DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

El equipo que se preconiza, basándose en incorporar un medio lanzador que impulsa un proyectil contenedor del salvavidas, por medio de una carga explosiva, presenta una serie de particularidades e innovaciones frente a los equipos de las patentes descritas en el apartado anterior, que supone una solución perfectamente viable en la práctica, con eficacia probada ante ensayos reales realizados, dando lugar a un equipo sencillo que se complementa con el correspondiente proyectil portador del salvavidas, determinando un conjunto práctico en su utilización.The equipment that is recommended, based on incorporating a launching means that drives a life-saving container projectile, by means of an explosive charge, presents a series of particularities and innovations compared to the equipment of the patents described in the previous section, which supposes a perfectly viable solution in practice, with proven efficiency in the face of real tests carried out, giving rise to a simple equipment that is complemented with the corresponding life-saving projectile, determining a practical set in its use.

Más concretamente, el equipo lanzador de la invención se constituye a partir de un cuerpo soporte con asa que permite su transporte manual como si se tratase de una maleta, con un contorno aproximadamente trapecial, con la particularidad de que sobre una de las caras del contorno referido va articulado un tubo en funciones de lanzador propiamente dicho, el cual puede ocupar cualquier posición comprendida entre la propia verticalidad y una inclinada de 45°, esta última en la que tal tubo lanzador queda adosado a la referida cara superior e inclinada del cuerpo soporte en cuestión, correspondiendo esta última posición a la que normalmente se utiliza para conseguir el alcance máximo del proyectil, mientras que la posición vertical corresponderá a la de alcance mínimo, lo que posibilita que de acuerdo con la posición en la que se disponga dicho lanzador, el proyectil y por tanto el salvavidas podrá ser impulsado a mayor o menor distancia.More specifically, the launching equipment of the invention is constituted from a support body with handle that allows its manual transport as if it were a suitcase, with an approximately trapecial contour, with the particularity that on one of the faces of the contour said tube is articulated as a pitcher itself, which can occupy any position between the vertical itself and a 45 ° inclined, the latter in which such a launcher tube is attached to the said upper and inclined face of the support body in question, the latter corresponding position to which it is normally used to achieve the maximum range of the projectile, while the vertical position will correspond to that of the minimum range, which makes it possible that according to the position in which said launcher is disposed, the projectile and therefore the Lifeguards may be driven more or less distance.

Otra de las caras del referido cuerpo soporte constituirá la superficie de apoyo sobre el suelo, mientras que en correspondencia con una de las dos caras mayores de dicho cuerpo, que en adelante se denominará cara o caras laterales, se ha previsto un indicador del desnivel de la superficie sobre la que apoya el propio cuerpo soporte, cuyo indicador está constituido por una especie de brazo suspendido a modo de plomada con su extremo en forma de punta de flecha, señalando sobre una escala el grado de inclinación del suelo, para que el usuario pueda efectuar las correcciones necesarias sobre el ángulo de inclinación previsto para el tubo lanzador.Another of the faces of the aforementioned support body will constitute the support surface on the ground, while in correspondence with one of the two major faces of said body, which will henceforth be referred to as side face or faces, an indicator of the unevenness of the surface on which the support body itself rests, whose indicator is constituted by a kind of suspended arm as a plumb line with its end in the form of an arrowhead, indicating on a scale the degree of inclination of the ground, so that the user can make the necessary corrections on the angle of inclination provided for the launch tube.

Asimismo, en una o en ambas caras laterales se han previsto rehundidos para posicionado y sujeción de los correspondientes proyectiles, ya que cada equipo contará con varios, así como con carretes de cable o hilo de mayor o menor longitud, e incluso un rehundido para guantes, contando el carrete con un cable a través del cual se puede recuperar a la persona en apuros que se encontrará agarrada al flotador.Also, on one or both side faces, recesses are planned for positioning and securing the corresponding projectiles, since each team will have several, as well as reels of cable or thread of greater or lesser length, and even a recess for gloves , counting the reel with a cable through which you can recover the person in distress that will be attached to the float.

Además, el cuerpo soporte incorpora un alma, de muy escaso grosor, que dota al conjunto de mayor rigidez y permite a su vez que éste soporte sin problemas la fuerza originada por los disparos.In addition, the support body incorporates a soul, of very small thickness, which gives the whole more rigidity and allows it to support the force caused by the shots without problems.

