Abstract: A buoyancy compensator assembly for a diver is provided with a vest having an inner gas impermeable layer adapted to face a wearer and a congruently shaped opposing gas impermeable outer layer. The peripheral edges of the inner and outer layers are sealingly bonded to each other. The vest has an opening through a back portion of the vest. A backpack for removably retaining a longitudinally extending breathing gas tank has a baseplate generally disposed within the opening. Attached to the periphery of the baseplate is an edge. The edge is disposed between and integrally bonded to the inner and outer layers whereby the layers form a chamber to be selectively inflated to adjust the buoyancy of the diver. A restraining sheet is located between and alternately attached to the inner layer and outer layer to form aligned bands. The sheet forces the inner layer to curve inward about the sides of the diver when the chamber is inflated. The backpack is constructed so that when the breathing gas tank is strapped onto the backpack the baseplate curves to fit about the back of the diver.

Abstract translation: 用于潜水员的浮力补偿器组件设置有背心，该背心具有适于面向佩戴者的内部气体不可渗透层和一致的相对气体不可渗透的外层。 内层和外层的外围边缘彼此密封地结合。 背心通过背心的背部开口。 用于可移除地保持纵向延伸的呼吸气体罐的背包具有通常设置在开口内的基板。 附着在底板的外围是一个边缘。 边缘设置在内层和外层之间并且整体地结合到内层和外层，由此这些层形成要选择性地膨胀的室以调节潜水员的浮力。 限制片位于内层和外层之间并交替地附接到内层和外层以形成对准的带。 当室膨胀时，片材迫使内层围绕潜水员的侧面向内弯曲。 背包的构造使得当呼吸气罐被绑在背包上时，底板弯曲以适应潜水员的后部。

Abstract: Door gap seals and seal assemblies for over road trailers and other over road cargo carriers are disclosed herein. An over road trailer configured in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes a door rotatably mounted to a container body proximate an opening. The door moves between a closed position in which the door at least partially covers the opening, and an open position in which the door is spaced apart from the opening to form a gap therebetween. The over road trailer further includes a seal attached to at least one of the door and the container body. The seal is at least partially compressed and/or deflected between the door and the container body to seal the gap when the door is in the open position.
