GAFAS DE NATACIÓN CON ALIMENTACIÓN DE AIRE MEDIANTE LA SWIMMING GOGGLES WITH AIR FEEDING BY

RESPIRACIÓN BREATHING

DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION

Sector de la técnica Technical sector

La invención se refiere a unas gafas de natación que permiten la respiración durante la práctica de la natación en superficie sin necesidad de sacar la cabeza del agua. The invention relates to swimming goggles that allow breathing during the practice of surface swimming without removing the head from the water.

Estado de la técnica State of the art

Las gafas de natación simples convencionales, formadas por una o dos lentes con algún tipo de sujeción a la cabeza del usuario, no permiten practicar la natación en superficie sin sacar la cabeza del agua para respirar. Esto obliga a que el nadador que las utiliza tenga cierto dominio de la técnica requerida para conseguir la coordinación adecuada entre la respiración y los movimientos corporales propios de esta práctica deportiva. Conventional simple swimming goggles, formed by one or two lenses with some type of support to the user's head, do not allow surface swimming without taking the head out of the water to breathe. This forces the swimmer who uses them to have some mastery of the technique required to achieve proper coordination between breathing and body movements typical of this sport.

En el estado de la técnica se conocen también diversos tipos de gafas de natación que incorporan un tubo o esnórquel que se adosa a la gafa mediante algún sistema de fijación y que permiten la entrada de aire desde el exterior hasta la boca mientras se practica la natación. Sin embargo estos conjuntos de gafa y esnórquel no permiten la respiración por la nariz siendo ésta la respiración natural adecuada, ya que el aire inhalado por esta vía respiratoria llega a los pulmones tras el filtrado nasal, lo cual no ocurre cuando se respira por la boca. Various types of swimming goggles are also known in the state of the art that incorporate a tube or snorkel that is attached to the spectacle by means of some fixing system and that allow the entry of air from the outside to the mouth while swimming . However, these sets of glasses and snorkel do not allow breathing through the nose, this being adequate natural breathing, since the air inhaled through this airway reaches the lungs after nasal filtration, which does not occur when breathing through the mouth .

La presente invención tiene como objetivo conseguir unas gafas de natación que permitan la respiración nasal confortable sin necesidad de sacar la cabeza del agua mientras se practica la natación en superficie. Adicionalmente, al menos alguna realización preferente deberá conseguir proporcionar una respiración bucal sana, además de la nasal. También es objetivo de la invención obtener unas gafas de reducidas dimensiones, limitado peso y sencillo manejo para el usuario común que practica la natación. The present invention aims to achieve swimming goggles that allow comfortable nasal breathing without removing the head from the water while surface swimming is practiced. Additionally, at least some preferred embodiment must be able to provide a healthy mouth breath, in addition to the nasal. It is also the object of the invention to obtain glasses of reduced dimensions, limited weight and simple operation for the common user who practices swimming.

Descripción breve de la invención Brief Description of the Invention

Son objeto de la invención unas gafas de natación que permiten la respiración nasal sin necesidad de sacar la cabeza del agua para inspirar el aire, las cuales comprenden, al igual que lo hacen ciertas gafas convencionales, al menos una lente destinada a quedar dispuesta sobre los ojos de un usuario que las utilice y un tubo respirador incorporado. Además, las gafas según la invención presentan la particularidad de que comprenden un protector, el cual comprende las lentes y un recubrimiento nasal. The object of the invention is swimming goggles that allow nasal breathing without removing the head from the water to inspire the air, which, like certain conventional glasses, comprise at least one lens intended to be arranged on the eyes of a user who uses them and a built-in snorkel. In addition, the glasses according to the invention have the particularity that they comprise a protector, which comprises the lenses and a nasal coating.

