La invención, tal como expresa el enunciado de la presente memoria descriptiva, se refiere a una funda protectora para embarcaciones que aporte, a la función a que se destina, ventajas y características, que se describen en detalle más adelante, que suponen una mejora del estado actual de la técnica.The invention, as expressed in the statement of the present specification, refers to a protective sheath for boats that contributes, to the function to which it is intended, advantages and characteristics, which are described in detail below, which imply an improvement of the Current state of the art.

Más en particular, el objeto de la invención se centra en una funda destinada a su instalación bajo el casco de las embarcaciones amarradas en puerto que, confeccionada en material flexible e impermeable y dimensionada para cubrir, al menos, la zona de obra viva de la embarcación, está provista de, al menos, un tubo conectable a una bomba de succión que permite extraer el agua existente entre la funda y la superficie del casco, y opcionalmente a un soplador de aire que permite secar dicha superficie tras extraer el agua, evitando la incrustación de microorganismos y la acumulación suciedad que provoca el prolongado contacto con el agua.More particularly, the object of the invention is centered on a cover intended for installation under the hull of vessels moored in port which, made of flexible and waterproof material and sized to cover, at least, the live work area of the vessel, it is provided with at least one tube that can be connected to a suction pump that allows water to be extracted between the holster and the hull surface, and optionally to an air blower that allows said surface to dry after extracting the water, avoiding the embedding of microorganisms and the accumulation of dirt that causes prolonged contact with water.

CAMPO DE APLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNFIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

El campo de aplicación de la presente invención se enmarca dentro del sector de la industria dedicada a la fabricación de artículos náuticos, centrándose particularmente en el ámbito de los sistemas de protección del casco para embarcaciones.The field of application of the present invention falls within the sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacture of nautical articles, focusing particularly on the field of boat hull protection systems.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Como es sabido, las embarcaciones que permanecen amarradas en los puertos, van acumulando suciedad junto a los microorganismos del agua que se incrustan en la superficie del casco que se sitúa por debajo de la línea de flotación u obra viva, siendo dicha acumulación más o menos importante en función de la zona y de si se trata de aguas salada o dulce. En cualquier caso, este problema obliga a los propietarios de la embarcación a someterlas, al menos una vez al año, a una limpieza que suele ser costosa, tanto en tiempo como económicamente, especialmente si, como ocurre a menudo, se hace necesaria la extracción a dique seco de la embarcación, ya que, especialmente en el caso de embarcaciones de gran tamaño, ello supone un gasto importante.As it is known, vessels that remain moored in the ports, accumulate dirt next to the microorganisms of the water that are embedded in the surface of the hull that is located below the waterline or live work, said accumulation being more or less important depending on the area and whether it is salty or fresh water. In any case, this problem forces the owners of the boat to submit them, at least once a year, to a cleaning that is usually expensive, both in time as economically, especially if, as is often the case, the dry dock extraction of the vessel is necessary, since, especially in the case of large vessels, this implies a significant expense.

Por otra parte, no llevar a cabo dicha limpieza tampoco es una opción, ya que, además de provocar pérdida de potencia en la navegación por el roce que se produce con la superficie del agua, en los puertos las autoridades no permiten la entrada a las embarcaciones ajenas que no estén limpias, ya que ello puede supone un riesgo medioambiental.On the other hand, not carrying out such cleaning is not an option either, since, in addition to causing loss of power in navigation due to the friction that occurs with the surface of the water, in the ports the authorities do not allow entry to the foreign vessels that are not clean, as this may pose an environmental risk.

El objetivo de la presente invención es, pues, el desarrollo de un medio práctico y efectivo que permita solventar dicha problemática evitando que la embarcación quede en contacto con el agua que provoca la incrustación de los microorganismos y la formación de algas y acumulación de suciedad consecuentes, sin necesidad de tener que sacarla del agua.The objective of the present invention is, therefore, the development of a practical and effective means to solve said problem, preventing the boat from being in contact with the water that causes the microorganisms to be embedded and the formation of algae and dirt accumulation consequent. , without having to take it out of the water.

Por otra parte, y como referencia al estado actual de la técnica, cabe señalar que, al menos por parte del solicitante, se desconoce la existencia de ninguna otra funda protectora para embarcaciones que presente unas características técnicas, estructurales y constitutivas iguales o semejantes a las que presente la que aquí se reivindica.On the other hand, and as a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, at least on the part of the applicant, it is unknown the existence of any other protective sheath for boats that has technical, structural and constitutive characteristics equal or similar to Present the one claimed here.
