Trata a presente invenção de dispositivo e método para transporte de equipamentos e correlatos através da zona de arrebentação, mais precisamente, o dispositivo e respectivo método de transporte compreendem uma âncora e uma lançadeira especialmente projetadas, onde a âncora carrega um cabo duplo cujas extremidades livres permanecem na praia, permitindo, desta feita, o transporte de equipamentos e outros apetrechos entre a praia e a região pós zona de arrebentação de praias arenosas, dispensando o uso de embarcações para tal.

FUNDAMENTOS DA TÉCNICA TECHNICAL BACKGROUNDS
A área costeira é uma região extremamente dinâmica onde variações batimétricas ocorrem continuamente devido à ação das ondas, do vento e de correntes.  The coastal area is an extremely dynamic region where bathymetric variations occur continuously due to the action of waves, wind and currents.
É sabido que o ecossistema de praia arenosa, como a região costeira, é formado por ondas que retrabalham ativamente o sedimento, ou seja, é um local de alta instabilidade, abrangendo desde o mesolitoral, ou região entre-marés, até aproximadamente 20 m de profundidade. É de conhecimento dos habilitados que as praias arenosas são afetadas por processos eólicos, hidráulicos e biológicos e, como conseq uência, sofrem mudanças morfológicas e trocas de sedimentos com as regiões próximas. Esses sedimentos são compostos quase totalmente por areias, de diversos tamanhos, como areias grosseiras e areias finas. It is known that the sandy beach ecosystem, such as the coastal region, is formed by waves that actively rework the sediment, that is, a place of high instability, ranging from the mesolittoral, or intertidal region, to approximately 20 m depth. It is well known to the skilled that sandy beaches are affected by wind processes, and, as a consequence, undergo morphological changes and sediment exchange with nearby regions. These sediments are composed almost entirely of sands of various sizes, such as coarse sands and fine sands.
A zona de arrebentação, por sua vez, pode ser definida como a porção do perfil de praia onde ocorre o fenómeno da arrebentação. Na medida em que ocorre a arrebentação, a energia contida nas ondas é dissipada, sendo que a altura da arrebentação é limitada pela profundidade.  The surf zone, in turn, can be defined as the portion of the beach profile where the surf phenomenon occurs. As the breakage occurs, the energy contained in the waves is dissipated, and the height of the breakage is limited by the depth.
Apesar da relevante importância dos processos litorâneos responsáveis pela remobilização de sedimentos, muitas perguntas ainda permanecem sem respostas conclusivas sobre os principais processos atuantes. Um dos principais impedimentos em se testar o grande número de teorias encontradas na literatura reside na dificuldade em se obter medições do perfil de praia submerso.  Despite the relevant importance of the coastal processes responsible for sediment remobilization, many questions still remain without conclusive answers about the main active processes. One of the main impediments to testing the large number of theories found in the literature is the difficulty in obtaining submerged beach profile measurements.
ANÁLISE DO ESTADO DA TÉCNICA TECHNICAL STATE ANALYSIS
Técnicas convencionais de levantamento batimétrico, empregando embarcações anfíbias ou barcos hid rográficos, geralmente apresentam custos proibitivos para se obter perfis nas escalas temporais de interesse, que variam de dias a anos. Adicionalmente, essas técnicas são extremamente dependentes do estado de mar, não permitindo levantamentos em situações de ondas grandes, justamente quando os processos de transporte sedimentar ocorrem mais intensamente.  Conventional bathymetric surveying techniques, employing amphibious vessels or hydrographic vessels, often have prohibitive costs to obtain profiles on time scales of interest, which vary from days to years. Additionally, these techniques are extremely dependent on the sea state, not allowing surveys in large wave situations, precisely when sedimentary transport processes occur most intensely.
Técnicas para determinação de perfis submersos podem ser genericamente divididas em dois tipos, quais sejam, remotas ou 'in situ'. Técnicas remotas apresentam como maior vantagem sua grande cobertura espacial, sem as descontinuidades típicas de técnicas de perfilação Ί'η situ'. Porém, as técnicas remotas não fornecem uma medição direta da batimetria da praia, necessitando de interpretação. Techniques for determining submerged profiles can be broadly divided into two types, remote or 'in situ'. Remote techniques have the greatest advantage of their large spatial coverage, without the typical technical discontinuities of profiling Ί ' η situ'. However, remote techniques do not provide a direct measurement of beach bathymetry, requiring interpretation.
