Abstract

The propulsion unit includes two parts connected together by an electrical wire: we can see, on the one hand, the control case, comprising the battery of accumulators, attached to the hips and, on the other hand, the propulsion unit mounted on a support whose base is attached to the leg between the tibia and the calf. The design given by way of example will enable the invention to be understood. The characteristics presented by the invention and the advantages it provides: motor 1 inserted in a ring 2 fastened on the cylinder 3; propeller 4 protected by a protective grid 5; base 7 and support 6, thinned down 15, of the propulsion unit; electrical wire 9 connecting the motor to the control casing 10 containing the battery of accumulators 11; starter button 12; belt 13; degassing stopper 14.

Description

DESCRIPTION
La présente invention est relative à des perfectionnements apports aux propulseurs ous-marins pour plongeurs autonomes.DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to improvements to the submarine thrusters for scuba divers.

On sait que les propulseurs connus se présentent sous la forme d'un corps cylindriue qui renferme la batterie d'accumulateurs et le moteur dtentrainement disposé dans le Irolongement de celle-ci. Le plongeur est allongé au dessus de l'appareil qu'il dirige d' ne main ou des deux mains ou bien l'appareil se trouve être en forme de selle qu'il glise entre les jembes et qui lui laisse les mains libres mais non les jambes. It is known that the known thrusters are in the form of a cylindrical body which contains the accumulator battery and the drive motor arranged in the extension thereof. The diver is lying on top of the device which he directs with one hand or with both hands or else the device happens to be in the form of a saddle which he slides between the jembes and which leaves his hands free but not legs.

Les perfectionnements qui font ltobjet de la présente invention ont plus spécialement our but de remédier aux inconvénients précitées.  The improvements which are the subject of the present invention more specifically have the aim of remedying the abovementioned drawbacks.

Le propulseur sous-marin suivant l'invention est principalement remarquable car son orps comporte deux parties distinctes reliées entre-elles par un fil electrique allant du oteur au boitier de commande de la mise en marche. The submarine propellant according to the invention is mainly remarkable because its orps has two distinct parts connected together by an electric wire going from the engine to the control unit of the starting.

D'une part, le boitiez de commande de la mise en marche renfermant la batterie d'accuulateurs est attaché sur la hanche à l'aide d'une ceinture et d'autre part, le propulseur st monté sur un support dont le socle est, lui, attaché sur la jambe entre le tibia et le ollet à l'aide de deux lanières. On the one hand, the start-up control box containing the accumulator battery is attached to the hip using a belt and on the other hand, the propellant is mounted on a support whose base is , him, tied on the leg between the tibia and the nipple using two straps.

ne grille de protection est montée sur le propulseur: elle a une double fonction:
- protéger le plongeur de l'hélice
- protéger l'hél ice elle-même
Le plongeur ainsi équipé aura une remarquable maniabilité au niveau des jambes et une leine disponibilité au niveau des mains.a protective grid is mounted on the thruster: it has a double function:
- protect the diver from the propeller
- protect the helicopter itself
The diver thus equipped will have remarkable maneuverability in the legs and a limited availability in the hands.

I1 trouvera une trés faible résistance lors de ses déplacements dans liteau.  I1 will find a very weak resistance during its displacements in batten.

De par sa conception (propulseur en deux parties), une meilleur répartition est ainsi aite.  By design (two-part propellant), better distribution is thus achieved.
