Description

Antecedentes y Sumario de la Invención Background and Summary of the Invention

Es conocido por todos en general el hecho frecuente de las caídas accidentales que se producen cada temporada en las pistas de esquí o Snow park, Estas ubicaciones situadas normalmente en las faldas de las montañas a nivel de suelo, hacen que una gran parte de esas caídas accidentales resulten fatales para las personas que las padecen, sobre todo las que se originan a velocidades considerables al hacer Snow extremo. Adicionalmente, se trata de accidentes que pueden afectar por igual a personas de cualquier edad, expertas o inexpertas pero que sin embargo, en la práctica, son los más inexpertos quienes las padecen con mayor frecuencia. It is known by all in general the frequent fact of accidental falls that occur every season on the ski slopes or Snow park, These locations normally located on the slopes of the mountains at ground level, make a large part of those falls accidental ones are fatal for people who suffer from them, especially those that originate at considerable speeds when doing extreme snow. Additionally, these are accidents that can affect people of any age, experts or inexperienced alike, but which, in practice, are the most inexperienced who suffer most frequently.

Por ello, para evitar las consecuencias de este tipo de accidentes, sería considerable poder disponer de algún tipo de dispositivo o mecanismo capacitado para amortiguar la flexión horizontal de las rodillas en las caídas a gran velocidad, siendo así que la persona no padezca lesiones de gravedad. No se tiene conocimiento de la existencia en el estado anterior de la técnica de un dispositivo que haya sido diseñado específicamente para cumplir con esta funcionalidad. Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, la presente invención se ha propuesto como objetivo principal el desarrollo de un dispositivo, de actuación mecánica, capacitado para amortiguar horizontalmente en la caída de una persona, y flexionar de forma mecánica, en solo unos brevísimos instantes, para proteger las rodillas de la persona que cae, evitando que la persona se produzca algún tipo de lesión. Este objetivo ha sido plenamente alcanzado mediante el dispositivo que va a ser objeto de descripción en lo que sigue, cuyas características principales aparecen reunidas en la porción caracterizadora de la reivindicación l anexa.
Therefore, to avoid the consequences of such accidents, it would be considerable to be able to have some type of device or mechanism capable of cushioning the horizontal flexion of the knees in high-speed falls, so that the person does not suffer serious injuries . There is no knowledge of the existence in the prior art of a device that has been specifically designed to comply with this functionality. Taking into account the foregoing, the present invention has been proposed as the main objective the development of a device, of mechanical action, capable of cushioning horizontally in the fall of a person, and flexing mechanically, in just a very short time, to protect the knees of the person who falls, preventing the person from causing any type of injury. This objective has been fully achieved by means of the device that will be described in the following, whose main characteristics are gathered in the characterizing portion of the attached claim.

En esencia, el dispositivo de protección contra lesiones por caídas está diseñado en base a una estructura constituida por una plataforma de soporte o chasis previsto para ser anclado en la parte superior de una tabla de Snow board, a cada una de las cuales se encuentra vinculado un eje de acero inoxidable, que por el extremo superior tiene una rosca de paso fino que sujeta a su vez mediante una tuerca, una plataforma giratoria que horizontalmente en sentido rotatorio sobre su mismo eje esta anclado sin movimiento mediante dos muelles de acero con una resistencia variable mediante un tornillo regulador de presión que mediante la fuerte caída cede y se convierte en una plataforma giratoria flexible, suficientemente resistente para soportar la fuerza de flexión horizontal de la persona que cae y así minimizar el riesgo de lesiones de los ligamentos de las rodillas por fuerte torsion en el impacto en el suelo. In essence, the fall protection device is designed based on a structure consisting of a support platform or chassis intended to be anchored at the top of a snow board, to each of which is linked a stainless steel shaft, which at the top end has a fine pitch thread that, in turn, fastens with a nut, a rotating platform that horizontally rotatably on its same axis is anchored without movement by two steel springs with a resistance variable by means of a pressure regulating screw that by means of the strong fall yields and becomes a flexible rotating platform, sufficiently resistant to withstand the horizontal bending force of the person who falls and thus minimize the risk of injuries of the knee ligaments by strong torsion in impact on the ground.
