Description

Beschreibung SchwimmhilfeDescription buoyancy aid

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schwimmhilfe-Vorrichtung, bestehend aus einem länglichen, schwimmfähigen Körper aus wasserfestem Material wie Kunststoff oder Schaumstoff.The invention relates to a buoyancy aid device, consisting of an elongated, floatable body made of waterproof material such as plastic or foam.

Derartige Vorrichtungen werden auch kurz als Schwimmhilfe oder Schwimmnudel bezeichnet. Sie bestehen üblicherweise aus geschäumtem Polyethylen und sind zwischen 1,5 und 2 m lang. Sie haben meist einen Durchmesser von 5 bis 8 cm und werden im Wasser entweder unter den Bauch oder den Rücken des Schwimmers gelegt, wobei sie aufgrund ihrer Auftriebskraft vermeiden, daß der Körper des Schwimmers selbst ohne Schwimmbewegungen untergeht. Dabei übt sie einen leichten Druck gegen die im Wasser befindliche Unterseite des Körpers des Schwimmers aus.Such devices are also referred to as swimming aids or swimming noodles. They usually consist of foamed polyethylene and are between 1.5 and 2 m long. They are usually 5 to 8 cm in diameter and are placed in the water either under the swimmer's belly or back, and due to their buoyancy they prevent the swimmer's body from sinking even without swimming. In doing so, she exerts a slight pressure on the underside of the swimmer's body in the water.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, der Schwimmhilfe eine das Wohlbefinden steigernde Wirkung zu verleihen. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Oberfläche der Schwimmhilfe-Vorrichtung Noppen aufweist.The object of the invention is to give the swimming aid a well-being effect. This object is achieved in that the surface of the buoyancy aid device has nubs.

Die Oberfläche der Schwimmhilfe weist mit anderen Worten eine Vielzahl ' ../ • • .-•- ' von vofkVageήden, einige Millimeter bis wenige Zentimeter lange Noppen auf, die der Stimulation der Haut dienen. Beispielsweise wird die Stimulation der Nadis, Reflexpunkte, Reflexzonen, Akupunkturpunkte, Gewebe, Muskula¬ tur, Knochen und Gefäße durch die Noppen in ausreichender Größe an der Oberfläche der igelartigen Schwimmnudel, nachfolgend Igelschwimmnudel genannt, erreicht. Das schwimmfähige Material der Igelschwimmnudel kann je nach den gewünschten Eigenschaften ausgewählt sein. Die Igelschwimmnudel kann aus Kork, natürlichem Kautschuk, Latex oder synthetischem Kunststoff, insbesondere Polyethylen, besteht, wobei der Werkstoff vorzugsweise einen Hohlraum aufweist oder geschäumt ist. Durch den Hohlraum oder die Vielzahl von Gaseinschlüssen bei einem geschäumten Material wird die Igelschwimmnudel leicht und erhält im Wasser den erforderlichen guten Auftrieb.The surface of the buoyancy aid has in other words a large number '../ • • .- • -' on of vofkVageήden, a few millimeters to a few centimeters long pimples that serve to stimulate the skin. For example, the stimulation of the Nadi, reflex points, reflex zones, acupuncture points, tissue Muskula ¬ tur, bones and blood vessels by the knobs in a sufficient size on the surface of the hedgehog-like Schwimmnudel, hereinafter referred to hedgehog Schwimmnudel achieved. The buoyant material of the hedgehog swimming noodle can be selected depending on the desired properties. The hedgehog swimming noodle can consist of cork, natural rubber, latex or synthetic plastic, in particular polyethylene, the material preferably having a cavity or being foamed. Due to the cavity or the multitude of gas inclusions in the case of a foamed material, the hedgehog swimming noodle becomes light and gets the necessary good buoyancy in the water.

Die Oberfläche der Igelschwimmnudel kann mit einem Kunststoffschlauch überzogen sein, der die Noppen aufweist. Die Schwimmnudel kann aber auch aus homogenem Material mit Noppen an der Oberfläche bestehen.The surface of the hedgehog swimming noodle can be covered with a plastic tube that has the knobs. The swimming noodle can also consist of homogeneous material with nubs on the surface.