En cuanto al tubo lanzador, éste va articulado al cuerpo soporte en proximidad a uno de sus extremos, con la particularidad de que el punto de articulación se encuentra ligeramente desalineado en elevación con respecto al eje longitudinal del propio tubo, todo ello con el fin de que la fuerza del retroceso de los disparos genere un momento respecto del eje de articulación que tiende a mantener el cuerpo soporte pegado al suelo. Ese desfase entre el eje del tubo y el eje de articulación es muy pequeño, con lo que en ocasiones únicamente servirá para compensar un posible desalineamiento entre ambos en sentido contrario, y que provocaría un momento que tendería a levantar el cuerpo soporte respecto del suelo, por efecto del disparo.As for the launch tube, it is articulated to the support body in proximity to one of its ends, with the particularity that the point of articulation is slightly misaligned in elevation with respect to the longitudinal axis of the tube itself, all this in order that the force of the recoil of the shots generates a moment with respect to the joint axis that tends to keep the support body glued to the ground. This gap between the axis of the tube and the axis of articulation is very small, which will sometimes only serve to compensate for a possible misalignment between the two in the opposite direction, and that would cause a moment that would tend to lift the support body from the ground, by shooting effect.

Además, sobre dicho tubo lanzador va montada una abrazadera abierta que puede deslizar a lo largo del tubo, cuya abrazadera se prolonga en una biela radial rematada en un tetón perpendicular a la misma, el cual se guía en una ranura oblicua, es decir, en rampa, prevista al efecto en el alma metálica interna del cuerpo soporte, todo ello de manera que el desplazamiento de la biela, mediante accionamiento manual sobre la abrazadera, llevará consigo el desplazamiento de ésta sobre el tubo y en definitiva la basculación y respectiva variación de la inclinación de dicho tubo, estando éste dotado de una escala indicadora del grado de inclinación, de acuerdo con la posición de la abrazadera.In addition, an open clamp is mounted on said launch tube which can slide along the tube, whose clamp is extended in a radial connecting rod finished in a perpendicular pin to it, which is guided in an oblique groove, that is, in Ramp, provided for this purpose in the internal metal core of the support body, all in such a way that the displacement of the connecting rod, by means of manual operation on the clamp, will entail its displacement on the tube and ultimately the tilting and respective variation of the inclination of said tube, this being provided with a scale indicating the degree of inclination, according to the position of the clamp.

Además, el tubo cuenta en proximidad a su extremo de salida con una abrazadera en funciones de pequeño soporte en el que se coloca el carrete para el hilo de recuperación referido con anterioridad.In addition, the tube has in its proximity to its outlet end with a clamp in functions of small support in which the spool for the recovery thread referred to above is placed.

Por otra parte, el proyectil portador del salvavidas que se lanza mediante el equipo descrito, se constituye a partir de un cuerpo en cuyo interior queda convenientemente plegado el salvavidas, cuerpo que está determinado por una carcasa externa formada por dos semipiezas que encajan mutuamente entre sí, con orificios para la entrada del agua cuando es lanzado y el aludido proyectil cae en el agua, todo ello a fin de permitir el inflado del flotador como más adelante se expondrá.On the other hand, the life-bearing projectile launched by the described equipment is constituted from a body inside which the lifeguard is conveniently folded, a body that is determined by an external housing formed by two half-pieces that mutually fit between yes, with holes for the entry of the water when it is launched and the projectile mentioned falls into the water, all this in order to allow the float to be inflated as it will be exposed later.

En el extremo posterior del proyectil van montados, en primer lugar, una tapa acoplada al cuerpo principal del proyectil, a la que se fija un pistón sobre el que van articuladas, o bien a otra pieza establecida en esa parte posterior, una serie de aletas desplegables por la acción de respectivos resortes, pero manteniéndose aquéllas en posición plegada por medio de una goma o elemento similar que puede romperse o quemarse durante el disparo.Firstly, a cover attached to the main body of the projectile, to which a piston on which they are articulated, or to another piece established in that rear part, a series of fins, are mounted on the rear end of the projectile deployable by the action of respective springs, but keeping them in a folded position by means of a rubber or similar element that can break or burn during firing.

A continuación de dicho pistón está establecida una recámara en cuyo interior va dispuesto un cartucho como elemento propulsor del proyectil propiamente dicho, con la particularidad de que las aletas anteriormente referidas, pueden ir articuladas precisamente sobre la parte que constituye esa recámara.Following said piston a chamber is established inside which a cartridge is disposed as the propellant element of the projectile itself, with the particularity that the aforementioned fins can be articulated precisely on the part constituting that chamber.

