Patent Application
20240009539
Elongated float, kickboards with floats, aquatic swimming aids, are part of the known art. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,227,273 and Chinese patent 210904889 show floating devices. However, the inventor is not aware of any devices the sign specifically four strength building therapy. Particularly the inventor is not aware of any devices that specifically use the buoyancy effect of water to help an individual regain its strength and its balance at the same time. There are no devices known to the inventor that gives the user the ability to increase or decrease the buoyancy effect of the water in such a way that recovery from an injury can be obtained. This particular invention specifically addresses that issue. It also has other advantages. As for entertainment and training for particular swimming techniques. If this device is used properly, it will increase an individual's flexibility, strength, elasticity and in some instances proper swimming techniques.
As it's illustrated here, this aquatic strengthening device is the sign of a rigid or semi rigid structured with floats spaced at each end of the structure. This structure which is elongated by nature it has enough rigidity to withstand stress without bending and also to permit the weight of an individual on top of it without bending. The device can be made from a wide range of materials. Organic or not organic such as wood, high density wood, plastic, submergible conglomerate or other materials that will allow to accomplish the necessary rigidity while being waterproof. The structure has to be long enough to permit a swimmer to stand on it. It also needs to have devices so it can be handheld. The float can be made of any material that will float in the water. It is important to note that the upper half of the floats need to be above water to establish the desired results. The floats can be of styrofoam, plastic filled with air, or any other material that can be a sphere. These floats are then attached to the structure in such a way that they'll stand perpendicularly at a desired length. This length can be adjusted in according to an individual's necessity. This invention will be described in greater detail in the next two sections.
The following is a detailed description of the inventors preferred way to practice this invention. Looking at the drawings 1 to 3 aquatic strengthen device 30 compromises open aperture 20 to hold the floating device and a handheld opening 10 so the user can maneuver while using the floating device. The aquatic strengthening device 30 can be made all way high density wood, carbon fiber, plastic or any other material the proper flexibility and rigidity in order to hold an individual's weight. It is expected that the proper length of the aquatic strength in device 30 will be anywhere from 24 inches to 48 inches. It can also be noted depth the handheld opening 10 can be an individual opening or a plurality of openings. This will depend on the user's desire. This device has a pair of side grooves located exactly perpendicular to open aperture 20. These side grooves 80 are located at each end of the aquatic strengthening device 30 at the same place that the open aperture 20 is. It also has an extreme side groove 90 on each of the sides of the aquatic strengthening device 30. The open aperture 20 should be in the triangular form. The reason for this triangle of form is that when the floater holders 60 are attached to the aquatic strengthening device 30 give some rigidity so the floating devices 50 does not move.