Por sua vez, técnicas 'in situ' tradicionais, como as que empregam embarcações anfíbias, sonares ou nivelamento topográfico, medem diretamente a batimetria. Dentre as diversas técnicas de medição de perfis de praia Ίη situ' encontradas na literatura, todas apresentam uma ou mais das seguintes limitações: (i) dependência do estado de mar; (ii) impossibilidade de se obter o perfil em mais do que uma posição devido ao emprego de estruturas fixas ao fundo; (iii) alto custo operacional por perfil medido; (iv) impossibilidade de emprego devido ao acesso à praia ou devido à presença de banhistas; (v) risco de vandalismo por se utilizar materiais que permanecem na praia; (vi) impossibilidade de se traçar o perfil transversal à praia devido à deriva causada pelas correntes. Em razão a essas restrições, o presente privilégio busca apresentar uma nova metodologia em que as limitações acima listadas sejam eliminadas ou mitigadas, e, particularmente, com custos acessíveis.  In turn, traditional in situ techniques, such as those employing amphibious vessels, sonar or topographic leveling, directly measure bathymetry. Among the various situη situ 'beach profile measurement techniques found in the literature, all have one or more of the following limitations: (i) sea state dependence; (ii) the impossibility of obtaining the profile in more than one position due to the use of fixed structures at the bottom; (iii) high operating cost per measured profile; (iv) impossibility of employment due to beach access or the presence of bathers; (v) risk of vandalism by using materials that remain on the beach; (vi) impossibility of tracing the beach cross profile due to drift caused by currents. Because of these restrictions, the present privilege seeks to present a new methodology whereby the above listed limitations are eliminated or mitigated, and particularly at affordable costs.
BREVE DESCRIÇÃO DA INVENÇÃO BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
A presente invenção inova quanto à apresentação de um novo dispositivo e método de transporte de equipamentos e correlatos através da zona de arrebentação.  The present invention innovates in the presentation of a new device and method of conveying equipment and correlates through the break zone.
O dispositivo é de simples confecção, sendo configurado por uma âncora e uma lançadeira especialmente projetadas para o trabalho da transposição da zona de arrebentação.  The device is simple to manufacture, being configured by an anchor and a shuttle specially designed for the work of transposition of the breaking zone.
O método, por sua vez, consiste em se lançar a âncora da face da praia, por sobre a zona de surfe, a uma distância aproximada de 200 m. A âncora carrega um cabo duplo cujas extremidades permanecem na praia. Após a âncora unhar no fundo de areia, as pontas do cabo são estendidas mantendo-se uma linha ortogonal à face de praia. A âncora é tracionada da praia pelo cabo, cravando-se no fundo do mar, configurando, assim, um elemento de ancoragem para que diversos aparelhos e equipamentos, inclusive e principalmente aparelhos de medição, possam ser transportados pelos cabos entre a praia e o fundo o mar, permitindo diversas medições na região desejada. The method, in turn, consists of anchoring the beach face over the surf zone at a distance of approximately 200 m. The anchor carries a double cable whose ends remain on the beach. After the anchor digs into the sandy bottom, the ends of the cable are extended keeping an orthogonal line to the beach face. THE The anchor is pulled from the beach by the cable, driving into the sea floor, thus configuring an anchor element so that various devices and equipment, including and especially measuring devices, can be carried by the cables between the beach and the bottom. allowing several measurements in the desired region.
Quando do recolhimento da âncora, referidos aparelhos e equipamentos são retornados à praia por meio de tracionamento do cabo e são substituídos por flutuadores, que ao serem conduzidos de encontro à âncora, são forçados, pela própria natureza de flutuação a permanecerem na superfície da água, verticalizando o cabo preso à âncora, promovendo a liberação da mesma do fundo do mar e, assim, possibilitando sua recuperação.  When the anchor is retracted, such devices and equipment are returned to the beach by means of cable pulling and are replaced by floats, which when driven against the anchor are forced by the very nature of float to remain on the water surface, verticalizing the cable attached to the anchor, promoting its release from the seabed and thus enabling its recovery.
