Description

DESCRIPTION

Sleep-lying type series of life-saving swimwear

1. Field of the invention

The present invention relates to a multi-purpose swimwear for learning swimming and water sports entertainment and life-saving.

to 2. Background of the invention

At present, due to water pollution, many shallow-water regions of streams, reservoirs are not suitable for swimming even. In many places people only to large rivers and large reservoirs, deep reservoirs, such as go swimming.

As we all know, people who can not swim to the deep-water regions is very dangerous, as the reservoirs, rivers and vast distances, even the person who swim, swim to the middle because of fatigue or spasms or inability to cramps also drowned in the incident took place. A number of rubber tires, plastic-inflatable air charge and water toys, bring on shore inconvenience inflatable trouble, in the water in case of sharp objects (such as corner stones, tree branches in the flood) stimulation, or too much force or aging out of plastic lead to air leak easily, so security performance is unreliable. And some type of foam used as learning to swim in a lifejacket swimwear, as the floating-body move up, or to leave inappositely the swimmer body and dislocation; or because the band is too strong to use banding rough, skin abrasions, people feel uncomfortable. I had invented and made life-saving to learn swim swimwear, in the past few years of use, there are still some issues.

For example, fat people wear it easily up slip, general hominess plastic foam easily aging, not soft enough to wear, after skilled swimwear floating body cannot make attenuation and so on.

3. Summary of the invention

The purpose of present invention is to solve the above problems, provide safe and reliable assurance for people who can't swim learn to swim, and also provide security tool for water sports entertainment for people who can swim.

Any person who puts on it can lie down to sleep safe and sound on the water surface, like a person lying quietly supine sleep in the chair. So it is called "sleep-lying type".

The present invention is based on the following approach to achieve the above objectives, and solve the technical problems of the technology used in the program as described below. First of all, the soft closed-cell foam sheets replace air cell or hard thick foam, so that the floating-body is safe and soft.

to Secondly, the elastic swimwear fabrics replace the inelastic canvas, so that the swimwear is flexible and comfortable, change irritation of rough to soft and comfortable. Thereafter to make flexible packaging bags, adopt both horizontal and vertical flexibility (in every direction) of high-quality swimwear fabrics (such as spandex), style and create into a number of small cells, and then in each of the small cell is filled with the density of small soft closed-cell plastic foam(such as soft SLDPE), each the thickness of sheet about 5mm or so, to fill into 2-3 sheets thickness in the front chest pack and the rear back pack, to fill into 1-2 sheets thickness in the abdomen pack can. To fill into 4-5 sheets thickness in the head part, hand part and foot part of the piece can be separated. Such a swirnwear, can by the front chest, rear back, head, hand (2 pieces), foot (2 pieces) a total of 2-7 big pieces of separate structure, can produce as the main buoyancy. This floating-body is not afraid of pinprick knife to prick and doesn't need to repeat the filling to ensure the safety. Between the separate pieces to adopt elastic band or elastic swimwear fabric directly connected respectively, and to make contact with the body parts in close contact to regulate the length of the elastic, so that they bear an appropriate width, you can delete the common defects of general life jacket, make the person be dressed in soft and comfortable, the resistance is very small when you are swimming. In order to prevent aging of elastic, and then the outside sew a U disk or cellular phone connecting belts with the safety plug-in buckle. In order to prevent the floating body to up float, at the waist to install a campaign-style trousers elastic waistband, wear a nylon belt fastener, when most people have to wear would not escape from the body. But now more people are obese, due to deep breathing exercise, the waistband by the buoyancy effect will be on the slip relative to the human body. Therefore, under the waistband can be fitted together a common bathing trunks, so that in the waist elastic waistband, hip shorts soft fabric pull force function, can guarantee to floating body not to escape from body, close to chest and back, make the person feel comfortable. With the addition of the head, hands, feet floating body five separate, the thickness of floating body that on chest and back part than ordinary life jacket thin two-thirds, learning to swim will not feel awkward.

