Definitions

  • This invention helps diver to be automatically drawn to the surface if he stays under water longer that allowed. There is a possibility of setting the safe underwater staying time for every diver individually. If the person stays under water longer that anticipated, the device which is worn as a collar or jacket is signaied to activate i.e. to inflate and cany him to the surface. The device is designed for the situation when the diver can no longer independently react and the device is the only chance for him to get to the surface and be rescued or to enable other people to help him.
  • the device is based on the principle that a person can spend a limited time under water. When a diver exceeds that limited time it is assumed that something has happened (loss of consciousness or disorientation) after which the diver is no longer able to help himself. In that case it is crucial for the device to activate and carry the diver to the surface where he will regain consciousness or where other people can identify him. There may be a variety when the device sends forth a radio or smoke signal alarming others about the accident.
  • This device is designed as a collar or jacket which can be automatically or manually inflated in order to get the diver to the surface.
  • the invention consists of an ampula or container with compressed gas, the electronic part for activating the ampula which is based on time spent under surface,. and power supplying battery.
  • the compressed gas is expanded into the collar or jacket which have a safety valve for releasing sup:erffi ⁇ r ⁇ s ⁇ gas.
  • the head of the diver is set in the best rescuing position.
  • the device is used in the following way: prior to diving the diver turns the device on, makes sure it is in working order, places it around his neck and sets the maximal underwater staying time.
  • the diver checks the connection with the base unit.
  • Fig. 1. shows a skin-diver with the device for safer diving around his neck.
  • the device is put on the neck in one step without impeding diver's motion under water.
  • Fig. 2. shows a diver drawn to the surface by the device.
  • Fig. 3. shows the device for safer diving. It consists of water-resistant housing (1) in which there are a container with compressed gas (2); the electronic part with gas valve (3), a storing or rechargeable battery (4). There is a display (5) and a switch-on button (6) on the housing. Compressed gas expands into an O-shaped tube (7), which is rolled up into a collar when deflated. There is a safety valve on the tube (8) for releasing the superfluous gas, which expands due to pressure decreasing during the emerging. The collar is fastened with the buckle (9).
  • the time is set on by the electronic device and it starts counting down form the beginning of diving until the allowed underwater staying time expires. Before the time expires the device gives a few sound signals warning the diver that the set time is up and it is time for emerging. If the person does not respond, the device is activated, the valve on the gas container is released because it is assumed there has been an accident and the diver should be taken to the surface. The device is able to transmit radio or smoke signal and warn other people. The diver can manually activate the device.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un instrument conçu sous forme de boîtier (1) activé manuellement ou automatiquement de manière à remonter un plongeur à la surface. Il est constitué d'un réceptacle renfermant du gaz comprimé (2), d'un dispositif électronique d'activation du réceptacle selon le temps défini (3) et d'une batterie d'alimentation (4). Le gaz comprimé se propage dans le boîtier (1) qui présente une soupape de sûreté permettant la libération de gaz superflu. Le boîtier gonflé favorise la flottaison du plongeur ce qui le pousse vers la surface, la tête du plongeur étant placée dans la position de sauvetage la plus adéquate.
