(326 Mount Hope Ave., Dover, NJ.) Filed June 3, 1960, Ser. No. 33,788 Claims. (Cl. 182-3) This invention relates to harness suitable for use by skin divers and, more particularly, to such subject to quick release by the user so as to be free from the apparatus carried thereby.
In the art of diving and, more particularly, that type called skin diving in which self-contained underwater breathing apparatus, called Scuba, is carried by the diver, it is important for the wearer to be able to quickly get free from the apparatus, as in case of emergency. In accordance with my invention, I have provided means for without complications quickly freeing the harness from the diver.
An object of my invention is to provide a harness suitable for use by skin divers, comprising straps or belts by means of which the self-contained underwater breathing apparatus is attached to the diver, which straps or belts are connected to a plate disposed in the front of the body of the user and from which plate said straps may be quickly released to free the user for uninhibited svw'mming or other activity.
Another object of my invention is to provide a quick release latching device for the shoulder and waist straps of such harness and another quick release latching device for use with the weight belt, if a weight is carried, and which is operable independently of the shoulder and waist strap release.
These and other objects and advantages will become apparent from the following detailed description when taken with the accompanying drawings. It will be understood that the drawings are for purposes of illustration and do not define the scope or limits of the invention, reference being had for the latter purpose to the appended claims.
In the drawings, wherein like reference characters denote like parts in the several views:
FIGURE :1 is a perspective view of a harness of the Scuba type Worn by a diver and embodying my invention, the users finger being illustrated in place for a pressure release of the harness.
FIGURE 2 is a fragmentary exploded view illustrating the front elements and the fastening means of the harness.
FIGURE 3 is a fragmentary elevational view, similar to FIGURE 2, but showing the front elements of said harness assembled and latched together.
FIGURE 4 is a fragmentary horizontal sectional view on the line IVIV of FIGURE 3, in the direction of the arrows.
FIGURE 5 is a fragmentary horizontal sectional view on the line V-V of FIGURE 3, in the direction of the arrows.
FIGURE 6 is a vertical sectional view on the line VI-VI of FIGURE 2, in the direction of the arrows, except that the lower catch is shown'in side elevation.
FIGURE 7 is a view corresponding generally to FIG- URE 3, but showing a modification.
FIGURE 8 is a fragmentary horizontal sectional view on the line VIIIVIII of FIGURE 7, in the direction of the arrows.
FIGURE 9 is an exploded view of front elements of a modified form of harness.
Referring to the drawings in detail, and first considering the embodiment of my invention illustrated in FIG- URES 1 to 6, inclusive, there is shown a harness of the Scuba type, generally designated 11, only the front portions of which are illustrated. The back portions and the apparatus carried by the harness may be conventional. The front elements of the harness comprise a back plate 12, called such because it is a backing for the other elements in the front of the harness, although it is worn at the front of the user, generally designated .13, as viewed in FIGURE 1.
This back plate 12 has unreleasably connected thereto the front end portion of a crotch strap or belt 14, as by passing through a lower slot or aperture 15 in said plate, and secured upon itself, as indicated at 16, as by sewing or other suitable means. The other elements of the harness comprise a left shoulder strap or belt 17, at the front portion of which is connected, as in a manner similar to the connection between the belt 14 and the plate 12, a hook plate 18, the free end portion of which is curved from the body portion or formed, as indicated at 19, to connectingly hook under a latch pin 21. The pin 21 may be the only latch pin on the plate, although in the embodiment of FIGURES 2 and 3 it is the upper of two latch pins, the other of which is designated 22.
The right shoulder strap 23 is also similarlyprovided with a hook plate 24, the free end portion of which is curved from the body portion or formed, as indicated at 25, to lie below the hook portion 19 and connectingly hook under the pin 21, like the portion 19 of the plate 18. The left waist strap 26 is likewise similarly equipped with a hook plate 27, the free end portion of which is curved from the body portion, as indicated at 28, to lie below the hook portion 25 and connectingly hook under the pin 21. This plate 27, as shown in FIGURE 3, is desirably extensive enough to partially overlap plate 18, as indicated at 29, thereby bringing said plate. forward an amount equivalent to the thickness of the plate 18 and necessitating a somewhat greater curvature from the plane of the body portion to provide the curved portion 28 which underlies the same pin 21 as the curved portion 19.
In the same way, the right hand waist strap 31 is similarly provided with a hook plate 32, the free end portion of which is curved, as indicated at 33, to lie below the hook portion 28 and connectingly hook under the pin 21. This plate 32 also is desirably extensive enough to partially overlap plate 24, as indicated at 34, thereby bringing it forward an amount equivalent to the thickness of the plate 24 and necessitating a somewhat greater curvature from the plane of the body portion to provide the curved portion 33.
