Patent

CA 2160374

A swim fin having differential stiffness is provided which includes shoe (12) and blade (14) portions, the shoe portion (12) being configured to receive a swimmer's foot (18) and the blade portion (14) being configured to provide the desired hydrodynamic effect. The shoe portion (12) defines a cavity (16) which is formed in part by a differential stiffness expanse (20) which overlies the forepart of the user's foot, The expanse (20) includes a resilient toe region (20a) which covers the swimmer's toes and a less resilient instep region (20b) which covers the instep of the swimmer's foot. The blade portion (14) extends from the shoe portion (12) and is operatively connected to the instep region (20b) so as to provide the wearer with instep-directed blade portion control.

L'invention concerne une palme pour la nage ayant des caractéristiques différentielles de rigidité, avec une partie (12) pour le pied et une partie (14) de palme, la partie (12) pour le pied étant conçue pour recevoir le pied (18) du nageur et la partie (14) de palme étant conçue pour apporter l'effet hydrodynamique souhaité. La partie (12) pour le pied comporte une cavité (16) qui est formée en partie par une longueur (20) de rigidité différentielle qui chevauche la partie avant du pied de l'utilisateur. La longueur (20) comporte une région élastique (20a) pour les orteils qui couvre les orteils du nageur et une région (20b) de cou-de-pied moins élastique qui couvre le cou-de-pied du nageur. La partie (14) de palme s'étend depuis la partie (12) de pied et elle est reliée à la région (20b) du cou-de-pied de manière que le nageur puisse contrôler la partie de palme depuis le cou-de-pied.
