Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un accessoire d'aide à la flottaison desThe present invention relates to an accessory for assisting the flotation of
nageurs.swimmers.
En plus de la nécessité d'assurer une sustentation suffisante, ce dispositif doit être maintenu convenablement autour du cou ou de la taille de façon, à ne pas glisser et ne pas gêner les mouvements de son utilisateur. In addition to the need to provide sufficient levitation, this device must be properly held around the neck or waist so as not to slip and not hinder the movements of its user.
Les dispositifs actuels apportent une solution partielle ou trop complexe pour une utilisation multiple et pratique. A ce jour il existe par exemple le brevet FR1028633 qui propose une fermeture du tore par ses 2 extrémités à l'aide d'un lacet. Par sa conception, ce procédé se révèle à l'usage insuffisamment fiable si bien qu'en fait: il serre trop le cou et gêne l'utilisateur, ou il ne le serre pas assez et risque de glisser vers le haut lors de certaines activités aquatiques. Le brevet DE1213284 prévoit le passage du lacet de fermeture par un conduit intérieur au dispositif: ce qui complique la fabrication du dispositif et la mise en place du lacet dans le conduit. De plus, le volume encombrant de sa partie avant, nécessite de le tirer vers le bas en se ceinturant la taille avec les extrémités du lacet. Le brevet FR1103026 et le brevet FR2033529, nécessitent le gonflage de la bouée après sa mise en place et par conséquent: le dégonflage de celle-ci avant de pouvoir la retirer. Cette contrainte est gênante pour des exercices d'aquagym par exemple. Le brevet FR1430355 ne possède pas de système de fermeture, ni une ouverture suffisante pour permettre une utilisation aisée par le dessus de la tête ou à cheval entre les jambes. - 2 Current devices provide a partial or too complex solution for multiple and convenient use. To date there is for example the patent FR1028633 which proposes a closure of the torus by its two ends with the help of a lace. By its design, this process is revealed to the insufficiently reliable use so that in fact: it squeezes too much the neck and embarrasses the user, or it does not tighten it enough and risks to slide upwards during certain activities aquatic. The DE1213284 patent provides for the passage of the closing lace by an inner conduit to the device: this complicates the manufacture of the device and the introduction of the lace in the conduit. In addition, the cumbersome volume of its front part, requires pulling it down by circling the waist with the ends of the lace. The patent FR1103026 and the patent FR2033529, require inflation of the buoy after its introduction and therefore: the deflation of the latter before being able to remove it. This constraint is inconvenient for water aerobics exercises for example. Patent FR1430355 does not have a closure system, nor an opening sufficient to allow easy use from above the head or horseback between the legs. - 2
La présente invention a pour objet de remédier à ces inconvénients. The present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages.
Le dispositif ouvert est comparable à une bouée ronde pour enfant à laquelle on a retiré une portion du tore 5 représentant environ 2/5 de son volume. The open device is comparable to a round child buoy to which a portion of the torus 5 has been removed representing about 2/5 of its volume.
Sur la face de dessous à chacune de ses deux extrémités, il comporte selon une première caractéristique: un pontet soudé d'après un angle déterminé. Par chacun de ces pontets passe une cordelette en polypropylène pour former une boucle. Les deux extrémités de cette boucle sont assemblées afin de passer par un serre-cordons. A la sortie, les deux bouts de la cordelette sont noués. Le noeud est ensuite dissimulé dans un embout. Après avoir enfilé la bouée autour du cou, il suffit à son utilisateur de tirer d'une main l'embout vers le bas, et de l'autre main remonter le serre-cordon à la hauteur désirée pour resserrer, à sa convenance, la bouée autour du cou. On the underside of each of its two ends, it comprises according to a first feature: a bridge welded according to a given angle. Each of these bridges passes a polypropylene cord to form a loop. Both ends of this loop are assembled to pass through a cordset. At the exit, the two ends of the rope are knotted. The knot is then hidden in a mouthpiece. After putting the buoy around the neck, it is sufficient for the user to pull the tip down with one hand, and with the other hand to raise the cord to the desired height to tighten, at its convenience, the buoy around the neck.
Sur la face de dessus, il comporte selon une deuxième caractéristique: un pontet soudé de chaque coté ; ainsi après avoir passé une sangle par ces deux pontets, l'utilisateur à la possibilité d'utiliser le dispositif comme ceinture de flottaison. On the top face, it comprises according to a second feature: a saddle welded on each side; thus after having passed a strap by these two bridges, the user has the possibility of using the device as a flotation belt.

