Abstract

1,261,168. Swim fin. U.S. DIVERS CO. 1 Sept., 1970 [15 June, 1970], No. 41799/70. Heading A6D. A swim fin is characterised by at least one passage extending between an inlet adjacent to a mounting for a foot and an outlet in the tip of the swim fin blade. As shown the mounting 11 comprises a wall 13 defining a foot pocket 14. Sides ribs 17 are provided along the side edge of the blade 10 and wall 13, and situated between these ribs are a pair of intermediate parallel ribs 18. The top and bottom walls 22 and 20, together with ribs 17 and 18 define three rectangular passages extending between inlet 28 and orifice 27. Water enters the inlet 28 and is accelerated down the passage due to the diminishing crosssectional area of the passage, and so provides a thrust when leaving via orifice 27.
