[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to improvement of a diving suit worn when diving underwater in rivers, seas, etc., and in particular, has made it possible to obtain easy attachment / detachment of a boot portion covering a leg portion, enhancement of wear resistance and the like. Regarding dry type diving suits for divers.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, when diving into water, various types of diving suits have been provided to keep the heat of the diver himself, the ease of underwater activities, proper protection from external enemies, etc. Wet type and dry type are suitable for long-term diving work. The wet type is that the water that comes into contact with the body of the diving person heats up the body and keeps it warm.For example, it is made of foam synthetic rubber with an open-cell structure so that it is suitable for a short diving movement as sports. There is. The dry type is designed to supply medium pressure air from the outside so as to form an air layer between the inner surface of the suit and the body surface so that the body of the diver does not come into direct contact with water. For example, it is made of neoprene rubber having a closed cell structure.

And, in order to surely and completely avoid contact with water, this dry type is constructed so as to cover the whole body and four limbs of the diver, as shown in FIG. A body portion 101 that covers a body portion such as the abdomen is connected to an arm portion 102 that covers both arms and a leg portion 103 having a boot structure that covers both legs including a foot portion, respectively, to integrally cover almost all of the body. It is something that is made.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the above-mentioned conventional dry-type diving suit, since the body 101 and the leg 103 are integrated, the legs of the diving wearer's own are placed in the foot 104 continuous with the leg 103. Need to insert foot. Therefore, in order to easily insert and pull out the insteps and heels of the diver who wears or takes them off, the legs 103 of the diving suit become slightly rigid and It was designed to be slightly larger than the shin diameter of the wearer's own shin so as to have a considerably large spatial margin. Further, the leg portion 103 itself has a structure in which the foot portion is reinforced by making it thick and rigid in consideration of the fact that the leg portion 103 may walk during diving work.

However, when the leg portion 103 of the diving suit itself has a space, the medium pressure air supplied into the diving suit itself also enters the leg portion 103. Extra buoyancy may be generated on the shore, which may cause the diver to stand up in the water. In order to prevent this and form neutral buoyancy, conventionally, a weight 105 called a neck pallet fork is mounted on the leg portion 103.

Then, although the weight 105 can facilitate the diving work in the water without burdening the diving person, it floats after the diving work and goes up to the hull, land, etc. Sometimes, in combination with fatigue during diving work, the weight of the weight 105 itself makes it very difficult for the diver to lift himself, and it is impossible to climb without the assistance of others. There was also something.

Not only that, but due to walking or the like at the time of diving work, the boots, which are the legs 103, are much more severely damaged than the entire suit, and when this is damaged, the legs 103 are repaired or reattached. Is something that must be done. However, repairs are often difficult because the soles are thick and have a rigid structure, and when the damage is severe, the diving suit itself had to be discarded. .

Therefore, the present invention has been devised in view of the above-mentioned various existing circumstances, and is formed by integrating the body portion, the arm portion, and the thin leg portion with a flexible material. The suit body and boots made of slightly rigid material to cover the legs are separately formed to prevent extra medium pressure air from entering the legs during diving work worn by the diver. It is possible to prevent the legs from rising up without using a special neck ankle, which makes it easy for the diver to easily lift up, and even if the boot body itself is damaged, it can be replaced. It is an object of the present invention to provide a dry-type diving suit for a diver, which is not only easy but also easy to wear.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, according to the present invention, in a dry type diving suit that covers the entire body of a diving operator, a body part 2 that covers body parts such as the chest and abdomen, and arm parts that cover both arms are provided. 3, a diving suit body 1 in which thin legs 4 that cover both legs including a foot portion are continuously provided, and a boot body 10 having a detachable and rigid structure that covers the legs 4 from the outside in a substantially close contact manner It is characterized by having.

The boot body 10 has a thick bottom portion 11 that covers the bottom of the foot, a toe core portion 12 that covers the instep portion, and a shaft portion 13 that covers the leg portion. The shaft portion 13 may be provided with an opening / closing fastener 14 extending from the upper end of the shaft portion 13 to the vicinity of the bottom portion 11.

Further, a belt-shaped fixing belt 15 which is located above the opening / closing fastener 14 and covers the opening / closing end so as to straddle the opening / closing fastener 14 can be fixedly attached.

[0012]

[Action]

 In the dry type diving suit for a diving person according to the present invention, after wearing the body 1 of the diving suit, the boot body 10 is provided on the outside of the leg 4 so as to cover the leg 4 from the outside of the body 4. Are worn in close contact.

