DIVING EQUIPMENT

摘要

The invention relates to diving equipment, comprising a compressed air bottle (1) which is connected to a breathing apparatus, and an inflatable jacket (2) via which buoyancy can be balanced by the jacket (2) in normal operation being connected to the compressed air bottle (1) in order to be inflated or to an outlet in order to let off air. Furthermore, a monitoring device (8) is provided, which can be activated via a control valve (23) as a function of a surrounding water pressure and has a time monitoring unit (14) which, after the expiry of a defined time and in the event of the absence of breathing activity in the breathing apparatus, changes to emergency operation and activates an emergency valve (9) via a control line (12), which connects the jacket (2) to the compressed air bottle (1) and therefore forces inflation of the jacket (2). In order now to permit the simplest possible manual influencing of the functions of the control device (8), at least one regulating valve is provided, via the respective actuation of which during a dive the monitoring device (8) and/or the control valve (23) can be influenced. In the event of manual activation in normal operation, the jacket (2) is inflated via the inflation valve (3), and the compressed air is let off via the outlet valve (4).