Las gafas de acuerdo con la invención son tales que, cuando se encuentran colocadas sobre el rostro del usuario, se delimita un espacio de visión comprendido entre las lentes y los ojos del usuario, y un espacio de paso de aire comprendido entre la cara interior del recubrimiento nasal y la nariz del usuario. El espacio de paso de aire está separado del espacio de visión mediante al menos un elemento separador. Por otra parte, el extremo inferior del tubo respirador penetra en el interior del protector y se comunica con el espacio de paso de aire, permitiendo que el aire exterior, que entra por el extremo superior del tubo respirador, llegue hasta el interior del recubrimiento nasal. The glasses according to the invention are such that, when placed on the user's face, a vision space between the lenses and the user's eyes is delimited, and an air passage space between the inner face of the nasal lining and the user's nose. The air passage space is separated from the viewing space by at least one separator element. On the other hand, the lower end of the snorkel penetrates inside the protector and communicates with the air passage space, allowing the outside air, which enters through the upper end of the snorkel, to reach the inside of the nasal lining. .

De este modo, las gafas según la invención permiten la respiración natural sana a través de la nariz a un usuario, sumergido en el agua en posición horizontal, sin necesidad de sacar la cabeza del agua para respirar. El hecho de las gafas según la invención permitan poder tumbarse relajadamente y respirar con facilidad posibilita la práctica de la natación superficial a usuarios que tienen dificultades para coordinar los movimientos corporales necesarios para la actividad, principalmente de brazos y piernas, con los giros de cabeza para posibilitar la respiración. Concretamente pueden beneficiarse usuarios adultos o en la tercera edad que no dominan la técnica o que tienen problemas de salud: por estos motivos tienden a adoptar posturas rígidas las cuales provocan que, en lugar obtener el efecto beneficioso que persigue esta práctica deportiva, sufran un rápido agotamiento o molestias que derivan frecuentemente en el abandono de la actividad. Gracias a las gafas de natación según la invención, el usuario puede centrarse en el ejercicio y en la coordinación de movimientos al no tener que preocuparse por la respiración. In this way, the glasses according to the invention allow healthy natural breathing through the nose to a user, submerged in the water in a horizontal position, without having to take the head out of the water to breathe. The fact that the glasses according to the invention allow to lie down easily and breathe easily makes it possible to practice shallow swimming to users who have difficulties in coordinating the body movements necessary for the activity, mainly of arms and legs, with head turns to make breathing possible Specifically, adult or elderly users can benefit that do not master the technique or that have health problems: for these reasons they tend to adopt rigid postures which cause that, instead of obtaining the beneficial effect that this sports practice pursues, they suffer a rapid exhaustion or discomfort that frequently results in the abandonment of activity. Thanks to the swimming goggles according to the invention, the user can focus on exercise and coordination of movements by not having to worry about breathing.

En un modo de realización preferente que se detallará más adelante, las gafas de natación comprenden un respirador bucal, que se comunica con el espacio de paso de aire, permitiendo que el aire contenido en el interior del recubrimiento nasal pueda alcanzar la boca del usuario. Esto hace posible la respiración bucal además de la nasal. Opcionalmente, el respirador bucal incorpora además un elemento de evacuación destinado a permitir la salida del aire espirado por la boca y a evitar que éste sea redirigido hacia el tubo respirador. De esta forma el aire espirado no se mezcla con el aire de entrada posibilitando una respiración igualmente sana también por la boca. In a preferred embodiment that will be detailed below, the swimming goggles comprise a mouth respirator, which communicates with the air passage space, allowing the air contained inside the nasal lining to reach the user's mouth. This makes oral breathing possible in addition to the nasal breathing. Optionally, the mouth respirator also incorporates an evacuation element designed to allow the exhaled air to escape from the mouth and to prevent it from being redirected towards the breathing tube. In this way the exhaled air does not mix with the inlet air allowing an equally healthy breathing also through the mouth.

