Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a weight system for underwater diving vests.
  • the compensating vests are inflatable envelopes traditionally worn around the neck and which serve to balance the divers during their immersion, ie to compensate the variation of their weight according to the depth and the level of filling of their reserve. gas.
  • vests are usually inflated by an oral inflator or a gas source when the diver needs to increase his buoyancy because he tends to go to the bottom and deflated by means of appropriate purges when his buoyancy becomes too great and that the diver has a tendency to go up. The diver can thus if he wishes to seek a position of constant balance regardless of its variable weight.
  • the diver To compensate in part for this imbalance at the lift when the bottle is empty, the diver must imperatively use a lead belt which the weight is calculated so that the empty bottle does not attract the plunger towards the surface at the end of the dive nor towards the bottom too quickly at the beginning of this one.
  • This lead belt must however be able to be dropped at any time if safety requires, and especially if the diver runs out of air during a dive and is forced to reach the surface.
  • the system according to the present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages.
  • ballast sheath at least one of the faces is reinforced by a sufficiently rigid and slightly longer than the sheath itself so that the restraint system has a leverage effect contributing to maintain it in place in the pocket of the compensation vest for housing.
  • the device consists of a ballast element contained in a sheath 1 intended to be inserted into one or more pockets 2 of a compensation vest 3 ( Figures 1 and 2).
  • the sheath 1, of textile or thermoplastic material or equivalent, is preferably of rectangular shape but may be in any other form suitable for application.
  • the ballast 4 will be maintained in the sheath by any satisfactory means, seam, flap or closure of any kind.
  • This sheath 1 is longitudinally reinforced at least on one side and possibly on two sides by a plate 5 sufficiently rigid so that the sheath ballast can be introduced into the pocket 2 of the vest 3 provided for this purpose and dimensioned so that the sheath to the ballast once in place, and whatever its loading, or substantially the same volume and requires the same effort to drop.
  • the reinforcing plate 5 of the sheath 1 to ballast will be substantially longer than the sheath itself on the side of the retaining strap such that once it is in place in the pocket 2 provided for this purpose and then locked, this wafer exerts a leverage contributing to firmly hold the sheath 1 to ballast in said pocket.
  • the retaining strap consists of a flexible band 6 fixed on one side to the sheath 1 and, on the other side, substantially in the middle of a rigid flexible blade 7, one end of which is tapered to facilitate its insertion into the housing of the specific holding loop 8 secured to the vest 3.
  • the rigid blade 7 will have at the end opposite the tapered portion a handle 9 or a form allowing easy grip.
  • the holding loop 8 is equipped with an articulated lever 10 arranged to ensure, in the closed position (FIG. 5), the blocking of the rigid blade 7 by means of a notches 11 provided on the latter, and to open by releasing the sheath. 1 when a lateral traction T is exerted on the handle 9, so that the plunger can actuate it with one hand by acting on the handle consisting of an external rotational movement and then of forward traction these two movements combined to prevent an inadvertent release caused by a pull on the handle by mistake ( Figures 6 and 7).

Claims (6)

  1. Beschwerungssystem für Taucherwesten, bestimmt sowohl für Berufs- als auch für Amateurtaucher, unter Verwendung von Tarierwesten, weiche die Rolle einer Ausgleichsluftreserve übernehmen,
    gekennzeichnet dadurch, dass die Gewichte (4) in einer Schutzhülle (1) enthalten sind, die in eine oder mehrere Taschen (2) einer Tarierweste (3) eingeführt wird, wobei mindestens eine Seite der Schutzhülle mit einer ausreichend steifen Platte (5) verstärkt ist, die etwas länger ist, als die Schutzhülle selbst, so dass das Rückhaltesystem dieser Schutzhülle eine Hebelwirkung besitzt, die dazu beiträgt, es in der Tasche (2) der Tarierweste zurückzuhalten, wobei das Rückhaltesystem aus einem flexiblen Band (6) besteht, das auf einer Seite an der Schutzhülle (1) und auf der anderen Seite etwa in der Mitte einer steifen und flexiblen Zunge (7) mit einem ausgewgeuen Ende befestigt ist, das leichtes Einführen in die Aufnahme einer speziellen, mit der Tarierweste (3) fest verbundenen Halteschnalle (8) ermöglicht.
  2. Beschwerungssystem gemäß Patentanspruch 1, gekennzeichnet dadurch, dass die Zunge (7) an einem dem ausgewogenen Ende gegenüberliegenden Ende einen Griff (9) oder eine besondere Form besitzt, die sie leicht greifbar macht.
  3. Beschwerungssystem gemäß einem der vorstehenden Ansprüche, gekennzeichnet dadurch, dass die Halteschnalle (8) mit einem drehbar angeordneten Hebel (10) verschen ist, um in geschlossener Stellung die Zunge (7) mit Hilfe einer auf der Zunge vorgesehenen Verzahnung (11) zu blockieren.
  4. Beschwerungssystem gemäß Patentanspruch 3, gekennzeichnet dadurch, dass der drehbar angeordnete Hebel (10) so gestaltet ist, dass er sich öffnet und die Schutzhülle (1) freigibt, wenn eine seitliche Zugkraft (T) auf den Griff (9) der Zunge (7) ausgeübt wird.
  5. Beschwerungssystem gemäß einem der vorstehenden Ansprüche 3 und 4, gekennzeichnet dadurch, dass die Zunge (7) und der drehbar angeordnete Hebel (10) so gestaltet sind, dass der Abwurf der Schutzhülle (1) mit dem Gewicht (4) nur dann erfolgt, wenn aufeinanderfolgend eine nach außen gerichtete Drebbewegung und eine nach vorne gerichtete Zugbewegung gemacht werden, so dass ein unbeabsichtigtes Abwerfen durch einen ungewollten Zug am Griff (9) ausgeschlossen ist.
  6. Beschwerungssystem gemäß einem der vorstehenden Ansprüche, gekennzeichnet dadurch, dass die Schutzhülle (1) und die Platte (5) so dimensioniert sind, dass das System eine Abwurfkraft erfordert, die vom Gewicht des in der Schutzhülle enthaltenen Beschwerungsmittels unabhängig ist.
