PERIMETER SECURITY CLOSURE FOR PRACTICE OF AIR ACTIVITIES ON AQUATIC SURFACES

DESCRIPTION

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a perimeter fence for the practice, safely, of sports or recreational aerial activities carried out on an aquatic surface. For example, activities in which a flight vehicle is used for water sports, known as "flyboard."

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Propulsion devices or flight vehicles for water sports known as "flyboard" are known by their English name. These devices or vehicles, such as that shown in US patent document 2014263849, comprise a platform configured to support a vehicle driver and at least one fluid discharge nozzle (water) coupled to the platform at a certain angle to said platform.The device is further configured to receive the pressurized fluid from a remote source of pressurized fluid, and where, the device is configured to take flight over the aquatic surface Likewise, US 8336805 and CN 103419907 patent documents show other examples of these vehicles All these devices offer great freedom of movement through the air over the aquatic surface, where the station of compression that supplies the pressurized fluid for the propulsion of the vehicle of Flight can be remote in the form of a motorized marine vehicle, such as a speedboat. For a trained driver, the flight vehicle is safe and easy to operate, exciting, interesting and very fun. However, for beginners or those who do not have practice in driving such a flight vehicle it can be dangerous for both the driver and the spectators who are in the surroundings observing as a public the sporting or recreational activity.

For this reason, it is necessary to achieve a solution that, in a simple and economical way, allows the safe practice, both for the driver and for the public, of these recreational or sports activities in which these flight vehicles are used.

The inventor is unaware of the existence of any solution that shows similar characteristics to those presented by the invention that is recommended here.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a perimeter security fence for the practice of aerial activities carried out on a water surface, for example, using a water sports flight vehicle known as a "flyboard".

The technical problem to be solved is how to safely develop aerial activities on aquatic surfaces, the latter, such as, ports, lakes, swamps, swimming pools, or others that require a means of safety for both the spectators of the public and the driver of the flight vehicle.

The perimeter fencing comprises an inflatable or inflatable structure adapted to be disposed on the aquatic surface, where said inflatable structure comprises a base adapted to surround an interior space on the aquatic surface in which the recreational or sports aerial activity is developed. The inflatable structure also comprises a plurality of columns extended from the base, where, protection nets are adapted to cover two lateral faces each formed between two columns and the base.

Thus, recreational or sports air activity is carried out safely within the perimeter fence, both for the driver of the air vehicle and for the spectators that make up the public of the air activity. Before the occurrence of some lack of control of the aerial vehicle by its driver, the latter would collide with the protective nets that make up the side faces of the perimeter fence, or else the crash would occur against the columns of the inflatable structure, in any case, the shock manages to be cushioned without causing damage to the

driver, or public spectators who are located on the other side of the perimeter fence.

Likewise, being an inflatable structure, it can be deflated to facilitate the disassembly and transfer of the perimeter fence from one location to another, or for storage. If its use is required again, it is sufficient to inflate the inflatable structure in the new location.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

DETAILED EXHIBITION OF THE INVENTION

In view of the foregoing, the present invention relates to a perimeter security fence for the practice of aerial activities on aquatic surfaces, for example, in which a flight vehicle of the "flyboard" type is used.

As shown in Figure 1, the perimeter fence comprises a structure

inflatable (1) adapted to be placed on the aquatic surface. Preferably,

The material used to form the inflatable structure (1) comprises a wall thickness greater than 1 mm, with a view to guaranteeing the integrity and safety of the inflatable structure (1).

The inflatable structure (1) comprises a base (1.1), which, is adapted to surround an interior space (2) on the aquatic surface, where, recreational or sports aerial activity is developed, for example, in which it is used a flight vehicle of the type "flyboard" (not shown in the figures). The aquatic surface could be of a port, lake, swamp, swimming pool, or other that requires a means of security for both the spectators who train the public and the driver of the flight vehicle.

In addition, the inflatable structure (1) comprises a plurality of columns (1.2) extended from the base (1.1), where, protection nets (3) are adapted to cover both lateral faces (4) formed between two columns (1.2) and the base (1.1). For example, the protective nets (3) are fixed to the inflatable structure (1) by sewing, high strength glue or other fixing means that guarantee a lasting bond between the protective nets (3) and the inflatable structure (1 ).

Preferably, as shown in Figure 2, an access door (3.1) is formed in the protection network (3) of one of the lateral spaces (4). Through the door (3.1) a driver of the flight vehicle can enter and exit the security perimeter fence.

The inflatable structure (1) can also comprise two upper closing elements (1.4) of the lateral faces (4) extended between two columns (1.2). The upper closure elements (1.4) form an upper face (5), which could be covered by a second protection net (not shown in the figures) creating a closed security space, for example, when the aerial activity on the aquatic surface of a swimming pool or other type of closed aquatic surface where protection is required. Or, the upper face (5) could be devoid of the second protection net, for example, when air activity develops on open water surfaces, such as lakes or ports.

In a preferred embodiment shown in Figures 2 and 3, the inflatable structure (1) is modular and is made up of at least two parts (a, b), which are adapted to be joined by extensible elastic ends (6) . Thus, the transport and installation of the perimeter fence is facilitated.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 4, the inflatable structure (1) can comprise anchoring elements (1.5) of the fence. For example, said anchoring elements (1.5) could be in the form of a "ring" in which a rope can be tied (not shown in the figures) to fix the position of the perimeter fence of security during use in the place where it is located. The anchoring elements (1.5) could be arranged in the base (1.1), the columns (1.3) and / or in the upper closing elements (1.4) of the inflatable structure (1), obviously, the larger The inflatable structure (1), more anchoring elements (1.5) will need.
