Description

The present invention relates to a swimming technique using muscular strength. The object of the invention is to expand the capabilities of the human swimmer, which allows him to swim fast, maneuver freely, and dive in the water, bringing his capabilities closer to those of moving aquatic animals.

The present invention is based on the use of thigh and shoulder muscular motors, which are driven and controlled by the most powerful thigh and shoulder muscles. The thigh muscle swimmer has a muscular motor, two or one flaps kinematically connected to it, brackets (6 or 13) directly attached to the torso support (1) with sham-axle (7 or 17) flaps and flap levers (8 or 18). which are driven from the thigh arms (3) by means of intermediate arms (11) or brackets (20) connected to the hinges (10, 12 or 21, 23). Shoulder muscle swimmer has torso support, ball joints (29) directly attached to the torso support (1), adjustable levers (30), ball joints (31) with fins (33) and fins perpendicularly fixed to the outer spheres (34), the control movements of the fin guides (33) are transmitted by the upper arm guides (28), directly supported by the shoulder levers (24), the rigidly secured upper arm clamps (25) with the upper arm arm, the shoulder clips (26) with the torso support (1), the chest clamp (27) between the shoulder levers (24) at the centers of the shoulder joints, the fin guides (33) and the fin axes (34) transmit directional control movements through the fin arms (35, 36) to the fin panels (45, 46). Braking movements are accomplished by lifting the upper arm guides (28), from which movement through the slider (37), axes (39, 40, 43, 44), lever (41,42), pivot fins (35, 36) and fin plates (45, 46) to the unfolded hydrodynamic brake position.

The present invention relates to a swimming technique using muscular force.

Known individual swimmer propeller (French Patent No. 2094538,

B23H 16/14), which has a strap for attaching the strut to the torso, pedals attached to the strut, to which power is transmitted from the feet. Also known is a sports swimming device (German Patent DE 44 10 674 Al, B63H 16/18) which has an inflatable swimming body with a paddle attached to it and connected to the pedals. Known inflatable beach fish (French Patent No. 2164535, B63H

16/00) which is powered by a paddle with hard-mounted pedals.

The disadvantage of all these devices is that the torso is attached separately from the body of the swimmer, torso, does not form an immediate kinematic connection and seamless mechanism, and prevents the use of the strongest thigh muscles for the immediate motion of the torso.

The object of the present invention is to fully expand the capabilities of the human swimmer, which allows him to swim fast, maneuver freely, and dive in the water, bringing his capabilities closer to those of mobile aquatic animals.

The stated goal is achieved by the use of two muscular propellers: the thigh muscular propulsion (the first) for fast and efficient forward movement, and the shoulder propulsion (the second) for the direction of movement and braking movements. The first muscular swimmer propulsion has a femoral muscular motor according to the USSR invention of the inventor R. Daini, a.l. No. No. 945491, July 23, 1982, comprising the torso support, thigh levers, torso and thigh clips of a first muscle motor. One or two brackets are attached to the support of the first muscular motor, to which one or two flap levers are rigidly attached, with one or two flaps rigidly attached to them. The swingarm levers are linked kinematically directly to the thigh levers.

The present invention provides qualitatively new swimmer maneuvering capabilities with the use of a substantially new shoulder muscle (second) muscle motor for efficient shoulder fin steering and braking movements. The second muscle motor has a shoulder lever attached by elastic clamps to the arm of the arm, the first muscle motor support and a common elastic clamp fastened to the upper chest by a common elastic clamp. Sliding motion upper arm guides are attached to the fins, which directly transmit various upper arm movements to the fin guides. Ball joints are attached to the support of the first muscular motor, which are connected by means of adjustable levers to free-moving ball joints at the other end. The pivot guides are rigidly attached to the outer spheres of these pivots, forming a kinematic slip pair with the above-mentioned pivot guides, thereby providing immediate transmission of the shoulder-arm muscles to the fins. The fins consist of two compact symmetrical plates which are connected to a common axis perpendicular to the fin guides and rigidly attached to the outer sphere of the ball joint together with the fin guides. The fins can easily be turned from the steering wheel into a hydrodynamic brake by sharply tilting parts of the panels in opposite directions thanks to the slider and two-lever shift from their underarm guides. An impacted shoulder movement cushion compresses the shock absorber, which, when the shoulder is lowered, forces the fin panels back into contact with the steering functions.

The immediate kinematic relationship between the thighs and the raft opens up great opportunities for accurate and powerful and sudden thigh movements to achieve high propulsion. This allows you to capture the desired angular position of the swimmers at sudden moments of thigh stopping, which can lead to sudden changes in swim direction and speed, and sudden turns. These sharp turns and maneuvering can be accomplished even more effectively by utilizing the full range of fins-steering brakes by locking the fins in a variety of cornering and / or braking positions with sufficiently powerful shoulder strap muscle groups.

