Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to swimming equipment that allows even people who cannot swim to easily enjoy swimming.

[Prior art]

As is well known, swimming refers to the movement of a person using their hands and feet to float or stay afloat in water, but until now swimming equipment such as this had not been developed, so swimming People who cannot swim are absolutely unable to swim, and many people who cannot swim only play in the water using circular or bed-shaped tubes, and are unable to enjoy the true pleasure of swimming. .

Furthermore, even if you are a good swimmer, the reality is that as you get older, your physical strength declines and you are unable to swim even if you want to.

[Purpose of the invention] Taking the above-mentioned points into consideration, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a device that allows anyone, regardless of gender or age, as long as they can move only their arms, to easily enjoy swimming.

[Summary of the idea]

To achieve the above object, the present invention includes a main body made of a floating body, a front plate provided horizontally at the tip of the main body to stabilize the main body, and one end located below the front of the main body. It has a water paddle supported by a hinge, a means for holding the water paddle in an upright position with respect to the main body, and a means for retaining a state in which water is drawn in when the water web falls toward the main body, and further includes a water paddle along the lower part of the main body. This is a swimming gear provided with means for inserting and grasping the arm.

[Effect]

The user inserts his/her arm into the lower part of the buoyant main body and grasps the lower part of the main body. By pushing the main body forward, the paddles attached to the lower surface of the main body by hinges meet the resistance of the water and fold downwards, eliminating resistance and allowing the main body to move forward easily. can be done. Next, by pulling the main body that has been advanced in the above manner backwards, the water webs are spread out on the bottom surface of the main body in a predetermined state due to the resistance of the water, and the user receives a large amount of resistance. will move forward.

In this way, the user compensates for his or her lack of buoyancy with the buoyant main body, and by repeating the simple movements of "pushing and pulling the main body" as described above, the user can stay underwater. Even beginners who are not confident in their ability to float can easily enjoy swimming.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the swimming device of the present invention has a main body 1 whose front part A and rear part B are streamlined and whose cross section is cylindrical, and has a large number of bulkheads 2 integrated therein. A large number of spaces 3 are formed in the space.

A diamond-shaped front plate 4 is integrally attached to the lower surface of the front part of the main body 1 in order to stabilize the main body 1 (horizontally) when the main body 1 is pulled backwards. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a paddle 5 is provided on the section so as to be swingable by means of a hinge. The front surface of the paddle 5 is provided with a swing prevention piece 6, that is, a means for maintaining the paddle 5 in a state where it stands up and receives maximum resistance, and the rear surface thereof is provided with a spacing maintaining piece 7, that is, the paddle 5 is provided with the main body. Means for maintaining the distance between the bottom surface of the main body 1 and the lower surface of the main body 1 in an inclined state where the rear side is slightly opened when the webbed plate 5 falls to the side 1 is provided. It is expanded perpendicularly to the face plate 4 at an angle of 90°, and when the main body 1 moves forward, it is folded to such an extent that the spacing maintenance pieces 7 come into contact with the front plate 4 as shown in FIG.

A pair of safety walls 10 are installed on both sides of the main body 1 behind the front plate 4, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and a handle 8 is installed between these safety walls 10. A rubber band 9 is attached to the rear thereof. That is, the user extends his arm below the main body 1 and inserts it, and by grasping the handle 8, the user inserts the arm into the main body 1.
can be integrated.

When using the present invention configured as described above, the user A can use one device by fitting one device into each arm B or only one device B. The operation and effect thereof will be explained below.

When using the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the arm B is fitted into the rubber band 9, pushed between the safety walls 10, and the handle 8 is grasped. When the user A enters the water in this state, the body of the user A can float on the water due to the buoyancy created by the space 3 of the main body 1. When the arm holding the handle 8 is pushed out in the desired direction as shown in Fig. 7, the water paddle 5 attached to the front plate 4 collides with the water and the main body 1 is moved as shown in Fig. 6.
The main body 1 moves forward while being folded in the opposite direction to the direction in which the main body 1 moves.

At this time, since the distance maintaining piece 7 is brought into close contact with the front plate 4, the end of the web 5 is not brought into close contact with a certain distance, that is, only the width l of the end of the distance maintaining piece.

When the swimmer A pulls the main body 1 backward again from the state where the arm B is fully extended (Fig. 7), the paddles 5 are not in complete contact with the front plate 4, so the paddles 5 and the front plate are separated. The paddles 5 are widened at a constant interval l' between 4 and 5 so that they are exposed to the resistance of the water. At this time, the swing restraining pieces 6 come into contact with the front plate 4 and are expanded by an angle of 90 degrees as shown in FIG. When the paddles 5 are fully expanded in this manner, the water resistance is severe and the retreat of the main body 1 is braked, and the person pulling the main body 1 backward is propelled forward by the reaction.

Next, when arm B is fully bent and arm B is stretched out and pulled again in the manner described above, the body of person A will naturally move forward. But you can enjoy swimming very easily.

On the other hand, in the present invention, the front plate 4 has the function of dividing the flow of water into upper and lower parts and the function of preventing the main body 1 from rolling from side to side when being pulled underwater, and the safety wall 10 has the function of keeping the balance of the main body 1 underwater. It also serves to protect user A's arm B and hand C.

The web 5 corresponds to the palm of a person's hand, and is the tip of the main body 1, which corresponds to an arm.As the main body 1 moves back and forth, the web 5 forms a predetermined angle with respect to the main body 1 due to water resistance. It must be configured so that it can be opened and closed. For this purpose, it is necessary to provide means for taking two postures (angles) between the paddle 5 and the main body 1 on both sides of the paddle 5, as in the embodiment described above.

In addition, a front plate 4 is provided horizontally in front of the main body 1 to protrude like a fin, but the main body 1
It is also possible to configure the device to have a similar effect depending on its shape.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, by inserting the arm of the user into the lower surface of the main body 1 having buoyancy and grasping the front side of the main body 1, the user can push the water board forward to the front of the main body 1. 5 encounters water resistance and falls down with a certain space between it and the main body 1 so that water can be scraped in, and when the main body 1 is pulled next time, It is constructed so as to exhibit maximum resistance to water standing up on the lower surface of the main body 1 and being scraped. Furthermore, the main body 1 is provided with a front plate 4 for stabilizing the main body 1, and the following effects can be achieved.

B. Since the main body 1 forms a kind of floating body, even people who cannot swim can float by using the buoyancy of the main body 1.

The main body 1 is stable in a horizontal state while floating on the water surface, and the user can move forward easily by simply moving his arm back and forth, as the webbed plate 5 swings open and close relative to the body 1. Therefore, regardless of age or gender, swimming can be enjoyed extremely easily.

(b) For people who can swim, by wearing this device they can not only increase their speed, but also be able to withstand long periods of swimming with the help of buoyancy.
