System for rapid release of a weight

Abstract

System for rapid release of a weight usable by a diver, comprising: said weight (2); a housing (3) constrainable to the diver and in which the weight (2) is placed; said housing (3) comprising an extraction opening (30) for extracting the weight (2) from the housing (3); an anchorage (4) and a seat (5) in which the anchorage (4) may be positioned, said seat (5) being constrained to the housing (3); the anchorage (4) is constrained to the weight (2). The anchorage (4) is removable from the seat (5) to allow the removal of the weight (2). The seat (5) has a first inlet/outlet mouth (511) for the anchorage (4) which is at least partly turned not towards the extraction opening (30) for extracting the weight (2) from the housing (3), but in the opposite direction.

1 . A system for rapid release of a weight usable by a diver, comprising:
 said weight ( 2 );   a housing ( 3 ) constrainable to the diver and in which the weight ( 2 ) is placed; said housing ( 3 ) comprising an extraction opening ( 30 ) for extracting the weight ( 2 ) from the housing ( 3 );   an anchorage ( 4 ) and a seat ( 5 ) in which the anchorage ( 4 ) may be positioned, said seat ( 5 ) being constrained to the housing ( 3 ); said anchorage ( 4 ) being constrained to the weight ( 2 );   
       the anchorage ( 4 ) being removable from the seat ( 5 ) to allow the removal of the weight ( 2 ); 
       characterised in that the seat ( 5 ) has a first inlet/outlet mouth ( 511 ) for the anchorage ( 4 ); at least a part of the first mouth ( 511 ) being turned not towards the extraction opening ( 30 ) for extracting the weight ( 2 ) from the housing ( 3 ), but in the opposite direction. 
     
     
         2 . The system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a means ( 6 ) for reciprocally connecting the weight ( 2 ) and the anchorage ( 4 ); the reciprocal connection means ( 6 ), in a configuration in which said anchorage ( 4 ) is constrained to the seat ( 5 ), extends at least in part outside the housing ( 3 ), away from the extraction opening ( 30 ), and passes externally over the housing ( 3 ) until reaching said seat ( 5 ). 
     
     
         3 . The system according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the connection means ( 6 ) comprises:
 a first connection strap ( 61 );   a second connection strap ( 62 ); one of the first and the second strap ( 61 ,  62 ) being elastic, and the other one having a greater length.   
     
     
         4 . The system according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the anchorage ( 4 ) is devoid of deformable teeth for coupling to the seat ( 5 ). 
     
     
         5 . The system according to  claim 1 , characterised in that said seat ( 5 ) comprises a first projection ( 51 ) which identifies a first cavity ( 510 ) wherein the anchorage ( 4 ) is intended to be inserted. 
     
     
         6 . The system according to  claim 5 , further comprising a second projection ( 52 ) which identifies a second cavity ( 520 ); the first and second cavities ( 510 ,  520 ) having, respectively, said first inlet/outlet mouth ( 511 ) for the anchorage ( 4 ) and a second inlet/outlet mouth ( 521 ) for the anchorage ( 4 ); said second mouth ( 521 ) being turned not towards the opening ( 30 ) for extracting the weight ( 2 ) from the housing ( 3 ), but in the opposite direction. 
     
     
         7 . The system according to  claim 3 , characterised in that said seat ( 5 ) comprises a first projection ( 51 ) which identifies a first cavity ( 510 ) wherein the anchorage ( 4 ) is intended to be inserted;
 the system comprising a second projection ( 52 ) which identifies a second cavity ( 520 ); the first and second cavities ( 510 ,  520 ) having, respectively, said first inlet/outlet mouth ( 511 ) for the anchorage ( 4 ) and a second inlet/outlet mouth ( 521 ) for the anchorage ( 4 ); said second mouth ( 521 ) being turned not towards the opening ( 30 ) for extracting the weight ( 2 ) from the housing ( 3 ), but in the opposite direction.   
     
     
         8 . The system according to  claim 7 , characterised in that said anchorage ( 4 ) extends externally transversely to said first strap ( 61 ) and projects externally to the profile of said first strap ( 61 ); said anchorage ( 40 ) comprising a first and a second end ( 41 ,  42 ) insertable respectively in the first and second cavities ( 510 ,  520 ). 
     
     
         9 . The system according to  claim 1 , characterised in that said anchorage ( 4 ) comprises a bar ( 40 ); said bar ( 40 ) being a single monolithic body and having a longitudinal extent along a single direction ( 44 ). 
     
     
         10 . The system according to  claim 5 , characterised in that the anchorage means ( 6 ) comprises an elastic string which, in order to be constrained to the seat ( 5 ), is inserted into first cavity ( 510 ). 
     
     
         11 . A garment for underwater diving comprising a release system ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 .
