A device for releasably connecting a weight pouch (50) to a pocket (1) in a scuba diving jacket comprising: a flat sheath (10) integrally connected to the scuba diving jacket; a latch member (40) attached to the weight pouch and comprising arms (65b,c) that are elastically deformable in the plane of the sheath and that have sides (66) tapered with respect to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the sheath to produce a snap closure when the latch member is inserted in the sheath; inward-projecting abutment means inside the sheath that engage with the ends of the arms (65b,c) when the device is closed, thereby preventing the latch member from sliding out of the sheath; means (30) for bending the arms of the latch member so as to release them from the position where they abut against the abutment means in the sheath and enable the device to be opened. The means for bending the arms (65b, c) comprise a cap (30) slidingly mounted on said latch member (40) and containing tapered projections (36) for engaging with the tapered sides (66) of the arms in order to release the ends of the arms from the abutment means in the sheath as a result of a relative movement of the cap in relation to the latch member that induces the elastic deformation of the arms. The cap (30) and the latch member are connected to the same handle (57) for inducing their relative movement by means of respective flexible connection elements (51, 56, 58), of which the one connecting the handle to the latch member is longer than the one connecting the handle to the cap, whereby a tensile force exerted on said handle first causes a relative movement of the cap with respect to the latch member inside said sheath. |
