Definitions
- the present invention concerns a device for the automatic adjusting, according to the pressure, of the length of the connection rope between a buoy and a skin-diver.
- the present invention takes its origin from the need to take the exact position of skin-divers with repect to the floating indicator buoy, so as to reduce the dangers deriving from incidents caused by arriving floating means.
- connection rope between said buoy and the skin-diver has always the same length, thus representing only the limit of the reciprocal distance.
- the device for unwinding the rope may be provided, according to the present invention, in correspondence with the buoy, and in that case the connection with the pressure sensor is realized with an acoustic emitter, of the sonar kind, or by means of an electrical connection obtained inside said rope, or said device - in a possible variant - may be carried by the skin-diver, may be applied to the spear gun or in any other place.
- the figures show a device for the automatic adjusting, according to the pressure, of the length of the connection rope between a buoy and a skin-diver, of the kind that can be inserted during the realization into floating buoys B of new kind, or also applied to the lower ring of already existing buoys B, comprising:
- the device comprises, beyond the already mentioned details, an electric battery BA, a counter 9 of the revolutions of the motor 3 and a circuit 10 for the comparation between the depth and the revolution number so that the values of the hydrostatic pressure taken by the sensor 6 are translated, in real time, into the winding or unwinding of predetermined lengths of the rope C.
- said pressure sensor 6, through the transducer 7, sends an electric impulse which, passing through the cable 8, reaches the motor 3 connected to the buoy B, thus determining the winding or unwinding of the rope C, according to the taken pressure.

Claims (4)
- Automatische Vorrictung, zur Regulierung der Länge des Verbindungstaues zwischen Boe und Taucher durch Druck, gekennzeichnet durch:- einen Auf- und Abwicklungsmechanismus des Taues (C), der dazu geeignet ist, auf Grund der Werte des hydrostatischen Druckes die vom Empfänger (2) aufgenommen werden, Taulänge zu liefern, wobei der Empfänger in eine Uhr eingebaut oder andersartig mit dem Taucher verbunden ist;- einen elektrischen Motor (3) oder einen anderen Motor zur Betätigung des Mechanismus (1);- einen Druckempfänger (6) um den Tiefenwert, den der Taucher erreicht hat, in hydrostatische Druckwerte umzuwandeln;- einen Sender (4) akustischer Wellen, um die Informationen, die vom Druckempfänger (6) kommen, weiterzuleiten;- einen akustischen Empfänger (5) zur Aufnahme, durch die Flüssigkeit, der Wellen, die vom Sender (4) kommen, der fest mit dem Taucher verbunden ist.
- Vorrichtung nach Anspuch 1, gekennzeichnet durch eine elektrische Batterie (BA), einen Umdrehungszähler (9) des elektrisken Motors (3) und einen Vergleicher (10) zwischen der Tiefe und der Zahl der Umdrehungen, und zwar derart, dass die Werte des hydrostatischen Druckes, die vom Empfänger (6) aufgenommen werden, in effektiver Zeit in das Auf- und Abrollen von vorbestimmten Taulängen umgewandelt werden.
- Vorrichtung nach Anspuch 1, derart ausgeführt, dass sie mit elektrischer Ubertragung der gemessenen Werte vom Druckempfänger (6) zum Motor (3) versehen ist, gekennzeichnet durch das Vorhandensein eines elektrischen Kabels (8), das in das Tau eingearbeitet ist.
- Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass alle Bestandteile mit dem Taucher oder seinen Instrumenten verbunden sind, und dass Tau (C) fest mit einem Ende der Boe (B) verbunden ist und sich am anderen Ende auf Grund des Untertauchens in die Tiefe abwickelt.
