Abstract

Nautical float to navigate with the semi-submerged body of one or two people, driven by the movement of the feet, of the type constituted by two floats located one behind the other in the forward direction and joined by a succession of bars connected to each other. The floats are mounted on the rigid elbows of the front and rear bars with the possibility of turning for the front float. The connection of the bars is rigid and removable manually so that it allows the nautical float to form a compact unit after mounting it.

Description

Nautical float to navigate with the body semi-submerged of one or two people.

Nautical float to navigate with the semi-submerged body of one or two people, driven by the movement of the feet .

The principle of the present invention is to have achieved a nautical float to navigate with the bodies semi-submerged, of the type consisting of two floats located one behind the other in the direction of advancement and linked by a succession of bars connected to each other, to which for example the patents of invention: ES166329 (A63B35 / 10) 02.10200GB153752 (DOUGLAS LANE) 18.11.1920 and FR2.618.405 (CASILE) 27.01.1989, which have great constructive simplicity and efficiency of use, as well as being able to transport easily. This intended to be driven by one or two people by the feet provided with fins.

The purpose of the invention is to popularize its use. on the beaches to exercise or observe the preciousness of the fund from the sea and for scuba diving, it makes it possible to stay in the long water since it allows rest without having to do movements.

In this type of nautical device, the swimmer will places among the floats that have a hydrodynamic profile, passing the legs on both sides of the succession of bars that join the floats, grabbed by hand to a handlebar that allows turn the front float, the second swimmer grabs another handlebar located at the rear of the second float.

The nautical float object of this possible patent is characterized by being able to be mounted and disassembled manually without instruments, with the help of five pins constituting a compact unit that can be put in a bag for transport it

During use, the nautical float is put on and keeps vertical when the water enters through holes located in the bottom of the floats, up to the level determined by the that the air inside the float comes out when submerged in the water.

As mentioned before, the float maneuver nautical in the water is achieved with the turn of the front float which serves as a helm and can also help with movement corresponding feet provided with fins.

Floats can be made of material plastic with blow or spin methods.

Bars may be preferred of material plastic that has no problems in contact with seawater, with section so that it gives them enough rigidity.

None of the aforementioned patents and other invention patents of nautical floats US1879180A (GENDREAU et al ) 27.09.1932, FR612979A (BYLEWSKI) 05.11.1926 FR1085 850 A (FRANZ) 07.02.1955, FR 900906A (BOEUF) 12.07.1945 and GR23239 A (BOHM) 16.04.1925, have claims of the characteristics of the possible patent, neither the method of mounting the floats in the succession of the bars, nor the possibility of filling a part of the floats with water to increase the stability of the Nautical float, neither the possibility of using it by two swimmers, nor using it for underwater fishing after placing and fastening it with velcro straps on the upper surfaces of the floats, the necessary accessories for fishing as an airtight tank, two rifles in each Float and an anchor tow to fix the nautical float at the bottom of the sea at the time of fishing.

In figures Nº 1 and Nº 2 the nautical float in positions of use, where the basic positions are represented of the users, acting with the feet equipped with fins for their forward and in resting position, one resting on the bars located between the legs and the other held by the handlebars of the rear float

The nautical float is built by two floats (1) (2), located one (1) in front of another (2) in the sense of progress, separated enough so that during use users can place one between both floats and the other grabbed to the handlebar (24) of the rear float.

The front float (1), can rotate as a rudder with the handlebar (23) of the float around the bar Rigid elbow vertical (8) attached to the front bar (5).

Both floats are joined by means of a succession of bars (5), (6), (7), rigidly connected with possibility to disassemble one from the other and fixed with pins (20), the first (5) and last (7) end with rigid elbows (8), (9) in the vertical bars of which the floats are mounted (1), (2), the forward is fixed with a pin (19) that allows it to turn Rudder mode and the rear float is rigidly attached to the bar Rigid elbow vertical (9) with two pins (21).

Figures 1 and No. 2 also show the variant of the marine float for spearfishing, for which the upper surfaces of the floats have fasteners (12) on which Velcro straps (15) can be placed Fig. 2, Fig. 3 to hook the fishing rifles (17) Fig. 2 on each float, Velcro straps (13) Fig. 2,
Fig. 3 to hold an airtight tank (16) Fig. 2 placed in a niche of the front float (1) Fig. 2, Velcro straps (14) Fig. 2, Fig. 3 to hold a syringe (18) Fig. 2 of 20 30 meters long folded in a support (26) Fig. 2 placed in the rear float niche (2) Fig. 2.

The whole set is symmetric about the plane forward, and maintains its vertical position by the weight of the device and of the water that is inside the vertical chambers of the floats

To be able to transport the nautical float, it manually disassemble without instruments, taking out the front float (1) of the rigid elbow (8) of the front bar (5) after removal the pin (19) of the vertical bar of the rigid elbow (8) and the rear float (2) of the rigid elbow (9) of the rear bar (7) after removing the two pins (21) from the vertical bar of the rigid elbow (9) and finally disassembling the bars (5) (6) (7) taking out the pins (20).

After disassembling all the pieces, it placed in a cover (27) fig. 4, fig. 5, placing the floats (1) (2) with the horizontal cameras against each other, the bars with the rigid elbows (5) (7) each in the lateral parts of the floats, the bar (6) with the sticks and the handlebars (23) (24) between the side bars (5) (6). Fishing accessories submarine (16) (18) are placed inside the sheath, inside also They can place the diving suit, with the fins and the mask.

In the case of using the nautical float in the beaches to exercise or look at the bottom of the sea can be remove the straps with velcro (13) (14) (15) by removing the pin (25) fig. No. 3
