Field of the Invention This invention pertains to the field of underwater diving helmets, and more particularly to helmets which do not require sealing to a divers body.
2. Description of the Prior Art Known prior art diving helmets have typically consisted of a heavy metal or fiberglass helmet structure having small transparent windows placed therein. These windows allow only a very restricted field of view, as well as presenting a sealing problem at the joints between the helmet structure and the windows. Moreover, these known helmets have typically been prohibitively expensive for the majority of nonprofessional divers, due largely to the cost of the materials from which the helmets have been made, and the machining and assembly steps required. Such helmets have also generally been adapted only to the use of lead as ballast, which has contributed to the expense of construction, and has made transport, and handling difficult and expensive.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION I have invented a safe and inexpensive diving helmet assembly which consists of a helmet and a detachable collar. The helmet is formed in one piece of a transparent plastic material, and is substantially dome shaped with flat portions at the front, top and sides which are preferably polished to provide substantially distortionfree viewing areas. The hollow plastic collar fits snugly around the helmet and engages a flange at the bottom of the helmet to prevent the collar from slipping off the helmet. The bottom of the helmet and collar are contoured to rest comfortably on a diver's shoulders.
My diving helmet assembly functions generally in the same manner as an open diving "bell", with air or other breathable gas being pumped under pressure from a compressor at the surface through a hose to the helmet. The pressure of the air in the helmet is maintained at the pressure of the water surrounding the helmet to thereby keep the helmet interior free of water and to properly pressurize the divers lungs. Because the pressures inside and outside the helmet are approximately equal, very little pressure stress is applied to the he]- met. Thus my diving helmet assembly is structurally suitable for safe use at substantial depths, although it is contemplated that the depth of use will be restricted to minimize other hazards to divers.
The hollow collar has an opening therein to allow concrete, sand, scrap metal, or other commonly available ballast material to be introduced into the interior of the collar. When the heavy ballast-filled collar in engaged on the helmet it counteracts the buoyancy of the air filled helmet, and maintains the helmet on the divers shoulders in a proper upright position in the water.
Because of the simple construction of the helmet and collar, these articles can be manufactured inexpensively and at high speed using plastic molding machines, and with a minimum of human labor. The helmet is tapered to allow compact stacking of the helmets and collars during transport and storage. The collar can be transported empty, to be filled later by the user with ballast material. Most of the commonly available denser than water ballast materials can be used, and expensive lead is not required for a ballast as with known prior art diving helmets.
Further objects, features and advantages of my invention will be apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings showing a preferred embodiment of a diving helmet assembly exemplifying the principles of my invention.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In the drawings:
FIG. I is a perspective view of my diving helmet assembly with the helmet and collar portions of the assembly in assembled relation.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the collar portion of the assembly of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the helmet portion of the assembly of FIG. I.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of the diving helmet assembly of FIG. 1 shown in place on the shoulder of a user.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now more particularly to the drawings, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views, my diving helmet assembly is shown generally at I0 in FIG. I. The diving helmet assembly 10 has two detachable parts, a helmet I1 and a collar 12 which fits around the helmet.
As best shown in FIG. 3, the helmet II is substantially dome shaped and is preferably composed of a high strength transparent plastic material such as cellulose acetate propionate. Use of this material also permits production of the helmet by high speed injection molding, which allows the helmets to be produced rapidly and inexpensively. A flange 13, formed integrally with the helmet 11, extends outwardly around the open bottom end of the helmet to provide a means for engaging the collar 12 on the helmet. The bottom end of the helmet and the flange 13 are contoured to generally fit a divers shoulders and rest comfortably thereon.
Although the helmet II is substantially dome shaped, the front portion 14 of the helmet is preferably formed as a flat surface to provide a primary clear viewing area without significant distortion. Two flat surfaced side portions 15 and a flat surfaced top portion 16 preferably converge from the curved portions of the helmet to the front portion 14. To provide best viewing clarity, it is preferable that the flat portions l4, l5, and I6 also be polished. Although the remaining curved portion of the helmet is not polished, it is preferably transparent to provide some additional visibility.
A hollow protrusion 17 is formed integrally with the rest of the helmet II at the upper end thereof to provide means for connecting an air hose to supply air from the exterior to the interior of the helmet II when the helmet is submerged in water. The hose connection protrusion 17 protrudes above the upper portion of the helmet II a distance sufficient to allow an air hose (not shown) to be fitted on to the protrusion. The air hose is then clamped or glued to the connection protrusion 17 to provide a secure fluid-tight fitting between the hose and the protrusion.
The collar 12 is preferably blow molded from a sturdy plastic such as linear polyethylene, and has a hollow interior. As shown in FIG. I, the collar 12 surrounds the helmet 11 when the assembly has been assembled for use. The inward facing surface 18 of the collar substantially conforms to the exterior shape of the helmet to allow the collar to fit snugly when properly positioned. The helmet flange 13 is engaged by the collar in an indentation 19 which extends around the inner edge of the bottom surface 20 of the collar. As best shown in FIG. 4, the indentation 19 allows the flange 13 to rest comfortably on a divers shoulder 24, with the bottom surface of the flange approximately even with the bottom surface 20 of the collar which is also contoured to substantially fit the shoulders of a diver.
As previously indicated, the collar 12 is hollow. and has an opening 21 through which heavy, dense ballast material 23 can be inserted to fill the interior of the collar. A plug 22 fits into and closes the opening 21 to retain the ballast material. It is anticipated that the collar will be transported and stored empty to minimize the cost of transport and handling, with the user providing the ballast as needed. The ballast 23 must necessarily be denser than water and have sufficient weight so that engagement of the ballast-filled collar on the helmet 11 will counteract the buoyancy of the air filled helmet in water and retain the helmet in place on the divers shoulders during underwater movement. It has been found that several co" only available materials are satisfactory for this purpose, as for example, concrete, heavy scrap metal, or sand. The relatively large volume of the interior of the form-fitting collar allows these inexpensive materials to be used rather than the usual lead ballast. For example, when the collar is filled with concrete ballast it will weigh approximately 40 pounds. The cost of concrete is currently approximately onetwentieth that of lead, and is normally much more readily available to the user.
The helmet 11 is formed with an upward taper from the bottom end to the top end of the helmet. This design facilitates removal of the helmet from an injection molding machine, and also allows several helmets to be stacked one over another in telescoping relation to minimize the space occupied by the helmets during transport or storage.
It is understood that my invention is not confined to the particular construction and arrangement of parts.
herein illustrated and described, but embraces all such modified forms thereof as come within the scope of the following claims.
