Construction arrangement applied to a mobile walkway with non-slip flooring and handrails for use inside a swimming pool.

Description

- The following descriptive report of a utility model patent refers to the development of a constructive arrangement applied to a mobile walkway with non-slip flooring and handrails for use inside a swimming pool, referring to a component designed for the field of application focused on protection and safety for exercise and leisure, especially for senior citizens or those with some motor difficulty, whose objective is to allow these people to enjoy and exercise safely, avoiding falls due to imbalance. State of the art - Safety devices designed for functional activities aimed at the health and well-being of people with restricted mobility. Specifically, in activities performed in swimming pools, there is an even greater need due to the high degree of danger if there is no heightened professional attention and, fundamentally, adequate physical support for performing physical exercises. In research conducted using the INPI database, we found some patent applications, which we will illustrate below: - On August 7, 2006, patent MU 8601543-5 was requested, entitled "Recessed Edge for Swimming Pool," referring to a new recessed edge for swimming pools, with construction angles, which solves installation problems, cracks in the structure, among others. It comprises a monobloc body with folds and contours that form a P-profile, which will be the shape of the intended contour to be applied as the edge for swimming pools, formed by a variable vertical wall with a curved horizontal flat top, with Petition 870250058795, dated 10 / 07 / 2025, page 4 / 13 / 6 rear fold of the smaller wall with fold and recess with lock. - On January 26, 2010, patent PI 1000236-7 was filed, entitled "MOVABLE SWIMMING POOL FLOOR," referring to a device comprising a fiberglass base with 4mm diameter holes along its entire length, supported on a tubular PVC base and leveled by four or more rods positioned at the ends of the pool, through which the floor height is regulated. The floor allows for height adjustment of the pool, making the same area usable by adults and children of any age, simply by adjusting the movable floor in relation to the water level. In this way, the environment becomes more comfortable and safe for the whole family to enjoy. The floor level adjustment is carried out by activating a water pump that injects water from the pool itself into the tubular base of the floor, causing it to sink and increasing the depth of the pool. Counterweights assist in accelerating the descent of the base.When the desired depth is reached, the pump is switched off and pins placed on the support rods are activated to maintain leveling. - On November 7, 2011, patent application BR 11 2013 011408 8 was filed, entitled MOBILE SUPPORT FOR THE ENDS OF MOVABLE SWIMMING POOL WALLS, whose invention relates to a mobile device for the ends of swimming pool walls, which aims to divide them into separate spaces of different sizes to develop different activities and make better use of the space, and which basically comprises four wheels driven by a mechanism based on a set of pulleys with tensioning devices and connected to each other by belts, which comprises at the top a reduction pulley, which in turn is connected at the bottom to a set of reduction pulleys, which in turn are connected to both pulleys. Petition 870250058795, dated 10 / 07 / 2025, p. 5 / 13 / 6 joints of the wheel axles, where the wheel assembly, pulleys and tensioning devices are installed on a base structure and the drive pulley, the reduction pulley assembly, and its tensioning device are installed in a housing coupled onto the base structure. - On December 5, 2018, patent application BR 20 2018 075189 7 was filed, entitled REMOVABLE DEVICE FOR ACHIEVING ANTI-SLIP IN POOL LADDERS, and the present invention falls within the technical domain of removable accessories for pool ladders. The invention aims to achieve anti-slip of existing steps in already installed pool ladders by reusing the original step. The device allows achieving anti-slip of pool ladders with side handrails connected by the steps; and comprises, at least, a false cover with fixing means on an existing step, and which in its upper part comprises an anti-slip relief, the cover being materialized in a monobloc piece of general section in the shape of an inverted U in which the fixing means are integrated. These fixing means comprise clamps with projections arranged on the lateral branches of the monobloc piece with an inverted U-shaped section and directed inwards. - On July 10, 2019, patent application BR 20 2019 014255 9 was filed, entitled "CONSTRUCTIVE ARRANGEMENT IN SUPPORT PLATFORMS FOR THE PRACTICE OF BALANCE ACTIVITY ON A SLACKLINE IN SWIMMING POOLS," referring to a kit for practicing balance activities such as slacklining or similar activities, more precisely to be placed over masonry pools or other similar materials, lakes, among others, by the user; said kit, installed on the edges of pools or similar areas, comprises a pair of Petition 870250058795, dated 10 / 07 / 2025, page 6 / 13 / 6 support platforms made of stainless steel or other similar material to be installed opposite each other in relation to the edge of a swimming pool for anchoring the other elements of the kit, namely: I) balance strap for user passage provided with an eyelet for anchoring to one of the support platforms; II) ratchet equipped with a tail with an eyelet; and III) waterproof ratchet protector, for practicing balance activities ( / at), Finally, on February 26, 1997, patent MU 7700180-0 was filed, entitled FLOAT FOR ASSEMBLING LEISURE ACCESSORIES IN SWIMMING POOLS, referring to a floating element comprising a central part vertically traversed by a long tubular rod that, at its lower end, has a ballast fixed, of the blown plastic type, as if it were a jug, but filled with a heavy material, such as sand or similar, and, for this purpose, it has a neck where the corresponding end of said tubular rod fits, whose upper end receives a complementary mounting piece for fitting a circular tray and the lower end of a parasol, thus completing the configuration of a pair; however, the same set defined by the float, rod and ballast, serves for assembling other aquatic accessories, defined as: basketball game set, volleyball game set and ball centering set. That being said, the inventive concepts proposed by the development now being proposed have not been found in any of the aforementioned patents. Proposed development Due to considerations relevant to the state of the art, the present application concerns the development of the constructive arrangement applied in Petition 870250058795, dated 10 / 07 / 2025, page 7 / 13 / 6 mobile walkway with non-slip flooring and handrails for use inside a swimming pool, whose objective is to allow people to enjoy and exercise inside the pool safely, avoiding falls due to imbalance. The equipment in question has a structure placed at the bottom of the pool; however, this structure is not fixed, as it remains stable due to its weight. The walkway is placed in the pool when performing any exercise, and can be removed whenever desired, as well as moved to any point in the pool, choosing the deeper or shallower area, according to the person's height. Figure Description - The characterization of the utility model patent application now proposed is made by means of a representative drawing of the constructive arrangement applied to a mobile walkway with non-slip flooring and handrails for use inside a swimming pool, in such a way that the object can be reproduced by appropriate technology, allowing full characterization of the functionality of the object claimed. - Based on the elaborated figure, which expresses the best or preferred way to implement the device now conceived, the descriptive part of the report is based on a detailed and consecutive numbering, which clarifies aspects that may be implied by the adopted representation, in order to clearly determine the protection now sought. This figure is merely illustrative and may present variations, provided they do not deviate from the principle initially claimed. In this case, we have to: Figure 1 presents a perspective view of the proposed utility model, clearly showing all its parts.
