Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of sporting goods, and in particular to a buoyancy vest with traction straps. Background Technology

[0002] Current infant swimming aids suffer from significant deficiencies in terms of safety and interactivity. Traditional designs employ fixed buoyancy structures, which struggle to provide stable dynamic support when infants float independently, leading to potential imbalances. Furthermore, when assisted by a guardian, the lack of a reliable force-bearing connection mechanism poses a risk of loss of control. Particularly concerning is the passive protection mode of existing products, which severely restricts interactive teaching effectiveness—guardians can only passively follow, unable to actively guide or intervene through a secure connection system. This design contradiction means the products fail to meet the needs of infants' independent exploration while limiting the guardian's involvement in teaching. Even more seriously, the rudimentary connection structure can generate uncontrollable pulling forces in unexpected situations, threatening both infant safety and the user experience.

[0027] To better understand the technical solution and beneficial effects of this application, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This invention relates to a buoyancy vest 10 with a traction strap, comprising a vest body 100, a head support 200, and a traction strap 300. The vest body 100 includes a back panel 110, a left front panel 120, a right front panel 130, and a zipper connecting assembly 140. The left front panel 120 and the right front panel 130 are connected by the zipper connecting assembly 140. The zipper connecting assembly 140 includes two chain teeth 141 and a zipper pull 142. The two chain teeth 141 are respectively arranged along opposite sides of the left front panel 120 and the right front panel 130. One side of the lower part of the back panel 110 is connected to the side of the left front panel 120 away from the chain teeth 141, and one side of the lower part of the back panel 110 is connected to the side of the right front panel 130 away from the chain teeth 141. A head support 200 is disposed at one end of the rear panel 110, and the upper parts of the left front panel 120 and the right front panel 130 are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the head support 200. One end of the traction strap 300 is fixedly connected to the side of the rear panel 110 opposite to the left front panel 120 and the right front panel 130, and the other end of the traction strap 300 is fixedly connected to the corresponding right front panel 130.

