Description

GORRO DE NATACIÓN MEJORADO OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN IMPROVED SWIMMING CAP OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención, tal y como se expresa en el enunciado de esta memoria descriptiva, se refiere a un gorro de natación mejorado cuya finalidad consiste en facilitar la evacuación del agua que penetra en determinados gorros de deportistas de natación, así como en mejorar la fijación del gorro en la cabeza del deportista. ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN Son conocidos los gorros que se emplean en competiciones deportivas de natación y que consisten en un tejido provisto de dos tirantes de abroche y dos ventanas laterales en las que se acoplan unas orejeras de material resistente y dotadas de unas perforaciones. Estos gorros conocidos presentan inconvenientes relativos a que el agua que penetra en el interior del gorro no se evacúa todo lo rápidamente que sería deseable, generándose bolsas de agua entre la cabeza del deportista y el gorro que molestan a dicho deportista y que dificultan una perfecta fijación del gorro en la correspondiente cabeza.The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification, refers to an improved swimming cap whose purpose is to facilitate the evacuation of water that penetrates certain hats of swimming athletes, as well as to improve the fixation of the cap on the sportsman's head. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The caps that are used in swimming sports competitions and which consist of a fabric provided with two clasp straps and two side windows in which earmuffs of resistant material and equipped with perforations are coupled are known. These known caps have drawbacks related to the fact that the water that penetrates inside the cap does not evacuate as quickly as would be desirable, generating pockets of water between the athlete's head and the cap that bother said athlete and hinder a perfect fixation. of the cap on the corresponding head.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN Para lograr lo objetivos y evitar los inconvenientes indicados en anteriores apartados, la invención consiste en un gorro de natación mejorado de los que son empleables en competiciones deportivas de natación y que cuenta con un tejido provisto de dos tirantes de abroche y de dos ventanas laterales en las que se acoplan unas orejeras de material resistente y dotadas de unas perfora- ciones .DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION To achieve the objectives and avoid the inconveniences indicated in previous sections, the invention consists of an improved swimming cap that can be used in swimming sports competitions and has a fabric provided with two fastening straps and two side windows in which some earmuffs of resistant material and equipped with perforations are attached.
Novedosamente, según la invención, el gorro presenta en el tejido que lo constituye una pluralidad de pequeños orificios que facilitan la evacuación del agua que penetre en el gorro y mejoran la fijación del gorro en la cabeza del deportista en virtud de que se evita la for- mación de bolsas de agua entre dichos gorro y cabeza.Novelly, according to the invention, the cap has a plurality of small holes in the fabric that facilitate the evacuation of the water that penetrates the cap and improves the fixation of the cap on the athlete's head by virtue of preventing - water bags between said hat and head.
En una realización preferente de la invención los aludidos orificios se encuentran distribuidos regularmente por todo el tejido que constituye al gorro en una disposición de tresbolillo.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the aforementioned holes are distributed regularly throughout the fabric that constitutes the cap in a three-pin arrangement.
A continuación para facilitar una mejor comprensión de esta memoria descriptiva y formando parte integrante de la misma, se acompaña una figura única en la que con carácter ilustrativo y no limitativo se ha repre- sentado el objeto de la invención.Next, in order to facilitate a better understanding of this descriptive report and forming an integral part thereof, a unique figure is attached in which the object of the invention has been shown as an illustrative and non-limiting nature.
BREVE DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA FIGURABRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURE
Figura 1.- Representa una vista en perspectiva de un gorro de natación mejorado realizado según la presente invención, mostrándose un detalle ampliado del tejido constituyente de dicho gorro para apreciar los orificios característicos del mismo.Figure 1.- Represents a perspective view of an improved swimming cap made according to the present invention, showing an enlarged detail of the fabric constituting said cap to appreciate the characteristic holes thereof.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE UN EJEMPLO DE REALIZACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN Seguidamente se realiza una descripción de un ejemplo de la invención, haciendo referencia a la numera- ción adoptada en la figura.DESCRIPTION OF AN EXAMPLE OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Next, a description of an example of the invention is made, referring to the numbering adopted in the figure.
Así, el gorro de natación mejorado de este ejemplo de la invención consiste en un gorro 1 formado por un tejido 2 y provisto de unos tirantes de abroche 5.Thus, the improved swimming cap of this example of the invention consists of a cap 1 formed by a fabric 2 and provided with fastener straps 5.
Además, en dos zonas laterales del gorro 1 hay unas ventanas en las que se acoplan unas orejeras 4 de plástico duro y provistas de unas perforaciones 6.In addition, in two lateral areas of the cap 1 there are windows in which hard plastic earmuffs 4 are fitted and provided with perforations 6.
El tejido 2 presenta en toda su extensión y con una distribución regular al tresbolillo pequeños orificios 3, tal y como se representa en el detalle de la figura 1.The fabric 2 has in its entire length and with a regular distribution to the small hole small holes 3, as shown in the detail of figure 1.
Estos orificios 3 del tejido 2 determinan que el agua que penetra en el interior del gorro se evacúe inmediatamente hacia el exterior, evitando que se formen bolsas de agua según sucedía en los gorros convencionales realizados con un tejido continuo. Con ello además se mejora la fijación del gorro 1 sobre la cabeza del correspondiente deportista. These holes 3 of the fabric 2 determine that the water that penetrates inside the cap is immediately evacuated to the outside, preventing water pockets from forming as was the case in conventional caps made of continuous fabric. This also improves the fixation of the cap 1 on the head of the corresponding athlete.