The latch 21 in the present embodiment is connected to the plate 12 by means of a pivot pin 35 extending through the lower end portion thereof and through laterally-spaced lugs or ears 36 and 37, extending outwardly from said plate The free end of the pin 21 is desirably beveled, as indicated at 38, and notched, as indicated at 39. The notch is adapted to receive the lower edge portion of a catch 41, as viewed in FIGURE 6. Said catch comprises a body 42 from which flanges or lugs 43, 44, extend at opposite side edges and are ape-rtured to receive a pivot pin 45. The pin 45 passes through lug portions 46 outstanding from the face of the plate 12, and embraced between the flanges 43 and 44 of the catch 41.
Surrounding this pin 45 is a helically coiled spring 47, tails at the end portions of which respectively press on the plate 12 and the body 42 of the catch 41, to hold said catch in the position illustrated in FIGURE. 6. Here its body portion 42 is stopped against further counterclockwise movement by engagement with the upper end portions 43 of the lug portions 46, and also received in the notch 39 of the pin 21. It also overlies the beveled portion 38 to hold said pin 21 in the position illustrated in FIGURE 6; that is, sufiiciently close to the plate 12 to 3 therefrom until release of said pin. When in such position, the hook plates, if interlocked therewith, are in the positions of FIGURE3, that is, they may be then held lockedwith respect to said plate 12, subject'to release only upon swinging said catch from the position of FIGURE 6 in a clockwise direction, against the pressure of the spring 47, to free the upper end of said pin 21, and
allow it to swing outwardly and away from the plate.
The foregoing isa description of the basic quick release harness of my invention and which may be used Without any weight strap; However, it is also desirable to have the catch 41' protected from unintentional release. For such purpose I desirably have a curved catch guard flange 49 outstanding from the front face of the plate 12 to a place slightly above or outward of the position of the catch 41, as viewed in FIGURE 6. Release of said catch is then possible only upon pushing inwardly thereon between the depending or end elements of said flange. An object engaging the flange 49, but not extending beyond the upper or'outer edge thereof will not serve to release the catch.
If it is desired to use a weight in connection with the harness 11, then I make the back plate 12 somewhat longer than would otherwise be necessary and employ a second latch pin 22, as shown most clearly in FIGURES 2 to 6, inclusive. With said second pin I connectthe left hook plate 51 which is connected to a weight belt, not shown, in a manner similar to the connection of the other hook plates to their respective belts. The free end portion of said plate 51 is curved from the body portion, or formed, as indicated at 52 to hook under the pin 22. The right weight strap, not shown, is also similarly provided with a hook plate 53, the free end portion of which is curved from the body portion, or formed, as indicated at 54 to lie below the hook portion 52 and connectingly hook under the pin 22, like the portion 52 of the plate 51.
The latch 22, in the present embodiment, is connected to the plate 12 by means of a pivot pin 55 extending 'thru the upper end portion thereof and through laterally spaced lugs or ears 56, 57, extending outwardly from said plate. The free end of the pin 22 is desirably beveled and notched like the pin 21. The notch is adapted to receive the upper edge portion of a catch 58 as viewed in FIGURE 6. Said catch comprises a'body 59 from which flanges or lugs 61, 62, extend at opposite side edges and are apertured to receive a pivot pin 63. The pin 63 passes thru lug portions 64 outstanding from the face of plate 12 and embraced between the flanges 61 and 62 of the catch 58.
Surrounding the pin 63 is a helicallycoiled spring 65, tails at the end portions of which respectively press on the plate 12 and the body 59 of the catch 58 to hold Said catch in the position illustrated in FIGURE 6. Here its body portion 59 is stopped against further clock wise movement by engagement with the upper end portions 66 of the lug portions 64 and also received in the notch of the pin 22. The catch body portion 59 also overlies the beveled pin portion to hold said pin 22, as illustrated in FIGURE 6, that is sufficiently close to the plate 12 to prevent the associated hook plates from being pulled therefrom until release of said pin. When in such position, the hook plates 51 and 53, if interlocked therewith, are in the positions of FIGURE 3. That is, said hook plates may be then held locked with respect to the plate 12, subject to release only upon swinging said catch 58.from the position of FIGURE 6 in a counter clockwise direction against the pressure of the spring 65 to free the lower end portion of said pin 21 and allow said pin to swing outwardly and away from the plate.
