Description

RELATÓRIO DESCRITIVO DESCRIPTIVE REPORT
Aparelho Flutuante Para Atividades Aquáticas Floating Apparatus For Water Activities
[001] A presente invenção trata de um Aparelho flutuante Para Atividades Aquáticas, guiável, de uso individual, impulsionado por meio de propulsão manual, com aplicação na área de lazer, diversão e entretenimento aquáticos, contudo, com viabilidade de uso em deslocamento sobre águas para diversas finalidades ou necessidades, como veremos, inclusive, é útil para atividades esportivas, competitivas e também de salvamento. [001] The present invention deals with a floating device for water activities, guided, for individual use, driven by means of manual propulsion, with application in the area of aquatic leisure, fun and entertainment, however, with feasibility of use in displacement over water for various purposes or needs, as we will see, it is useful for sporting, competitive and rescue activities.
[002] Sabemos que, atualmente, qualquer banhista que busque autonomia e liberdade de locomoção sobre águas, associado ao lazer na hora do banho, e em diversões aquáticas gerais em mares, rios, lagos, pode se valer de pequenos barcos, botes, caiaques, infláveis, jet-skis, e similares. [002] We know that, today, any swimmer who seeks autonomy and freedom of movement on water, associated with leisure at bath time, and in general aquatic diversions in seas, rivers, lakes, can use small boats, boats, kayaks , inflatables, jet skis, and the like.
[003] Contudo, devido ao tamanho, peso, e a variedade de dispositivos e acessórios que acompanham essas pequenas embarcações, tais como motores, baterias, combustíveis, velas, remos, dentre outros apetrechos, o uso de tais aparelhos se limita ao prazer da navegação pura e simples, não permitindo que o banhista desfrute do seu uso simultânea e paralelamente ao banho. [003] However, due to the size, weight, and the variety of devices and accessories that accompany these small boats, such as engines, batteries, fuels, sails, oars, among other equipment, the use of such devices is limited to the pleasure of pure and simple navigation, not allowing the bather to enjoy its use simultaneously and parallel to the bath.
[004] De resto, existem as boias (que não oferecem ao banhista mobilidade nem senso de direção), e as pranchas, como as de bodyboard, e de surf, que permitem flutuabilidade, contudo, por serem desprovidas de força motora, são de pouca utilidade em rios e lagos e, mesmo na praia, dependem exclusivamente da força das ondas para se obter algum deslocamento, o que quase sempre acontece em uma única direção, a favor do fluxo das ondas e exige perícia, conhecimento e treinamento do usuário que se aventurar a executar manobras e mudança de direção para além da praia rasa. [004] In addition, there are buoys (which do not offer the swimmer mobility or a sense of direction), and the boards, such as those for bodyboarding and surfing, which allow buoyancy, however, as they are devoid of motor force, are little use in rivers and lakes and, even on the beach, depend exclusively on the force of the waves to obtain some displacement, which almost always happens in a single direction, in favor of the flow of the waves and requires expertise, knowledge and training from the user who venture out to perform maneuvers and change direction beyond the shallow beach.
[005] Com a finalidade de resolver os problemas apresentados, desenvolveu-se a presente patente, destinada a proporcionar ao banhista, tanto a flutuabilidade buscada em boias, e pranchas, como também a guiabilidade e capacidade de locomoção rápida e ilimitada encontradas nos botes, caiaques e afins, mas com a vantagem de não fazer uso de motor, bateria nem remo, sendo de fácil manuseio e permitindo ao usuário lazer, diversão e entretenimento sem sair da água nem interromper o seu banho. [005] In order to solve the problems presented, this patent was developed, aimed at providing the bather, both the buoyancy sought in buoys, and boards, as well as the guideability and capacity of fast and unlimited locomotion found in boats, kayaks and the like, but with the advantage of not using an engine, battery or paddle, being easy to handle and allowing the user leisure, fun and entertainment without leaving the water or interrupting their bath.
