Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reliably check the distance of swimming and walking underwater in a severe situation where the usage environment is frequently exposed to water or water splashes, even after repeated use and repeated use, without damage or failure, and convenient to carry it can.
SOLUTION: A plurality of pearls 1 formed in a disk shape are configured to pass through a rod 2 having a rust-proof surface or made of a rust-proof material, which is arranged on the start side of the pool side, By manually moving the beads 1 on the rod 2 every time the pool is reciprocated by swimming or the like, the number of reciprocations and the distance corresponding thereto are confirmed.

Description

The present invention relates to a swimming distance confirmation device capable of confirming a distance that a person has swam or walked while swimming or walking underwater in a pool.

Many people have traditionally been swimming to maintain health, improve physical fitness, relieve stress, etc., and recently have continued underwater walks as an easy lifelong sport. However, how many times I went back and forth in the pool, that is, how many meters I swam and walked, had to rely solely on my memory. As a solution to these problems, there is a “device for recording the distance swam” (for example, see Document 1).
Further, as a simpler and simpler one, there is a “swimming distance confirmation plate” that uses a magnet button that is formed so that the display surface is attracted by a magnet and the surface is colored as a movement index member. (For example, refer to Document 2).

However, because the former “device that records the distance of swimming” is complex and precise, the usage environment is severe enough to be frequently exposed to water or water splashes, so that the number of uses and aging is repeated. There was a problem that the possibility of breakage and failure increased.
In addition, the latter “swimming distance confirmation plate” has a problem that the magnet cannot be used because the magnet is moved too far out of the frame on the plate or the magnet itself is lost.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and aims to provide a swimming distance confirmation device that is simple and simple in structure, does not have to worry about rusting, and has no fear of breakage or failure. And

  The present invention is a swimming distance checker that is arranged on the start side of the pool side and displays the number of times of reciprocating the pool and the distance corresponding thereto, and is a plurality of disk-shaped or spherical shapes that are manually moved each time the pool is reciprocated. The first feature is that it comprises a single pearl and a single rod having a rust-proof surface or made of a rust-proof material through the plurality of pearls.

  A second feature is that the rod is provided with a name plate.

  Furthermore, a third feature is that the stick is provided with a suction cup.

As described above, the following effects can be obtained by using the present invention.
(1) The structure is simple and simple, and the material does not rust strongly against water.
(2) If a nameplate is attached to a rod through which a pearl is passed, it will prevent loss and theft, and you can clearly see the distinction between yourself and others while one course in the pool is in use. Therefore, misuse of using another person's thing can be prevented.
(3) If a sucker is provided on the rod through which the beads are passed, it can be fixed to the wall surface of the pool as appropriate in the horizontal and vertical directions. Can be efficient.
(4) If it is compact, it can be carried in a swimming cap and is convenient to carry.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is an elevation view showing a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an elevation view showing a second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is an elevational view showing a third embodiment of the present invention.

  In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a polystyrene bead formed in a disk shape. Although ten pieces are provided in this embodiment, a plurality of pieces may be provided as appropriate, and the number is not limited to ten. Further, the pearl is not limited to the polystyrene foam but may be other plastics or wood. In this embodiment, the pearl is formed in a disc shape, but is not limited to this and may be spherical. It is easier to check the distance of swimming or walking underwater if you decide the distance of one pearl by color, or in some cases, write the unit distance on an easy-to-detach tape etc. Become.

  Reference numeral 2 denotes a stainless steel rod through which the beads 1 are passed, and stopper portions 3 are provided at both ends so that the beads 1 cannot be removed. The material of the rod 2 is not limited to stainless steel, and may be a metal rod or a plastic rod whose surface is rust-proofed by plating or the like. Since the rod 2 does not rust even if it is immersed in water, it can be used for a long time. It is preferable that the bead 1 is fitted to the rod 2 slightly tightly so that it moves when it is moved by hand and does not automatically move otherwise.

  FIG. 2 shows a swimming distance confirmation device in which a name plate 4 is rotatably attached to one end of the rod 2 of the first embodiment. Attaching the nameplate 4 will prevent loss and theft, and the misuse of using another person's one can be clearly seen when using one course in the pool with multiple people. Can be prevented.

  FIG. 3 shows a swimming distance confirmation device in which a suction cup 5 is rotatably attached to the other end of the rod 2 in FIG. The suction cup 5 may be rotatably mounted on both ends of the bar 2. It can be appropriately fixed in the horizontal direction or the vertical direction on the wall surface of the pool, and the pearl can be moved immediately compared to the case where it is arranged without the suction cup 5 on the flat part, and the efficiency is improved. Furthermore, if the suction cup 4 is also fixed when it is disposed on the flat surface portion, movement due to rolling of the beads 2 is prevented.

  The size of the rod 2 and the beads 1 is not particularly limited, but the beads 1 are 2 cm in diameter and 2 cm in diameter, and the rod 2 is 15 cm in length and 0.3 cm in diameter, so that it is compact and convenient to carry.

  The swimming distance checker of the present invention allows a person who swims or walks underwater to manually move a disk-shaped pearl one by one to the left or right each time the shuttle moves back and forth. By counting, you can check the distance you swim and walk underwater.

It is an elevation view which shows 1st embodiment of the swimming distance confirmation device which concerns on this invention. It is an elevation view which shows 2nd embodiment of the swimming distance confirmation device which concerns on this invention. It is an elevation view which shows 3rd embodiment of the swimming distance confirmation device which concerns on this invention.