En cuanto al pistón, el mismo incorpora en su extremo posterior un labio flexible a través del cual se ajusta contra la superficie interna del propio tubo lanzador, con lo que se consigue una cierta hermeticidad que favorece la impulsión del propio proyectil.As for the piston, it incorporates at its rear end a flexible lip through which it fits against the inner surface of the launching tube itself, thereby achieving a certain tightness that favors the projectile's own drive.

Volviendo a las aletas, éstas presentan en su cara interna unos rebajes longitudinales para permitir su replegado, ya que sobre la superficie externa de la recámara se arrollarán los cables metálicos previstos para el amarre del hilo de recuperación, existiendo tres cables amarrados equiangularmente respecto del proyectil para evitar tirones sobre el mismo de forma descentrada y que podrían distorsionar la trayectoria. Dichos tres cables concurren posteriormente en un quitavueltas con una anilla a la que se une un único cable metálico con una longitud aproximadamente igual a la del propio tubo lanzador, y a cuyo cable se une el hilo o cable de recuperación, de manera que al introducir el proyectil en el tubo lanzador el extremo de ese cable al que se une el de recuperación quedará sobresaliendo por la boca de dicho tubo lanzador para permitir precisamente el enganche o amarre del hilo de recuperación.Returning to the fins, they have longitudinal recesses on their inner face to allow their folding, since on the outer surface of the chamber, the metal cables provided for the mooring of the recovery wire will be wound, there are three cables tied equally to the projectile to avoid pulling on it in an off-center manner and that could distort the trajectory. Said three cables subsequently concur in a turnbuckle with a ring to which a single metallic cable is attached with a length approximately equal to that of the launching tube itself, and at whose cable the recovery wire or cable is attached, so that when introducing the projectile in the launch tube the end of that cable to which the recovery is attached will be protruding through the mouth of said launch tube to allow precisely the attachment of the recovery line.

Además, se ha previsto que el labio flexible del pistón esté afectado de una muesca o rebaje para permitir precisamente el paso del cable referido sin que por ello se pierda hermeticidad en el montaje del proyectil en el interior del tubo lanzador.In addition, it is provided that the flexible lip of the piston is affected by a notch or recess to allow precisely the passage of the referred cable without thereby losing tightness in the assembly of the projectile inside the launch tube.

En cuanto a la tapa de cierre posterior del proyectil, con los elementos de impulsión y guiado asociados al propio pistón, se ha previsto que la unión de aquélla al pistón se realice mediante un vastago axial con un orificio delantero al que se fijan los correspondientes amarres del flotador, de forma que al fraccionar del hilo de recuperación se arrastre el flotador.As for the rear closure cover of the projectile, with the driving and guiding elements associated with the piston itself, it is envisaged that the connection of the latter to the piston is carried out by means of an axial rod with a front hole to which the corresponding moorings are fixed of the float, so that when the recovery line is split, the float is dragged.

No obstante, el proyectil puede ser utilizado de manera manual, en cuyo caso no incorpora el pistón y el cable de recuperación se amarra a un segundo orificio de ese vastago axial.However, the projectile can be used manually, in which case it does not incorporate the piston and the recovery cable is tied to a second hole of that axial rod.

En cuanto a la carcasa del proyectil, además de tener una forma aerodinámica que favorece la trayectoria, presenta una serie de orificios destinados a que entre el agua rápidamente, disuelva una pastilla establecida en el propio flotador y se produzca la liberación de un muelle para que deje libre una aguja y perfore precisamente la botella de C02 que incorpora el flotador, produciendo un rápido inflado de éste, habiéndose previsto que tanto la comentada pastilla soluble como la botella de C02 y la propia boquilla de inflado, estén protegidas por un elemento de material resistente para evitar que la persona en apuros agarre el flotador por esa zona y pueda arrancar la válvula y por tanto deshinchar el flotador, evitando además posibles quemaduras al poder agarrar la botella de C02, en caso de no contar con ese elemento de protección.As for the shell of the projectile, in addition to having an aerodynamic shape that favors the trajectory, it presents a series of holes intended for the rapid entry of water, dissolves a pad established in the float itself and the release of a spring so that leave a needle free and drill precisely the bottle of C0 2 that incorporates the float, producing a rapid inflation of this, having been provided that both the said soluble tablet and the C0 2 bottle and the inflation nozzle itself, are protected by an element of resistant material to prevent the person in distress from grasping the float in that area and can start the valve and therefore deflate the float, also avoiding possible burns by being able to grab the C0 2 bottle, in case of not having that protection element.

