Tiene en su parte superior una empuñadura adaptable a la mano de la persona que lo utilice, quien en el momento de agarrarlo, posibilita que sus extremidades útiles superiores pueden hacer las funciones de las extremidades inferiores. A partir de esta realización, el FUTMAN se caracteriza esencialmente por su ligereza y adaptabilidad, así como por su fácil manejo para controlar y golpear el balón desde una silla de ruedas. El FUTMAN va suspendido en un soporte que se adapta indistintamente sobre las barras laterales delanteras situadas a ambos lados de la silla de ruedas, de forma que da total libertad al deportista para la utilización de sus extremidades superiores a la hora de realizar todo tipo de desplazamientos con la silla de ruedas, utilizando la parte delantera de ésta para conducir el balón.It has in its upper part an adaptable handle to the hand of the person who uses it, who at the time of grabbing it, allows its upper useful extremities to be able to perform the functions of the lower extremities. From this embodiment, the FUTMAN is essentially characterized by its lightness and adaptability, as well as its easy handling to control and hit the ball from a wheelchair. The FUTMAN is suspended in a support that adapts indistinctly on the front side bars located on both sides of the wheelchair, so that it gives the athlete complete freedom to use his upper limbs when making all kinds of movements with the wheelchair, using the front of it to drive the ball.
Descripción modo de realización mediante dibujos:Description of embodiment by means of drawings:
Para la mejor comprensión de cuanto queda descrito en la presente memoria, se acompañan unos dibujos en los que, tan sólo a título de ejemplo, se representan las diferentes piezas que componen el FUTMAN y la posible forma de ensamblaje entre ellas.For the best understanding of what is described herein, some drawings are attached in which, by way of example only, the different pieces that make up the FUTMAN and the possible form of assembly between them are represented.
En dichos dibujos la Fig. 1 es una vista en alzado lateral del FUTMAN; la Fig. 2 es una vista en alzado lateral del FUTMAN introducido en un soporte que a su vez está fijado a la barra delantera lateral de la silla de ruedas; la Fig. 3 es una vista en alzado lateral del FUTMAN; la Fig. 4 es una vista frontal del FUTMAN; la Fig. 5 es una vista en planta delIn said drawings Fig. 1 is a side elevation view of the FUTMAN; Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of the FUTMAN inserted into a support which in turn is fixed to the side front wheelbar of the wheelchair; Fig. 3 is a side elevation view of the FUTMAN; Fig. 4 is a front view of the FUTMAN; Fig. 5 is a plan view of the
FUTMAN que junto a las figuras anteriores 3 y 4 nos da perfecta idea de la volumetría del FUTMAN. La Fig. 6 es una vista en alzado lateral donde se observa todo el ensamblaje interno de las piezas que forman elFUTMAN that together with the previous figures 3 and 4 gives us a perfect idea of the volumetry of the FUTMAN. Fig. 6 is a side elevation view where the entire internal assembly of the pieces that form the
