Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mask for aquatic dive with panoramic vision.
  • An aquatic diving mask usually has an opaque main body having a rear edge fitted with a seal intended to be applied against the face of the mask wearer and a front edge fitted with an attached flat transparent window tightly to the body.
  • the body and its window delimit thus an enclosure which, when the mask is applied against the face of its wearer, is protected from water.
  • the body is equipped, in the vicinity of its front edge, anchoring zones for the ends of a elastic strap intended to surround the rear part of the wearer's skull.
  • the main disadvantage of this kind of mask is that it does not allow a panoramic view, the angle of vision being limited by the opaque main body.
  • the enveloping lateral portion of the body of this mask being transparent, the viewing angle is not limited by it.
  • the porthole is flat, the vision through it is not distorted.
  • the vision through the lateral portion conical transparent body is deformed in water.
  • the object of the invention is to produce a mask panoramic vision aquatic diving of the aforementioned type, simple structure and avoiding as much as possible deformities of vision, especially laterally.
  • the lateral portion comprises two flat side faces.
  • the lateral portion also has upper faces and also flat.
  • each flat side face of the portion lateral form with the flat window an obtuse angle included between 105 ° and 110 °.
  • each flat side face forms with the flat window an angle of 108 ° precisely.
  • the two ends of the strap are fixed near the rear edge of the transparent body.
  • the lateral vision is thus in no way disturbed by ends of the strap, these being fixed to the edge back of the transparent body, i.e. behind eyes.
  • the ends of the strap are made in one piece with the seal sealing.
  • the manufacture of the seal and the strap, as well as their connections to the rear edge of the body, is thus particularly facilitated.
  • the seal is a balancing bellows, with or without a decompression nose, and it is made of translucent material. We thus improves adaptability to different morphologies, and in addition we increase the brightness inside of the mask.
  • the mask designated by the general reference 1, comprises a monobloc shell transparent 2 comprising an enveloping lateral portion 3 having a front edge 4 and a rear edge 5.
  • the shell 2 also includes a transparent flat porthole 6, the periphery is common with the front edge 4 of the portion lateral 3.
  • the lateral portion 3 of the mask has two planar side faces 3.1, of which one left side and one right side, each extending substantially vertically on one side of the flat window 6, and further here two upper and lower faces also planes 3.2.
  • Each flat side face 3.1 forms an angle obtuse ⁇ with the flat window 6.
  • This angle ⁇ is chosen for have very little disturbed vision.
  • the angle ⁇ will be essentially between 105 ° and 110 °.
  • the tests carried out by the applicant have highlighted a preferential value of 108 °, which gives a vision perfect in all directions.
  • Shell 2 is in one piece, and is preferably by injection, which avoids assembly manipulations of traditional masks.
  • this shell will thus be made of material injection molded plastic, e.g. polycarbonate or any other scratch-resistant material.
  • a such a shell provides the user with a truly vision panoramic, and with the minimum of deformations.
  • the rear edge 5 of the lateral portion 3 is also equipped with a seal 7 forming a balancing bellows.
  • the seal 7 comprises a front part 7.1 matching the rear edge 5 of the lateral portion 3 and a rear portion 7.2.
  • This bellows structure allows excellent adaptability to the shape of the user's face. We are thus assured that the seal is perfectly plated on the face of the user regardless of its morphology.
  • the seal 7 is here made of a translucent material of silicone synthetic rubber type, and it has possibly a protruding part or compression nose 8 intended to wrap the shape of the user's nose.
  • the mask is equipped with a strap 9 having two ends 10 fixed to the lateral portion 3.
  • the ends 10 are here attached to the lateral portion 3 in the vicinity from the rear edge 5 thereof, so as not to disturb the vision of the user.
  • the strap 9 can be produced in two parts, with a rear part having two ends connected, by means of conventional type setting (not shown here), aux two ends 10 which are made in one piece with the attached 7.
  • the fact that the window 6 is flat prevents distortion of the user's vision.
  • the enveloping lateral portion 3 allows, by its transparency, a totally panoramic vision. Vision through the lateral portion 3, that is to say according to a wide angle, is not disturbed in any way thanks to the faces of flat side 3.1. This vision is particularly optimal by the choice of an angle of 108 ° formed by the flat window 6 and each flat side face.