Mediante esta solución estructural del lanzador y de la munición o proyectil contenedor del salvavidas, el lanzamiento de éste se realizará con toda facilidad y eficacia, ya que basta colocar el cuerpo donde está situado el tubo lanzador apoyado en el suelo y orientar dicho lanzador con la inclinación adecuada de acuerdo con la distancia a la que se pretende lanzar el proyectil del salvavidas.By means of this structural solution of the launcher and of the ammunition or projectile container of the lifeguard, the launching of this one will be carried out with all ease and efficiency, since it is enough to place the body where the launcher tube is placed resting on the ground and orient said launcher with adequate inclination according to the distance at which the lifeguard projectile is intended to be launched.

REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓNPREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Como se puede ver en las figuras referidas, el equipo lanzador objeto de la invención se constituye a partir de un cuerpo soporte (1), con una configuración preferentemente paralepipédica, aunque con un contorno trapecial, sin descartar cualquier otra configuración adecuada, en el que una de sus carasAs can be seen in the aforementioned figures, the launching equipment object of the invention is constituted from a support body (1), with a preferably parallelepiped configuration, although with a trapecial contour, without ruling out any other suitable configuration, in which one of their faces

(2) constituye el medio de apoyo estable sobre el suelo, yendo articulado en uno de los extremos del cuerpo soporte (1) un tubo lanzador (3), estando la articulación referenciada con el número (4), todo ello de manera tal que el tubo lanzador (3) se asemeja en su funcionamiento al de un mortero, es decir, previsto para lanzar un proyectil (21) que posteriormente se describirá, y que es el contenedor del salvavidas autoinflable (25) que es igualmente objeto de la invención, de manera que el proyectil se introduce en el interior del tubo lanzador (3) y es impulsado mediante la correspondiente carga explosiva.(2) constitutes the stable means of support on the ground, being articulated in one of the ends of the support body (1) a pitcher tube (3), the joint being referenced with the number (4), all in such a way that the pitcher tube (3) resembles in its operation that of a mortar, is that is, intended to launch a projectile (21) that will be described later, and which is the self-inflating lifeguard container (25) that is also the object of the invention, so that the projectile is introduced inside the launch tube (3) and is driven by the corresponding explosive charge.

El cuerpo (1) cuenta con un asa de agarre (7) para permitir su transporte y traslado manual de un lugar a otro, mientras que en correspondencia con una de sus caras laterales o mayores, cuenta con un sistema indicador del desnivel del suelo sobre el que apoya, a través de la cara (2), estando constituido ese indicador por medio de una especie de aguja o plomada suspendida (5) con su extremo en punta de flecha orientado hacia una escala (6) que es la que indica el grado de inclinación o de desnivel de la superficie del suelo sobre la que apoya tal cuerpo soporte (1), permitiendo con ello efectuar la corrección necesaria sobre el ángulo de inclinación previsto para el tubo lanzador (3).The body (1) has a grip handle (7) to allow its transport and manual transfer from one place to another, while in correspondence with one of its lateral or greater faces, it has an indicator system of the uneven ground above the one that supports, through the face (2), said indicator being constituted by means of a kind of needle or suspended plumb line (5) with its end in arrowhead oriented towards a scale (6) which is the one indicated by the degree of inclination or unevenness of the floor surface on which such support body (1) rests, thereby allowing the necessary correction to be made on the angle of inclination provided for the launch tube (3).

Asimismo, en una o en ambas caras mayores y laterales de tal cuerpo soporte (1), se han previsto unos rehundidos (8) para proyectiles; otros rehundidos (9) para carretes de cables e hilos necesarios como más adelante se expondrá y otro u otros rehundidos (10) para, por ejemplo, unos guantes. Los distintos rehundidos se pueden cerrar mediante tapas (11).Likewise, on one or both major and lateral faces of such support body (1), recesses (8) for projectiles are provided; other recesses (9) for reels of cables and wires necessary as will be shown below and another or other recesses (10) for, for example, gloves. The different recesses can be closed using covers (11).