When swimming skills progress gradually, you can gradually remove the feet, hands and head of the separation block. After should being able to a swimming, can also take out the plastic foam that on chest and back part to gradually. Skilled people to swim, as long as there is a layer of swimwear thickness can, some people can also removal part of the foam within the cells, as long as guarantee when the hands and feet do not row water, the mouth can be exposed to the surface to breathe. Because the plastics foam in the swimwear is very thin and be dressed in soft, swimming almost have no resistance, this is largest characteristics the swimwear to discriminate between other life jacket.

The advantages of this present invention are: easy to carry, does not need to repeat inflate; it would not leak, with the advantages of safe and reliable life jackets. through improved, but also ruled out the life jackets thick and stupid and escape from a human body easily and upward while being dressed in and chafe the weakness of human body skin,and make the person feel comfortable, the resistance is very small while swimming. Because the swimwear in the armpit part have no augmentative thickness that because of float a body, resistance have never made user's arm and human body increased to collide or rub thus, no matter whether you can swimming or not, anyone who put on it can flexibly move in the water with ease, can be vertical, can also lie-down, specially suited for learning to swim. When learning to swim in line with the principle of gradual and orderly progress. People who swim in water recreation, when swimming, the resistance is very small, no energy or spastic limbs can also ensure safety.

5. Detailed description of the preferred embodiment With reference to Figure 1, the adult life-saving swimwear is composed of the wide flat elastic (1), floating-body (2), outside bag (3), elastic waistband (4), fastening belt (5), bathing trunks (6).To enable the floating body in close coordination with the human body, will be evenly divided into small pieces (put one in each cell with dotted line, according to the design of the thickness, put foam 2-3 pieces), put into elastic fabric bag outside the small bag. Wide flat elastic (1) straps for the shoulder, armpit and waist to connect with. To ensure safety, plus elastic waistband (4) on waist, which can be placed in a wide flat elastic belt, the middle can be used together with a more solid as a fastening belt (5), to adjust their level of each elastic waist. The swimwear is made up of the front chest and rear back same two, alone the usage can make the to person be straightened to water in, so like make the swimmer to learn in the same feeling on the ground and fearless. To reduce costs, applicable to vulnerable groups, only the appropriate increase in the thickness of floating body, it can be used for adults, so it can be called adult life-saving swimwear.

The thickness of floating-body can be related to physics buoyancy; density, volume, etc have been calculated.

With reference to Figure 2, children's life-saving swimwear and adult life-saving swimwear production method is the same, only characteristics of children, sizes of chest and back are smaller, and the small floating body can be decreased, but the thickness can be increased.

With reference to Figure 3, the head and foot separation of blocks can get the same size, with wide flat elastic belt, outside bag (7), floating-body (8) to With reference to Figure 4, the hand separation of block is half of the size, but production method is the same as Figure 3.

With reference to Figure 5, the front chest (13), rear back (14), have the same size and area with Figure 1, but the thickness can be reduced. For the purpose of lying sleep, it needs to be equipped with foot floating body separating of blocks (9, 10), hand floating body separating of blocks (11, 12), head floating-body separate pieces (15), it is just composed of five separate pieces of a group. Thin shorts can be folded to the inside. When the hands, feet open as ")"form supine, as a result of resistance to reverse the torque capacity, the human body gravity center is low, the human body is in a stable state of equilibrium, so we can lie in the water surface in a stable sleep.

With reference to Figure 6, in order to carry easily, the swimwear can be made into three big pieces of the same volume (see Figure 5), and put into the special gripsack.The special gripsack be constitutive of outer plastic packaging bag (20), rivet holes (19), hand-held line (17), dustproof cover (18). Its cover the mouth pull-available dual-magnet, its bottom of the four rivet holes can be used as drain hole (19).

Life-saving swimsuit in the series of three commonly used in additions to the above, according to the same invention creation conceive outline, can also change the form, shape into the type of miss body, toys, luxury go to summer resort. By volume changes, it can also be made for water load, life-saving, catch, dive, exploration and other forms series of products.

