Description

DESCRIPTION

Sun protection barrier

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present application refers to a physical sunscreen that forms a sun protection barrier and prevents or reduces the arrival of UV rays to the skin but allows the beneficial effect (vitamin D, tanning ...) generated by the sunlight.

STATE OF THE ART

The use of sun creams is known to protect the user from the main damaging effects of sunlight. These creams have factors that mainly block UV radiation so that it does not reach the sensitive parts of the skin.

The use of umbrellas, awnings and other materials that create a shade is also known, so that the passage of direct sunlight is completely stopped, thus reducing the harmful aspects, but also the beneficial ones.

The applicant does not know of any protector that allows to solve all these problems as easily as the invention.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a solar protection barrier according to the first claim. Its different variants solve the problems outlined.

The sun protection barrier is of the type formed by a support, at least one arm and a barrier surface. In a novel way, the surface is transparent to visible light and at least partially opaque to UV radiation.

The barrier can be mechanized, so that the user can move it with a command, or be automated. For this, this embodiment comprises a surface orientation mechanism that modifies the position and inclination of the arm and / or the surface with respect to it.

When you want to automate, it is preferable to have a user position sensor (camera, antennas for receiving the position of an emitter on the lounger, a headband, a bracelet ...).

It may also be convenient to include a solar position sensor, so that the surface can move in parallel with the sun. The controller will be able to monitor the user's position or estimate it from the starting position of the surface.

Other variants can be seen in the rest of the report.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

For a better understanding of the invention, the following figures are included.

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the invention will be briefly described below, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.

Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the sunscreen, formed by a support (1) comprising an arm (2) and a surface (3) to block the passage of part of the solar radiation.

The surface (3) is made of a translucent or transparent material, but which is opaque to UV radiation (commercially available). For example, it can be plastic or glass. In one embodiment, the surface is silica, sand and soda glass, fully opaque to UV-B and UV-C radiation and partially opaque to UV-A radiation.

The arm (2) can be a straight mast, a bent mast, telescopic ... or any other type of element that allows the surface (3) to be separated from the support (1). On the other hand, the support (1) can be a ballast, a point to be driven into the ground, a clamp or clamp to be attached to a deck chair, etc.

In one embodiment, the arm (2) comprises motors to orient and move the surface (3), so that it always provides protection to the same area. For this, it can have a solar position sensor (4) (commercially available) and a user position sensor (5) that checks the relative position of a lounger, chair or directly from the user. The user's position sensor (5) can be a camera with object recognition, or an antenna that locates the position of a transmitter located on the lounger or chair. The advantage of the camera is that it also allows to compare if the shadow is in the correct position, comparing the user's position with the less illuminated area. In this case, the solar position sensor (4) is not necessary.

In another embodiment, the support (1) is integrated into a casing (6), having a support (1) on each of its side faces, the casing having a practicable cover (7) through which a inflatable pillow (8) on which the user can lean.

In this embodiment, the surface (3) can be folded to take up less space when we want to store the set or transport it.

The surface (3) can be rigid or have a frame that provides it with sufficient rigidity. Thus, it is easier for the mechanism to reorient the surface (3) according to the solar or user position.

The user position sensor (5) can control the position of the entire user, lounger or chair or only the position of the face.

When the sunscreen comprises electrical or electronic elements, it needs a power source, such as a battery powered by one or more solar panels.