Como ya se ha dicho con anterioridad, el tubo lanzador (3) puede orientarse desde la posición representada en la figura 1 donde queda adosado a la cara superior e inclinada del cuerpo soporte (1), dotando a ese tubo lanzador (3) con una inclinación de aproximadamente 45°, hasta una posición representada en línea de trazos en esa misma figura 1 , donde el tubo lanzador (3) ocupa una posición prácticamente vertical, de manera que en el primer caso el alcance que se conseguirá con ese tubo lanzador del proyectil será máximo, mientras que en la segunda posición, es decir la próxima a la verticalidad, el alcance será mínimo.As mentioned previously, the launch tube (3) can be oriented from the position shown in figure 1 where it is attached to the upper and inclined face of the support body (1), providing that launch tube (3) with a inclination of approximately 45 °, to a position represented in a dashed line in that same figure 1, where the throwing tube (3) occupies a practically vertical position, so that in the first case the reach that will be achieved with that throwing tube of the projectile will be maximum, while in the second position , that is, next to verticality, the scope will be minimal.

El sistema para fijar la variación de la inclinación del tubo lanzador (3), está basado en una abrazadera (12) que puede deslizar externamente al tubo y cuenta en su parte inferior con una extensión a modo de biela (13) que se remata por su extremo en un tetón (14), el cual se guía en una acanaladura (15) establecida al efecto en un alma metálica y de rigidización interna (16) que queda oculta por la propia carcasa que constituye el cuerpo soporte (1), y cuyo alma metálica (16), además de contar con el ya referido asa de agarre manual (7), cuenta con las orejetas (17) afectadas del orificio (18) para la articulación (4) del propio tubo lanzador (3).The system for fixing the variation of the inclination of the launching tube (3), is based on a clamp (12) that can slide externally to the tube and has in its lower part a crank-like extension (13) that is finished off by its end in a stud (14), which is guided in a groove (15) established for this purpose in a metal and internal stiffening core (16) that is hidden by the housing itself that constitutes the support body (1), and whose metal core (16), in addition to having the aforementioned manual grip handle (7), has the affected lugs (17) of the hole (18) for the joint (4) of the launching tube itself (3).

Como puede observarse, tanto en la figura 1 como en la figura 2, la ranura (15) en la que se guía el tetón (14) de la biela (13) correspondiente a la abrazadera (12) montada sobre el tubo lanzador (3), es inclinada y determina por tanto una rampa que permite, a medida que se desplaza la propia biela (13), producir la elevación o descenso del tubo lanzador (3) o, lo que es lo mismo, dotar a éste de una mayor o menor inclinación para el lanzamiento.As can be seen, in both Figure 1 and Figure 2, the groove (15) in which the pin (14) of the connecting rod (13) corresponding to the clamp (12) mounted on the launch tube (3) is guided ), is inclined and therefore determines a ramp that allows, as the connecting rod itself (13) moves, produce the raising or lowering of the launch tube (3) or, what is the same, provide it with a greater or less inclination for launch.

La abrazadera (12) está constituida por un anillo abierto, realizando un efecto de muelle para mantener la posición que ocupa respecto del propio tubo lanzador (3), habiéndose previsto que para variar la inclinación de éste se actúe sobre la comentada abrazadera (12) haciéndola deslizar a lo largo del tubo (3), implicando el basculamiento de éste respecto de su punto o eje de articulación (4). Para conseguir desplazar la abrazadera (12) basta con hacer una leve presión sobre una patilla radial prevista en la misma.The clamp (12) is constituted by an open ring, performing a spring effect to maintain the position it occupies with respect to the launching tube itself (3), it being provided that in order to vary the inclination of the latter act on the said clamp (12) making it slide along the tube (3), involving its tilting with respect to its point or axis of articulation (4). In order to move the clamp (12), just make a slight pressure on a radial pin provided therein.

También cabe destacar el hecho de que sobre el propio tubo lanzador (3) se ha previsto una escala graduada que, según la posición que ocupe la abrazadera (12), indicará el correspondiente ángulo de elevación del tubo (3), previéndose en éste en proximidad a su extremo libre una abrazadera (19) a la que está solidarizado un brazo o elemento (20) como soporte para el correspondiente carrete del hilo de recuperación.Also noteworthy is the fact that a graduated scale is provided on the launching tube (3) itself, which, according to the position occupied by the clamp (12), will indicate the corresponding angle of elevation of the tube (3), provided therein near its free end a clamp (19) to which an arm or element (20) is attached as a support for the corresponding spool of the recovery thread.

