people who could not swim. It consisted of two twin flotation bodies joined by two

flexible straps, with the ability to extend in length. The weight 10 of the body when resting on the flexible braces forced the

floats to stick on their flanks, although it would not be clear that it prevented the free movement of the arms or the regulation of the buoyancy characteristic of that involvement.

Document ES 2 173 331 T3 presents an aid for swimming comprising an inflatable cushion of foldable material and a bag suitable to accommodate the folded cushion without swelling, said citation being

bag provided with a belt to fix it to the body of the swimmer, and including a pressurized gas cartridge that, when operated a valve fills the cushion. It presents as disadvantages against the present invention that it does not keep the head out of the water,

in addition to the risk of gas and valve engorgement. Finally, the ES1077377U described a floating swimsuit that

it comprised a main body endowed with an upper opening

for the introduction of the user's head, lateral openings for the arms, and a pair of pemeras for the insertion of the piemas, additionally comprising: -a pockets linked to the main body, dimensionally adapted to accommodate at least inside an element of floating material, of lower density than water, so that they provide

buoyancy to the swimsuit, and therefore to the user. In comparison with the

main invention does not solve the problem of distributing the

elements of fixability proportionally by the body and 10 legs of the swimsuit, adapting said distribution to the weight and

thoracic capacity of the subject, nor does it foresee the inclusion of elements of

flotation inside the vest. Nor does it provide for the possibility of including air-filled buoyancy elements in

A different embodiment. 15 Accordingly, the prior art proposes solutions

to stay afloat or swim float aided, all of them

very different from the proposed invention, there being no document that refers to an open but buckled float swimsuit, designed to keep the

20 better user buoyancy while being allowed to gradually detach E 'from buoyancy elements

distributed both outside and inside the swimsuit in the

extent to which the user learns to swim.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRICIPAL INVENTION

A description of the invention was included below.

expanded polystyrene, which in addition to floating well is waterproof

to the water and were housed in covers proportionally distributed both

in the front of the vest and legs as in the back

of these, consisting of a cover on the upper back

of the vest, two in the chest, two in the waist, two in the area

insertable in the covers also adapted to these buoyancy factors and the evolution of the subject's learning, being able to

be inserted between one or more in the covers located in the outer pectoral areas of the vest and at least one in the same 5 inner zones. Once compensated the vest and the legs in

As for its buoyancy, the flotation elements had to be distributed to act in the areas of the body where there are

that maintain a positive buoyancy, that is ascending, and in

those in which the buoyancy must be neutral, that is to say

10 ascending or positive or descending or negative. A child with greater muscle mass or greater bone weight, for example. you will need to improve your buoyancy add regulatory elements of your

buoyancy around your waist,

The sleeveless vest allowed the swimmer's arms to move without difficulty to advance the body without the head being semi submerged and therefore exposed to entering

water through the nose or water preventing the swimmer's visibility.

But to prevent the child from removing the buoyancy regulating elements by opening the velcro strap

20 on its own, it was planned to additionally include said regulating elements in the inner part of the vest, where they are inserted through portholes in the form of an eye, which

They make removal difficult.

In a different embodiment they were also

buoyancy regulating elements on the back of the vest.

In a different embodiment, a second one was planned
