Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a tensioning device of the belt for the fastening of the compressed gas bottles to the back of a jacket or the like for underwater activity, proper to prevent a slipping of said bottles both under and out of the water.
  • Aim of the present invention is then to avoid the disadvantages of the known systems for the fastening of the bottles to the bottle supporting backs, providing a fastening system proper to provide for an optimal bottle fastening power under any use condition, without requiring any physical effort by the users.
  • said aim is obtained by inserting between the two ends of the bottle fastening belt a pneumatic jack connected to a suitable compressed gas source, proper to provide for an optimal locking power on the bottle itself.
  • the pressure energy for said jack is provided by the diver compressed air bottle itself.
  • said energy can be also provided by a special compressed fluid little bottle used for this aim, or even by a suitable external source.
  • said jack is most preferably provided with releasable mechanic locking means guaranteeing the maintenance of the locking power even in case of leak of compressed air from the jack itself.
  • said jack most preferably includes two parallel plungers to make the effort more balanced.
  • the numeral 1 shows a belt for the belting of a bottle 2, for its hooking for example to the back 3 of a jacket 4.
  • a rectangular annular loop 5 At one end of the belt is steady fastened a rectangular annular loop 5.
  • the other end of the belt 1 is passed around a second rectangular annular loop 6 and is led on the inner side of belt 1 to which it is fastened through, for example, a Velcro fastening element 7.
  • cylinders 11, 11' within which a plunger 12, 12' slides watertight.
  • the cylinders 11, 11' are both connected on the side adjoining the head 109 with a one way valve 13 for the loading of the compressed air, and with a valve 14 for the exhaust of the compressed air, for the aims which will be better described later.
  • the ends of the two shafts 8, 8' are fastened in an articulated way to the loop 6. Said shafts 8, 8' are then led through the holes 209, 209' of the head 109 of the pneumatic jack 9 into the cylinders 11 and 11'. As shown, the loop 5 is steady connected to the jack 9 body for example by welding.
  • the device is completed by a security mechanic locking device, consisting of the shaft 15 articulated at one end to the loop 6, and going with its other end into an element 16 fastened to the jack body 9.
  • said shaft 15 can be a shaft provided with rack teeth
  • the device 16 can house a pawl element co-operating with the rack teeth of the shaft 15, or can be an undercut locking device or the like, for the aims described later.
  • the bottle 2 is ringed by the belt 1, provided with the jack 9, by making the belt 1 free end pass around the loop 6 and locking it in position of pre-tensioning through the Velcro 7.
  • the mechanical security system 15, 16 shown can be of another type, or at the worst it can be absent, since its presence is not necessary for the good working of the device, but it just represents an additionally security measure.
  • the compressed gas necessary to start up the pneumatic jack 9 can be provided by the diver bottle itself, can be provided by a suitable little bottle integral with the system of the jacket or the back, or can be provided by any external source. Moreover, said feeding can occur intermittently, or the jack 9 loading valve can be constantly connected with a compressed gas source.
  • the loading valve 13 can be provided with a quick insertion system for the connection, for example, of a intake connected to a compressed gas source, or it can be connected to said intake through a threaded or bayonet clutch, or the like.
  • the present invention is not limited by the shown and/or described embodiment forms, but it includes all those variations and changes in the sphere of the invention concept, substantially as claimed later on.
