Especially with the underwater fish,} agd and "when diving In general, ballast belts with integrated lead weights have been used in recent times, so that the underwater swimmer or diver more easily the can reach desired depth.

It is known that such an activity involves certain dangers, and experience shows that the diver often has to swim back up very quickly from the depths to the surface of the water. The j However, swimmers are prevented when wearing a ballast belt.

The present invention is therefore aimed at creating ballast belts that are lightweight and very quick in an emergency can be solved, whereby the aforementioned danger is eliminated, directed.

The subject matter of the invention basically consists of a ballast element that is used individually or in a plurality and is set up so that it can be attached to a belt by means of a special pincer device can be attached, which can be released in a flash by simply pressing a push button. The push button is preferably in the one made of lead

Ballast weight built in. When the push button is pressed, the ballast weight is released from the belt and can fall to the bottom of the water, easing the belt worn by the diver.

In the accompanying drawing, an embodiment according to the invention is shown.

Fig. 1 shows an axial cross section through the inventive Safety weight for ballast belts together with the corresponding release button and the part of the forceps device to be fastened to the belt, the device in FIG coupled position is shown.

Fig. 2 shows a side view of the release button and the ring to be pressed in in the weight to limit the axial movement of the push button.

Fig. 3 shows an axial cross section of the separated! Lead element with inserted reinforcement sleeve.

Fig. 4 shows a partial side view of a pincer device for the quick-release fastening of a belt provided with a ballast weight.

As is clear from the drawing, the inventive safety weight an annular, out

Lead or equivalent material cast or pressed member 1. This element "has an axial Reinforcement bushing 2 made of bronze, brass or stainless steel. The bushing can be in link 1 be anchored in any way and preferably has one or more outer Verankeruigsnuten for this purpose 3. Inside its own through hole, the sleeve 2 has some shoulders for a correct one Insertion of the organs of the device for fastening and quickly releasing the weight, the latter being the Represent the main feature of the invention.

The fastening element consists of circular, cup-like pliers 4 with a relatively wide contact surface. In the middle of the bottom of the pliers is a threaded hole for screwing in the fastening screw 5 is provided, which is previously passed through a disc 6 and through the belt material 7 (Fig. 4). Above the pliers 4 is ground obliquely to the outside up to a shoulder created by the annular groove 8 (Fig.4). The shoulder serves as a snap-in element inside the with a matching protruding ring 9 (Fig. 3) provided member or weight 1. To the preferably to give fastening pliers 4 made of plastic material the necessary elasticity, can

the same can be provided with a plurality of radial incisions 10 guided to a certain depth.

In the upper part of the reinforcement sleeve 2 of the weight 1 is an axially movable cylindrical push button 11 intended. The latter has a circular depression at the bottom, the beveled inner edge of which has the ability to sits on the upper, also beveled part of the fastening pliers 4 to be placed. Falling out the push button 11 from the sleeve 2 is prevented by a ring 12 inserted in the upper part of the sleeve, care must be taken that the push button 11 still executes a certain axial movement can. It is further provided that the push button over the upper surface of the weight element 1 does not protrudes to prevent accidental triggering.

Looking at Fig. 1, it is easy to understand how to open the connecting device in an emergency, i.e. the quick release of the weight 1 from the ballast belt 7 can take place. The push button 11 simply has to be pressed inwards into the weight 1, whereby the lower recess of the push button opens the upper beveled part of the pliers 4 sets. As a result, the circumference of the pliers 4 is concentric inward

pressed and the outer diameter reduced, which leads to the loosening of the connection and the release of the weight 1 leads.

To fix the weight on the belt again, it is sufficient to place the same on the fastening pliers and press on them. This causes the pliers to snap into the corresponding Seat of the weight and holds it tight.

The use of the ballast weight according to the invention can of course be carried out according to the requirements, a single weight or multiple weights can be used. Also can while maintaining the described embodiment of the fastening elements The outer shape of the weight can also be different instead of circular, such as hexagonal, octagonal, etc. Furthermore, the weight element 1 can also be provided with an external protective skin made of plastic material, e.g. in the shrinking process, be provided. The sleeve 2 can also be made of robust plastic material, with as reinforcement against a possible deformation caused by impacts, the weight element 1 with an or several embedded metal rings can be provided.