Para satisfazer as necessidades de operação, a âncora empregada precisa desempenhar dois papéis fundamentais. Em primeiro lugar, deve durante o lançamento descrever uma trajetória balística (um arco parabólico), atingindo um local previamente determinado. Como segunda condição fundamental, ao atingir o solo a âncora deve apresentar grande capacidade de unhar, permitindo que o cabo fique bem tensionado. Como não existe no mercado âncoras com essas características, protótipos foram desenvolvidos buscando unir no projeto as necessidades que a operação requer.  To meet operating needs, the anchor employed must play two key roles. First, it should during the launch describe a ballistic trajectory (a parabolic arc) reaching a predetermined location. As a second fundamental condition, when reaching the ground the anchor must have a great ability to nail, allowing the cable to be well tensioned. As there are no anchors in the market with these characteristics, prototypes were developed seeking to unite in the project the needs that the operation requires.
O peso da âncora é função da quantidade de cabo que necessita ser lançado. Numa opção preferencial, os 400 m de cabo de poliéster de 6 mm pesam em torno de 3 kg, sendo este o peso ideal da âncora. Um peso inferior impossibilita que todo o cabo seja carregado, enquanto que um peso superior a este valor reduz o alcance de disparo. Para que a âncora tenha estabilidade aerodinâmica e mantenha a rota, seu centro de gravidade deve estar localizado na parte posterior, onde estão seus braços móveis. Os quatro braços apresentam movimento semelhante ao de um guarda-chuva, permanecendo na posição fechada durante o vôo, sendo abertos quando a âncora toca o fundo de areia. Ao abrirem, à medida que o cabo é estendido, a mantém numa posição ideal para ser enterrada com facilidade. Também é necessário que, ao longo de sua haste, a âncora apresente superfícies que permitam que os elásticos da lançadeira sejam fixados. The weight of the anchor is a function of the amount of cable that needs to be released. As a preferred option, the 400 m of 6 mm polyester cable weighs around 3 kg, which is the ideal anchor weight. A lower weight makes it impossible for the entire cable to be carried, while a weight greater than this value reduces the firing range. For the anchor to have aerodynamic stability and maintain its course, its center of gravity must be located at the rear, where its moving arms are. The four arms have a movement similar to that of an umbrella, remaining in the closed position during flight, being opened when the anchor touches the sandy bottom. Opening as the cable is extended keeps it in an ideal position for easy burial. It is also necessary that along its rod the anchor has surfaces that allow the shuttle's elastics to be attached.
A lançadeira, por sua vez, é a estrutura que permite que a âncora seja disparada da praia por sobre a zona de arrebentaçao. Para que ela possa ser facilmente transportada à pé, portanto facilitando o acesso a qualquer praia, a especificação de seu comprimento e peso se torna importante. Fundamental também é que seu funcionamento seja simples, de baixo custo e possibilite fácil manutenção. Um lançador que opere por ação de molas ou por ar comprimido não satisfaz essas condições, logo se torna mais atraente a opção de se empregar tiras elásticas, de baixo custo, tal como se vê no presente modelo de lançadeira.  The shuttle, in turn, is the structure that allows the anchor to be fired from the beach over the surf zone. So that it can be easily carried on foot, thus facilitating access to any beach, specifying its length and weight becomes important. Fundamental also is that its operation is simple, low cost and allows easy maintenance. A spring-operated or compressed-air launcher does not meet these conditions, so the option of employing low-cost elastic straps as seen in the present model of shuttle is becoming more attractive.
O peso da lançadeira, de aproximadamente 15 kg, possibilita que seu transporte seja efetuado por uma única pessoa. Seu comprimento de 3.0 m atende ao compromisso entre praticidade de transporte e alcance de disparo. Este comprimento é ideal para que a estrutura não seja longa o bastante para impossibilitar seu transporte em um carro, nem é curta demais para que sua pista de aceleração seja insuficiente. Outro fator de importância, o alcance máximo de disparo, é atingido quando o ângulo de lançamento é de 45 graus, que é mantido através de dois suportes móveis encaixáveis ao corpo principal da lançadeira. Tanto os dois suportes quanto a estrutura principal da lançadeira apresentam extremidades afuniladas que possibilitam enterrar o conjunto firmemente na areia garantindo um disparo seguro.  The weight of the shuttle, approximately 15 kg, makes it possible for one person to carry it. Its 3.0 m length meets the trade-off between transport convenience and firing range. This length is ideal so that the frame is not long enough to make it impossible to carry in a car, nor is it too short for its acceleration track to be insufficient. Another important factor, the maximum firing range, is reached when the launch angle is 45 degrees, which is maintained by two movable brackets that engage the main body of the shuttle. Both the mounts and the shuttle's main frame have tapered ends that make it possible to bury the assembly firmly in the sand ensuring a safe firing.