FOLHAS DE SUBSTITUIÇÃO (REGRA 26) [006] A presente invenção também apresenta as vantagens de ser leve o suficiente para ser carregada à mão, ter seus componentes aglutinados em um conjunto único sem equipamentos acessórios; ser facilmente transportado em porta-malas de automóveis; e ser de fácil manipulação e manuseio durante o uso, o que dispensa conhecimento técnico prévio do usuário comum. REPLACEMENT SHEETS (RULE 26) [006] The present invention also has the advantages of being light enough to be carried by hand, having its components assembled in a single set without accessory equipment; be easily transported in car trunks; and be easy to manipulate and handle during use, which does not require prior technical knowledge from the average user.
[007] Pode, inclusive, ser útil em salvamentos rápidos, vez que, embora sendo de uso individual, permite que uma ou duas pessoas, em situação de risco, se apoiem nos flancos da plataforma e sejam conduzidas para fora da água, pelo usuário condutor, com segurança. [007] It can even be useful in quick rescues, since, although being for individual use, it allows one or two people, at risk, to support themselves on the flanks of the platform and be led out of the water by the user driver safely.

FOLHAS DE SUBSTITUIÇÃO (REGRA 26) do aparelho, conforme lhe convier, Contudo, essa função é opcional, não sendo essencial para o bom funcionamento da invenção, vez que o usuário pode fazer manobras apenas com o uso das pernas. E mais: retentores de vedação (15); Parafusos (16), Porcas, travas, cupilhas e chavetas que se fizerem necessários. REPLACEMENT SHEETS (RULE 26) However, this function is optional and is not essential for the proper functioning of the invention, since the user can perform maneuvers only with the use of legs. And more: sealing retainers (15); Screws (16), Nuts, locks, cotter pins and keys as needed.
[010] Sobre a tampa superior, aqui chamada de deck de revestimento superior (11) o banhista se deitará em posição similar ao nado, a exemplo das pranchas de bodyboard, porém, agarrado às duas manoplas dos braços giratório. Contudo, o aparelho dá sustentação para que o banhista, a seu bei prazer e conforme lhe convier, fique sentado, ou mesmo em pé sobre ele. [010] On the upper cover, here called the upper covering deck (11), the bather will lie in a position similar to swimming, like bodyboard boards, however, holding onto the two handles of the swivel arms. However, the device provides support so that the bather, at his pleasure and as it suits him, remains seated, or even standing on him.
[011] Sob a força de propulsão manual do usuário nas manoplas de empunhadura (06), (cujo movimento rotatório simula a dinâmica do nado de braçadas), o eixo de tração (04) faz girar a engrenagem principal (07), que, por sua vez, transmite rotação à engrenagem secundária (08), ligada ao eixo (09), que leva movimento de rotação à hélice (10), provocando deslocamento do conjuntos sobre a água. [011] Under the user's manual propulsion force on the grip handles (06), (whose rotary movement simulates the stroke stroke dynamics), the drive shaft (04) turns the main gear (07), which, in turn, it transmits rotation to the secondary gear (08), connected to the shaft (09), which causes the propeller (10) to rotate, causing the assemblies to move over the water.
[012] A presente invenção pode ser utilizada também em competições aquáticas, com a vantagem de ser um aparelho impulsionado pela força braçal, o que estimula o espírito competitivo e esportivo. Nesse caso, ao invés de ser usado apenas para diversão de banhistas comuns (jovens crianças e adultos de qualquer idade) no entorno da praia, a invenção pode percorrer distâncias quilométricas sob a força dos braços do competidor. [012] The present invention can also be used in aquatic competitions, with the advantage of being a device driven by arm strength, which stimulates the competitive and sporting spirit. In this case, instead of being used only for the enjoyment of ordinary bathers (young children and adults of any age) around the beach, the invention can cover kilometer distances under the strength of the competitor's arms.