(Face en contact des épaules).(Face in contact with the shoulders).
En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif ouvert (1), est comparable à une bouée ronde pour enfant à laquelle on a retiré une portion du tore représentant environ 2/5 de son volume. En film pvc, ou toute autre matière similaire: il est fabriqué par thermosoudure (9) et (10). Sur la face de dessous figure 2, à chacune de ses deux extrémités, il comporte: un pontet (11) et un pontet (12) soudés d'après un angle déterminé. Par chacun de ces pontets (11) et (12) passe une cordelette en polypropylène (13) d'environ 1300 mm de longueur et d'environ 3 mm de diamètre pour former une boucle. Les 2 extrémités de cette boucle sont assemblées afin de passer par un serre-cordons (7). A la sortie, les 2 bouts de la cordelette (13) sont noués. Le n ud est ensuite dissimulé dans un embout (6) : ainsi après avoir enfilé la bouée (1) autour du cou, il suffit à son utilisateur de tirer d'une main l'embout (6) vers le bas et, de l'autre main remonter le serre-cordon (7) à la hauteur désirée pour resserrer, à sa convenance, la bouée (1) autour du cou. Ce système de fermeture, particulièrement rapide et fiable, convient parfaitement aux exercices aquatiques. Le positionnement des deux pontets (11) et (12) sur la face du dessous, annule le risque de passer la tête au travers du dispositif; une fois celui-ci fermé. With reference to these drawings, the open device (1) is comparable to a round child buoy to which a portion of the torus having approximately 2/5 of its volume has been removed. In pvc film, or any other similar material: it is manufactured by heat-sealing (9) and (10). On the underside of Figure 2, at each of its two ends, it comprises: a trigger guard (11) and a trigger guard (12) welded according to a given angle. By each of these bridges (11) and (12) passes a polypropylene string (13) of about 1300 mm in length and about 3 mm in diameter to form a loop. The two ends of this loop are assembled to pass through a cordset (7). At the exit, the 2 ends of the rope (13) are knotted. The knot is then hidden in a mouthpiece (6): after having put the buoy (1) around the neck, it is sufficient for the user to pull the tip (6) down with one hand and, Another hand pull the cord holder (7) up to the desired height to tighten the buoy (1) around the neck as desired. This closure system, particularly fast and reliable, is ideal for water exercises. The positioning of the two bridges (11) and (12) on the underside, cancels the risk of passing the head through the device; once it's closed.
Sur la face de dessus figure 3, le dispositif fermé comporte un pontet (2) et un pontet (3) soudés au bord de la soudure extérieure (9) sur l'axe horizontal (X) perpendiculaire à l'axe d'ouverture (Y). Les pontets (2) et (3) permettent le passage d'une sangle (4) de 25mm de largeur, terminée par une boucle rapide (5) et (8) en pvc. L'utilisateur a ainsi la possibilité d'utiliser le dispositif, autour de la taille, comme d'une ceinture de flottaison. On the top face 3, the closed device comprises a bridge (2) and a bridge (3) welded to the edge of the outer weld (9) on the horizontal axis (X) perpendicular to the opening axis ( Y). The bridges (2) and (3) allow the passage of a strap (4) of 25mm width, completed by a quick loop (5) and (8) pvc. The user thus has the possibility of using the device, around the waist, as a floatation belt.
Une valve anti-retour (14) sur la face de dessous figure 2, est soudée en position décalée à gauche ou à droite par rapport à l'axe (Y) figure 3. Le diamètre du tore (1) peu varié entre 100 mm et 110 mm pour un adulte moyen. Plusieurs tailles peuvent être fabriquées: en modulant le diamètre du tore et l'espace entre les deux extrémités. Grâce à sa large ouverture, il est particulièrement aisé à mettre en place et à retirer. Par les différentes possibilités d'utilisation qu'il offre, le dispositif selon l'invention, est particulièrement destiné aux pratiquants d'activités aquatiques telle que l'aquagym, la natation douce, la relaxation. A non-return valve (14) on the bottom face 2, is welded in position offset to the left or right with respect to the axis (Y) Figure 3. The diameter of the torus (1) little varied between 100 mm and 110 mm for an average adult. Several sizes can be made: by modulating the diameter of the torus and the space between the two ends. Thanks to its wide opening, it is particularly easy to set up and remove. By the different possibilities of use that it offers, the device according to the invention is particularly intended for practitioners of aquatic activities such as water aerobics, soft swimming, relaxation.