Die Igelschwimmnudel kann in verschiedenen Bereichen eine unterschiedliche Dichte und/oder Härte aufweisen. Insbesondere kann sie nahe der Oberfläche und im Bereich der Noppen eine größere Härte und/oder Dichte aufweisen, um ein angemessen starkes Eindrücken der Noppen in die Haut des Schwimmers zu bewirken.The hedgehog swimming noodle can have different densities and / or hardness in different areas. In particular, it can have a greater hardness and / or density near the surface and in the region of the knobs in order to bring about an appropriately strong indentation of the knobs into the skin of the swimmer.

Die Igelschwimmnudel weist vorzugsweise eine Länge von ca. 1 m bis 2,2 m und einen Durchmesser von ca. 3 cm bis 15 cm auf.The hedgehog swimming noodle preferably has a length of approximately 1 m to 2.2 m and a diameter of approximately 3 cm to 15 cm.

Die Igelschwimmnudel kann industriell aus einem Kunststoff, vorzugsweise geschäumtem Polyethylen, im Extrusionsverfahren hergestellt werden. Der erwärmte Kunststoff wird in pastösem Zustand durch eine Düse gedrückt und härtet beim Abkühlen aus. Hinter der Düse werden Formbacken an den äußeren Umfang des entstehenden Kunststofftubus angelegt, welche Vertiefungen aufweisen, die die Noppen bilden.The hedgehog floating noodle can be produced industrially from a plastic, preferably foamed polyethylene, in the extrusion process. The heated plastic is pressed through a nozzle in a pasty state and hardens when it cools down. Form jaws are placed behind the nozzle on the outer circumference of the resulting plastic tube, which have depressions that form the knobs.

Die längliche Igelschwimmnudel kann gerade oder gekrümmt sein. Ihr Material kann starr oder flexibel sein. Der Querschnitt der Igelschwimmnudel kann konstant sein oder über ihre Länge variieren. Der Querschnitt der Igclschwimmnudel kann auch von einem runden Querschnitt abweichen und z.B. die Form einer Ellipse aufweisen.The elongated hedgehog swimming noodle can be straight or curved. Your material can be rigid or flexible. The cross section of the hedgehog swimming noodle can be constant or vary over its length. The cross section of the Igcl floating noodle can also deviate from a round cross-section and have, for example, the shape of an ellipse.

Die Oberfläche der Igelschwimmnudel kann mit einen Latexschlauch überzo- gen bzw. eingekapselt sein, der mit Noppen eng bestückt ist, so daß derThe surface of the hedgehog swimming noodle can be covered or encapsulated with a latex tube, which is fitted with knobs so that the

Körper stimuliert werden kann. Durch die Noppen wird zudem die Griffigkeit oder Griffähigkeit erhöht.Body can be stimulated. The knobs also increase grip or grip.

Sie ist, wie erwähnt, schwimmfähig und u.a. eine Auftriebshilfe, eine Ge- sundheitshilfe, ein Fitnessgerät, ein Gerät für Aqua-Fitness, Therapien und Prävention sowie vieles mehr. Das Prinzip des Archimedes sorgt für seine Auftriebskraft.As mentioned, it is buoyant and, among other things, a buoyancy aid, a health aid, a fitness device, a device for aqua fitness, therapies and prevention and much more. The principle of Archimedes ensures its buoyancy.

Die Auftriebskraft wird bestimmt durch ihre Länge, ihren Durchmesser und durch die Dichte der in das Wasser eingetauchten Igelschwimmnudel (Latex/ Kunststoffes) .The buoyancy is determined by its length, its diameter and the density of the hedgehog swimming noodle (latex / plastic) immersed in the water.

