• Said gate (241) is removable, or sliding, or pivoting and allows the opening of the central part of the bottom (240), fulfilling the function of providing an opening for the feet of a user (400), and may have any shape, and may be, without limitation, polygonal, round, oval, oblong and the like, preferably having the polygonal shape. It is also possible to add to the opening of the bottom (240) a mechanism that enables the footrest to the user (400).
• the protrusions (250) of the recreation device (200) have dimensions and geometries suitable for attaching and sliding on the rails (120), so as to allow the recreation device (200) to shift between the initial/closed and final/open positions.
• the recreation device (200) therefore slides along the platform (100) guided by the rails (120) through at least two protrusions (250), wherein the protrusions (250) project outwards and perform the fixing of the recreation device (200) to the rails (120).
• the ends of the rails (120) also perform the function of stops, limiting the translation of the recreation device (200) both in opening and closing.
• both the recreation device (200) and the recess (110) have corresponding dimensions, so that they allow the free passage of the recreation device (200) through the recess (110), as required for use.

• the rails (120) may comprise at least one concavity (123).
• each rail (120) comprises one or more concavities (123) in each of the straight portions (121).
• the shape and size of the concavities (123) may vary according to the shape and size of the protrusions (250), so as to ensure that the recreation device (200) remains in a locked position when it is open, or when it is closed.
• the shape and size of the concavities (123) may vary according to the shape and size of the protrusions (250), so as to ensure that the recreation device (200) remains in a locked position when it is open, or when it is closed.
• they will be arranged so as to allow the protrusions (250) to be locked within them.
• the platform (100) comprises at least one protruding rail (130) in place of the cut-out rail (120), such that both options have the shape of a straight line parallel to the level of the upper wall (113) and/or lower wall (114) of the recess (110), or, alternatively, comprise a plurality of straight portions (121, 131) and at least one inclined portion (122, 132).
• both configurations i.e., cut-out rails (120) or protruding rails (130), allow the recreation device (200) to slide forward or backward on the platform (100).
• the recreation device (200) slides along the straight portions (121) and the inclined portion (122) of the platform (100) through at least two protrusions (250) that move on the rails. It should be noted that the number of protrusions (250) must be chosen as to provide the best shift, balance and stability of the set.
• the recreation device (200) comprises rails (120) or protruding rails (130) and makes the sliding concealable movement with the protrusions (250) passing through the inclined portion (122, 132), its movement will be in the inclined direction. And when the recreation device (200) makes the sliding concealable movement with the protrusions (250) passing through the straight portions (121, 131), its movement will be in the horizontal orientation.
• the recreation device (200) is a suitable closing element that acts as a gate, attachable ( figures 1 and 2 ) and/or concealable in a sliding manner into the recess (110) of the platform (100).
• the recreation device (200) may have any shape, and may be, but is not limited to, polygonal, round, oval, oblong and the like, preferably having the polygonal shape.
• the positional combinations provide a recreation device (200) capable of serving as seating or recreation location, with or without water and, depending on the position of the recreation device (200) in water, with variable volume, which can serve as a small beach, swimming pool, bathtub, opening for fishing, water collection, and other possibilities.
• the recreation device (200) may also comprise complementary elements such as covers, drains, grids, screens, footrests or a combination of these possibilities, according to the desired application.
• Suitable traction devices are, but are not limited to, manual traction, gears, spindles, levers, ratchets and the like, electric, hydraulic or pneumatic motors, gravitational systems, capillary and/or communicating vase systems and any others that are suitable for the vessel and the conditions of use and application, isolated or eventually in combination.
• the recreation device (200), the backrest elements (220), the movable backrest elements (221) and the seating region (230) elements may have built-in pipes and wiring, enabling the direct internal or indirect external installation of pumps and nozzles for hydromassage, lighting, massagers, heating, cooling, etc.
• the elements of the platform (100) may comprise seals between their walls and contact and/or sliding surfaces.
• the recreation device (200) may comprise at least one protrusion (250), preferably two protrusions, containing a head, as shown in Figures 16 and 17 , so as to avoid the recreation device (200) from detaching from the platform (100), or even the protrusions (250) from coming off the rails.
• the straight portions (121, 131), or straight rails (120) may comprise unevenness, which would function so as to lock the protrusions (250) and prevent the recreation device (200) from opening or closing accidentally.
• the protruding rails (130) are completely straight, having only one continuous protruding rail (130), allowing the recreation device (200) to easily slide forward and backward, while allowing the recess (110) opening to have dimensions similar to the dimensions of the recreation device (200).
