Definitions

  • the present invention relates to jackets for diving activities, and more particularly to a system for packing and transporting said jackets without bags or similar external containers, but using packing means integrated within the jacket structure.
  • the jackets for diving activities are very incumbrant and space-requiring garments, which may not easily transported and which during storage are easily subject to damages.
  • a self contained breathing apparatus comprising a compressed air cylinder, facemask and hose which when not in use are stored and carried within a case formed from an assembly of flexible sheet material.
  • the element of the case are constructed such that when it is opened and reversed it is adapted to form a garment to be worn over the torso and support the air cylinder for use.
  • the said garment is however formed from a flexible sheet material such as a plasticised polyester fabric, which can be easily folded and transformed into a case.
  • a balancing jacket is provided in which onto two areas symmetrically opposed with respect to the middle of the back portion of the jacket cooperating connecting means are applied, which connect said portions in an easily engageable and releasable way.
  • said cooperating means consist of two wings or strips of fabric joined on one of their sides to opposite sides of the jacket, and provided on their free sides with a male and a female zip element, respectively, or alternatively with other types of cooperating connecting means, such as for instance Velcro-type connecting means.
  • such cooperating means consist of two areas on the edge of the back of said jacket, said cooperating connecting means being fastened directly onto said areas.
  • Said connecting cooperating elements can be zip-type or Velcro-type elements, or automatic button or the like.
  • the numeral 1 indicates a balancing jacket for diving activities.
  • a specific type of jacket has been shown, the latter can be of any kind, such as for instance a so-called “back-mounted” jacket or a mixed jacket, or any other kind of jacket.
  • the jacket 1 is associated in a usual way with a back 2 (in the case show a stiff back, generally made of plastic).
  • the numeral 3 indicates the belt for fastening a bottle (not shown) to the back 2.
  • the jacket shown further comprises, in quite a usual way, the shoulder straps 4 and the two ventral strips.
  • Two strips or wings of fabric 6 are fastened with one of their sides, for instance by sewing, to the back portion of the jacket 1.
  • Such strips of fabric 6 extend upwards for a height substantially corresponding to the height of the jacket 1, and are provided on their free side with a zip male and female element 7, 7', respectively.
  • FIG 2 shows a first packing step of the jacket in Figure 1. As shown, in this step the jacket, after being deflated, is folded so as to assemble it tidily, folding the shoulder straps 4 forward and the ventral strips 5 on themselves, so as to assemble it substantially within the borders of the two wings 6.
  • a string 9 suitably shaped as a handle, constitutes a holding element for an easy transport of the package thus obtained.
  • the two wings 6 are advantageously folded on the sides of the back 1, and means for keeping them firmly in place can be provided for, such as for instance Velcro-type temporary fastening means, or in case of "back-mounted" jackets said wings can be fitted under the rear inflatable pocket of the jacket, or the like.
  • the jacket 1 in Figure 5 is not provided with the two side wings 6, which are replaced by two zip elements, male and female respectively, 10, 10' applied onto the outer edges of the back portion of the jacket 1 for instance by sewing.
  • the jacket packing operation shown in Figure 5 is in a first step substantially as described with reference to the step in Figure 2 concerning the embodiment in Figure 1.
  • the strips of the jacket back equipped with the zips 10, 10' are now seized and placed one beside the other, as shown in Figure 6, then the male zip element 10' is fitted into the female element 10, and by acting upon the slide 8 the zip is closed, thus completing the jacket packing operation, as shown in Figure 7.
  • zips 10, 10' can be replaced by Velcro-type connecting elements or by connecting elements with automatic buttons, or by any other connecting element that can be easily coupled and released.
  • the advantages deriving from the present invention will be evident.
  • the jacket size is minimized and its transport is made highly comfortable.
  • the belt 3 for fastening the bottle can be wrapped around the jacket after the latter has been packed, so as to close it on the front side, thus eliminating hanging elements, as shown by way of example in Figure 7.