En otros modos de realización también detallados en el siguiente apartado, el protector presenta unos orificios superior e inferior a través de los cuales se conectan de forma separable el tubo respirador y el recubrimiento nasal respectivamente. Dichos orificios pueden taparse mediante sendos elementos de cierre en caso de no estar presentes el tubo respirador y el respirador bucal. Las gafas así obtenidas constituyen un dispositivo de componentes desmontables, dimensiones reducidas y sencillo manejo para el usuario común que practica la natación superficial. Descripción breve de las figuras In other embodiments also detailed in the following section, the protector has upper and lower holes through which the breathing tube and the nasal lining are connected separately. Said holes can be covered by means of two closing elements in case the respirator tube and the mouth respirator are not present. The glasses thus obtained constitute a device with removable components, small dimensions and simple operation for the common user who practices surface swimming. Brief description of the figures

Los detalles de la invención se aprecian en las figuras que se acompañan, no pretendiendo éstas ser limitativas del alcance de la invención: The details of the invention can be seen in the accompanying figures, not intended to be limiting the scope of the invention:

Descripción detallada de la invención Detailed description of the invention

Las Figuras 1 y 2 muestran respectivamente una perspectiva frontal y lateral de un modo de realización de las gafas según la invención que permiten la respiración mientras se practica la natación superficial sin necesidad de sacar la cabeza del agua. Como se observa en dichas Figuras 1 y 2, las gafas de natación (1 ) comprenden los siguientes componentes: al menos una lente (2) destinada a quedar dispuesta sobre los ojos (3) del usuario, un tubo respirador (4) y un protector (5) que comprende las lentes (2) y que comprende además un recubrimiento nasal (6). En el modo de realización representado, el protector (5) de las gafas de natación (1 ) comprende concretamente dos lentes (2) entre las cuales está ubicado el recubrimiento nasal (6). Figures 1 and 2 respectively show a front and side perspective of an embodiment of the glasses according to the invention that allow breathing while practicing surface swimming without removing the head from the water. As seen in said Figures 1 and 2, the swimming goggles (1) comprise the following components: at least one lens (2) intended to be arranged on the user's eyes (3), a snorkel (4) and a protector (5) comprising the lenses (2) and further comprising a nasal lining (6). In the embodiment shown, the protector (5) of the swimming goggles (1) specifically comprises two lenses (2) between which the nasal lining (6) is located.

Como puede observarse más claramente en la Figura 3, la disposición de los elementos (4, 5, 6, 2) es tal que cuando las gafas de natación (1 ) se encuentran colocadas sobre el rostro del usuario, se delimita un espacio de visión (7) comprendido entre las lentes (2) y los ojos (3) del usuario y un espacio de paso de aire (8) comprendido entre la cara interior (6a) del recubrimiento nasal (6) y la nariz (9) del usuario y separado del espacio de visión (7) mediante un elemento separador (10) comprendido en el protector (5). En el modo de realización de la invención, el elemento separador (10) es un tabique que forma parte de la propia estructura del protector (5) y que está en contacto con el rostro del usuario. Además, tal y como se muestra en las Figuras 1 y 2, el extremo inferior del tubo respirador (4) penetra en el interior del protector (5) y se comunica con el espacio de paso de aire (8). De esta forma, el aire exterior que penetra a través del extremo superior del tubo respirador (4) se expande hasta el interior del recubrimiento nasal (6). As can be seen more clearly in Figure 3, the arrangement of the elements (4, 5, 6, 2) is such that when the swimming goggles (1) are placed on the user's face, a viewing space is delimited (7) between the lenses (2) and the eyes (3) of the user and an air passage space (8) between the inner face (6a) of the nasal lining (6) and the nose (9) of the user and separated from the viewing space (7) by means of a separating element (10) included in the protector (5). In the embodiment of the invention, the separating element (10) is a partition that is part of the protector's own structure (5) and is in contact with the user's face. In addition, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the lower end of the snorkel (4) penetrates inside the protector (5) and communicates with the air passage space (8). In this way, the outside air that penetrates through the upper end of the snorkel (4) expands to the inside of the nasal lining (6).

