    DESCRIPTION
    Device to monitor the position of a surfboard during learning. Object of the invention
    The invention consists of a watertight device, which placed in the front of the surfboard, or integrated in the board itself, serves to indicate to the user whether to move their weight forward or backward, with respect to the position on the board , by means of luminous and / or acoustic signals. The device continuously monitors the horizontality of the table and by means of arrow-shaped indicators (LED), indicate to the user how to correct its position in it.
    Background of the invention
    In surf schools a common problem arises, in the initiation phase when the student is starting to practice this sport since, among other steps, he must internalize a technique of distributing his weight on the board so that it maintains its horizontality In this initial learning, the teacher encourages the student to catch the wave, and once he stands up on the table it becomes difficult to communicate with the student to give him the precise indications so that he is placed in the correct position and distributes the weight adequately. If the student's weight is positioned too far forward, the tip of the board excessively enters the water and falls. On the contrary, if the weight is very far back, the rear part of the board exerts a lot of resistance acting as a brake, which causes the loss of the wave.
    Some simulators of the movement of a surfboard are known, similar to a mechanical bull, among them, JP2012245918 describes an auxiliary device that allows a surfing beginner to maintain the horizontal stability of the surfboard; For this, the surfboard is provided with an auxiliary device that includes a mechanism that generates a gyroscopic movement that moves the board unexpectedly, similar to a mechanical bull. TW200938262 also describes a balance training system during surfing, which uses a motor to control a horizontal exercise device and an oscillation device, capable of performing multiple movements such as

    vertical balancing, transverse tilt, and moves forward and backward, which simulate the movements in a surfing exercise.
    The document CN103007542 also describes a surf simulator, for this purpose it has a control system for a current of water on a sliding arc and on a diving platform, which are arranged sequentially trying to simulate a wave. This system allows to calculate optimal parameters for surfing.
    We have no knowledge of any means to monitor the position of a surfboard during learning, which makes unnecessary communication between teacher and student in this environment, in which the noise of the waves prevents all communication with the learner, once It separates from the monitor.
    Description of the invention
    The device to monitor the position of a surfboard during the learning of the present invention allows to solve this question, since it is the device itself that tells the student at all times if he has the board in horizontal position, or if he must move backward or forward to correct your ideal position.
    This device comprises an electronic circuit that includes an accelerometer and / or a gyroscope or other similar means suitable for determining the horizontality of the device, and a signaling means that is located in the front area of the upper face of the board that indicates to the surfer if his position is delayed or forward and consequently the tip of the board goes into the water excessively, or if on the contrary, if the weight is too far back, the back of the board exerts a lot of resistance acting as a brake.
    The whole of the device is structured in a small object that has a housing formed by two pieces that fit together by watertight means, enclosing inside the electronic circuit and a battery of feeding for the same, as well as the signaling means of the position of the surfer, which is visualized through the cover of this housing.

    In a preferential embodiment, this device also includes a base that is fixed to the table in the front area of the upper face, which is provided with a coupling mechanism and release of the housing suitable for keeping fixed in position is above the table during the practice of surfing and of being able to free it from its coupling in the aforementioned base fixed to the table, when it is required to charge or replace the power supply battery of the electronic circuit, or to save it when the device is not used. This mechanism consists of a circular cavity in which it has two diametrically opposed housings, in which two existing flanges fit into the base; At least one of these flanges is associated with a lateral plastic push button that has a spring that tends to keep the flange in the corresponding housing, but when pressing the button compresses the spring and thus releases the device from its coupling with the base.
    Said base has a substantially flat surface on the underside in which, by means of a double-sided self-adhesive strip, it is fixed on the front and on the upper side of the board.
    It is planned to provide the two pieces that form the housing with homologous and opposite means for the insertion between both pieces of a toric joint that ensures the tightness of the joint. Likewise, some fixing means are provided therebetween, consisting of a series of holes in the part corresponding to the cover in which they screw screws that are housed in a series of holes existing in the part that forms the support of the housing, facing in correspondence with the mentioned holes.
    In another alternative embodiment, the two pieces are sealed by a glue-fixing resin, so that once sealed they cannot be opened or handled. This option offers greater security guarantees and is probably cheaper.
    The lower part of the housing constitutes the support for the electronic circuit of the device and centrally has a cavity in which an inductive charging system of the power supply battery of the electronic circuit that integrates this device is housed. On the other hand, the cover of the housing has a waterproof on and off button of the device, which also allows its calibration by keeping it pressed with the table in horizontal position.

    The electronic circuit of the device comprises a controller that receives the signal of an accelerometer and / or of a gyro determining whether the plate is in horizontal position or not and, depending on this variable activates or deactivates a series of LED signals of the position of the board. Preferably, the group of LED signals are responsible for showing the correct or incorrect position of the table are mounted in such a way that on the upper face of the housing represents an arrow in the direction in which the apprentice must move to correct its position .
    The device is extremely simple to use, place and remove from the surfboard and is an essential complement to help correct the position of any surfing apprentice. In addition, its size and weight are minimal, so they neither interfere with surfing, nor the navigability of the board, nor does it pose any risk to the surfer since it is made of a plastic material, even softer than the board, and if hitting him will not receive a greater impact than if he does against it.
    Description of the figures
    To complement the description that is being made and in order to facilitate the understanding of the features of the invention, a set of drawings is attached to the present specification in which, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, the following has been represented:
    Figure 1 shows a schematic of the electronics of this monitoring device.
    Figure 2 shows a surfboard (2) that incorporates this device.
    Figure 3 is a figure similar to the previous one of a preferred embodiment of this device, comprising a base (13) that is fixed in the table and the device itself integrated in a housing (1) that is coupled and disengaged from the base (13) to recharge the battery, or simply to be able to take it independently of the table (2).

