Abstract

The invention relates to a flexible oar in which the spoon that contacts with the water has a hard edge made from a conventional material and a soft, resilient, flexible core which is stretched upon impact with the water, thereby increasing the pressure applied by the crew and improving the performance of the vessel.

Description

REMO FLEXIBLE DESCRIPCIÓN. FLEXIBLE REMO DESCRIPTION.

Actualmente los remos que se utilizan tanto para deportes náuticos como para Ia navegación disponibles en el mercado están conformados en su gran mayoría por dos elementos fundamentales que son el mango que se utiliza para sostenerlo con las manos y hacer Ia fuerza en el agua y el remo como tal que es Ia superficie plana que al hacer contacto con el agua produce el impulso necesario para producir el movimiento de Ia embarcación. Normalmente los remos son elaborados en material rígido con una superficie plana para lograr el mayor contacto con el agua.Currently the oars that are used for both water sports and navigation available in the market are mostly made up of two fundamental elements that are the handle used to hold it with the hands and make the force in the water and paddle as such it is the flat surface that, when making contact with the water, produces the necessary impulse to produce the movement of the boat. Normally the oars are made of rigid material with a flat surface to achieve the greatest contact with water.

El remo flexible busca incrementar Ia superficie de contacto con el agua sin necesidad de ampliar el área del remo con el fin de lograr mayor rendimiento y velocidad de Ia embarcación con el esfuerzo de sus tripulantes.The flexible paddle seeks to increase the contact surface with the water without expanding the area of the paddle in order to achieve greater performance and speed of the boat with the effort of its crew.

EL REMO FLEXIBLE está fabricado en cualquier material en que son fabricados los remos convencionales; pero genera Ia ventaja frente a otros modelos existentes en el mercado el tener una superficie elástica o flexible en el remo de manera que esta se embomba al momento de ejercerle presión sobre el agua para producir el impulso se incrementando así en un gran porcentaje el área de Ia superficie de contacto con el agua.THE FLEXIBLE REMO is made of any material in which conventional oars are manufactured; but it generates the advantage over other models existing in the market to have an elastic or flexible surface in the oar so that it plummets at the time of exerting pressure on the water to produce the impulse, thus increasing the area of The surface of contact with water.

Cuando el REMO FLEXIBLE busca su punto de apoyo e impulso con el agua el material flexible colocado en el remo propiamente dicho se estira de manera que este punto de apoyo se incrementa en un alto porcentaje y se produce por Io tanto un incremento total en el rendimiento de Ia embarcación.When the FLEXIBLE REMO searches for its support and impulse point with water, the flexible material placed in the oar itself is stretched so that this support point increases by a high percentage and therefore produces a total increase in performance. of the boat.

El principio físico por medio del cual funciona el REMO FLEXIBLE será posible utilizarlo en otros elementos en los que sea necesario el contacto con el agua para producir energía o movimiento como Io son hélices, pedales, ruedas, etc.The physical principle through which the FLEXIBLE REMO works will be possible to use in other elements where contact with water is necessary to produce energy or movement such as propellers, pedals, wheels, etc.

Su diseño especial permite reducir el esfuerzo en el remado, incrementar Ia velocidad en el desplazamiento y mejorar de manera sustancial el frenado de Ia embarcación.Its special design allows to reduce the effort in the paddling, increase the speed in the displacement and substantially improve the braking of the boat.

Para un mayor entendimiento de Ia invención presentamos Ia descripción de Ia invención y de las piezas que Ia componen.For a better understanding of the invention, we present the description of the invention and the parts that compose it.

La figura No. 1 muestra Ia estructura de un remo común y Ia vista frontal del mismo. La figura No. 2 muestra Ia figura de un remo flexible en estado de reposo, es decir sin impulsarse en el agua.Figure No. 1 shows the structure of a common oar and the front view thereof. Figure No. 2 shows the figure of a flexible paddle in a state of rest, that is, without being pushed into the water.

La figura No. 3 muestra un remo con Ia elongación del material elástico, elongación producida por el agua.Figure No. 3 shows a paddle with the elongation of the elastic material, elongation produced by water.

La figura No. 4 muestra: 1. La resistencia del agua para generar el impulso. 2. El esfuerzo que realiza Ia persona que se impulsa con el remo; 3. La elongación del material elástico. Figure No. 4 shows: 1. Water resistance to generate momentum. 2. The effort made by the person who is driven by rowing; 3. Elongation of elastic material.

Claims

REIVINDICATORY CHAPTER.

1. THE FLEXIBLE REMO characterized by a conventional rowing design consisting of a handle, to hold it with the hands and a paddle or paddle itself which is formed by a flat surface of a considerable area to seek greater performance.

2. THE FLEXIBLE REMO, according to claim No.1 characterized by having two types of materials on the pallet or paddle, namely: a conventional rigid material edge in this type of instruments and a center in a flexible material.

3. THE FLEXIBLE REMO according to claims No. 1 and 2, characterized in that a material with a certain flexibility is placed in the center of the paddle or paddle so that it stretches to a certain extent when making contact with the water but that generates the security of not weakening or breaking due to the effect of the force generated by the crew of the boat when driven.

4. THE FLEXIBLE REMO according to claims No. 1, 2 and 3 characterized in that the flexible material is fully adhered to the flange in rigid material such that it will not come off at any time or allow water to pass through the joint of these two elements.
