Energy-Saving Mode of Freely Staying in Water

Abstract

The present inventions relates to the field of human activities involving staying in water, in particular, in immobile or immobilized states. The claimed technical result reduces to ensuring highly stable staying at the surface of deep water, in particular, under conditions of considerable water surface roughness. According to the proposed invention, the face is turned up, the head is straightened, the legs are flexed, the arms are drawn aside and turned outside, and the forearms are flexed. Alternatively, the arms are straightened and the thighs are flexed or the arms are flexed and the thighs are straightened. Some distinctive features are related to additional technical means, which facilitate realization of the present invention.

 (i) arms are drawn aside and turned out by angles from 60 to 160° and from 30 to 100°, respectively, and forearms are flexed by angles from 60 to 160°, or   (ii) arms are straightened out by angles from 170 to 210° and the thighs are flexed, or   (iii) arms are flexed by angles from 10 to 90° and the hips are straightened.   
   
   
       2 . The mode according to  claim 1 , wherein the thighs are the thighs are flexed by angles from 20 to 170°. 
   
   
       3 . The mode according to  claim 1 , wherein the thighs are straightened by angles from 5 to 30°. 
   
   
       4 . The mode according to  claim 1 , wherein the arms are flexed and a spinal column is straightened. 
   
   
       5 . The mode according to  claim 1 , wherein the arms are straightened and a spinal column is flexed. 
   
   
       6 . The mode according to  claim 4 , wherein the spinal column is flexed by an angle up to 60°. 
   
   
       7 . The mode according to  claim 4 , wherein the spinal column is straightened by an angle up to 45°. 
   
   
       8 . The mode according to  claim 4 , wherein the arms are flexed until the forearms are parallel to the water surface to within ±20°. 
   
   
       9 . The mode according to  claim 2 , wherein the thighs are flexed and drawn aside by angles from 5 to 45°. 
   
   
       10 . The mode according to  claim 5 , wherein the arms are flexed so that fingers touch distal parts of legs or regions of ankle joints. 
   
   
       11 . The mode according to  claim 10 , wherein the arms are flexed so that the fingers clasp the distal parts of legs or the regions of ankle joints. 
   
   
       12 . The mode according to  claim 5 , wherein the arms are flexed until they are perpendicular to the water surface to within ±30°. 
   
   
       13 . The mode according to  claim 1 , wherein an effort necessary to perform or maintain the flexing or straightening is reduced with the aid of an auxiliary device. 
   
   
       14 . The mode according to  claim 13 , wherein maintain the flexing or straightening is performed with elastic deformation of the auxiliary device. 
   
   
       15 . The mode according to  claim 13 , wherein the auxiliary device is attached to distal parts of legs or regions of ankle joints, or feet, and fingers are bent so that hands clasp a part or parts of the device. 
   
   
       16 . The mode according to  claim 1 , wherein the head is straightened until the face is parallel to the water surface to within ±20°. 
   
   
       17 . The mode according to  claim 1 , wherein respiration is performed via a nose occurring above the water surface. 
   
   
       18 . The mode according to  claim 17 , wherein maximum acceptable expiration is followed by shallow breathing. 
   
   
       19 . The mode according to  claim 1 , wherein respiration is performed via mouth using a snorkel. 
   
   
       20 . The mode according to  claim 19 , wherein admission of water to a respiratory tract is eliminated. 
   
   
       21 . The mode according to  claim 20 , wherein expiration is blocked when water occurs in the snorkel. 
   
   
       22 . The mode according to  claim 1 , wherein special nose clamps are used to prevent admission of water into a nasal tract. 
   
   
       23 . The mode according to  claim 1 , wherein mutual orientation of the head and/or extremities relative to the body or relative to each other is changed over a period of time involving from one to ten respiratory movements so as to stabilize the body position in water, after which the established stable position of the body is maintained for a long period of time. 
   
   
       24 . The mode according to  claim 7 , wherein the arms are flexed until they are perpendicular to the water surface to within ±30°. 
   
   
       25 . The mode according to  claim 11 , wherein the arms are flexed until they are perpendicular to the water surface to within ±30°. 
   
   
       26 . The mode according to  claim 14 , wherein the auxiliary device is attached to distal parts of legs or regions of ankle joints, or feet, and fingers are bent so that hands clasp a part or parts of the device.
