Abstract

The float (1) is made in semi-rigid impermeable foam and has two parallel holes (4) through it. A bracelet (2) is passed through the holes and its ends are held by a rigid plate (3) fixed to the base of the float. It has two holes (5) whose diameter is smaller than the diameter of the bracelet.

Description

La presente invention concerne un dispositif pour l'apprentissage de la natation (la brasse) et/ou pour l'execution de mouvement des membres supérieurs en milieu aquatique afin de gagner de la confiance en soi dans l'eau. The present invention relates to a device for learning swimming (breaststroke) and / or for performing movement of the upper limbs in an aquatic environment in order to gain self-confidence in water.

L'apprentissage de ces mouvements s'effectue traditionnellement avec des bouchons de mousse, des gants ou des plaquettes de natation qui risquent d'engendrer la peur de l'utilisateur dans la découverte du milieu aquatique. Learning these movements is traditionally done with foam plugs, gloves or swimming pads that may cause fear of the user in the discovery of the aquatic environment.

Certains de ces accessoires comportent un élément de flottaison sans sécurité (les bouchons), d'autres un système de maintien qui verrouille la liberté de la main empêchant la saisie d'un autre objet, ce qui ne permet pas l'apprentissage de la gestuelle de la nage la brasse ou des membres supérieurs dans les meilleurs conditions psychologiques et n'élinine pas la peur de l'eau. Some of these accessories include a flotation element without security (plugs), others a support system that locks the freedom of the hand preventing the gripping of another object, which does not allow the learning of gestures. swim breaststroke or upper limbs in the best psychological conditions and do not eliminate the fear of water.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique, un flotteur présentant deux orifices par lequel peut être introduit une durite et une plaquette de fixation. Cette plaquette de fixation, qui permet de maintenir l'ensemble, est pourvue de deux orifices, ainsi quand l'utilisateur lâche le flotteur, les orifices plus petit que la durite-bracelet exerce une pression par étranglement sur le corps de la durite et l'ensemble reste fixer au poignet de l'utilisateur assurant ainsi son rôle de sécurité. The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback. According to a first characteristic, it in fact comprises a float having two orifices through which a hose and a fixing plate can be introduced. This fixing plate, which allows the assembly to be held, is provided with two orifices, so when the user releases the float, the orifices smaller than the bracelet hose exerts a pressure by throttling on the body of the hose and the 'assembly remains attached to the user's wrist thus ensuring its safety role.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation: - le flotteur, corps principal en matériau de type mousse semi-rigide et de densité compatible par rapport à l'eau comporte un emplacement de la dimension de la plaquette de fixation et de deux orifices de passage. Sa forme rectangulaire a la taille de la main de l'utilisateur afin de répondre à l'objectif final, qui est l'utilisation de la main nue comme moyen de traction. Le flotteur disposera d'éléments de couleur pour diriger l'utilisateur dans l'exécution du geste ( ce sont des repéres visuels). According to particular embodiments: - the float, a main body made of semi-rigid foam type material and of density compatible with respect to water, has a location the size of the fixing plate and two through orifices. Its rectangular shape is the size of the user's hand in order to meet the final objective, which is the use of the bare hand as a means of traction. The float will have colored elements to direct the user in the execution of the gesture (these are visual marks).

- la plaquette de fixation de moindre épaisseur comporte deux orifices maintenant la duritebracelet.- the mounting plate of lesser thickness has two orifices holding the hose connection.

- la durite-bracelet peut être en différent matériau cependant le plus approprié dans le milieu aquatique est le silicone.- the bracelet hose can be made of different materials, however the most suitable in the aquatic environment is silicone.

La figure ô represente la vue d'ensemble de la plaquette de fixation, une vanante de ce dispositif
En référence a ces dessins, le dispositif comporte un flotteur (I), dont les faces (6) et (7) sont munies de deux orifices de passage paralléles à l'une des extrémités du flotteur (1). Une durite-bracelet (2) de diametre inférieur à celui desdits orifices prend place dans ceux-ci à droite de la face (9). A son extrémité gauche de la face (7), le flotteur est pounru d'un logement qui accueille une plaquette de fixation (3). Cette plaquette de fixation reçoit au sein de ses orifices la durite-bracelet (2). Les axes de ces orifices (5) sont placés en regard des axes de passage (4) du flotteur (1). En fonction de la taille du poignet de l'utilisateur, I'ajustement de la longueur de la durite-bracelet (2) s'obtient par simple traction.
Figure ô shows the overall view of the mounting plate, a side of this device
With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a float (I), the faces (6) and (7) of which are provided with two passage openings parallel to one of the ends of the float (1). A wristband hose (2) of diameter smaller than that of said orifices takes place in them to the right of the face (9). At its left end of the face (7), the float is provided with a housing which receives a fixing plate (3). This fixing plate receives within its orifices the bracelet hose (2). The axes of these orifices (5) are placed opposite the passage axes (4) of the float (1). Depending on the size of the user's wrist, the length of the strap hose (2) can be adjusted by simple pull.

Dans la forme de réalisation selon la figure 2, le corps du flotteur comporte en partie inférieure (7) à l'extrême gauche, un dégagement des dimensions de la plaquette de fixation (3). In the embodiment according to Figure 2, the body of the float has in the lower part (7) on the far left, a clearance of the dimensions of the fixing plate (3).

La plaquette de fixation constitue une partie indépendante du corps du flotteur (1), une zone de moindre épaisseur de la paroi du flotteur (1) formant le système de maintien, ceci notamment dans le cas précis où le flotteur est réalisé en mousse semi-rigide imperméable en une seule opération de moulage par injection. La rigidité de la plaquette de fixation assure, par l'intermédiaire du diamètre des orifices de passage (5) inférieur a celui de la durite-bracelet (2), le maintien de l'ensemble des pièces (i) et (3). The fixing plate constitutes an independent part of the body of the float (1), an area of reduced thickness of the wall of the float (1) forming the holding system, this especially in the precise case where the float is made of semi-foam. rigid waterproof in a single injection molding operation. The rigidity of the fixing plate ensures, by means of the diameter of the passage orifices (5) smaller than that of the bracelet hose (2), the maintenance of all the parts (i) and (3).

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à l'apprentissage des activités de la natation et principalement la brasse.  The device according to the invention is particularly intended for learning swimming activities and mainly breaststroke.
