Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a flipper, and more particularly to a flipper specifically for frogs. Background Technology

[0002] Most fins on the market are designed for freestyle swimming. Freestyle fins increase the resistance when swimmers kick their legs up and down, allowing freestyle swimmers and divers to swim faster in the water. However, they are not very effective for breaststroke swimmers.

[0003] The swimming style of breaststroke swimmers involves repeatedly pulling and kicking their legs in the water, propelling themselves forward by pushing the water with their feet. However, the structure of the human foot is not flat. When kicking, water flows out through the crevices in the foot, resulting in insufficient thrust and making breaststroke swimmers slower.

[0004] Therefore, proposing a better improvement plan is an urgent problem that the industry needs to solve. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a special fin for frog swimming, which solves the problem that the human foot is not flat, and water flows out from the concave gaps of the foot when kicking, resulting in insufficient thrust and slow swimming speed for frog swimmers.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a frog-specific flipper, which has the following characteristics:

[0007] A shoe body, which has a sole;

[0008] At least one bottom frame extends from the bottom surface of the shoe body in a direction away from the shoe body; the wall thickness of the bottom frame gradually decreases as it moves away from the bottom surface.

[0009] At least one accommodating space is provided in the at least one bottom frame.

[0010] As described above, the fins are designed for frogs, and at least one base frame surrounds the bottom surface.

[0011] As described above, the fins are specifically designed for frogs, wherein the base frame extends from the bottom surface in lengths ranging from 0.5 inches to 5 inches.

[0012] As described above, the angle between the outer surface of the at least one base frame and the bottom surface of the shoe body is 90 to 120 degrees.

[0013] As described above, the fins for frogs are made as a single piece, wherein the shoe body and the at least one bottom frame are integrally formed.

[0014] The advantage of this invention lies in the bottom frame of the shoe, which creates a storage space. When a breaststroke swimmer kicks, the water is confined within this space and does not flow out of the bottom frame, thus enhancing the thrust of the swimmer's kick and accelerating forward in the water, increasing the enjoyment of swimming.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This utility model proposes a special flipper for frogs, which has a shoe body 10, at least one bottom frame 20 and at least one accommodating space 30.

[0021] The shoe body 10 can be fitted onto the user's foot, and the shoe body 10 has a bottom surface 11. A bottom frame 20 extends from the bottom surface 11 of the shoe body 10 in a direction away from the shoe body 10. In this embodiment, the bottom frame 20 surrounds the bottom surface 11; specifically, the bottom frame 20 can be provided along the edge of the bottom surface 11. In this embodiment, the frog-style fin has a bottom frame 20. In other embodiments, the number of bottom frames 20 is not limited, and several bottom frames 20 can together form a frame group surrounding the bottom surface 11 of the shoe body 10. A receiving space 30 is provided in the bottom frame 20.

[0022] In this embodiment, the wall thickness of the bottom frame 20 gradually decreases as it moves away from the bottom surface 11 of the shoe body 10, thereby reducing the weight of the fins specifically designed for finning. In this embodiment, the length of the bottom frame 20 extending from the bottom surface 11 of the shoe body 10 is 0.5 inches to 5 inches (inclusive), and the angle between the outer surface of the bottom frame 20 and the bottom surface 11 of the shoe body 10 is 90 degrees to 120 degrees. Preferably, the angle between the outer surface of the bottom frame 20 and the bottom surface 11 of the shoe body 10 is 90 degrees. In other embodiments, the length of the bottom frame 20 extending from the bottom surface 11 of the shoe body 10 and the angle between the outer surface of the bottom frame 20 and the bottom surface 11 of the shoe body 10 are not limited to these and can be adjusted according to the usage.

[0023] In this embodiment, the shoe body 10 and the bottom frame 20 are integrally formed. In other embodiments, the combination method of the shoe body 10 and the bottom frame 20 is not limited to this. The material of the frog-specific fins includes any or a combination of rubber, plastic, and silicone, preferably, the material of the frog-specific fins is rubber.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 Users can wear the frog-style fins of this invention. When the user swims breaststroke and kicks, the water is confined within the containment space 30 surrounded by the bottom frame 20, preventing it from flowing out from the sides of the bottom frame 20. This allows the user to feel the propulsion of the water more effectively when kicking, thus increasing the flow rate. Furthermore, due to the material limitations of the frog-style fins, the bottom frame 20 tilts away from the body during swimming, increasing the containment space 30 and further enhancing the propulsion force of the breaststroke swimmer during kicking.

[0025] The advantage of this invention is that a bottom frame 20 is provided at the bottom of the shoe body 10, which can surround the accommodating space 30. When the breaststroke swimmer kicks, the water is confined in the accommodating space 30 and will not flow out of the bottom frame 20, thereby enhancing the thrust of the breaststroke swimmer when kicking, thus accelerating forward in the water and increasing the enjoyment of swimming.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model's technical solution. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the content of the present utility model's technical solution shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model's technical solution.
