Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem in a conventional diving system wherein it is physically difficult to observe a large range and underwater movement while carrying heavy equipment on the back affects quick movement. <P>SOLUTION: Air is supplied to a towed diver from a compressor part installed on board a towing boat. A handle is provided with a water resistance plate to permit up/down and right/left underwater movement in optional directions by changing the angle. The diver can effectively observe underwater by receiving the stable supply of air from the boat. Because of being movable in optional directions using the handle utilizing resistance of water, the diver can experience unprecedentedly quick underwater movement. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Description

The present invention relates to a diving apparatus for effectively observing a wide range of underwater and water surfaces while moving efficiently.

Some conventional simple diving devices have small tanks.
There is also a diving method for sending compressed air from above the water surface.

Conventional diving methods are physically difficult to observe over a wide area, and moving underwater while carrying heavy equipment affects agile movement.

Means to solve the problem

The present invention supplies air (compressed air) to a towed ship (boat) compressor section (compressed air supply section) and a towed diver.
The handle is provided with a water resistance plate and can be moved in any direction by changing the angle.

The invention's effect

A diver can observe the water effectively by receiving a stable supply of air from the ship. In addition, because it can move in any direction using the handle using the resistance of water, you can experience the agile movement in the water like never before.

Handle part (steering part) Harness part Steering method Handle and regulator Emergency ascent device (handle) Manifold part (compressed air storage and distribution part)

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, the actual form of this invention is demonstrated based on FIGS.

It is supplied through a hose connected to a manifold section (compressed air storage and distribution section) [FIG. 6] towing from a compressor (compressed air supply device) installed on the ship.

The manifold part is provided with buoyancy bodies (buoys) at both ends so as not to sink in water. [Fig. 6]

The diver is towed using a rope and a handle (steering portion) [FIG. 1] connected to the manifold.

In addition, the handle (steering portion) is provided with a regulator so that it can breathe even in water. Further, the hose passes through the rotating shaft so that the hose does not get entangled even if the handle is rotated 360 ° laterally by the rotation mechanism. [Fig. 4]

A steering plate is provided on the handle, and when it is tilted in an arbitrary direction, it can move freely on the surface of the water or underwater due to the resistance of water. [Figure 3]

The manifold part has a total of five hooks and air hose attachment adapters for attaching ropes to tow 1-5 divers at a time.

The diver and the handle can be connected using a hook attached to the harness, so you won't get tired even during long towing. [Figure 2]

Moreover, air (compressed air) is supplied to an air bag (buoyancy body) from an air hose provided on the handle, which is provided with an emergency levitation device for safety, to ensure buoyancy. [Figure 5]

In the actual operation method, when the pin connected to the control unit (operation unit) comes off, the valve in the control unit opens and air is supplied to the airbag. [Figure 5]

Because it is possible to observe underwater efficiently while minimizing the physical strength of divers, it is possible to observe a wide area for a long time, and to propose a new type of diving by agile movement in water.

Claims (6)

  A mechanism that rotates using a bearing at the base of the handle and rope, and the hose penetrates the center part to prevent the handle from getting tangled with the hose.   By attaching a water resistance plate to the handle part, tilting the handle (operating part) makes it possible to move up, down, left and right in the water.   Stores air (compressed air) from the compressor and distributes and supplies the air to the attached hose and handle.   Air (compressed air) from the hose can be breathed in water through a diving regulator. A protector is provided to prevent the discharge button from being pushed by water pressure from the front.   By pulling the safety code of the emergency levitation device provided in the handle portion, the pin descends, the passage of air (compressed air) is opened, and air (compressed air) is supplied to the air bag (air bag).   The belt stretched from the harness wound around the diver's body is hooked on the handle to reduce the water resistance burden on the body, allowing observation in the water for a long time.
