Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an auxiliary float tool for beginners of swimming and physical handicapped person in a swimming pool without limiting the movement of both arms and both legs and without generating a displacement of the installation position due to the water flow. SOLUTION: A surface float 2 and a back surface float 3 are fitted for fixation to a waist belt 1 to be wrapped around a waist of a user A. The front float 2 and the back surface float 3 are tightly fitted to the waist part, namely a narrowed part between a lower part of the breath bone and an upper part of the pelvis, for installation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an auxiliary float for swimming, especially for beginners and physically handicapped persons in a swimming pool.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The prior art has used a very simple and primitive float such as using a peat plate, wrapping a float around a body, or attaching a small air bag to a wrist. In addition, lifejacket-style floats such as life jackets and life vests are bulky and are not at all suitable as auxiliary floats for swimming.

[0003]

According to the prior art, when a person who cannot swim very much uses a float for swimming practice, the float does not allow free movement of both hands. There was a problem that a floating tool could not be used when trying to move the arm freely, and a hand could not be moved when trying to rely on the floating tool. In particular, with the increasing number of swimming enthusiasts of the physically handicapped, there has been a demand for a float that allows the limb to freely exercise without holding the float.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a life jacket system or a life vest system in which the upper body is wrapped with a buoyant body, which has been considered common in the prior art, is changed to a belt system, and a wide belt is used. Attach the float, which is the buoyancy body of the floater, to the front and back of the waist of the body and take measures to wind it around the waist of the body.

[0005]

According to the above means, the front float, which is a buoyant body located on the front abdomen, and the back float, located on the back, are stable in a state in which the waist is narrowed, that is, between the lower sternum and the upper pelvis. Can be attached
At the same time, the buoyancy of the body itself is increased in addition to the buoyancy of the body itself, and an effect of not impairing the motor function of both hands is produced.

[0006]

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG.
Is the body. 1 is a waist belt, 2 is a front float fixedly attached to the waist belt 1, and 3 is a back float. Each of the front float 2 and the back float 3 is fixedly attached to the waist belt 1 and the body float. The waist portion, that is, the constricted portion between the lower part of the sternum and the upper part of the pelvis, is formed so as to be fitted in close contact.
Reference numeral 4 denotes a buckle connecting the left and right free ends of the waist belt 1.

[0007]

According to the present invention, unlike a conventional life jacket or a life vest style float that wraps the entire upper body with a buoyant body, the waist portion of the body torso, that is, between the lower sternum and the upper pelvis, Since the float, which is a buoyant body, is contained in the buoyant body, the float can be stably mounted without being displaced by the water flow. In addition, since the movement of both hands and arms can be freely performed, swimming practice can be effectively performed. In particular, in the case of a physically handicapped person, the movement of the limb is not restricted and does not hinder the movement of the body, so that there is an effect that it can be effectively used as an auxiliary float.