En cuanto al proyectil (21) propiamente dicho, cuya carcasa (23) está representada en la figura 3, presenta la particularidad de que tal carcasa cuenta con unos orificios (22) cuya función se expondrá con posterioridad, incluyendo el flotador (25) y rematada en su parte posterior por los correspondientes medios de impulsión y de guiado.As for the projectile (21) itself, whose housing (23) is represented in Figure 3, has the peculiarity that such housing has holes (22) whose function will be exposed later, including the float (25) and topped on its back by the corresponding drive and guidance means.

Pues bien, el proyectil (21) propiamente dicho, representado en la figura 4, y que es portador del propio salvavidas (25) representado en la figura 6, cuenta en su parte posterior con una tapa (26) a la que va fijado un pistón (27) que incorpora una serie de aletas desplegables (28) articuladas mediante respectivos ejes (29), aunque tales aletas (28) podrían ir articuladas en una zona más posterior, y concretamente en una recámara (30) contenedora de un cartucho (31), mediante el que se consigue propulsar o impulsar el propio proyectil. La retención de las aletas (28) en su posición plegada se consigue mediante un anillo de goma o similar, que puede romperse o quemarse durante el disparo, apoyando esa goma envolvente en unos rebajes (33) establecidos al efecto en proximidad al extremo libre de tales aletas (28), mientras que una vez rota esa goma de sujeción, las aletas (28) se despliegan por medio de un anillo (32) en funciones de muelle. Evidentemente, si esas aletas (28), en lugar de ir articuladas sobre el pistón (27) fueran articuladas sobre la parte extrema y posterior de la recámara (30), entonces el plegado y desplegado se realizaría en sentido inverso, resultando en este caso mas fácil y cómodo la introducción del proyectil (21) en el tubo lanzador (3).Well, the projectile (21) itself, represented in Figure 4, and which is the carrier of the lifeguard itself (25) represented in Figure 6, has a cover (26) to which a piston (27) incorporating a series of folding flaps (28) articulated by respective shafts (29), although such fins (28) could be articulated in a more posterior area, and specifically in a chamber (30) containing a cartridge ( 31), whereby the projectile itself is propelled or propelled. The retention of the fins (28) in their folded position is achieved by means of a rubber ring or the like, which can break or burn during firing, supporting that wrapping rubber in recesses (33) established for this purpose in proximity to the free end of such fins (28), while once that clamping rubber rotates, the fins (28) are deployed by means of a ring (32) in spring functions. Obviously, if those fins (28), instead of being articulated on the piston (27) were articulated on the end and rear of the chamber (30), then folding and unfolding would be done in the opposite direction, resulting in this case easier and more comfortable the introduction of the projectile (21) in the launch tube ( 3).

Por su parte, el pistón (27) incorpora en su parte posterior un labio flexible (34) que se ajusta contra las paredes internas del propio tubo lanzador (3), con el fin de conseguir una cierta hermeticidad que favorece la impulsión del propio proyectil (21).For its part, the piston (27) incorporates in its back a flexible lip (34) that fits against the inner walls of the launching tube (3), in order to achieve a certain tightness that favors the projectile's own drive (twenty-one).

Sobre esa parte posterior se han previsto unos bulones (35) en los que se fijan unos cables metálicos (36) a los que se amarra el carrete de hilo para poder recuperar a la persona en apuros junto con el salvavidas. Estos cables metálicos serán preferentemente tres y se amarran equiangularmente en los correspondientes bulones (35), evitando con ello tirones de forma descentrada sobre el propio proyectil, que podrían distorsionar la trayectoria. Esos cables (36), en la posición de reposo, es decir, antes de lanzarse el proyectil, quedan arrollados sobre la superficie lateral y externa de la recámara (30), de modo que para conseguir el correcto plegado de las aletas (28), se ha previsto que éstas cuenten con unos rebajes longitudinales (37) en correspondencia con su cara interna.Bolts (35) on which metal wires (36) are attached to which the thread spool is attached to be able to recover the person in distress together with the lifeguard are provided on that back. These metal cables will preferably be three and are tied equiangularly in the corresponding bolts (35), thereby avoiding unevenly pulling on the projectile itself, which could distort the trajectory. These cables (36), in the rest position, that is, before the projectile is launched, are wound on the lateral and external surface of the chamber (30), so that to achieve the correct folding of the fins (28) , it is planned that these have longitudinal recesses (37) in correspondence with their internal face.

