Abstract
A scuba mask which can be easily and quickly repositioned when the diver descends into deep water, wherein the pressure change causes the scuba mask to become loose. The coupling member between the fabric body portion and the adjustable straps is flared, increasing its surface area, and allowing any tension created within the scuba mask strap, during use, to be equally distributed throughout the mask.
Claims19
A resilient adjustable strap member for use in manufacturing a scuba mask strap, the adjustable strap member comprising an elongate member having a flared section, located adjacent one end thereof, and a tapered end, located adjacent an opposed second end thereof,
- the flared section supporting a coupling member, the coupling member comprising an elongate, flared body portion which is integrally formed with a thickened body portion, and an elongate slot being provided in the coupling member for coupling the adjustable strap member to a body portion for manufacturing a scuba mask strap, and
- a first surface of the adjustable strap member being provided with a plurality of equally spaced apart ribs.
A scuba mask strap comprising:
- an elongate head portion having a relatively wide central area and opposed first and second narrower sections;
- a pair of resilient adjustable strap members each having a flared section, located adjacent one end thereof, and each the flared section of the adjustable strap members being securely fastened to one of the first and second narrower sections of the head portion;
- and
- each the flared section of the pair of adjustable strap members being provided with an aperture, and a continuous loop passing through each aperture and the continuous loop being permanently fastened to one of the first and second narrower sections of the head portion to form the scuba mask strap.
A resilient adjustable scuba mask strap comprising:
- an elongate head portion having a relatively wide central area and opposed first and second narrower sections;
- an elongate adjustable first strap member having a flared section, located adjacent one end thereof, and a tapered end, located adjacent an opposed second end thereof;
- the flared section of the adjustable first strap member supporting a coupling member with an elongate slot being provided in the coupling member for coupling the adjustable first strap member to the first narrower section of the head portion via a fabric loop, and a first surface of the adjustable first strap member being provided with a plurality of equally spaced apart ribs;
- and
- an elongate adjustable second strap member having a flared section, located adjacent one end thereof, and a tapered end, located adjacent an opposed second end thereof;
- the flared section of the adjustable second strap member supporting a coupling member with an elongate slot being provided in the coupling member for coupling the adjustable second strap member to the second narrower section of the head portion via a fabric loop, and a first surface of the adjustable second strap member being provided with a plurality of equally spaced apart ribs.
