Abstract

Therapeutic crutches for sea baths consisting of a hollow upper cylinder (1) and a lower part (2) that is housed inside the upper cylinder by means of a manual push button (3) located in the geometrical center of the crutch, thus remaining associated with the supporting arm-hand support kit, a suction pad (6) that facilitates the movement and a set to pick up the crutch so that the user, when swimming, hangs it on the back. The materials used for its manufacture are rubber, cork or polypropylenes. (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

Description

Therapeutic crutches for sea baths, from Water.

Technical sector

The invention falls within the sector accessory technician for the physically disabled. Plus specifically, conventional ground crutches are adapted to the water through a new structuring and floating materials.

State of the art

Crutches, specifically their practical use in Earth are the only background that can be mentioned. its structure of heavy materials that in an aquatic environment They would reduce utility.

Everyone knows the fact that they exist certain materials that float in water that do not weigh, with the rigidity necessary for adaptation to the marine environment. For example, the conglomerate of rubber, polypropylene, plastics etc.

The crutch described allows the disabled to walk on land and the proposed new structure allows them to move in the water,
swim.

Technical problem raised

The technical problems are solved, we are in the 21st century, and it is necessary to adapt the technology to the environment wanted.

Technically the body of a disabled person is prepared to enjoy the sea water, the freshness of the waves. We nurture the love of a disabled swimmer for well-being. Alone it is necessary to adapt the usual crutches to the water and it is possible make the changes given our richness of means of application industrial.

Therapeutic crutches for sea baths, from water, consist of a hollow upper cylinder (1), which will absorb the lower part (2) by means of a manual button (3), which lengthens and shorten the joined pieces, located in the geometric center of the Crutches, remain associated (1 and 3) next to the support game (4) arm-hand support, given the existing conjunction. Floating material (rubber conglomerate, Cork, plastic, polypropylene, wood ....) is located within The rigidity indispensable for its use. The union of the two crutches collected in the water is done by any means recognized industrial (tape, rubber, rope ...) and allows the user Hang them on your back and swim.

Before leaving the water, the cylinders (1 and 2) and the block (6), with its suction cup system, allows walk in and out of the water, given the ambivalence of the crutches, ground, and water, in addition to allowing hermetic closure (6).

The new technique gives independence to bather.

Description of the figures

The procedure for the elaboration of crutches therapeutic for sea baths, water, are widely expressed in the following drawings:

Fig 1. Two crutches are visible; the cylinder upper hollow (1), lower cylinder (2), a manual push button (3), arm-hand-support support set (4) and cue (6).

Fig 2. Cylinder (1) that absorbs the lower one (2). Push button (3), support set arm-hand support (4).

Claims (1)

1. Therapeutic crutches for sea baths characterized in that it has an upper cylinder (1) that absorbs the lower cylinder (2) by means of a manual button (3) located in the geometric center of the crutch, a support set (support- arm-hand) (4) and a joining system by any recognized industrial method. Cylinders (1, 2) are collected in rubber, rope tape (5). Next to a suction cup (6). All the materials used have the quality of flotation, within the rigidity indispensable for the structure of the crutches. The possibility of the cylinder (2) absorbing the part (1) is admitted.