Además, los comentados cables metálicos (36) quedan unidos a una anilla (38), con la interposición de un quitavueltas (39), yendo a esa anilla amarrado el extremo de un cable (40), también de naturaleza metálica y de longitud aproximada a la del tubo lanzador (3), amarrándose en el extremo de ese cable (40) el hilo de recuperación, de manera que al introducir el proyectil (21) en el tubo lanzador (3), el extremo del cable (40) quedará sobresaliendo por la boca de ese tubo lanzador (3), para permitir el amarre del hilo de recuperación sobre tal cable (40), con la particularidad de que para permitir el paso de este último a lo largo de tubo lanzador (3), los labios flexibles (34) del pistón (27) presentan una muesca o rebaje por la que pasa precisamente tal cable (40) sin que por ello se pierda la estanqueidad necesaria para conseguir una buena impulsión del proyectil.In addition, the aforementioned metal cables (36) are attached to a ring (38), with the interposition of a twist (39), going to that ring tied the end of a cable (40), also of a metallic nature and of approximate length to that of the launch tube (3), the recovery wire being tied at the end of that cable (40), so that when the projectile (21) is introduced into the launch tube (3), the end of the cable (40) will remain sticking out the mouth of that launching tube (3), to allow the recovery thread to be tied onto such a cable (40), with the particularity that to allow the latter to pass along the launching tube (3), the flexible lips ( 34) of the piston (27) have a notch or recess through which precisely such a cable (40) passes without thereby losing the tightness necessary to achieve a good projectile drive.

Por otra parte, cabe igualmente destacar el hecho de que la tapa (26) se fija al pistón (27) mediante un vastago axial (41) con un orificio anterior (42) al cual se fijan los amarres del salvavidas o flotador (25) y un orificio posteriorOn the other hand, it is also worth noting the fact that the cover (26) is fixed to the piston (27) by means of an axial rod (41) with an anterior hole (42) to which the lifebuoy or float moorings (25) are fixed and a rear hole

(43) para el amarre del cable de recuperación cuando el proyectil es utilizado de manera manual, en cuyo caso no incorpora el pistón (17).(43) for fixing the recovery cable when the projectile is used manually, in which case it does not incorporate the piston (17).

En cuanto al referido flotador (25) propiamente dicho, el mismo cuando se encuentra desinflado es laminar, formando un cuerpo toroidal, como se representa en la figura 6, contando dicho cuerpo del flotador (25) con una pastilla soluble (44) que se disuelve al entrar en contacto con el agua, ya que cuando el proyectil cae al agua, ésta penetra a través de los orificios (22) de la carcasa y produce, como se decía con anterioridad, la disolución de la pastilla (44), que actúa como elemento activador de un muelle que incide sobre una aguja encargada de perforar una botella (45) de C02, produciendo un rápido inflado del flotador (25), el cual cuenta con medios de amarre (46) apropiados, como puede ser soldadura por alta frecuencia o similar.As for the aforementioned float (25) itself, the same when it is deflated is laminar, forming a toroidal body, as shown in Figure 6, said float body (25) counting with a soluble tablet (44) that is dissolves upon contact with water, since when the projectile falls into the water, it enters through the holes (22) of the housing and produces, as previously stated, the dissolution of the tablet (44), which It acts as an activating element of a spring that strikes a needle in charge of piercing a bottle (45) of C0 2 , producing a rapid inflation of the float (25), which has appropriate mooring means (46), such as welding by high frequency or similar.

En cualquier caso, la botella (45), la pastilla soluble (44) y la correspondiente boquilla de inflado (47), están protegidas por una tira (48) que puede ser de PVC u otro material resistente, con el fin de evitar que una persona en apuros que agarre el flotador por esa zona no pueda arrancar la válvula, evitando con ello el deshinchado del propio flotador, evitándose así mismo posibles quemaduras si esa persona se agarrase de la botella (45), lo que se podría producir si no estuviera el protector formado por la tira (48). In any case, the bottle (45), the soluble tablet (44) and the corresponding inflation nozzle (47), are protected by a strip (48) that can be made of PVC or other resistant material, in order to prevent a person in distress who grabs the float in that area cannot start the valve, thereby avoiding the deflation of the float itself, avoiding possible burns if that person grabs the bottle (45), which could occur if the protector formed by the strip (48) was not present.
