Abstract
A modified kickboard floatation device having a body which includes a distal portion and a proximal portion. The distal portion includes a pair of mirror image handles which are each positioned adjacent to an edge of the body and distal aperture which passes through the body. The proximal portion includes a pair of elongated longitudinal members which each extend from the distal portion in parallel with one another and are intersected by an elongated cross member. In this regard, the cross member extends both between the longitudinal members and outwardly beyond them so as to extend out from both sides of the body.
Claims14
A floatation device, comprising:
- a device body having a distal portion, a proximal portion, and an open area surrounded by the distal portion and proximal portion, wherein the distal portion is defined by a transverse member and the proximal portion includes a pair of elongated longitudinal members oriented in parallel with one another and which each extend from one side of the transverse member as well as an elongated cross member which is oriented orthogonally relative to the longitudinal members;
- wherein the distal portion includes a pair of handles and the distal portion is configured to be grasped by a user whose body is positioned on the proximal portion through the pair of handles;
- and
- wherein the proximal portion is configured to supply buoyancy under the body of the user grasping the distal portion over an area which is both shorter than the length of the longitudinal members and wider than the widest part of the distal portion.
A floatation device, comprising:
- a device body having a distal portion, a proximal portion, and an open area surrounded by the distal portion and proximal portion, wherein the distal portion is defined by a transverse member positioned adjacent to a curved distal edge on the distal portion and the proximal portion includes a pair of elongated longitudinal members oriented in parallel with one another and which each extend from one side of the transverse member as well as an elongated cross member which is oriented orthogonally relative to the longitudinal members;
- wherein the device body is constructed of a base material that is buoyant and coated with a waterproof substance and the distal portion and the proximal portion together have a general U-shape;
- wherein the distal portion includes a pair of handles and the distal portion is configured to be grasped by a user whose body is positioned on the proximal portion;
- and
- wherein the proximal portion is configured to supply buoyancy under the body of the user grasping the distal portion over an area which is both shorter than the length of the longitudinal members and wider than the widest part of the distal portion.
