DESCRIPTION COLLARÍN SALVAVIDAS

Object of the invention

The purpose of this utility model is a lifeguard collar that essentially serves as a buoyancy element to be an indispensable part of a method of preventing drowning or improving the buoyancy of the human body when performing any type of aquatic activity.

Background of the invention

In the state of the art, the applicant knows a multitude of solutions linked to the purpose of increasing the buoyancy of the human body. Usually the buoyancy elements, generally known as “lifeguards”, can be found of the vest type, bubble attached to the back, wheel placed on the waist or arms, etc.

At present, there are a multitude of designs and / or solutions for increasing buoyancy through these devices, the best known being those of a flexible material such as plastic or similar, swollen in turn by air or a gaseous solution that allows The buoyancy of the product.

That is why several solutions are known that try to propose new features to this type of product, but none as the solution presented here. Thus, the utility model ES 0 136 535, describes a float collar, characterized in that it is a circular chamber coupled at its ends by means of a metal hitch, this chamber is equipped with a gas-loaded valve device, which will inflate the chamber by a pulse given to the valve.

Similarly, the utility model ES1045906 describes a float-type float (lifebuoy), characterized by being a tool for body use, which consists of a tube or hose and a two-piece hitch, as main elements and a safety device The pieces that form the hitch are in the form of male and female, they will be connected to each other by a smooth adjustment and easy handling, both at the time

of coupling as when disconnecting. Also, the safety strip will have an easy-to-grip ear, especially for undocking. Inflation will be done through a valve of the type used in other models of inflatable floats.

Description of the invention

The technical problem solved by the present invention is to provide the human body with greater buoyancy when entering any aquatic environment, in addition to protecting the neck from possible sudden or harmful gestures in the course of performing any type of aquatic activity . To this end, the lifeguard collar, object of the present utility model, comprises a body with a recess for the placement of the neck of the carrier subject, and which is characterized in that the body has a progressively smaller section in its rear part than in its front part , in such a way that it conforms to the physical form of the carrier subject, allowing a total freedom of movement in its extremities which allows it to a wide variety of movements, whether it is its use in recreational moments or in moments of tension.

Thanks to its design, the set recommended here will allow the user to float in a comfortable way in any aquatic environment, always keeping the head out of the water, this causes it to be used by a wide range of possible users ranging from animals to people , including those that, due to their physical characteristics, it is essential to have a safe buoyancy medium, such as: babies, children, the elderly, the disabled.

In this way, thanks to the use of the set presented here, the user will minimize the risk of drowning when immersed in an aquatic environment since the user will always have his head out of the water, and will allow him a great freedom of movement in his limbs , made of special relevance for those situations in which there is a fall in the water since the user can swim freely, with the security of incorporating an element that helps him float.

Thanks to its manufacture in light materials and that take up little space, the collar presented here can be stored safely and easily, without changing the weight of the element of its transport, this fact will provide great advantages over similar solutions, in those elements where weight and space are vital elements

transcendence, as for example, in rescue boats.

The materials used (soft to skin contact), will allow its prolonged use not to be annoying or overwhelming, especially in use in activities that require a wide range of time of use, such as swimming or any type of sport ac. While maintaining sufficient rigidity and avoiding discomfort in movements and exercises that have to do with any type of water sport, swimming, buoyancy.

Its use will be advisable both outside and inside the water (both in swimming pools and on beaches), where you can avoid that in case of an accidental fall into the water (for example, children or elderly people), they can suffer injuries of varying severity. In addition, since the collar is located in a sensitive area (neck) you can avoid and / or cushion possible blows to the neck or head.

The insertion of a GPS chip, allows its rapid location in cases of maritime rescue, before floods or other elements where the rapid location of the subject carrying the collar can be decisive.

Finally, because the surface of the collar allows the screen printing of the collar, the collar can be used as a commercial claim, or adapt to the type of potential user, for example, with drawings for children that give them greater confidence in their use.