Así las gafas de natación (1 ) según la invención, mostradas en las Figuras 1 a 3, permiten una respiración natural, sana y terapéutica y de forma confortable para el usuario, ya que el aire llega a los pulmones a través de las fosas nasales desde el espacio de paso de aire (8) comprendido en el interior del recubrimiento nasal (6) sin necesidad de girar la cabeza mientras se nada. Adicionalmente y gracias a la separación entre el espacio de visión (7) y el espacio de paso de aire (8) se consigue también evitar el empañamiento de las lentes (2) por parte del aire que penetra a través del tubo respirador (4) de forma sencilla y sin restar ligereza a las gafas de natación (1 ). Thus the swimming goggles (1) according to the invention, shown in Figures 1 to 3, allow a natural, healthy and therapeutic breathing and comfortable for the user, since the air reaches the lungs through the nostrils from the air passage space (8) comprised inside the nasal lining (6) without turning the head while swimming. Additionally and thanks to the separation between the viewing space (7) and the air passage space (8) it is also possible to avoid fogging of the lenses (2) by the air that penetrates through the breathing tube (4) in a simple way and without subtracting lightness to the swimming goggles (1).

Para mejorar mayor sensación de comodidad y seguridad, el tubo respirador (4), como se aprecia en la Figura 2, adopta la curvatura necesaria para que su extremo superior sobresalga sobre la superficie del agua por encima de la cabeza del nadador. Preferentemente, tal y como se ha representado en las Figuras 1 y 2, el tubo respirador (4) presenta al menos algún tramo flexible (1 1 ) en forma de acordeón que dota a las gafas de natación (1 ) según la invención de una gran adaptabilidad. Dicho tramo flexible (1 1 ) permite que el tubo respirador (4) pueda ser inclinado en cualquier sentido adaptándose así a la cabeza de diferentes usuarios. La extensión y compresión del tramo flexible (1 1 ) permite variar la longitud del tubo respirador (4) adaptándose igualmente a distintas formas de nadar con la cabeza en posición más o menos sumergida. To improve the feeling of comfort and safety, the snorkel (4), as seen in Figure 2, adopts the necessary curvature so that its upper end protrudes over the surface of the water above the swimmer's head. Preferably, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the snorkel (4) has at least some flexible section (1 1) in the form of an accordion that gives the swimming goggles (1) according to the invention a great adaptability Said flexible section (1 1) allows the breathing tube (4) to be inclined in any direction thus adapting to the head of different users. The extension and compression of the flexible section (1 1) allows the length of the breathing tube (4) to be varied, also adapting to different ways of swimming with the head in a more or less submerged position.

Preferentemente el tubo respirador (4) tendrá una longitud no superior a 25 cm, estando el tramo flexible (11 ) totalmente comprimido. Ello permite que las gafas de natación (1 ) sean óptimas para nadar en superficie. Preferably, the snorkel (4) will have a length not exceeding 25 cm, the flexible section (11) being fully compressed. This allows swimming goggles (1) to be optimal for swimming in surface.

Como puede observarse también en las Figuras 1 y 2, de forma preferente las gafas de natación (1 ) comprenden un respirador bucal (12) que se comunica con el espacio de paso de aire (8) permitiendo que el aire contenido en el interior del recubrimiento nasal (6) pueda alcanzar la boca del usuario. Mediante este elemento adicional se posibilita la respiración bucal al usuario además de la nasal. Para permitir la respiración bucal garantizando además que esta respiración sea sana, preferentemente, y así puede observarse en las Figuras 1 y 2, el respirador bucal (12) comprende un elemento de evacuación (13) destinado a permitir la salida del aire espirado por la boca y a evitar que éste sea redirigido hacia el tubo respirador (4). De esta forma las gafas de natación (1 ) según la invención constituyen un sistema que permite la respiración integral por la nariz y por la boca. As can also be seen in Figures 1 and 2, preferably the swimming goggles (1) comprise a mouth respirator (12) that communicates with the air passage space (8) allowing the air contained inside the nasal lining (6) can reach the user's mouth. By means of this additional element, mouth breathing is possible for the user in addition to the nose. To allow mouth breathing, further ensuring that this breathing is healthy, preferably, and thus can be observed in Figures 1 and 2, the mouth respirator (12) comprises an evacuation element (13) intended to allow the exhaled air to escape mouth and prevent it from being redirected to the snorkel (4). In this way, the swimming goggles (1) according to the invention constitute a system that allows integral breathing through the nose and mouth.