[013] As duas manivelas (05), as duas as manoplas (06), bem como engrenagens (07) e (08), podem ser fundidas ou moldadas em seus respectivos eixos, ou serem fixadas a eles por meio encaixes de qualquer formato, ou por chavetas, cupilhas, travas, roscas ou qualquer meio de fixação. [013] The two cranks (05), the two handles (06), as well as gears (07) and (08), can be cast or molded in their respective axes, or be fixed to them by means of fittings of any shape , or by braces, cotter pins, locks, threads or any other means of fixation.
[014] Os mancais (02), podem ser fundidos ou moldados na base estrutural (01), formando peça única, ou serem fixados a ela por meio de parafusos, encaixes ou travas, por exemplo. [014] The bearings (02), can be cast or molded on the structural base (01), forming a single piece, or be fixed to it by means of screws, fittings or locks, for example.
[015] Altemativamente, uma correia pode fazer parte do conjunto, para ser atada ao tornozelo, punho ou cintura do usuário, e assim evitar que a força de ondas ou correntezas separe o banhista de seu aparelho. [015] Alternatively, a strap can be part of the set, to be attached to the user's ankle, wrist or waist, and thus prevent the force of waves or currents from separating the bather from his device.
[016] O deck de revestimento superior (11) e a bandeja de revestimento inferior (12) são constituídos de ligas de aços anticorrosivos, alumínios, metais leves e anticorrosivos ou materiais sintéticos de boa resistência mecânica, a exemplo de plásticos e nylons, Polímeros em geral, Polipropileno, Polipropeno, Policloreto de Polivinila (PVC), grivory, madeira ou fibra de vidro, com resina e catalizador, e tem a cavidade interna preenchida por câmara inflável, lona [016] The upper coating deck (11) and the lower coating tray (12) are made of alloys of anticorrosive steels, aluminum, light and anticorrosive metals or synthetic materials of good mechanical resistance, such as plastics and nylons, Polymers in general, Polypropylene, Polypropene, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), grivory, wood or fiberglass, with resin and catalyst, and the internal cavity is filled with an inflatable chamber, canvas

REPLACEMENT SHEETS (RULE 26) waterproof, or even by light and floating material, such as styrofoam, air bubbles or foam, or a combination of these, in order to ensure buoyancy to the device and safety to the user.
[017] Essas duas carenagens [11] e [12] revestem e cobrem o conjunto mecânico e são encaixadas à base estrutural com grampos e travas, ou parafusadas, e/ou vedadas com cola, resina, juntas ou borracha de vedação, de modo a isolar hermeticamente todo o conjunto mecânico (eixos, mancais, engrenagens, rolamentos e demais acessórios). Ambos os revestimentos e todo o conjunto do mecanismo de funcionamento da invenção, são fixados à base estrutural de sustentação por meio de parafusos, travas, encaixe, cola, ou da combinação destes, com uso de material de vedação. [017] These two fairings [11] and [12] cover and cover the mechanical assembly and are attached to the structural base with clamps and latches, or screwed, and / or sealed with glue, resin, gaskets or sealing rubber, so to hermetically insulate the entire mechanical assembly (shafts, bearings, gears, bearings and other accessories). Both coatings and the whole set of the operating mechanism of the invention, are fixed to the structural support base by means of screws, locks, fitting, glue, or the combination of these, with the use of sealing material.
[018] A medida total da invenção (e, por conseguinte, as medidas individuais de suas peças), é mensurada para ter seu comprimento, preferivelmente, inferior à altura do usuário, considerando as variações nas devidas proporções para as três faixas etárias de consumidores (tamanho pequeno, médio e grande). Sua área de contato é suficiente para dar apoio ao tronco, membros superiores e cintura do usuário, permitindo que seus membros inferiores fiquem livres para movimentos e flexionamentos, podendo executar, inclusive, o nado, e também auxiliar nas manobras do aparelho e mudanças de direção. A largura, por sua vez, tem medidas aproximadas ou ligeiramente maiores que a dimensão média do corpo do usuário da faixa etária destinada. [018] The total measure of the invention (and, therefore, the individual measures of its parts), is measured to have its length, preferably less than the height of the user, considering the variations in the appropriate proportions for the three age groups of consumers (small, medium and large size). Its contact area is sufficient to support the torso, upper limbs and waist of the user, allowing his lower limbs to be free for movements and flexions, being able to even perform the swim, and also assist in the maneuvers of the device and changes of direction . The width, in turn, measures approximately or slightly larger than the average size of the user's body of the intended age group.
