Abstract
A device to facilitate weight operation in a Buoyancy Control Device (BCD) is described. The device may include a tubular body made from waterproof fabrics. The tubular body may have an exterior, a top opening, and a bottom opening. The device may include a semi-rigid tab and a pair of fastening assemblies attached to the exterior of the tubular body. The top opening may have boning that supports the top opening in an open state. The top end of the semi-rigid tab is fixed to the exterior and is close to the top opening of the tubular body, the bottom end of the semi-rigid tab is in contact with the exterior as a result of a rigidity of the semi-rigid tab. The pair of fastening assemblies are positioned on opposite sides of the semi-rigid tab.

A weight pocket liner, comprising:
- a tubular body made from waterproof fabrics, wherein the tubular body comprises an exterior, a top opening, and a bottom opening;
- a semi-rigid tab attached to the exterior of the tubular body;
- and
- a pair of fastening assemblies attached to the exterior of the tubular body;
- wherein:
- the top opening comprises boning that supports the top opening in an open state;
- the semi-rigid tab comprises a top end and a bottom end, wherein:
- the top end is fixed to the exterior and is close to the top opening of the tubular body,
- the bottom end is in contact with the exterior as a result of a rigidity of the semi-rigid tab, and
- the bottom end is lifted away from the exterior by flexing when a lifting force is applied and automatically closes back in contact with the exterior when the lifting force disappears;
- the pair of fastening assemblies are positioned on opposite sides of the semi-rigid tab;
- the semi-rigid tab and the pair of fastening assemblies are parallel to each other and extended between the top opening and the bottom opening of the tubular body;
- and
- the weight pocket liner is for a buoyancy control device (BCD) to facilitate insertion and removal of weights.
