Description

Nov. 24, 1931.
I A. WALUS SWIMMING BELT Filed Dec. 25, 1930 INVENTOR ATTORNEY Patented Nov. 24, 1931 ANDREW wanes, or BROOKLYN, NEW YORK SWIMMING BELT Application filed December 23, 1930. Serial No. 504,359.
' This invention relates to swimming belts and life preservers. v
The primary object of the invention is to provide a swimming belt which is readily in? flated and which is capable of being securely strapped around the body.
'Another object of the invention is to provide a practical and inexpensive swimming belt which will enable aperson to learn to swim without interfering with the movements of the body. I
. Another object of the invention is to provide a life saving belt which will occupy a relatively small space when not in use and which will prove as effective when in use as other life saving belts which employ cork or other buoyant materials.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be hereinafter specifically pointed out, or will become apparent, as the specification proceeds. 5
With the above indicated objects in view, the invention resides in certain novel const'r'uctions and combinations and arrangements of parts, clearly described in the following specification and fully illustrated'in the accompanying drawings which latter show an embodiment of the invention as at present preferred.
In said drawings: Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the embodiment showing the same in use.
Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the embodiment.
3 is a front elevation of the same. Fig. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary section of the valve construction.
Referring now more particularly to said drawings, the embodiment as at present preferred includes an annular tubular float structure 5, which is constructed of relatively heavy rubber, such as is used in automobile inner tubes, and is provided with a belt portion 6, secured to one end thereof, and having .a number of spaced holes 6, and a buckle 7 to engage said belt structure. The belt portion may be of any suitable length in order to be adjustable to various girths.
Thetubular float structure carries a valve 8 near one end thereof, said valve comprising an externally threaded male structure 9 with .a flange portion 9 to engage the inner side of the float structure and an lnternally threaded female portion 10, carrying a flange portion 10; to engage the outer side of the float structure, a top portion 11, a mouthpiece portion 12 and a valve member 13, secured to the top portion 11. When it is desired to inflate the float structure one forces air into the mouthpiece portion until the float is properly inflated. The belt may be deflated after use, by opening the valve 18. This may be most easily accomplished by inserting a match or the like in the mouthpiece portion 12.
The hereinbefore described construction admits of considerable modification without departing from the invention; therefore, it is the wish not to be limited to the precise arrangements shown and described, which are as aforesaid, by way of illustration merely. In other words the scope of protection contemplated is to be taken solely from the appended claim, interpreted as broadly as is consistent with the prior art.
What I claim is:
A swimming belt comprising an annular tubular inflatable float structure, means for detachably connecting the ends of said float structure together and a valve structure comprising two tubular members having flanges bearingon opposite sides of a: wall of said float structure, said members belng screwed together to cause their respective flanges to cooperate in gripping the wall of the float structure held therebetween, to makea watertight joint between said valve body and said float structure.
In testimony whereof I hereby aflix my signature.
ANDREW WALUS.