    Figures 4 and 5 show the upper part of the housing (11) of the device itself (1) in both top and bottom views.
    Figures 6 and 7 also show the same views viewed from above and below the bottom (12) of the device housing (1).
    Figure 8 represents a perspective view of the part (13) that is fixed in the table (2), in which the casing (1) of the device is fixed or removed.
    Preferred Embodiment of the Invention
    The object of the invention is to monitor if the weight of the surfer, when he is up on the board (2) in a real situation, that is, at sea trying to surf the waves, is positioned very forward and consequently the tip from the board it enters excessively in the water, which will probably cause its broth; or if on the contrary, if the weight is very far back, in which case the back of the board (2) exerts a lot of resistance acting as a brake, which will surely cause the loss of the wave. Optionally this device can alert both erroneous positions, or simply in the latter case, in which the user is positioned very far back, since it is the most common error and it is also capable of being controlled. The way to warn the surfer in a preferential embodiment is carried out by luminous means, being a group of LED signals responsible for showing on the top (11) of the housing (1) an arrow in the direction in which it must move to correct your position, or a color code that warns you if you are in the correct position or not; An acoustic warning could also be made, although it is likely to be less effective because of the environmental noise that exists in these types of environments.
    As can be seen in figures 2 and 3, the housing (1) that integrates this device can be easily removed from its base (13) when it is necessary to recharge the battery by inductive charging. In the version in which this device is integrated in the table (2) it would only be necessary to remove the battery, from a sealed cavity, for recharging. Throughout this description we will focus on the first embodiment since the existing surfboards (2) obviously lack a device of this nature integrated in them and the incorporation of a new device is not

    It is advisable to do it by practicing a hole in the body of the board since it will hardly be tight, well secured and without affecting the dynamics of the board (2), being preferable to place it fixed on the top of the board.
    The device comprises a housing (1) consisting of two parts: an upper part (11), as a cover, and a lower part (12) that forms the support for the electronic circuit that forms this device.
    In the cover (11) there is a waterproof button (111) used to turn on the device and calibrate it. At least a part of this cover (11) is transparent to allow to see the indicative LEDs in the form of an arrow when the device indicates a wrong position of the surfer. From the bottom (Fig. 5), this part (11) has a peripheral cavity (113) in which a toric joint is housed when it is screwed onto the other part (12), to ensure the tightness of the electronic components included inside. The fixing between the two pieces (11, 12) is secured by means of screws that are housed in the holes (122) and threaded into the holes (112) for anchoring.
    The lower part (12) of the housing of the device (1) has been shown in figures 6 and 7, in which the through holes (122) in the entire perimeter can be observed to accommodate the aforementioned clamping screws. Also this piece (12) has a peripheral channel (124) in which to house the toric joint that ensures the tightness in the joint between the pieces (11) and (12). As we have already indicated, this lower part (12) constitutes the electronic support of the device, for this purpose it has a circular cavity (121) in which the inductive charging system of the battery is housed and some lugs (123) with an inner hole in which the electronic board of this device is fixed.
    From the bottom plane, the part (12) presents the holes with pocket (122) in which the head of the screws that fix this piece is housed by threading it in the lid (11) and presents a coupling and quick release mechanism centrally the base (13), which is fixed on the table (2), to which it is attached while in use and separated to store it and / or charge the battery.
    The coupling mechanism between the device (1) and the base (13) consists of a circular cavity (125) in which two housings are observed (126)

    diametrically opposed, in which it fits two eyelashes (131, 132) existing in the base (13); of which at least one of them is associated with a plastic side button (133), associated with a spring that tends to keep the flange (132) in the corresponding housing (126), so that when pressing the button (133) It compresses the spring and thus releases the housing (1) from its coupling with the base (13).
    The base (13) has a similar diameter, or slightly smaller than the cavity (125) existing in the support piece (12). On the underside it has a flat surface in which, by means of a double-sided self-adhesive strip, it can easily be fixed at the front of the table (2), approximately in the position indicated in the figures.
    The electronics of the device consist of a controller that receives the signal of an accelerometer or gyro, which determines whether the plate is in horizontal position or not and, depending on this variable activates or deactivates a series of LED signals of the position of the table (2). This controller is powered from a battery that in the example shown in the figures includes a charger, which can be extralble if the device is manufactured integrated in a surfboard on the morning.
    A button (111) located accessible from outside the housing (11) allows the device to be switched on and off; also by pressing and holding this button with the table in a horizontal position, the device is calibrated very easily.
    Once the nature of the invention has been sufficiently described, as well as an example of preferred realization, it is stated to the appropriate effects that the materials, shape, size and arrangement of the described elements may be modified, provided that this does not imply an alteration of the essential characteristics of the invention that are claimed below:
