UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
SWIMMING RING OR BELT.
Application filed July 11, 1925, Serial No. 42,879, and in Germany August 5, 1924.
My invention relates to improvements in swimming appliances and more especially such as are adapted to be put on to the neck and the shoulder of the .swimmer.
The swimming appliance according to this invention is adapted to always hold the head of the swimmer above the surface of the water leaving the swimmer entirely free to move in the water in any way or direction he desires. To this end, my swimming appliance consists of astifl' neck collar and an air bag, the latter having the shape of a shoulder collar.
The neck collar is connected with the air bag in such a manner, that the latter may be folded inside of said neck collar.
In the appended drawing Figure 1 is a perspective view partly in section of the new swimming appliance; Figs. 2 and 3 are perspective views of a modification, Fig. 2 being partly in section showing the air bag folded within the neck collar.
As shown in Figure 1 an airbag 72 having the shape of a shoulder collar and consisting of elastic material, preferably caoutchouc or india rubber, is air-tightly attached to the edge 0 of a stiff, but elastic collar (1. The air bag is provided with a tube 6, by means of which it can be inflated as the appliance is placed around the neck of the swimmer. By means of a stopper 9 being connected at f to a string or the like the tube 6 may be closed air-tightly. Buckles (Z may be providedto close the air bag in front. If desired tongues h of any suitable material may he provided enabling the air bag to be attached to the clothes of the swimmer.
In the modification shown in Figs. 2 and 3 the air bag is normally arranged inside of the neck part a as shown in Fig. 2, the neck part in this case serving as an envelope for the air bag I). Then, if through the tube 6 air is introduced into the air bag, it will thereby become expanded and project from the neck collar downwards as shown in Figure 3.
After use the air can be discharged from the air bag by'the pulling out the stopper 9 from the tube 6 whereupon the air bag when desired may be folded within the neck collar a by hand.
I claim l. A swimming appliance comprising an open stifl neck collar, an inflatable flexible air bag connected to said collar continuing the same downwards and shaped to conform to the shoulders of the wearer, a means enabling said air bag to be inflated, and a means for fastening said collar around the neck of the wearer.
2. A swimming appliance comprising an open stiff neck collar, an inflatable flexible air bag connected thereto continuing the collar downwards and shaped to conform to the shoulders of the wearer, a means for enabling said bag to be inflated, a means for fastening said collar around the neck of the wearer, and means for drawing said air bag around the shoulders of the wearer.
'3. A swimming appliance comprising an open stifl' neck collar, an inflatable flexible air bag having the shape of the shoulder piece and adapted to be folded within said collar, a means enabling said air bag to be inflated, and ameans for fastening said collar around the neck of the wearer.
4. A swimming appliance comprising an openstifl neck collar, an inflatable flexible air bagformed as a shoulder piece, means for 3 enabling said air bag to be inflated, buckles at the front of said air bag for fastening th same around the shoulders of the wearer, and a means for securing the appliance to th clothes of the wearer.
In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature.
