Abstract

The swimming aid comprises an inflatable cushion (10) made of folding material and attached to a bag (16) which encloses the folded non-inflated cushion (10) and has a belt (28) for securing the aid to the swimmer's body. The cushion is inflated preferably with pressurised gas such as carbon dioxide fed from a standard cartridge (42) into the cushion (10) via a valve (36).

Description

Descrizione Description

di brevetto per Modello di Utilità dal titolo: patent for a Utility Model entitled:

- DISPOSITIVO GALLEGGIANTE A GONFIAGGIO ISTANTANEO PER - INSTANT INFLATING FLOAT DEVICE FOR

Il presente trovato riguarda un dispositivo galleggiante di emergenza per uso personale di un nuotatore. The present invention relates to an emergency floating device for the personal use of a swimmer.

Scopo del presente trovato è di realizzare un dispositivo atto ad essere comodamente portato dall’ utilizzatore, in modo vincolato al suo corpo, che sia di minimo ingombro e non sia di impaccio ai movimenti quando è in configurazione inattiva, mentre ne può aiutare il galleggiamento se a ciò viene comandato. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device suitable for being comfortably carried by the user, in a way that is bound to his body, which is of minimum bulk and does not hinder movement when it is in an inactive configuration, while it can help its buoyancy if this is commanded.

Detto scopo viene raggiunto dal trovato in oggetto il quale comprende: Said object is achieved by the present invention which comprises:

- un involucro di tessuto comune, ripiegabile fino ad assumere una forma di ^parallelepipedo, collegato ad una cintura da allacciarsi in vita, il tutto simile a quei contenitori da tempo in uso e comunemente definiti “marsupio”. - an envelope of common fabric, foldable until it assumes a parallelepiped shape, connected to a belt to be fastened at the waist, all similar to those containers that have been in use for some time and commonly referred to as "pouch".

- un involucro di tessuto speciale definibile anche come cuscino a tenuta d’aria, impermeabile e particolarmente resistente, atto a venire gonfiato istantaneamente a partire da una configurazione floscia, vincolato all’involucro avanti descritto; Alla parte superiore è collegata una cordicella o fettuccia, il cui uso viene più avanti descritto. - un mezzo a valvola, fissato all’involucro gonfiabile, atto a porre in comunicazione, dietro comando, una piccola bombola contenente anidride carbonica (C02) compressa con l’involucro gonfiabile. - a special fabric envelope that can also be defined as an airtight, waterproof and particularly resistant cushion, capable of being inflated instantly starting from a limp configuration, bound to the envelope described below; A cord or tape is connected to the upper part, the use of which is described below. - a valve means, fixed to the inflatable envelope, designed to put in communication, upon command, a small cylinder containing carbon dioxide (C02) compressed with the inflatable envelope.

Il trovato viene esposto in dettaglio nel seguito con l’aiuto delle allegate figure che ne illustrano una forma, non esclusiva, di attuazione. The invention is explained in detail below with the help of the attached figures that illustrate a non-exclusive form of implementation.

Le figure 1 e 2 sono due viste prospettiche del dispositivo, nelle quali l’involucro gonfiabile è in configurazione floscia, ripiegata e racchiusa dentro l’involucro simile ad un “marsupio” Figures 1 and 2 are two perspective views of the device, in which the inflatable envelope is in a floppy configuration, folded and enclosed within the envelope similar to a "pouch"

La figura 3 è una vista prospettica del dispositivo, nella quale l’involucro gonfiabile è in configurazione gonfiata, mentre l’involucro simile ad un "marsupio” è completamente aperto. Figure 3 is a perspective view of the device, in which the inflatable envelope is in an inflated configuration, while the envelope similar to a "pouch" is completely open.

Nelle figure in oggetto l’involucro ripiegabile simile a un “marsupio” è indicato con il numero 10 e la cintura da allacciare in vita con il numero 11. In the figures in question, the foldable envelope similar to a "pouch" is indicated with the number 10 and the belt to be fastened at the waist with the number 11.

