Description

Technical field

The utility model relates to diving equipment, namely, to a device for adjusting the position of a diver under water.

State of the art

The prior art devices for adjusting the position of the diver under water, made in the form of mobile loads attached to the equipment (see, for example, US patent US3808824 05/05/1984, US patent US9296452, 03/29/2016, US patent US7775744, 08/17/2010) or cargo pockets (see, for example, US patent US5205672, 04/27/1993, US patent US5913640, 06/22/1999).

The closest analogue of the utility model is the device disclosed in British patent GB1587124, 01/01/1981. The device is made in the form of a cargo pocket, with the possibility of movable fastening on the belt or sling of the diver's equipment. In addition, the device also has a means of emergency discharge of cargo from the pocket.

The main disadvantage of the known analogues, including the closest analogue, is the difficulty in operating the device. This is due, in particular, to the fact that equipment slings have different geometric parameters, and when fastening cargo pockets on them, the forces that must be applied to move the pocket will also be different. As a result, this reduces the safety of the device used, since too low a force required to move can lead to accidental displacement of the load during operation, and too high a magnitude of this force will not allow the diver to independently change position in a difficult situation.

Utility Model Disclosure

The objective of the claimed utility model is to eliminate the disadvantages of analogues and create a universal design of the device for adjusting the position of the diver.

The technical result of the utility model is to increase the safety of using the device by simplifying its operation.

The specified technical result is achieved in a utility model due to the fact that the device for adjusting the position of the diver under water comprises a housing in the form of a pocket having an internal space for accommodating cargo, means for movably fastening the housing to the diver’s equipment sling with the possibility of moving the housing along the specified line and adjustment means the effort required to move the hull along the equipment slings.

In addition, the specified technical result is achieved in private options for implementing the utility model, according to which:

- the means of movable mounting of the housing contains tapes, the ends of which are attached to the housing with the possibility of placing equipment slings between these tapes and the housing, while the tapes are parallel to each other with the formation of gaps;

- means for adjusting the force contains rods connected to the housing, made with the possibility of placement between the sling and the housing in the interval between the tapes;

- the rods of the force control means are connected to the housing by flexible elements;

- the rods of the force control means have at both ends of the bulge;

- the body has a valve with Velcro;

- the device further comprises a means of emergency discharge of cargo from the housing;

- the means for emergency dumping of cargo from the housing comprises a cargo cover located in the internal space of the housing and a handle protruding from the housing connected to the specified cover to evacuate the cargo from the housing;

- the cover for the cargo of the emergency reset means is equipped with a zipper.

Unlike analogues, the claimed device additionally uses a means of adjusting the force of movement of the body along the equipment sling, which allows to increase the design versatility in terms of the ability to install the device on equipment of various configurations and, as a result, simplifies the adjustment of the diver's position in water due to the possibility of setting the required level resistance to movement and increases the safety of using the device.

The given private options for implementing the utility model are also aimed at simplifying and improving the safety of operation of the device. They are not the only possible forms of embodiment of the design, and the specified technical result is achieved without the mandatory presence of these additional design features.

Utility Model Implementation

A device for adjusting the position of a diver under water contains a housing (1) in the form of a pocket mounted on a sling (strap) (2) of diver's equipment. Typically, the diver uses at least two of these devices, mounted on slings (2) symmetrically (figure 1).

The housing (1) has an internal space for accommodating cargo, closed by a valve (3) with Velcro (Velcro).

The housing (1) has the possibility of movable fastening by means of means (4), which ensures the movement of the housing along the slings (2) (Fig. 2). The specified fastening means (4) is preferably made in the form of a series of parallel tapes (4a), fixed with their ends on the housing for placing slings (2) between the rear surface of the housing (1) and tapes (2). These tapes (4a) are oriented perpendicular to the sling and are placed at a distance from each other at certain intervals.

The device also provides means (5) for adjusting the force required to move the housing (1) along the slings (2) (Fig. 2). In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, said means (5) include several rods (5a) in the form of “stones” having thickenings at the ends. These rods (5a) are attached to the housing (1) using flexible elements (5b) (cables) and are arranged to be placed between the surfaces of the slings (2) and the housing (1) in the spaces between the belts (4a).

The claimed device may also further include means (6) for emergency discharge of cargo from the housing. Said means (6) preferably has an elastic cover (6a) located in the housing (1) with a zipper (6c) and a handle (6b) protruding outward of the housing (1). The specified cover (6a) is designed to place cargo in it and its emergency evacuation from the housing (1) in an emergency.

For the manufacture of the device can be used various materials widely known by the specialist. In particular, the housing, tapes and case can be made of woven synthetic material, and the rods can be made of metal or plastic.

The device is operated as follows.

One or more pairs of devices is mounted symmetrically on the equipment slings (2) (Fig. 1). When moving the case (1) of the device in the direction of the lower part of the body, the diver's position changes in the direction of tilt up (see figa), and when moving in the opposite direction, the diver tilts down (see Fig. 4b).

The degree of sliding of the body (1) along the slings of the diver’s equipment is changed using means (5). By installing one, two, etc. rods in the gap between the housing and the sling, it is possible to achieve a lighter or heavier force to move the housing. In the absence of rods, the smallest effort is required to move.

In the event of an emergency, the diver can easily drop loads using the tool (6) by pulling the handle (6b) and pulling the cover (6a) with the load out of the body (1) (Figs. 3a-3c).

Thus, the claimed device has several advantages over the well-known, such as easy installation on any type of equipment and any size of slings, ease of change and selection of goods, simplicity and safety of operation.
