  • Figure 5 is of top view of swim goggles with magnets labelled 1 attached around the eye protectors.
  • Stingrays have an organ called the Ampullae de Lorenzini which are electroreceptors sensitive to the Earth's geomagnetic field. Magnets elicit an aversionary response from the stingray due to an overstimulation of the Ampullae de Lorenzini organ. Many persons are stung when they inadvertently step on a stingray or float over the top of stingrays buried in the sand.
  • the invention repels stingrays with strategic placement of magnets on swim goggles, toe, sides and heel areas of foot wear and swim caps used for swimming and wading in areas inhabited by stingrays.
  • the shape, size, thickness and number of magnets are not critical to the principle of the invention.
  • the placement is critical as the magnets have a limited range of effect upon stingrays. Most persons are stung on the foot area when accidentally stepping on a stingray or in the chest and shoulder areas when floating just above a buried stingray. Having the magnet placed at the point closest to initial human contact with the stingray increases the effectiveness of the invention. Placement of magnets on the side and bottom of the toe and heel area of the foot, on swim goggles and swim caps are important for effectively averting stingray encounters.
  • Patent 8,453,356
  • references a shark deterrent system involving a floatation device, electrical transmitter and attachable magnet Stingray deterrent footwear, swim goggles and bathing cap utilize permanently attached Magnets worn by a person wading or swimming in the water.
  • the shark repellent system repels sharks away from an individual while boating.
  • the shark repellent system includes an attachable magnet and a transmitter unit that emits sound waves at a frequency undesirable to sharks.
  • the transmitter unit is contained in a watertight enclosure affixed to a buoyant device, and is usually submerged in water while the buoyant device is in the water.
  • the magnet may function as an on/off switch for the transmitter unit
  • Patent 6606963
  • a shark repellent system for use upon a human in a volume of water for deterring sharks comprising: a band member comprising an elastic material for snugly fitting about a body part; and a transmitter unit capable of transmitting sound waves within a volume of water in a pulsing manner within water at a frequency undesirable to sharks, wherein said frequency is adjustable and between 30 Hz to 500 Hz; wherein said transmitter unit is comprised of: a power source; a frequency generator electrically connected to said power source; an amplifier electrically connected to said frequency generator; and a transducer electrically connected to said amplifier for generating said sound waves within a volume of water for deterring sharks.
  • Patent 7270083 :
  • the Stingray repelling footwear, swim goggles and swim cap are personal stingray repelling item moving with the individual wearing them whereas the afore mentioned patent creates a stationary shark repelling zone attached to the buoyancy devices and any persons in the water need to stay within the zone.
  • the device consists of an electromagnetic field generator for generating an electromagnetic field that repels sharks and is supported by a buoyant device. This provides a shark-free region about the device. Multiple devices can be connected together to form an array of repelling devices, thereby extending the shark-free region.
  • References nose bridge being formed integrally with eye lenses, said nose bridge being generally U-shaped.
  • the stingray repellent swim goggles utilize a connector piece between the molded eye pieces and magnets are bonded to the pieces covering the eyes.
  • the stingray swim goggles has magnets fastened to the eye protection frame. No snapping together of parts is intended. The only replaceable part is the head band securing the swim goggles to the face.
  • the Stingray repelling footwear, swim goggles and swim cap are specifically intended for averting incidental contact by ocean swimmers and surf waders with stingrays buried in the sand. All other inventions focus primarily on shark aversion.
  • the important aspects of this patent are use of magnets located at points on the human body closest to encounters with the buried stingrays. The person will likely be walking or swimming when accidental encounter with a stingray occurs. Locating the magnets on toes, heels, sides and sole of feet and head region are important to avert accidental contact with stingrays.

Abstract

Les pastenagues ne sont pas agressives envers les êtres humains. Si on les laisse tranquilles, les pastenagues n'attaquent pas. Elles possèdent un dard de défense dans leur queue, qu'elles utilisent si elles se sentent menacées ou si on marche sur elles. Les pastenagues passent beaucoup de temps enfouies juste au-dessous de la surface dans des fonds sablonneux peu profonds le long de plages et de baies. Elles constituent les proies des requins-marteaux, des épaulards et de grands poissons prédateurs. Lorsqu'une personne marche par inadvertance sur une pastenague enfouie ou flotte au-dessus de cette dernière, l'instinct de protection de la raie est de dresser sa queue pour planter son dard dans la victime peu méfiante et lui injecter une toxine douloureuse. Les pastenagues possèdent un organe appelé ampoules de Lorenzini, qui est un récepteur électrique sensible au champ géomagnétique terrestre. Des aimants provoquent une réponse de répulsion de la pastenague en raison d'une stimulation excessive des ampoules de Lorenzini. L'invention concerne des aimants placés de manière stratégique sur une chaussure, des lunettes de natation et des bonnets de bain pour éviter des rencontres accidentelles avec des pastenagues.
