Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for underwater observations, which is buoyant and usable by persons.
  • the devices described above have a number of disadvantages.
  • the observer must stand in the water, is thus exposed to this and must be able to withstand at least unpleasant water temperatures and / or currents.
  • the observer's stay in the water can also cause fishes to go astray and thus become unobservable.
  • Another disadvantage may be that the drives of the observation boats due to their noise fish fish and make desired observation results impossible.
  • Inflatable boats with an observation window in the ground area, as in AU 27 927 have insufficient capacity and are not sufficiently stable on the high seas.
  • a major disadvantage of all known observation boats for a larger number of people is their locality.
  • the large-volume rigid boat hulls are not easily implementable from a fixed location to an observation site that has become interesting in the meantime. If anything, it can be considered that it can only be transposed via the water using the observation boat's own drive. Land transports of such observation boats are usually excluded.
  • Viewer - is a person who is in a facility for underwater observation.
  • Buoyancy - is a means that makes a device buoyant and sustainable for underwater observations. It can be one or more parts.
  • Floor - is a closed surface, which is connected in its edge region with a circumferential or a plurality of arranged therein buoyancy body and has at least one transparent portion.
  • Transparent section - is a transparent, preferably crystal-clear, surface that is integrated into the floor surface or adjoins the floor surface in the edge area.
  • a device for underwater observations which is floatable, is produced by connecting at least one buoyant body to a ground at the boundary line of the device, the at least one buoyant body keeping the ground floating on a water surface.
  • Floor and buoyancy bodies are designed so that no water can reach the top of the soil in the normal case and on the ground viewers are protected from moisture.
  • the floor area is dimensioned so that one or a plurality of viewers find space on it.
  • the buoyant body is designed to provide at least one buoyancy force, which is indicative of the device's dead weight and the weight of the maximum number of on-ground observers and, optionally, additional equipment and accessories of the underwater observation facilities.
  • the generally preferred embodiment of the underwater observation device is designed so that the buoyant body is closed annularly and the bottom is tightly connected to the buoyant body.
  • the buoyant body may be filled with rigid structures and, for example, consist of a foam body.
  • the foam body may be additionally enclosed with a dense sheet.
  • the envelope of the foam body can be made openable so that the foam body, which can be segmented in a further preferred embodiment, can be removed. This greatly facilitates the transportation and storage of the device for underwater observations.
  • the underwater observation device provides a buoyant body that is gas filled, such as with air.
  • the internal pressure can preferably be selected to be so high that such a buoyant body braces itself over the surrounding fabric and thus also generates the spatial form of the device for underwater observations.
  • the generally preferred embodiment of the device for underwater observations provides that the buoyancy bodies are made annular, the outer boundary of the device for underwater observations form and the bottom closes the interior waterproof between the annular buoyancy body.
  • the outer shape of the buoyant body is preferably annular, but in other embodiments may also have different polygonal contour lines.
  • the buoyant body may also have a rectangular shape or a triangular shape. It is also possible to carry out a U-shape or a V-shape with a cross-connection on the open side.
  • the size of the buoyant body, the size of the inner floor surface and the number of observers are virtually unlimited.
  • connection between the buoyancy body or the envelope of the buoyant body and the ground is tight. Applicable are all known from the prior art connection forms.
  • connection provides a watertight but detachable connection in this area.
  • the floor is removable, making storage, transport or repair much easier.
  • the floor is a closed, watertight area. It consists at least of an elastic sheet.
  • a preferred embodiment of the floor provides that this has a larger blank than necessary for a direct connection between the two connection points on the buoyancy body.
  • the floor can sink in the middle area under the weight of the observers thereon, while it is fixed in the edge area. If the observers are lying on the floor, this results in a slightly rising reclining position, which is perceived as pleasant compared to lying on a level surface.
  • mattresses or the like may be present on the floor surface.
  • this may be partially stiffened in another embodiment. This can be done for example by rods, pipes, a cage or the like.
  • an additional mass may be disposed in the center of the bottom to produce the desired shape without load from the viewer.
  • the additional mass can be arranged on the underside of the floor. However, their arrangement is particularly preferred on the top of the soil. Thus, this mass does not hinder the flow, and there is additionally a possibility to use the means in question as a container for accessories of the device for underwater observations, for rescue equipment or for objects carried by the observers.
  • the floor can also be designed as a solid construction. This can in turn be made in one piece or segmented.
  • At least one transparent section is arranged in the bottom, through which the event can be observed under water.
  • a preferred form of the arrangement is based on the fact that with an appropriate size of the device for underwater observations, the viewers are quasi star-shaped lying on the ground and are aligned with their feet to the center of the soil. Thus, the transparent portions are located in the periphery of the floor.
  • Deviations from the preferred arrangement described above are of course possible.
  • a polygonal buoyancy body as a parallel arrangement.
  • such an embodiment can also be realized as a single arrangement combined with a polygonal buoyancy body.
  • a possible embodiment may be that in the center of the soil in addition a mast for attachment of appropriate sails or tarpaulins can be arranged.
  • buoyancy body entry and exit aids can be arranged, so that viewers without additional external aids in the device and can get out again.
  • a partially stabilized or a solid floor it is also possible to allow viewers in place of the lying position a sitting position by additional means, such as benches, chairs, stools or the like.
  • a device for underwater observations consists of a buoyancy body 1 and a bottom 2, which is connected in the transition region 3 tightly with the buoyancy body 1 .
  • the bottom 2 closes the interior 4 towards the water surface 5 in such a way that no water can penetrate into the device for underwater observations.
  • transparent sections 6 or 7 are arranged, through which an observation of the events under the water surface 5 is possible.
  • the bottom 2 can be made elastic, whereby it bends under load. It may also be stabilized by rods, tubes, a cage or the like such that it largely retains a given shape and thereby has a portion 9 rising from the center 8 to the transition area / rim 3 .
  • ceilings or the like can be arranged to the comfort lying there, in Fig. 1 a and Fig. 1 b unrepresented viewer.
  • the buoyant body 1 may have a cavity 12 which is gas filled.
  • the gas filling can obtain a higher pressure than the atmospheric air pressure, whereby the buoyancy body 1 stabilized in shape.
  • the buoyant body can be filled with a foam 13 , whereby the same becomes unsinkable.
  • a receptacle 15 for a mast 16 may be provided on the floor 2 , wherein the mast 16 is additionally stabilized by tension cables 17 in the vertical position.
  • the buoyancy body 1 is designed annular.
  • the viewers 18 in such an arrangement are distributed in a quasi star-shaped manner on the floor 2 and can view the events under water through the transparent sections 7.
  • an additional mass 19 is arranged in the center 14 of the arrangement, which can serve for receiving various objects, such as accessories belonging to the device, life-saving appliances, objects brought along, and the like.
  • the observers 18 can rest with their feet 20 on the outer wall 21 of the additional mass 19 and in this way secure their lying position against accidental slipping on the rising portion 9 of the bottom 2 .
  • the device according to the invention for underwater observations may contain further features.
  • elements can be arranged on the buoyancy body 1 , which make it possible to hook in and possibly fix a ladder.
  • steps or rungs can be connected directly to the buoyant body 1 and thus open up an entry or exit possibility.
  • buoyancy body 1 elements can be arranged, which allow a connection with slings, ropes, ropes or the like. This can be used to connect to a self-propelled vessel that provides the facility for underwater observation. It is also possible to use these additional funds to anchor the facility to on-site underwater observations.
  • the invention thus has the advantage that it allows the production and use of facilities for underwater observations in a simple and cost-effective manner, is universally applicable and can be packed, transported or stored after use with little effort.