At this time, the opening and closing fastener 14 of the boot body 10 opens the boot body 10 itself by opening the boot body 10 so that the boot body 10 can be easily attached to the leg 4 and closed. The boot body 10 is brought into close contact with the leg portion with the leg portion 4 interposed therebetween.

The fixed belt 15 that covers the open / close end of the opening / closing fastener 14 after closing keeps the opening / closing fastener 14 itself in a closed state.

The leg portion 4 and the boot body 10, which are in close contact with the leg portion of the diving operator, do not allow the medium pressure air supplied into the body 1 of the diving suit to enter the leg portion 4, but enter. In some cases, it should be kept to a minimum and the extra buoyancy on the legs of the diving operator should be reduced to prevent it from rising.

The body 1 of the diving suit itself is formed into a dry type, and the medium pressure air supplied into the body 1 of the diving suit serves as a heat retaining medium to maintain the body temperature of the diver himself, and By not attaching a special weight, the overall weight is reduced and the submersible operator's own lifting operation from the water is facilitated.

[0017]

【Example】

 BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, referring to the drawings, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Reference numeral 1 shown in the drawings is a diving suit body, and the diving suit body 1 is a body portion 2 for covering body parts such as chest and abdomen. In addition, an arm portion 3 that covers both arms and a leg portion 4 that covers both legs including the foot portion are continuously provided. The diving suit body 1 itself is of a dry type having a watertight outer surface and a dense structure, and is also a flexible, flexible and stretchable closed-cell foam synthetic resin, For example, neoprene rubber is integrally formed as a whole. The body 2, arm 3, and leg 4 are planned to be formed separately according to the physique of each diving operator, and in particular, the leg 4 is used for diving work. It is formed to have a thin diameter that substantially corresponds to the shin diameter of the leg portion so as to be in close contact with the leg portion of the person. The diving suit body 1 is not limited to the case of being formed of the closed-cell type foam neoprene rubber, and may be formed of a fiber type, and the material is not particularly limited.

As shown in FIG. 1, the leg portion 4 itself is joined to the sole portion and the left and right portions from the knee to the tip of the foot, and the leg portions of the diving operator are joined together. In particular, the below-knee portion covered by the boot body 10 described later has a smaller wall thickness than the conventional one, for example, the wall thickness is about 3 mm.

The diving suit body 1 also has an intake valve 5 connected to a supply pipe (not shown) for sucking medium pressure air into the body when the body is worn, and the medium pressure air inside is freely adjustable. Exhaust valves 6 are provided for each of them. An attachment / detachment fastener 7 for opening / closing an attachment / detachment opening for attaching / detaching the dive suit body 1 is arranged along the left / right direction on the upper back so as to reach the upper portions of the left and right arm portions 3. 7 is formed of a waterproof slide fastener structure.

Further, a boot body 10 having a more rigid structure than the diving suit body 1 is detachably worn on the leg portion 4 of the diving suit body 1 on the outside of the leg portion 4. Has become. The boot body 10 is provided with a thick sole portion 11 having a bottom surface subjected to anti-slip treatment to cover the sole surface of the foot, a toe core portion 12 for covering the instep portion, and a shaft portion 13 for covering the leg portion. An opening / closing fastener 14 extending from the upper end of the shaft portion 13 to the vicinity of the shoe sole 11 is arranged inside the shaft portion 13, for example, inside the shaft portion 13. The opening / closing fastener 14 is slid downward so as to reach the shoe sole 11, so that the coupling tooth portions 14B on both sides are separated and opened.

The boot body 10 itself is formed of a foamed synthetic resin having a closed cell structure having a watertight and dense structure on the outer side surface thereof, and the boot body 10 is individually adapted so as to correspond to each diving worker wearing the boots. As configured. As shown in FIG. 2, when the wearer wears the outer surface of the leg portion 4 that directly covers the leg portion of the diving operator in a substantially intimate contact state and is closed and worn by the opening / closing fastener 14, The inner surface of the leg 4 is in close contact with the surface of the leg without any gap, so that the inner surface of the leg 4 comes into close contact.

Further, the boot body 10 is provided with a belt-shaped fixing belt 15 which is positioned at an opening / closing end portion which is an upper portion of the opening / closing fastener 14 and which covers the slider 14A so as to be fastened freely. One end is fixed to the outside of one of the coupling tooth portions 14B on the inside of the boot body 10, and the other side of the coupling tooth portion 14B is fixed to the outside by means of a buckle, a surface fastener, a button and other fastening members 16. It can be attached (see Fig. 3).

Although the opening / closing fastener 14 shown in the drawing is arranged outside the boot body 10, it may be arranged inside the boot body 10, and any form is adopted. It can be arbitrarily selected, and is preferably watertight.