L’involucro gonfiabile 12 è atto a venire rigonfiato istantaneamente, a partire da una configurazione floscia, in modo tale da assumere una forma a parallelepipedo, con angoli e spigoli più o meno arrotondati. The inflatable envelope 12 is able to be inflated instantly, starting from a floppy configuration, in such a way as to assume a parallelepiped shape, with more or less rounded corners and edges.

Una cordicella 13, o fettuccia, collegata alla parte superiore dell’involucro, può essere, sia prima di procedere al gonfiaggio che negli attimi susseguenti al gonfiaggio, passata sopra alla nuca per cingere il collo dell’utilizzatore, e bloccare così l’involucro gonfiabile contro il petto dello stesso, che potrà anche, se del caso, cingere l’involucro con le braccia, per assumere una posizione supina e meglio galleggiare in superficie. A cord 13, or tape, connected to the upper part of the envelope, can be, both before proceeding with the inflation and in the moments following the inflation, passed over the nape to surround the user's neck, and thus block the inflatable envelope against the chest of the same, which can also, if necessary, surround the envelope with the arms, to assume a supine position and better float on the surface.

All’involucro gonfiabile 12 è fissato un mezzo a valvola 14, per porre in comunicazione, dietro comando, una piccola bombola 15 contenente anidride carbonica (C02) compressa con l’involucro gonfiabile stesso. A valve means 14 is fixed to the inflatable envelope 12, to put in communication, upon command, a small cylinder 15 containing compressed carbon dioxide (C02) with the inflatable envelope itself.

Il mezzo a valvola 14 comprende un corpo in plastica, avente una camera interna chiusa, comunicante da un lato con l’involucro gonfiabile e dall’altro con la bocca della piccola bombola 15 contenente l’anidride carbonica (CO2) compressa. The valve means 14 comprises a plastic body, having a closed internal chamber, communicating on one side with the inflatable envelope and on the other with the mouth of the small cylinder 15 containing compressed carbon dioxide (CO2).

Entro la camera è posto un corpo mobile, cilindrico, avente una estremità appuntita atta a trapassare la membrana metallica che chiude la bocca della bombola, e contemporaneamente atta ad impedire, per mezzo di guarnizioni di gomma, la fuoriuscita dell’anidride carbonica (CO2) all’esterno del dispositivo. Inside the chamber there is a movable, cylindrical body, having a pointed end able to pierce the metal membrane that closes the mouth of the cylinder, and at the same time able to prevent, by means of rubber gaskets, the escape of carbon dioxide (CO2) outside the device.

Un leva sagomata a mo’ di camma, se trascinata per mezzo di una cordicella, spinge il corpo mobile cilindrico contro la bocca della bomboletta, fino a portare l’estremità appuntita a trapassare la membrana metallica che la chiude, liberando cosi istantaneamente l’anidride carbonica (CO2) compressa che rigonfia istantaneamente l’involucro gonfiabile. A cam-shaped lever, if dragged by means of a cord, pushes the cylindrical movable body against the mouth of the can, until the pointed end pierces the metal membrane that closes it, thus instantly releasing the anhydride carbon dioxide (CO2) compressed that instantly inflates the inflatable envelope.

Quest’ultimo assume quindi la configurazione precedentemente detta, fornendo all’utilizzatore, in virtù di ben noti principi fisici, e come un qualsiasi corpo galleggiante, una spinta ascensionale tale da rendere più agevole il galleggiamento. The latter then assumes the previously mentioned configuration, providing the user, by virtue of well-known physical principles, and like any floating body, an upward thrust such as to make floating easier.

Ovviamente al trovato in oggetto potranno venire apportate modifiche di natura pratica applicativa, senza con ciò uscire dall’ambito della idea inventiva come sotto rivendicata. Obviously, modifications of a practical applicative nature may be made to the invention, without thereby departing from the scope of the inventive idea as claimed below.