With reference to Figure 7, when you put on it, and regulate the location of hand and foot separation blocks in the human body, can stable be lying on the surface of the water. If you really want to sleep lying on the water, so long as between the hands, feet, respectively, so long as you fix a connecting rod (23), greater than shoulder width between the two hands, feet, respectively. The both ends of rods have spring fasteiier snap-ring. You can use two plastic hollow cylmdrical small rods, the rods smaller than water density, so that even when sleeping, but also to ensure a stable balance of torque, you can really sleep safely on the surface of the water, like in a cozy chair. When it is sunny, you may wear a hat similar to a lotus leaf, a long-handled topee (24), or equip other forms (portability, anti-wave-type) of guard against water rain topee, then can make the person is under the hot sun of blazing hot intense heat, wear the swimwear without worrying, safe and sound sleep to lie down in the blue waves of water, immersed in the massage of the rippling blue waters, how pleasing! Ah! A long period of time in order to prevent the older, wide flat elastic aging, loss of flexibility, in all wide flat elastic belt coupled with safety plug-in buckle of connecting belt (similar to U disk or mobile phone hanging belt buckle kind of connection with plug) (21), two materials together, play a dual role of insurance.

In order to facilitate communication and life-saving, need to be near the neckline in the swimwear, create two the spare pockets (22) that has nylon hasp cover, a small pocket to put a life-saving plastic whistle; one pocket can be installed in two-double slide fastener type hermetic plastic bags, can be loaded handset etc stores.

With reference to Figure 8, women's life-saving swimwear, the upper body is connected with the shorts, and in shorts it has also some sn-iall cells, inside put thickness for 1-2 slices of the floating body, such upper body parts can be reduced to the thickness of 1-2 slices of the floating-body. If you are a skilled swimmers, you only need the thickness of 1 slices, you can make the mouth and head above the water surface when you backstroke, the hands and foot don't movement is also can't sink. Men's swimming competitions in the world, the male contestant have to wear upper body and shorts to connect a together as female type swimwear. Learn how to swim can be equipped with head and hands and feet 5 Department floating body of separate pieces.

With reference to Figure 9, it is a connecting rod which is able to float or bend. It is a hollow plastic rod (25) using the density smaller than water, with a built-in metal materials like aluminum foil shielding ring, so that the plastic rod will be able to use power to arbitrary change bend or straight. If you do not use force, it can maintain a certain degree of bending. In the small rod's two ends, using high-temperature bonding method plastic pipe will be flattened, and closed the air in tube. The rustless-metal key chain-lock loop with spring-fastener (26) is installed at rod's be flattened. Lying in the water surface, when people fall asleep, the turn will reduce the reverse torque, in order to ensure stability, to prevent choking mouth water, the two rod's ends may be connected with two hand and two foot separation of the elastic-band blocks respectively, and regulation of the two hands the distance between (at least more than shoulder width), so that a stable balance in the water to ensure to sleep without choking water.

With reference to Figure 10, it is a portability-type topee used in the quiet rivers and reservoirs and swimming poois of water. See the situation of its production to another patent (ZL200520 109404.0 CN 2865351Y amphibious eccentric cap folding travel). It can be worn under the hot sun to prevent excessive sun tan. It does not sink; it can be put inside the swimwear after being folded.

With reference to Figure 11-a and Figure 11-b, which is smaller in the choppy waves (waves less than 2 meters), lying in the waves on the bathing to beach, to prevent excessive sun tan topee type of anti-waves. (Anti-wave-style topee: guard against ocean wave type topee). Its structure is a thin rubber tyre (or high-strength plastic loop) is composed of the air cell (27), in air cell fixed to the folding of the umbrella-type tent topee (28).The topee on the water surface around the swimmer's head, the function of air cell is to make topee can float on water. Umbrella-style tent topee banding tape can be used in the air cell loop, covered in the upper part of the head, and a piece of longer string can be connected of swimwear, as key chain lock loop with spring-fastener can connecting or unloading off.

With reference to Figure 12, it is an umbrella-type tent of anti-wave-type topee be composed of the same 4 wire ioop, the outside seam in the fabric hat, and then connect into the form of tents.
