    A signaling device for divers (3) has along a compressed air cylinder shoulder belt (4) in the shoulder region on the shoulder belt (4) pivotally hinged tab (12) at the other free end by a closure (13, 13 ') with the shoulder belt ( 4) is releasably connected. The closure (13, 13 ') can be opened by hand or opens automatically when an alarm is triggered, e.g. when a limit set on a dive computer is exceeded. Then the tab (12) floats over the shoulder in the manner of a flared torch, especially since the tab (12) carries at the free end a signal light (14) as a rotating light. An antenna (21) of an ultrasound transmitter (20) may be provided on the lug (12) and possibly also a GPS transmitter (22) or transponder, which facilitates finding the diver (3) via water. Between the tab (12) and the shoulder belt (4) a hose (10) is clamped to a compressed air cylinder (9) carrying a reserve mouthpiece (11). This auxiliary breathing air supply is released when opening the tab (12).

    专利说明:

    The invention relates to a signaling device for divers, with a compressed air quantity or consumption indicator for breathing air, a diving depth display, preferably a dive time display and in particular a circuit for triggering an alarm, e.g. a light signal when reaching or exceeding at least one preset limit value.
    Diving as a sport as well as professional diving are activities that are subject to an increased risk. That's why extensive training is required. In addition to the handling of the equipment in stress situations, influences from the foreign environment, as well as one's own physical condition and state of health must be taken into account. Originally diver's watches were the only devices that accompany the diver into the depths to display the dive time and the depth gauge are tailored to the compressed air volume. By hand signals the communication between the divers was maintained. Today dive computers with alarm devices and automatic rescue systems are widespread, which often cause a controlled ascent or even a lifesaving emergency ascent together with airbags.
    Of course, an underwater communication in the ultrasound area is added, whereby reception buoys are used on the water surface, convert the signals in terrestrial communication frequencies and possibly settle GPS coordinates with cries for help. Since many problems are caused by mouthpieces, connecting hoses and compressed air cylinders, it is quite common to carry a small additional compressed air cylinder with hose and mouthpiece in a dive, so that sufficient air is available in the required period of time depending on the depth of the primary breathing air supply ascend controlled.
    The invention aims to provide a signaling device in the context of a diving safety system, which makes optically activatable in dependence on the actual data and the desired data of a dive computer and makes an emergency situation in addition clearly visible to the environment when the alarm continues. This is achieved with a signal device of the type described above in that a tab along a compressed air cylinder shoulder belt, this at least partially overlapping, extending from the shoulder region in the direction of the belt area, that the tab pivotally articulated in the shoulder area and at the free end a releasable closure which holds the tab parallel to the shoulder strap directly on this or on a cloth on the shoulder strap and manually by hand or automatically in case of alarm at or after exceeding one of the preset limits for release, fold up or Floating the tab is solvable, the tab carries a signal light at the free end, which is switched on when the shutter or when alarm is present. This tab is thus initially almost invisible to the body on one of the scuba tank shoulder straps. At the bottom is the signal light. In the simplest case, the diver himself, e.g. also for reasons that are not technically conditioned (ie not exceeding limits), loosen the catch at the bottom of the tab. The tab rises so that the signal light is positioned over the diver's head. There are buoyancy bodies provided at the closure end of the tab, with the lamp itself acting as a buoyant body.
    When the shutter is opened or released, the signal light is supplied with power. An incandescent or high-intensity LED flashing or glow in a signal color, the lamp is completely visible as in a rescue vehicle. Even a rotating light is electronically realized by LEDs. If a dive computer is present and limit values are set, then when a preset limit value is exceeded, a first alarm is initially triggered by the signal lamp lighting up when the tab is in contact (for example yellow signal light).
    If the diver does not respond and the limit is exceeded, then the shutter is opened by means of a switching pulse of the electronics. The signal device is activated by swiveling in its full extent and the lamp emits red light. The signaling device thus operates automatically in this case. Because the tab in the case of her
    Triggering projects upward and is completely unhindered visible, provides a development of the invention that in or on the tab an antenna for a transmitting device, in particular for an ultrasonic transmitter, for wireless information transfer under water is provided. The towering flap is therefore not only optimal for the signal light, but also for the radiation of the antenna. Via the ultrasonic transmitter, the dive partner receives a signal, whereby its signal light thereby for example lights up green. This makes it clear that he himself has no problem, but is his diving partner in an emergency situation.
    Furthermore, it is expedient if in or on the tab, preferably in the region of the free end of the tab, a position transmitter or transponder is provided which has a transmitting or receiving antenna, which is optionally performed to improve the antenna performance along the tab , This transmitter only functions on the water surface when surfacing and sends a locating signal together with the coordinates e.g. in the context of the GPS.
    A further embodiment is characterized in that the closure is designed as a magnetic closure which can be triggered electrically in the event of an alarm, and in the case of a signal for opening the closure and manually opening the closure, the ultrasound transmitting device and optionally the position transmitter or transponder can be switched on. In a simple version without automatic, the closure can be a normal Velcro. In the case of an automatic function, a lock could be used with an electromechanically retractable latch. Here, the magnetic closure has been found to be advantageous in which it is possible to turn off the holding force, for example by superimposing a foreign field and possibly cause a repulsion. After opening the closure, it may be convenient to release the tab by an additional force, e.g. Spring force to open, so not only by buoyancy forces, but deliberately and forced to move in the pivoted position and to hold there. In order to safely store the electronics as well as the power supply, it is advantageous if the circuit for triggering an alarm including the immersion depth sensors and a voltage source in the interior provide a watertight housing, for example in the form of a compressed air cylinder, and a display. are arranged on a belt next to the free end of the tab in the field of view of the diver.