De forma preferente según se observa en las figuras, en las gafas de natación (1 ) según la invención el elemento de evacuación (13) comprende una válvula (14) que se cierra automática y herméticamente, por el efecto de la presión del agua exterior, en el momento en que cesa la expulsión del aire espirado por la boca. De esta forma se evita que el aire espirado se vuelva a inhalar. Opcionalmente, como se observa en la figura 4, el protector (5) presenta un orificio superior (15) a través del cual se conecta de forma separable el tubo respirador (4). Ello permite desmontar el tubo respirador (4) del resto de las gafas de natación (1 ) para labores de limpieza y almacenamiento posterior. El mecanismo de montaje y conexión del tubo respirador (4) al protector (5) puede ser de diversos tipos, por ejemplo de tipo bayoneta. Preferably, as can be seen in the figures, in the swimming goggles (1) according to the invention the evacuation element (13) comprises a valve (14) that closes automatically and hermetically, due to the effect of the pressure of the external water , at the moment when the expulsion of the air exhaled through the mouth ceases. This prevents exhaled air from being inhaled again. Optionally, as seen in Figure 4, the protector (5) has an upper hole (15) through which the breathing tube (4) is detachably connected. This allows the snorkel tube (4) to be removed from the rest of the swimming goggles (1) for cleaning and subsequent storage. The mounting and connection mechanism of the snorkel (4) to the protector (5) can be of various types, for example bayonet type.

Preferentemente, las gafas de natación (1 ) comprenden un elemento de cierre (17) para tapar dicho orificio superior (15) en caso de no estar presente el tubo respirador (4). Dicho elemento de cierre (17) posibilita la utilización de las gafas de natación (1 ) sin incorporar el tubo respirador (4). En el modo de realización representado en la Figura 4, el elemento de cierre (17) es un tapón. Preferably, the swimming goggles (1) comprise a closure element (17) to cover said upper hole (15) in case the respirator tube (4) is not present. Said closing element (17) allows the use of swimming goggles (1) without incorporating the tube respirator (4). In the embodiment shown in Figure 4, the closure element (17) is a plug.

Opcionalmente, como también puede observarse en la Figura 4, el recubrimiento nasal (6) presenta un orificio inferior (16) a través del cual se conecta de forma separable el respirador bucal (12). Ello posibilita desmontar el respirador bucal (12) del resto de las gafas de natación (1 ). El montaje y conexión del respirador bucal (12) al recubrimiento nasal (6) puede ser de diversos tipos, por ejemplo de tipo bayoneta. Optionally, as can also be seen in Figure 4, the nasal lining (6) has a lower opening (16) through which the oral respirator (12) is detachably connected. This makes it possible to disassemble the mouthpiece (12) from the rest of the swimming goggles (1). The assembly and connection of the oral respirator (12) to the nasal lining (6) can be of various types, for example bayonet type.

Además, el hecho de que el tubo respirador (4) y el respirador bucal (12) sean separables, posibilita también que, cuando se retiran el tubo respirador (4) y el respirador bucal (12) y se cierran los orificios superior (15) e inferior (16) mediante los elementos de cierre (17, 18) provistos para tal fin, las gafas de natación (1 ) según la invención pueden ser transformadas en una gafa de natación simple convencional. The swimming goggles (1) according to the invention constitute a simple, light and manageable equipment, to allow a non-specialized user, or who simply wishes to practice swimming in a non-professional manner, swimming by breathing through the nose or mouth. In addition, the fact that the snorkel (4) and the mouthpiece (12) are separable, also allows, when the snorkel (4) and the mouthpiece (12) are removed and the upper holes (15) closed ) and lower (16) by means of the closure elements (17, 18) provided for this purpose, the swimming goggles (1) according to the invention can be transformed into a conventional simple swimming goggle.
