Abstract
Electric Propulsion system supported by a special usable harness slinging from scuba divers, deep-sea divers or simple swimmers, advantageously fed by a sophisticated system of rechargeable batteries, inserted inside several united watertight containers between them. The innovative structure, allow to all specialized operators to move forward underwater even if the immersions will be made in depth and for prolonged for long time periods, through the use of a motorized propulsion module. Another characteristic of the system is that it will allow a user to move and be operated in complete freedom and under any condition.
Claims18
An underwater propulsion system for propelling a user through the water, comprising:
- a harness having at least two hooks for securing said harness around the user;
- a power supply system having at least one watertight container attachable to said harness, wherein said watertight container being adapted to receive a removable power source;
- at least one water jet removably attachable to said harness, wherein said water jet being electrically connected to said power source;
- and
- a watertight switch electrically connected to said power source and said water jet;
- wherein said harness defines multiple reinforced holes adapted to receive a fastener therethrough.
An underwater propulsion system, comprising:
- a harness adapted to be worn on the body of a user, said harness having at least two hooks for securing said harness around the user, wherein said harness features at least one reinforced hole;
- a power supply system having at least one watertight container having at least two watertight connecting holes located on the exterior surface of said container, said watertight container being adapted to receive a removable power source therein;
- at least one water jet removably attachable to said harness, said water jet being electrically connected to said power source;
- a watertight switch electrically connected to said power source and said water jet;
- a watertight box for enclosing the electrical connections of said power source, said switch, and said water jet, said box being removably attachable to said harness;
- and
- at least one connecting interstice being removably connected to said power supply system and said harness.
An underwater propulsion system, comprising:
- a harness adapted to be releasably worn on the body of a user, said harness having at least two hooks for securing said harness around the user, and a plurality of reinforced holes;
- a power supply system having a plurality of watertight containers having an open top, a sealing ring located adjacent said open top, at least two watertight connecting cables located on the exterior surface of said container, and a cap adapted to cover said open top and said sealing ring to produce a watertight connection;
- a power source having electrical contacts, said power source being adapted to be received within said watertight container and electrically connected to said connecting cables;
- at least one individual staggered section for connecting at least two watertight containers together, whereby multiple watertight containers can be interconnect together to form an array;
- at least one connecting interstice, said connecting interstice being removably connected to said power supply system and said harness;
- at least one water jet removably attachable to said harness, said motorized propulsion module being adapted to receive a fastener inserted through said reinforced holes for securing said water jet to said harness, said water jet being electrically connected to said power source;
- a watertight switch electrically connected to said power source and said water jet, said switch having a strap adapted to be wrapped around the back of the hand of the user for securing said switch to the palm of the user;
- and
- a watertight box for enclosing the electrical connections of said power source, said switch, and said water jet, said box being removably attachable to said harness.