    A special feature of the invention is that provided below the tab a partially covered by the tab and held parallel to the shoulder belt hose connection between a compressed air cylinder and a reserve mouthpiece and is released when folding the tab for use. If, for example, the tab is automatically released, ie the shutter is opened, the tab lifts off and rises, on the one hand to improve the visibility of the signal light and, on the other hand, to ensure unhindered, better signal radiation. In addition, after release, the tab releases the air tubing of the tubing connection so that if the primary breathing air supply fails, the divers can access the reserve mouthpiece at the free end of the tubing.
    An embodiment of the subject invention is in the
    Drawings shown.
    1 shows a diver with diving equipment in side view including the signaling device according to the invention before its activation,
    2 the diver of Fig. 1 from the front,
    Fig. 3 shows the diver of Fig. 1 with the signaling device after the release and
    4 is a view of the back of the diver of FIG .. 3
    According to Fig. 1 to 4 two compressed air cylinders 1, 2 by a diver 3 to the primary breathing air supply with the help of school 5 tergurten 4, 5, a chest belt 6 and a lap belt 7 worn. A full line indicates the hose connection to a mouthpiece 8. All pressure reducing devices or regulations for the breathing air were not shown. Like the Eig. show, is still another compressed air cylinder 9 with an air reserve for a rise, and on a hose connection 10 a reserve mouthpiece 11 is provided.
    Along the shoulder belt 4, a tab 12 is guided, which is connected at the top in the shoulder area with the shoulder belt 4 and at the lower free end of a closure 13, 13 'has, so that the tab 12 is normally parallel to the shoulder belt 4 and in the vicinity of Lap belt 7 ends. This tab 12 carries at its closure end a signal light 14, e.g. via a reed contact after opening the shutter a brightly lit LED turns on. This LED can convey different messages by changing the color (yellow: alarm 1 -red: alarm 2 - green: signal at the partner) The opening of the shutter 13, 13 'can be done manually or automatically. For this purpose, the closure 13, 13 'here, for example, designed as a magnetic closure. In the exemplary embodiment is in a waterproof housing 15 in the form of a compressed air cylinder, a battery 16 and an electronic circuit 17 for detecting data from various sensors 18 such as pressure for the depth or bottle level to detect the air supply and calculate the useful life. The circuit also has a clock and can be adjusted via a display 19. This adjustability also affects limits on the intended depth, dwell time, and respiratory management. All parameters of interest and importance to a dive are displayed by the display 19 associated with the circuit 17. If one parameter is exceeded (eg the depth of immersion), the display 19 becomes noticeable and indicates this fact by blinking the display, for example, the signal light 14 at the end of the tab 12 also lights up yellow, red, green If, for the diving depth, a further or continuous exceeding of the limit set by the diver himself is reported, then a signal from the circuit 17 reaches the closure 13, 13 '. This is caused by a superimposed magnetic field or in another. English:. Ft.... 1, so that the flap 12 floats, as shown in Figures 3 and 4. By removing the support surface on the shoulder belt 4 or from a support on the shoulder belt 4, the signal lamp 14 also illuminates.
    An ultrasonic transmitter 20 (transmitter, for example, in the range 15 kHz) in the tab 12 or in the housing 15 is activated with the signal to open the shutter 13, 13 'or to turn on the light 14 and radiates via a well-positioned antenna 21, a radio signal, for example For the instructor or companion, so that they can help if necessary. As mentioned, the LED shines green then the instructor or companion.
    The tab 12 normally covers the hose 10 of the compressed air cylinder 9 and holds it tightly against the shoulder belt 4 or a Schultergurtaufläge. As soon as the emergency situation occurs and the tab 12 is released, ie the closure 13, 13 'is opened, this emergency air supply is also available. The replacement mouthpiece 11 can be grasped and used - as shown in FIG. This allows a controlled ascent.
    After surfacing, the released tab 12 floats on the water surface. This makes a terrestrial radio connection possible in the context of global positioning systems. A GPS Positionss-22 or transponder comes into function and facilitates the search for the diver.
    The invention is available in various stages of development and is extremely helpful in connection with the diving lessons. It lets the instructor know immediately which of his students has problems and it gives the diver safety, because the dive partners are immediately informed about an emergency situation for assistance or a rescue chain is set in motion. In the simplest case, a manual release could be done by opening the shutter. If the signal light comes from the area of a magnet on the shoulder strap vis-à-vis the signal light, a reed contact closes and switches on the all-round light (light 14). The process takes place in the next
    Level when using a dive computer automatically. Likewise, the extension by the ultrasonic alarm message under water and finally the exposure of a secondary breathing air supply in connection with the release of the tab 12 is another option in a building block-like upgrading a basic version of the signaling device. The electronics of the signaling device can also interact actively with an existing buoyancy control for the control of the depth and so be used to recover a casualty.