[019] Quanto à espessura do conjunto, ou seja: a altura máxima da invenção (figuras 2 e 7), esta será equivalente à espessura (altura) do deck de revestimento superior (11), somada à espessura (altura) da base estrutural de sustentação (01), e à espessura (altura) da bandeja de revestimento inferior (12), considerando que esta altura do conjunto deve ter espaço necessário e suficiente para comportar, em seu interior, a engrenagem maior (07), responsável por ocupar o maior espaço vertical, visto que exige diâmetro o maior possível com a finalidade de provocar o máximo possível de voltas e rotações da hélice a cada braçada do usuário (a cada ciclo do eixo principal de tração (04). [019] As for the thickness of the set, that is: the maximum height of the invention (figures 2 and 7), this will be equivalent to the thickness (height) of the top cladding deck (11), plus the thickness (height) of the structural base of support (01), and the thickness (height) of the bottom lining tray (12), considering that this height of the set must have necessary and sufficient space to accommodate, inside, the larger gear (07), responsible for occupying the largest vertical space, since it requires the largest possible diameter in order to cause the maximum possible turns and rotations of the propeller at each stroke of the user (at each cycle of the main axis of traction (04).
[020] Na hipótese do aparelho ficar demasiadamente alto em razão do tamanho da engrenagem maior (7), conforme apresentado no parágrafo anterior [019], pode-se utilizar a referida engrenagem (07), opcionalmente, deitada (horizontal), conforme apresentação das figuras 8 e 9. Neste caso, necessário se faz o acréscimo de mais duas engrenagens menores intermediárias (17) e (18), e um pequeno eixo de sustentação das engrenagens (19), acoplado estrategicamente à estrutura do aparelho, conforme figuras (08) e (09) com os rolamentos necessários e acessórios. [020] In the event that the device is too high due to the size of the largest gear (7), as shown in the previous paragraph [019], the said gear (07) can be used, optionally, lying (horizontal), as shown of figures 8 and 9. In this case, it is necessary to add two more intermediate small gears (17) and (18), and a small shaft supporting the gears (19), strategically coupled to the device structure, as shown in figures ( 08) and (09) with the necessary bearings and accessories.
[021] Além das vantagens mencionadas nos parágrafos [005], [006], [007] e [012], a presente invenção, a exemplo de boias e pranchas, não enfrenta restrições legais que impeçam [021] In addition to the advantages mentioned in paragraphs [005], [006], [007] and [012], the present invention, like floats and boards, does not face legal restrictions that prevent
FOLHAS DE SUBSTITUIÇÃO (REGRA 26) o seu uso dentro do perímetro de praias ou em meio a banhistas gerais, como crianças e idosos, vez tratar-se de um aparelho pequeno, não é elétrico nem motorizado, e não apresenta riscos a terceiros. REPLACEMENT SHEETS (RULE 26) its use within the perimeter of beaches or among general swimmers, such as children and the elderly, since it is a small device, it is neither electric nor motorized, and it does not present risks to third parties.
[022] Por fim, as duas manivelas (05), e as duas as manoplas (06) podem ter encaixes giratórios sobre seus eixos, de modo a serem recolhidas, ocultando-se entre a base estrutural e as carenagens da invenção, ao gosto do banhista, quando este quiser apenas ficar sobre a invenção, deitado ou em pé, sem executar manobras, ou por qualquer outra razão conveniente ou necessária. [022] Finally, the two cranks (05), and the two handles (06) can have rotating inserts on their axes, in order to be retracted, hiding between the structural base and the fairings of the invention, as desired of the bather, when he only wants to stand on the invention, lying or standing, without performing maneuvers, or for any other convenient or necessary reason.