The shoulder muscle swimmer according to the first embodiment has a torso support 1 (according to USSR al. 945491), a torso clamp 2, two thigh arms 3 with a thigh clip 4, two axles 5 connecting the torso support 1 with the thigh arms 3. Attached to the torso support two brackets 6 which are axially chamfered 7 connected to two flap levers 8 to which two flaps 9 are attached. Two thigh arms 3 are axially chamfered 10 connected to two intermediate levers 11 which are axially chamfered 12 to the flap levers 8.

The thigh muscular swimmer propulsion according to the second variant also has a support 1 (according to USSR al. 945491), a torso clamp 2, two thigh arms 3 with a thigh clip 4, two axles 5 connecting the torso support 1 with the thigh arms 3. At the torso support 1 is provided with a bracket 13 and a circular guide 14, the center of whose circumference being aligned with the spatial axis of the coaxial 5.

The circular guides 14 are connected by a kinematic pair with a circular slider 15, the extension of which after the circumferential guides is constructed as a bracket 16 and is parallel to the initial position of the torso support 1. The ends of the two brackets 20 are connected by two universal joints 21, two universal joints 22 and two universal joints 23 to two right and left lower link arms 3, respectively.

The second shoulder muscle propulsion has a shoulder lever 24, an upper arm clamp 25, an elastic shoulder clamp 26 and a chest clamp 27. The shoulder lever 24 has a rigidly guided upper arm guide 28. A ball joint 29 is attached to the upper portion of the torso support 1 and connected to an adjustable length lever 30. a ball joint 31. A fin guide 33 is rigidly attached to the outer spheres 32 of the ball joint 31 and axes 34 of the fins perpendicular thereto, which are connected to the fins 35, 36. The fin guide 33 forms a kinematic pair with the caliper guides 28 and slider 37 Slider 37 with axial-sham 39, 40, levers 41, 42, ax-sham 43, 44 kinematically coupled to fin levers 35, 36. The fin levers 35, 36 are fitted with fin plates 45, 46 made of elastic elastic material.

Head restraint 47 attached to part 1 of rear torso support.

The swimmer performs swing movements 9 or 19 using the thigh movements. In the first version of the thigh muscle swimmer propulsion, the thigh movements are transmitted through the thigh levers 3 and further to the intermediate levers 11 for the flap levers 8 and the flaps 9. The direction of movement of the flap 9 is completely coincident with the direction of the thigh movement. Movements in the thighs can be made in the same or opposite directions.

In the second version of the thigh muscle swimmer propulsion, the thigh movements are transmitted via the cardan levers 22, the brackets 20 to the flap lever 18 and the flap 19. Movements in the thighs can only be made in opposite directions; right thigh, hair 19 moves to the right.

In the shoulder muscular propulsion, the swimmer performs steering movements of the fins by moving the upper arm and / or shoulder, and at the same time rigidly securing the shoulder arms 24, 26, 27, which, through the attached upper guiding guides 28, transmit identical movements to the fins.

The swimmer performs braking movements by lifting both shoulders or one shoulder up. The rigid arm and shoulder arm shoulder arms 24, and the arm guides 28, move upwardly to move the slider 37, push it further and together through the hinges 39, 40, the arms 41, 42, the axis 43, 44 pivot the fins 35, 36 and with them the fin plates 45.46 in the unfolded position, turning the fins into a hydrodynamic brake. The braking forces depend entirely on the degree of unfolding of the fins and the sharpness of their lifting, and thus on the height of the shoulder and the sharpness of that lifting. When adjusting the length of the lever 30 in its initial position, a gap of 2 - 3 cm should be left between the upper edge of the upper arm and the edge of the slider 37. This gap allows you to freely perform all lateral movements of the upper arm and shoulder, while also being able to perform a variety of swimmer direction control movements. Raising both shoulders or one shoulder 2.5 - 3.5 cm can be used for partial and braking movements, while raising the shoulders 4 cm and more will only perform braking movements. The shoulder muscle propulsion allows the swimmer to perform propulsive forward movements by rotating the upper limbs near the torso. The fins in this case "plaza" in a manner analogous to that of penguins moving their wings. The swimmer can still drive in the following directions:

(a) in retrograde motion, with the jaws (arms) raised upwards near the head;

(b) towards the front of the chest, with the arms (hands) bent, back;

(c) in the back direction, moving the outstretched arms (hands) forward.

Wings 9 and 19 are made of a rigid material. Their stiffness is at the very bottom of the fins. Therefore, when lateral movements are performed, they are folded and this results in an immediate conversion of the femoral muscle force into the swimming propulsion, in complete analogy to dolphin or fish tail fins.

Muscle swimmers can be used effectively in sports, entertainment, underwater exploration, and extremely effective in drowning rescue and other similar underwater work.