Next, as an example of the use of the diving suit body 1, the diving worker wears the diving suit body 1 and then covers the leg portion of the diving suit body 1 outside the leg 4 in the same manner as in the past. It is enough to wear the boot body 10. At this time, the boot body 10 is largely opened by the opening / closing fastener 14, and then the leg portion 4 is covered, and the opening / closing fastener 14 is closed to bring the boot body 10 into close contact with the leg portion via the leg portion 4 (see FIG. 2). See). In addition, by covering the slider 14A portion of the opening / closing fastener 14 with the fixing belt 15, both sides of the opening / closing end are connected to each other, and the closed state of the opening / closing fastener 14 is maintained.

Then, the medium pressure air supplied during diving work in which a suitable weight is attached is taken into the diving suit body 1 by the intake valve 5, and the medium pressure air at this time is the legs of the diving suit body 1. It does not need to be equipped with a special weight for forming neutral buoyancy, as it does not enter the part 4 slightly, does not generate extra buoyancy in the legs. In addition, when ascending, the exhaust valve 6 adjusts the amount of exhaust to ascend to the hull or the like, and the lifting operation at this time is not greatly restricted by the weight.

[0026]

[Effects of the Invention] The present invention is configured as described above, and as a result, it has an excellent fit on the legs when worn and stays inside the legs 4 when diving when worn by a diver. It is possible to prevent the legs from rising up without the extra medium pressure air entering, and to obtain neutral buoyancy without using a special weight such as a neck ankle. Therefore, it is possible to quickly perform the underwater work, and because the dive suit body 1 is a dry type, there is no water entering into the dive suit body 1 and there is no weight in the legs. The lifting operation can be facilitated and the diver can easily go up. Furthermore, even if the boot body 10 itself is damaged, it is formed separately from the diving suit body 1, so that only this 10 can be easily replaced and can be easily replaced, and it is extremely convenient. Is.

That is, this is the suit body 1 in which the body portion 2, the arm portion 3, and the small-diameter leg portion 4 are integrated by a flexible material in the present invention, and the leg by the slightly rigid material. This is because the boot body 10 is formed separately so as to cover the portion 4, and the boot body 10 is formed so as to be openable and closable by the opening and closing fastener 14 and substantially close to the outer surface of the leg portion 4 when closed. This prevents extra medium pressure air from entering the legs inside the body 1 of the diving suit, and does not restrict the body movements of the diving worker who wears it, and makes it easy to replace the boot body 10 that is highly worn. This is because it can be done.

Further, since the diving worker is supposed to wear the boot body 10 on the outside of the leg part 4 so as to cover the leg part from the outside of the leg part 4 of the diving suit body 1 after wearing the main body 1 of the diving suit. When the boot body 10 is worn, the thin leg portion 4 of the diving suit body 1 is almost in close contact with the leg portion, which facilitates the body movement during diving and smoothly performs various operations. The advantage that can be made is also obtained.

In addition, when the boot body 10 is worn on the outside of the leg portion 4, the opening / closing fastener 14 opens the boot body 10 itself so that the leg portion 4 can be easily worn. In addition, when it is closed, the boot body 10 can be properly brought into contact with the leg portion with the leg portion 4 interposed. After the contact, the inner surface of the leg 4 comes into close contact with the surface of the leg portion of the diving operator, so that medium pressure air rarely enters here and does not generate extra buoyancy in the leg portion during diving. It prevents unnecessary lifting and does not require a weight such as the neck ankle that was required in the past.

Further, since the opening / closing end after closing the opening / closing fastener 14 is covered with the fixing belt 15, both sides of the opening / closing fastener 14 itself can be connected, and the opening / closing fastener 14 is opened unintentionally and the opening / closing fastener 14 is opened. It is possible to prevent the opening and closing and to maintain the closed state of the opening and closing fastener 14. Not only that, it is effective in preventing excessive infiltration of water into the boot body 10, and it is very useful for smoothing the body movement, especially in the leg portion.

Further, since the dive suit body 1 itself is formed as a dry type, water does not enter between the dive suit body 1 and the body surface of the diving operator, and the leg 4 is conventionally formed. In contrast to the fact that it is not necessary to attach a special weight, the overall weight can be reduced, and for example, when diving from the water, there is no need for the assistance of another person and the diving operator. Can easily lift from the water by itself.

Since the boot body 10 has a rigid structure, the boot body 10 can be made to be strong by itself, and the boot body 10 is more damaged than the diving suit body 1 and used for a long time. Even if it cannot be done, it is a separate body from the body 1 of the diving suit, so only this 10 can be easily exchanged, and selection and exchange use can be made depending on the situation of the diving place.