[0029] In this embodiment, the buoyancy vest 10 with traction straps, by providing traction straps 300 on the vest body 100, allows the companion to restrict and pull the relative position of the user, improving the safety and interactivity of the buoyancy vest 10. Simultaneously, the buoyancy vest 10 with traction straps provides buoyancy support by providing a head support 200, maintaining the user's head's exit angle from the water, reducing neck muscle burden, and preventing the head from tilting back and causing choking, further enhancing the safety of the buoyancy vest 10. Furthermore, the right front panel of the vest body 100 is closable via a zipper connection assembly 140, facilitating quick donning and doffing. The vest body 100 and the head support 200 are fixedly connected as a single unit, reducing detachable parts, simplifying the donning process, and preventing the loss of accessories.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a handle 210 is provided at the end of the head support 200 away from the vest body 100. It can be understood that the handle 210 on the top of the head support 200 is convenient for gripping and carrying, which is convenient for daily carrying and transfer, and can also help to guide the user's position in water.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the vest body 100 is also provided with a Velcro assembly 150, please refer to the following: Figure 2The Velcro assembly 150 includes a male adhesive strip 151 and a female adhesive strip 152. The male and female adhesive strips 151 and 152 are respectively positioned along opposite sides of the left front panel 120 and the right front panel 130, and are located outside the corresponding zipper teeth 141, with their adhesive surfaces facing each other. Specifically, after the zipper pull 142 is pulled to its limit, it is placed between the male and female adhesive strips 151 and 152, using the mutual adhesion of the male and female adhesive strips 151 and 152 to fix the zipper pull 142 in place, preventing the user from accidentally opening the zipper assembly 140 and causing the vest body 100 to open. Simultaneously, it prevents interference or accidental snagging caused by the zipper pull 142 swinging freely.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the traction strap 300 includes a fixing strap 310 and an adjustable connecting strap 320. One end of the fixing strap 310 is fixed to the lower part of the right front panel 130, and the other end of the fixing strap 310 is provided with a first connecting seat 311. One end of the adjustable connecting strap 320 is fixed to the lower part of the back panel 110, and the other end of the adjustable connecting strap 320 is provided with a first connecting head 321, which is fastened to the first connecting seat 321. It can be understood that the two ends of the traction strap 300 are fixed to the back panel 110 and the right front panel 130 of the vest body 100 respectively, facilitating traction and gripping. At the same time, it avoids unilateral tension causing the vest body 100 to shift or even twist, improving the safety of the buoyancy vest 10 with the traction strap. Furthermore, the fixing strap fixes the first connecting seat to the right front panel 130, so that the first connecting head 311 and the first connecting seat 321 are fastened at the lower part of the right front panel 130, which facilitates connection and improves wearing comfort.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first connector 311 has an adjustment hole (not shown in the figure), one end of the traction belt 300 passes through the adjustment hole, and the connection position between the traction belt 300 and the first connector 311 is adjustable. By adjusting the connection position between the traction belt 300 and the first connector 311, the length of the traction belt 300 can be adjusted to adapt to different usage needs and improve the adaptability of the buoyancy vest 10 with the traction belt.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the buoyancy vest 10 with a traction strap also includes a grip portion 330, which is slidably sleeved on the traction strap 300. Specifically, in this embodiment, the grip portion 330 is a sleeve design, with a flexible material covering one section of the connecting strap to form a freely sliding grip ring, which can adjust the grip position as needed and improve the comfort and stability of the grip.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the vest body 100 further includes a waist connecting strap 160, which is wrapped around the vest body 100. The two ends of the waist connecting strap 160 are respectively provided with interlocking second connecting seats 161 and second connecting heads 162. A portion of the waist connecting strap 160 is fixedly connected to the right front panel 130. It can be understood that the waist connecting strap 160 wraps around the waist of the vest body 100, further securing the position of the buoyancy vest 10 with the traction strap, preventing the buoyancy vest 10 with the traction strap from shifting under the impact of water flow during use, and improving the safety and stability of the buoyancy vest 10 with the traction strap. Furthermore, the fixed connection of a portion of the waist connecting strap 160 to the right front panel 130 reduces detachable parts, simplifies the wearing process, and prevents the waist connecting strap 160 from being lost.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second connecting seat 161 is located at the end where the waist connecting strap 160 is fixed to the right front piece 130. The second connecting head 162 has an adjustment hole (not shown). The end of the waist connecting strap 160 away from the fixed end passes through the adjustment hole, and the connection position between the waist connecting strap 160 and the second connecting head 162 is adjustable. By adjusting the position of the second connecting head 162, the effective length of the waist connecting strap 160 is adjusted to accommodate different user circumferences. This improves the adaptability of the buoyancy vest 10 with traction straps.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the vest body 100 further includes a limiting member 170, which is fixedly connected to the corresponding left front piece 120. A first through hole (not shown) is formed in the middle of the limiting member 170, through which the waist connecting strap 160 passes. Specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting member 170 is located on the side of the left front piece 120 facing away from the rear piece 110. Both ends of the limiting member 170 are fixedly connected to the left front piece 120, forming the first through hole in the middle. The waist connecting strap 160 passes through the first through hole, thereby limiting the position of the waist connecting strap 160 and preventing the waist connecting strap 160 from coming off the vest body 100 during use, thus improving the stability and safety of the buoyancy vest 10 with the traction strap.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a second through hole (not shown) is formed at the connection between the traction strap 300 and the back piece 110, through which the waist connecting strap 460 passes. Specifically, in this embodiment, two connecting portions 301 are formed at the end where the traction strap 300 connects to the back piece 110, and a second through hole is formed between the two connecting portions 301. The waist connecting strap 460 passes through the second through hole, further restricting the position of the waist connecting strap 160, preventing the waist connecting strap 160 from affecting the user's activities, and improving the stability and safety of the buoyancy vest 10 with the traction strap.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following advantages:

[0040] 1. The aforementioned buoyancy vest with traction straps, by setting traction straps on the main body of the vest, allows the accompanying person to restrict and pull the relative position of the user through the traction straps, thereby improving the safety and interactivity of the buoyancy vest with traction straps.

[0041] 2. Buoyancy vests with traction straps provide buoyancy support by setting a head support section, maintaining the user's head out of the water angle, reducing the burden on neck muscles, and preventing the head from tilting back and causing choking, thus further improving the safety of buoyancy vests with traction straps.

[0042] 3. The right front panel of the vest body can be opened and closed via a zipper connection assembly, facilitating quick and easy donning and doffing. The vest body and head support are fixedly connected as a single unit, reducing detachable parts, simplifying the donning process, and preventing the loss of accessories.

[0043] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the disclosed patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
