SELF-BAILING FORMED SKIN/SCUBA DIVER 'S FLOAT BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to floats for carrying a skin diver and his gear to the point at which scuba diving will take place.
Summary of the Invention The present invention relates to a unitary float structure having a seat formed to fit the buttocks and legs of the diver and further having both wet and dry compartments for carrying the divers equipment. The float acts as a headquarters for the diver to return to between dives and has compartments for fish and other material the diver collects from the water. Further it is extremely stable in the most adverse water and weather to provide reliability and assurance of progressing homeward with safety for the diver, equipment and take via compartments centered and below line of free board.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a float structure for a diver which is self contained, stable and has compartments for the equipment used by the diver.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent in the following specification when considered in light of the attached drawings.

FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view of the invention;
FIG. 4 is a longitudinal, vertical section taken along the line 44 of FIG. I looking in the direction of the arrows;

FIG. 9 is an enlarged transverse cross section taken along the line 9-9 of FIG. 4 looking in the direction of the arrows.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now to the drawings in detail wherein like reference characters indicate like parts throughout the several figures, the reference numeral 10 indicates generally a self bailing formed skin and scuba divers float constructed in accordance with the invention.
The divers float 10 is ofgenerally tubular form and includes an elongate semicircular hull 11 joined along its peripheral edges to a semicircular upper enclosure 12 and an intermediate deck D. The hull ll, enclosure 12 and deck D may be formed of any suitable light weight material such as fiber glass, aluminum and combinations of these materials and inflatable neoprene or rubber. The bow 13 of the float 10 has a lifting handle 14 secured thereto. A lifting handle 15 is secured to the deck D adjacent the stern 16 of the float 10 and with the handle 14 serves as a means for lifting the float 10 or moving it from place to place when out of the water. The deck D slopes upwardly from the side edges thereof at an angle of approximately 15 to the horizontal to promote drainage.
The float 10 intermediate the bow 13 and stern 16 is provided with a passenger compartment 17 having a buttocks receiving seat 18 which is formed to closely fit the buttocks of the diver. A pair of oppositely disposed formfitting leg rests 19, 20 extend forwardly from the seat 18 to closely fit and support the legs of the diver. A partition 21 separates the leg rests 19, 20 as can be clearly seen in FIGS. 1 and 6. Adjustable parallel foot rests F at the forward extremity of the formed leg rests 19 and 20 provide reflex control balancing. A backrest 22 is secured by a hinge H to the seat 18 and projects up wardly from the seat 18 to adjustably support the back of the diver.
An abrasion skid 23 is formed centrally on the bow portion of the hull 11 and extends longitudinally thereof to prevent wear on the hull 11. A transverse bore 24 extends through the forward portion of the skid 23 to permit attachment of tow lines, anchor lines and the like.- A keel 25 extends longitudinally of the stem portion of the hull 11 to stabilize the float 10 as it moves through the water.
A pair of oppositely disposed abutting hinged doors 26 are secured to the upper enclosure 12 between the seat 18 and the stem 16 to give access to the interior of the float 10. A second pair of hinged abutting doors 27 are secured to the bow portion of the upper enclosure 12 between the seat 18 and the bow 13 to likewise give access to the interior of the float 10. A compartment 28 underlies the hinged doors 16 to receive a standard (72 cu. ft.) scuba tank and other gear of the diver of such a nature that can be kept in wet storage. A drain port 29 extends from the compartment 28 through the hull ll of the float 10. The water displaced by the items stored therein is automatically drained through the tube 29. A plug 30 is removably positioned in the bottom of the drain bore 29 to permit the compartment 28 to be closed off from the water should it be desired to use the float 10 with the compartment 28 dry.
A watertight compartment 31 closed by a removable watertight lid 32 underlies the doors 27 for receiving gear which would be damaged by water, such as food, cameras and the like. Drain bores 33 open through the rear end portion of the upper enclosure 12 to drain water that might have collected on the deck D. Drain bores 34 open through the forward portion of the upper enclosure 12 to drain water that might have collected on the deck D.
A compartment 36 is positioned within the cockpit 17 forwardly of the seat 18 and centrally of the float 10. The compartment 36 is provided for the weight belt of the diver so that it will be at the lowest possible point in the hull 11 and substantially centrally thereof to assist in maintaining an extremely low center of gravity for the float 10. The compartment 36 has a drain bore 37 extending therefrom through the hull 11 so that the cockpit 17 may be self bailing therethrough.
The area (volumetric space) between the hull 11 and deck D as at 38, 39, 40 and 41 is sealed, airtight for flotation purposes and may have plastic foam flotation material (not shown) contained therein.
A bar 42 extends across the top of the compartment 36 and provides means for the attachment of the weight belt to prevent its loss in the eventuality of the craft overturning. Bar 42 further provides a central lifting handle.
In the use and operation of the invention the diver launches the float 10 and seats himself in the cockpit 17 with his gear loaded into the compartments 28 and 31 and the weight belt in compartment 36. The diver displaces all of the water in the cockpit through drain bore 37. He then propels the float 10 to the point at which diving is to take place by using either a double ended oar (not shown) or his two hands. The float 10 is anchored at the point of diving and the diver uses it as a floating platform from which to operate. The compartment 28 in addition to containing divers gear, may also be used to contain fish, shells or other items gathered by the diver for return to shore.
While the float 10 has been illustrated as a self-bailing device having a self-bailing compartment 28 and self-bailing cockpit 17, it can be used in claim waters as a canoe/kayak traveling in the same direction but slower than the wave action, this slope assists in the propulsion of the float 10.
The word scuba, as used in the specification and claims, is a coined term meaning self-contained, underwater breathing apparatus.
Having thus described the preferred embodiments of the invention, it should be understood that numerous structural modifications and adaptions may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention.
What is claimed is:
l. A skin/scuba divers float comprising a hollow semicircular elongate hull, a hollow semicircular elongate upper enclosure, said hull and said upper enclosure being secured together along the peripheral meeting edges thereof, a cockpit formed in said float and having a buttocks receiving seat forming a part thereof, form fitting leg rests for supporting the full length of the divers leg extending forwardly of said seat within said cockpit, an adjustable foot rest at the forward end of each of said leg rests, and a plurality of compartments opening through said upper enclosure within said float.
