SWIMMING DEVICE.
Application filed. May 26, 1926. Serial No. 111,834.
This invention relates to swimming clevices embodying buoyant disk members adapted to be worn upon the hands of swimmers to facilitate greater acceleration, due to the surface afforded, other and in contra-distinction to the cups formed by a swimmers hand.
An object of the invention is to provide means for communicating the ends of strap members carried by the disk members and stretched across the body of a swimmer to position said disk members upon the opposite sides of the swimmers body in the instance of floating.
More specifically stated the disk members are concave upon both sides to conform to the natural cup of the hand and afford an additional cup to facilitate a proper resistance against the water.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention further includes the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is an elevation of the invention.
Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is an illustration ofthe manner by means of which the device may be worn when floating a swimmer.
Figure l is a perspective of the invention.
Referring to the drawings in .detail wherein like characters of reference, denote .corresponding parts, the buoyant disk members, as mentioned in the foregoing, constitute complimental disks 10 and 11 respectively. The disk 10 is concave-convex. Thedisks 11 are slightly concave upon one side and provide an offset annular flange 12 upon the marginal edges thereof and adapted to receive the periphery of the disk 10. An air space is thus defined between respective disks to render the device, as completed, buoyant.
The disks 10 provide spaced yokes 13 through which straps 14 are received and in turn carry buckles or other adjusting means 15 to regulate the device upon the hands of swimmers. One or both of the straps 14 may carry pins 16, or other securing devices to associate the free ends of the straps in position in the manner as illustrated in Figure L of the drawings. in the instance of utilizing the invention as a floating apparatus substantially illustrated as a Figure 3 of the drawings.
The concave-convex configuration of the disks 10 are adapted to closely resemble and conform to the natural cup of the human hand so that the devices when applied will in no way cramp or cause any discomfort to the wearer. The concaved side of the disks 11 are adapted to create and pro vide the proper resistance against the water. And more so than a cupped-hand owing to the dimensions and size of the devices.
The invention is particularly useful and effective when used for diving; the devices are clapped together and the arms extended and upon entering the water will tend to be retracted, due ,to the buoyancy thereof, thereby causing, a quicker ascension to the surface.
The invention may be also effectively used as a floating apparatus by amateur swimmers.
This invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions and minor details of constructions, and the right is herein reserved to make such changes as properly fall'within the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention what is claimed is:
1. A swimming device comprising complimental disk members, said disks are interassociated in spaced relation to render the same buoyant, and one of the disk members is concave to provide for and facilitate the proper resistance against the water.
2. A swimming device comprising complimental disk members, one of the disks being concaval-convex in configuration to conform to the natural cup of the hand, the remaining disk is slightly concave, and the marginal edges of said disk provide an off-set annular flange to receive the periphery of the first mentioned disk member.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
OSCAR Gr. PIKE.