Mögliche Kriterien und Merkmale der Igelschwimmnudel: Sie sollte chlor- wasserstabil, salzwasserstabil, eine schmutzabweisende und/oder bakterien- abweisende Oberfläche aufweisen, hautverträglich sein, keine Allergien auslösen, UV-stabil, ozonstabil, hitzestabil, farbstabil sein, eine hohe Griffigkeit oder Griffähigkeit aufweisen. Der Innenkern kann aus Kunststoff und die Oberfläche aus Latex bestehen. Die Oberfläche ist mit Noppen (z.B. mit einer Höhe von ca. 0,5 bis 3 cm) bestückt. Alternativ können der Kern und die Oberfläche der Igelschwimmnudel aus dem gleichen Material bestehen. Die Höhe der Noppen kann in verschiedenen Bereichen der Igelschwimmnudel variieren. Auch kann die Härte der Noppen variieren. Es ist sogar möglich, innerhalb eines Noppens Zonen unterschiedlicher Härte zu verwirklichen. Ausführungsformen der Erfindung werden unter Bezugnahme auf die beigefügten Zeichnungen beschrieben.Possible criteria and features of the Hedgehog Swimming Noodle: It should be chlorine-water-stable, saltwater-stable, have a dirt-repellent and / or bacteria-repellent surface, be skin-friendly, not trigger any allergies, UV-stable, ozone-stable, heat-stable, color-stable, have a good grip or grip , The inner core can be made of plastic and the surface of latex. The surface is equipped with knobs (e.g. with a height of approx. 0.5 to 3 cm). Alternatively, the core and the surface of the hedgehog swimming noodle can be made of the same material. The height of the knobs can vary in different areas of the hedgehog swimming noodle. The hardness of the knobs can also vary. It is even possible to create zones of different hardness within one knob. Embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Die Zeichnungen zeigen in:The drawings show in:

Figur 1 eine schaubildliche Darstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Schwimmnudel; Figur 2 eine Seitenansicht des unteren Abschnitts der Schwimmnudel aus Figur 1; Figur 3 eine gemäß der Schnittlinie III-III in Figur 2 geschnittene Darstellung der Schwimmnudel;Figure 1 is a diagrammatic representation of the swimming noodle according to the invention; FIG. 2 shows a side view of the lower section of the swimming noodle from FIG. 1; FIG. 3 shows a representation of the swimming noodle cut along the section line III-III in FIG. 2;

Figur 4 verschiedene Darstellungen der Noppen der Schwimmnudel.Figure 4 different representations of the nubs of the swimming noodle.

Die in Figur 1 dargestellte Schwimmnudel besteht aus einem Körper 1, der aus einem schwimmfähigen flexiblen Material gefertigt ist. Vorzugsweise besteht der Körper 1 aus einem geschäumten Kunststoff, insbesondere Polyethylen. Dieser Kunststoff ist hautfreundlich und beständig gegen Alterung und chemische Zersetzung. Es sind aber auch andere schwimmfähi- ge Materialien (z.B. geschäumtes Polystyrol, Kork, geschäumter Gummi etc.) verwendbar. Die Schwimmnudel kann auch aus nicht-schwimmfähigem Material bestehen und einen Hohlraum aufweisen, der mit Luft oder einem anderen Gas gefüllt ist.The swimming noodle shown in Figure 1 consists of a body 1 which is made of a floatable flexible material. The body 1 preferably consists of a foamed plastic, in particular polyethylene. This plastic is kind to the skin and resistant to aging and chemical decomposition. However, other floatable materials (e.g. foamed polystyrene, cork, foamed rubber etc.) can also be used. The swimming noodle can also consist of non-floatable material and have a cavity which is filled with air or another gas.

Der durch die Schwimmnudel erzeugte Auftrieb muß ausreichend groß sein, um den Körper des Benutzers auch ohne Schwimmbewegungen zumindest soweit über Wasser zu halten, daß ein problemloses Atmen möglich ist. Die Schwimmnudel hat vorzugsweise eine Länge von Im bis etwa 1 ,20m. Ihr Durchmesser liegt in der Praxis über 3cm und vorzugsweise zwischen 5cm und 10cm. An der äußeren Oberfläche des Körpers 1 der Schwimmnudel sind Noppen 2 angebracht. Aus diesem Grund wird die Schwimmnudcl auch als "Igel- schwimmnudel" bezeichnet. Die Noppen 2 können aus dem gleichen Material bestehen, wie die Schwimmnudel selbst. Alternativ kann der Körper in einer Ausführungsform mit einer Ummantelung (nicht dargestellt) versehen sein, welche die Noppen trägt.The buoyancy generated by the swimming noodle must be large enough to keep the user's body above water at least so far without swimming movements that breathing is possible without problems. The swimming noodle preferably has a length of 1 m to approximately 1.20 m. In practice, their diameter is over 3 cm and preferably between 5 cm and 10 cm. Nubs 2 are attached to the outer surface of the body 1 of the swimming noodle. For this reason, the swimming noodle is also called "hedgehog swimming noodle". The knobs 2 can be made of the same material as the swimming noodle itself. Alternatively, in one embodiment the body can be provided with a sheathing (not shown) which carries the knobs.

