Swimming tool

Abstract

The swimmer tool attached with one or more oars and under-wing that fold and unfold against the current, allowing a person to swim in water without previously learning how to by using this new tool.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] This invention is to provide the swimmer tool of buoyancy and also provides a solution to swim with a simple movement of body.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

[0002] Many precious lives are being lost from drowning in water--either from not knowing how to swim or lacking in physical strength and skill to swim. It takes skill to float on water and to tread in water, but it is not easy to learn it and it requires a lot of physical strength.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

[0003] At least one oar is attached to each side and the bottom of a floating box made out of plastic or wood. The oars need to open and close in 90 degrees, and they can be attached using hinges. If the floating box itself is made with oars with a way for them to open and close, hinges will not be necessary. When this tool is pushed forward, the oars will open and close against the current, resulting in moving forward. Two people can use this tool at once with handles attached in the front and back.

[0009] FIG. 6 is a top view with opened oars as well as opened under-wing in case of having current from floating body's rear side.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0010] This invention resolves the matter of buoyancy and also provides a solution to swim with a simple movement of floating body 1. For buoyancy, a floating body 1 made out of plastic or wood is made, with oars attached on the sides and the bottom that open and close at 90 degrees.

[0011] Just with the simple movement of pushing and pulling this foaling body 1, the oars 2 will open and close. As this will result in treading in water, one's body holding on to this tool will also move forward in water. Thus, one is able to enjoy swimming easily by using this tool, and can even save lives from drowning.

[0012] This invention allows a person to swim in water without previously learning how to by using this new tool. It is actually more effective to swim using this tool, even for a person who already knows how to swim. Even for a person who is handicapped, as long as the person can use one arm, he can swim by using this tool. This tool is attached with a number of oars 2 that fold and unfold, thus by pushing this tool forward and by pulling it, a person can move around in water more effectively. Two people can use this tool at the same time, thus can be used to save people from drowning, as well as being used as safety device on cruise ship.

[0013] When a person holds on to the handles attached to the floating body 1 and pushes forward, the oars 2 will open and close against the water and push forward the person. Normally, a person needs to use his or her whole body to swim, but with this swimming tool, the person only needs to push and pull in order to swim. This allows a person who does not know how to swim to be able to swim more easily and for longer period of time. Up to 2 people can use this tool at once, so a guardian can swim with a child and can even converse while using. It can also be used to save lives from drowning, making it easier for the people to float. Thus this swimming tool is fit for leisure and also for safety.

[0014] FIG. 1 illustrates a top view of floating body 1 which oars 2 are closed. Floating body 1 is for being buoyant to move forward in floating condition in balancing without occupants in floating body. The oars 2 in floating body 1 are attached with hinge 3 between floating body 1 and oars 2.

[0015] The oars 2 are closed when floating body 1 is pushed forward, the oars 2 will close due water resistance, and oars 2 are opened in case current comes from floating body's 1 back side, resulting in floating body 1 moving forward. With one or more oars 2 or on under-wing 5 attached both side of floating body can increase efficiency in power for moving forward.

[0016] Hinge 3 is a connecting part for between the floating body 1 and the oar 2. Oars can be opened up to 90 degrees and can be eliminated if there can be made an alternative ring between the floating body 1 and the oar 2.

[0017] Handle 4 can be installed on the front side or rear side of the floating body 1, gripping the handle 4 by persons. One person can hold the handle 4 on the front side or rear side, If two persons use the handles 4, they can hold the both sides of handles 4 of floating body 1.

[0018] FIG. 2 illustrates a top view with opened oars 2 by the water current. FIG. 3 is an elevation view having closed oars and closed under-wing 5 when floating body 1 is pushed forward. Under-wing 5 is a oar which is installed under the floating body 1. The moving operation with 1 through 4 is same as described above.

[0019] FIG. 4 is an elevation view with opened oars 2 and opened under-wing 5 when currents comes from back side. FIG. 5 is a top plan having closed oars 2 and closed under-wing 5.

[0020] FIG. 6 is a top view with opened oars 2 as well as opened under-wing 5 in case of having current from floating body's 1 rear side.

[0021] As described above, the specifications contain in full detail the working examples of the tool for swimming where each swimmer use the tool. This invention, however, is not limited to the aforementioned working examples, and of course, is available for those who have conventional knowledge corresponding to within the idea of this invention. In addition, scope of the right in this invention can be interpreted only in accordance with the scope of patent claim as listed below.

Claims
