The instant invention known as “H.A.L.O. HYBIRD”™ is an amusing multipurpose hand tool primarily used to manipulate fluid mass and multitask secondary related and unrelated natural and synthetic matter.

The H.A.L.O. HYBIRD™ device, (Fig. AOK) comprising a generally flat, rounded planar member which is sufficiently sized to expand the surface area of a users hand, is provided with a primary powerface (FIGS. 9a &11a), a secondary powerface (FIGS. 9b &11b), a leading edge (FIGS. 9c &11c), a peripheral edge (FIG. 9d &11d), a trailing edge (FIGS. 9e &11e), a finger receiving aperture (FIGS. 9f &11f), a center balance point (FIGS. 9g &11g), a plurality of “optional” vortice producing apertures (FIGS. 9h &11h), an integrally formed gripping region (FIGS. 9i &11i), a hand receiving aperture bifurcating the peripheral edge (FIGS. 9j &11j), a plurality of apertures (FIGS. 9k &11k) facilitating a releasable hand securement means (FIGS. 5 &17) being threadably affixed therethrough, thereby facilitating methods by which a users hand is engagably installed into said device and therein bisected, simultaneously occupying space in, on and about said planar member (FIGS. 7, 8, 19 &20), whereby at least one finger is methodically passed through said finger receiving aperture and encouraged to work cooperatively with the thumb to multitask secondary matter (Fig. AOK).

A device for facilitating rapid movement beneath the surface of water is disclosed, having a hand held paddle for each hand, each paddle having an outboard tip and a tail, and a downward facing concave surface with a radius of curvature in a zone near the tip greater than the radius of curvature in a zone near the tail of each paddle.

A glove for biasing a user's hand into an optimal position for swimming. The glove having a body member with a thumb hole and closure flaps, four finger portions secured to the body member and a resilient member secured to the body member and extending across the four finger portions, wherein the resilient member in cooperation with the four finger portions reduces splaying of fingers during a swimming stroke, restricts balling of the hand when worn and restricts touching of the fingers when worn.

A swimming paddle with an upper rounded swimcap-shaped edge terminating in side indentations that define cap-securing temples, and a central goggle-securing notch cooperating with a concave region in the lower edge to store goggles vertically on the paddle. The paddle may further include fingerpad-indexing holes extending through the body of the paddle from the inner face to the outer face, the holes sized to allow only the fingerpads of a swimmer's extended fingers to partially protrude from the inner face. A method for custom fitting a swimming paddle to a particular swimmer's hand includes generating a side-by-side image of the swimmer's hand and a commonly-carried object such as a mobile phone in a common plane. The image is compared to stored dimensional data for the object to remotely determine the dimensions of the swimmer's hand and manufacture a custom paddle.

A hand cover apparatus with a tensioning mechanism that tensions a portion of the apparatus such that it is urged to retract to an open position, freeing a portion of the user's hand. Said system has one stationary piece and at least one additional piece that moves relative to it and can be triggered to free the hand by using only the hand to which it is mounted.

A glove structure. The structure includes a rubber pad fixed on extremities of the fingers of any conventional soft glove. The pad can turn a glove with separated fingers into a webbed glove. Apart from being very handy when carrying things or as a swimming-aid among other functions, the glove structure is particularly useful to prevent a scuba diver from injury when his fingers scrape against corals.

The purpose of the invention was to develop a training device that allows acquiring sense of water immediately after workouts with it.

The possible embodiment comprise an elastic or stretching material with gaseous medium between water and sportsman's palm and (or) forearm, and at least one valve. The embodiment allows to create the artificial gaseous medium at the inner side of human hand and/or forearm in water and to change its pressure and volume. The gaseous medium pressure and volume are set for a sportsman to change his psychosomatic sensations and lead to changes in mechanics and dynamics of the sportsman strokes in water.

The invention with gaseous medium assists swimmer to improve his ability to sense water. If pressure of gaseous medium is properly selected there is an effect of vanishing support during execution of strokes. The effect occurs due to properties of fluent gaseous medium in elastic/stretchy material. Shape of the gaseous medium is very responsive to propulsive forces during underwater part of a stroke. The gaseous medium deformations by water streams/flows cause feedback to swimmer hand, arm, and brain about applied forces. Interactive perception of water through the vanishing gas support assists swimmer to find right mechanics and dynamics of strokes that correspond with the current factors influencing swimming. In other words the device assists in development of human physical qualities required for increase in efficiency of applying hand's (or arm's) force during underwater part of strokes. A sportsman recalls the developed mechanics and dynamics right after workout with the device and its doffing.

A finger web swimming aid embodying fingerstalls and web membranes molded to form one integral body therefrom, and wherein the web membranes are connected between side walls of each of the fingerstalls. The fingerstalls provide ends of each of tubular members allow for the first joint of each of the user's fingers to expose therefrom. Ribbed edges are configured on outer edges of each of the web membranes, which enhance strength and allow for easy removal thereof. Furthermore, a plurality of grooves are further defined on surfaces of each of the web membranes, and which provide the web membranes with a moderate degree of concavity, and functions in coordination with flexing of the fingers of the user. In particular, when necessary, easy removal of at least one finger of the three center fingers from the fingerstalls is effectuated, and which thereby facilitates manipulative movements therewith.

Hand-held paddle apparatuses are useful for moving a body through a fluid, such as water, and providing use of hands and fingers for other functions. Moreover, the hand-held paddle apparatuses are hinged to reduce the surface area interacting with the fluid when the paddle apparatuses move in one direction, and to open to increase the surface area interacting with the fluid in an opposite direction.

A six-webbed glove has a main body, four middle webs, two outer webs, two finger-supporting boards and an arm-supporting board. The main body has a palm segment, five finger segments and an arm segment. The finger segments and the arm segment are mounted on two opposite ends of the main body. The middle webs are respectively mounted between every two adjacent finger segments. The two outer webs are mounted on two opposite sides of the main body and connected to the palm segment and the arm segment along a contour of the main body. The finger-supporting boards and the arm-supporting board are respectively mounted inside the finger segments and the arm segment, and are capable of maintaining the shape of the finger segments and the arm segment.