Die Figur 2 zeigt eine vergrößerte Darstellung eines Abschnittes der Schwimmnudel in Seitenansicht. Die Figur 3 zeigt diesen Abschnitt in quergeschnittener Darstellung. Die Noppen 2 weisen eine Höhe zwischen 1cm und 2cm und einen ähnlichen Durchmesser auf. Sie sind rotationssymmetrisch und kegelförmig ausgebildet. Sie weisen eine gerundete Kuppe auf, so daß die therapeutischen Wirkungen, z.B. Stimulierung der Akupunkturpunkte, Reflexpunkte und Reflexzonen optimiert sind und wirkungsvoll aber nicht unangenehm sind.FIG. 2 shows an enlarged illustration of a section of the swimming noodle in a side view. FIG. 3 shows this section in a cross-sectional representation. The knobs 2 have a height between 1 cm and 2 cm and a similar diameter. They are rotationally symmetrical and conical. They have a rounded crest so that the therapeutic effects, e.g. Stimulation of the acupuncture points, reflex points and reflex zones are optimized and are effective but not unpleasant.

Je nach Materialeigenschaften, insbesondere Härte des Materials, können die Noppen unterschiedlich geformt sein. Die Figur 4 zeigt verschiedene Formen rotationssymmetrischer Noppen. Die oben gezeigte Form der Noppe 2 entspricht der aus den Figuren 2 und 3 ersichtlichen Noppenform. Darunter ist eine kegelige Noppe 2' dargestellt. Diese Form ist bei weicherem Material sinnvoll, um ein ausreichend tiefes Eindringen der feinen Spitze zu erreichen. Die darunter liegenden Darstellungen zeigen eine kegelstumpfförmige Noppe 2" sowie eine kegelstumpfförmige Noppe mit aufgesetztem Kugelkopf 2'". Es können aber auch beliebige andere Noppenformen und auch nicht- rotationssymmetrische Noppen verwendet werden. Die Noppenformen können in verschiedenen Bereichen der Igelschwimmnudel unterschiedlich gewählt werden. Ebenfalls ist die in den Figuren l und 2 dargestellte Noppenanordnung in über den Umfang verteilten Reihen jeweils auf gleicher Höhe des Körpers 1 nicht zwingend notwendig. Die Noppen können auch in spiralförmigen Linien, in anderen Mustern oder in zufälliger Verteilung auf der Oberfläche des Körpers 1 der Schwimmnudel angebracht werden. Die Form, Größe und Verteilung der Noppe sollte nach dem gewünschten therapeutischen Effekten und den gewünschten ästhetischen Aspekten ausgewählt werden.Depending on the material properties, in particular the hardness of the material, the knobs can be shaped differently. FIG. 4 shows different forms of rotationally symmetrical knobs. The shape of the knob 2 shown above corresponds to the knob shape shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. Below this, a conical knob 2 'is shown. This shape is useful for softer material in order to achieve a sufficiently deep penetration of the fine tip. The representations below show a truncated cone-shaped knob 2 "and a truncated cone-shaped knob with attached ball head 2 '". However, any other knob shapes and non-rotationally symmetrical knobs can also be used. The knob shapes can be selected differently in different areas of the hedgehog swimming noodle. Likewise, the knob arrangement shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is in rows distributed over the circumference in each case at the same height of the body 1 not mandatory. The knobs can also be applied in spiral lines, in other patterns or in a random distribution on the surface of the body 1 of the swimming noodle. The shape, size and distribution of the knob should be selected according to the desired therapeutic effects and the desired aesthetic aspects.
