Diver's Backpack

US Patent:
6295984, Oct 2, 2001
Filed:
Aug 13, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/374197
Inventors:
Payal Patel - Friendswood TX
International Classification:
B63C 1102, A61M 1500
US Classification:
12820127
Abstract:
This disclosure is directed to a backpack comprising a frame with straps and surrounding side wall for easy attachment on a diver. A first gas storage tank stores either oxygen or air, which is input through an inlet line. With a pressure regulator, it delivers a flow of gas to feed the diver while diving. As the pressure drops in the gas tank, a secondary source of oxygen is then operated and delivers a flow of oxygen to the diver so that the diver is able to receive supplemental oxygen stored in the gas storage tank formed by electric current flowing through a pair of spaced terminals. The terminals form oxygen by disassociation of water. The oxygen is bubbled upwardly in a chamber, pass though a hydrophobic valve, delivered into the gas storage tank, and supplements the oxygen supply.