It is also desirable, as in connection with the catch 41, to have the catch 58 protected from unintentional release. For such purpose, I desirably have a curved catch guard flange 67 outstanding from the front face of the plate 12 to a plane slightly above or outside of the position of the catch 58, as viewed in FIGURE 6. Release of said catch is then. possible only upon pushing inwardly thereon between the upstanding or end elements of said flange. An object engaging the flange 67, but not extending beyond the upper or outer edge thereof will not serve to release said catch 58.
Referring now to the embodiment of my invention as illustrated in FIGURES 7 and 8, a construction is there shown which is similar to that of FIGURES 1 to 6, inclusive, except that only one pin 21a serves for holding all of the hook plates, and the hooks of the shoulder and waist straps extend at each side from a single plate. As in the embodiment preceding, the back plate, 12a in this instance, has unreleasably connected thereto the front end portion of a crotch stnap or belt, not shown, as by passing thru the lower slot or aperture 15:: in said plate, and secured upon itself as in the preceding embodiment. The other elements of the harness comprise a left shoulder strap and a left Waist strap, not shown, connected respectively as through the upper and lower slots illustrated therein to a left hook plate 18a. In the present instance, however, said hook plate has two free end portions which are curved from the body portion, or formed as indicated at 19a and 28a, to connectingly hook under the latch pin 21a.
In a similar way, the right shoulder strap, not shown, and the right waist strap, not shown, are connected to a single book plate 24a, as by having the end portions pass thru the respective upper and lower slots shown in said plate. In the present instance the right hook plate 24a has two free end portions which are curved from the body portion, or formed, as indicated at 25a and 33a, to lie under the hook portions and 28a, respectively, and connectingly hook under the pin 21a, like the portions 19:: and 28a of the plate 18a.
If a weight is employed, a weight strap, not shown, has at its front ends a left hook plate 51a and a right hook plate 53a having, respectively, portions 52a and 54a formed to lie one under the other between the hook portions 25a and 28a, and connecting hook under the pin 21a, like the portions of the hook plates 18a and 24a previously described. The plate portion of the hook plate 51a overlaps the hook plate 18a and the plate portion of the hook plate 53a overlaps the hook plate 24a, as illustrated. Except as specifically described in connection with the present embodiment, the same may correspond with the first embodiment.
Referring now to the embodiment of my invention as illustrated in FIGURE 9, a construction of the double hook plates 18b and 24b is illustrated which is similar to that of the hook plates 18a and 24a of FIGURES 7 and 8, except that in this instance there is contemplated no weight. Thus a single pin, like the pin 21a only shorter, may be employed and the respective curved portions 1% and 28b on the plate 18b, and 25b and 33b of the plate 24b may be closer together so as to merely intermesh and lie below corresponding portions of one another, rather than allow a space therebetween for the reception of curved portions of hook plates of a weight belt. Except as specifically described in connection with the present embodiment, the same may correspond with FIGURES 7 and 8.
From the foregoing disclosure, it will be seen that I have provided a harness for skin diving or the like, which may be quickly released to avoid impeding the diver in case of emergency. Inasmuch 'as this harness may be used in fresh or salt water, the parts are sufliciently large for the necessary strength and desirably constructed of metal such as stainless steel, which is not materially corroded in such water. The springs for actuating the catches are formed of such metal and of such strength that, while the catches are readily releasable upon pressing a finger thereagainst, they are not subject to unintentional release, as might occur if they were too weak and subject during swimming to movement upon the mere flow of water thereagainst.
The beveling of the latch pin, or pins, may be such, and its or their relationship with the edge of the catch body associated therewith, that after the assembly of the hook plates is made, the latching of each pin may be effected by a mere pressure thereon until the beveled portion pushes its catch aside and, at the end of the bevel, the catch snaps into the notch thereabove and holds the pin in locked position.
The assembly of the parts, in the embodiment of FIG- URES l to 6, inclusive, is desirably from the top down. That is, the plate 18 is first placed in position, then the plate 24, then the plate 27, then the plate 32 and, if used, then the plate 51 and then the plate 53. In the embodiment of FIGURES 7 and 8, the plate 18a is desirably first applied, then the plate 24a, then the plate 51a and then the plate 53a, and the assembly latched in place by closing the latch pin 21a thereover and latching it in position under the catch 41a.
Having now described the invention in detail in accordance with the requirements of the Patent Statutes, those skilled in this art will have no difliculty in making changes and modifications in the individual parts or their relative assembly in order to meet specific requirements or conditions. Such changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention, as set forth in the following claims.
