Abstract

A floating track used for holding competitions and other sporting events with aquatic vehicles, mainly water karts, comprising, a floating barrier that defines and delimits the layout of the track on the surface of the water, made up from the successive connection of a multitude of floating modular parts that are coupled together, having an elongated elliptic shape and have, on their respective short ends some perforations aligned so that by ensuring the overlapping of a first end of a part with a contiguous second end of another part, these perforations fit together, with the possibility of being assembled and dismantled with different layouts as required in each case.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A floating track used for holding competitions and other sporting events with aquatic vehicles, mainly water karts, comprising,
 a floating barrier that defines and delimits the layout of the track on the surface of the water, made up of two parallel walls, one interior and the other exterior, made from the successive connection of a multitude of floating modular parts that are coupled together with the possibility of being assembled and dismantled with different layouts as required in each case.   
     
     
         2 . The floating track according to  claim 1 , wherein the modular parts have an elongated elliptic shape and have, on their respective short ends some perforations aligned so that by ensuring the overlapping of a first end of a part with a contiguous second end of another part, these perforations fit together, allowing the insertion of an anchor shaft that ensures their mutual coupling, so that multiple parts can be connected successively until forming one side or the other of the wall of the layout of the floating circuit as has been planned. 
     
     
         3 . The floating track according to  claim 2 , wherein the short end of each modular part has two perforations aligned on the longitudinal shaft of the part, in a way that if both perforations are fastened, the connection is fixed and if only one perforation is fastened, it can present a certain degree of lateral rotating movement towards one side or the other between the contiguous parts. 
     
     
         4 . The floating track according to  claim 2 , wherein both ends of each modular part are designed to fit together respectively in a male-female connection. 
     
     
         5 . The floating track according to  claim 4 , wherein of the short ends of the modular pieces a first end presents a recess that defines a central section of lesser thickness than the rest of the part, and a second end presents a central groove of such a dimension that the central section of the first part fits tightly into it. 
     
     
         6 . The floating track according to  claim 1 , wherein to form the track there are long modular pieces that are incorporated in the straight sections of the layout, and short modular pieces that are incorporated in the curved sections of the layout. 
     
     
         7 . The floating track according to  claim 6 , wherein the long modular pieces are between 3.5-5 meters in length and the short modular pieces are between 0.5-2 meters in length. 
     
     
         8 . The floating track according to  claim 1 , wherein the modular pieces of the floating barrier are manufactured in a plastic material. 
     
     
         9 . The floating track according to  claim 1 , wherein it includes arches pieces made out of semicircular metallic structures, to keep the lines of the interior and exterior sides of the floating demarcation barrier together. 
     
     
         10 . The floating track according to  claim 9 , wherein the arches are fastened at their ends between parallel parts of both sides of the barrier. 
     
     
         11 . The floating track according to  claim 9 , wherein the arches are fastened by their ends between parallel parts of both sides of the walls and an intermediate floating part provided for this purpose. 
     
     
         12 . The floating track according to  claims 9  to  11 , wherein the arches incorporate lights. 
     
     
         13 . The floating track according to  claim 12 , wherein the lights are made by a LED panel connected to the arch structure. 
     
     
         14 . The floating track according to  claim 1 , wherein the floating barriers have an alternation of colors. 
     
     
         15 . The floating track according to  claim 1 , wherein the alternation of colors red and white.
