Abstract: An inventive laminate is provided useful in forming inflatable articles, such as rafts and kayaks, automobile safety bags, air craft and life saving jackets/vests, and diving buoyancy compensator vests. The laminate includes an elastomer layer capable of repeated two-dimensional stretch and retraction. Opposed to the elastomer layer is a first substantially gas impermeable layer. The two layers are substantially continuously adhered to one another and maintained in laminated form. Buoyancy compensators formed from the laminate can be repeatedly stretched and retract to accommodate substantial volume increases due to elastic deformations in response to elevated pressures. Because the laminate is elastically deformable, lower inflation pressures can be used in an article such as a buoyancy compensator, which results in a more comfortable garment.

Abstract translation: 本发明的层压板可用于形成诸如筏子和皮划艇，汽车安全袋，飞机和救生夹克/背心的充气物品以及潜水浮力补偿器背心。 层压体包括能够重复二维拉伸和缩回的弹性体层。 与弹性体层相对的是第一基本不透气的层。 两层基本上连续地彼此粘附并保持层压形式。 由层压板形成的浮力补偿器可以被反复地拉伸和缩回，以适应由于升高的压力而产生的弹性变形引起的大量体积增加。 因为层压板是可弹性变形的，所以可以在诸如浮力补偿器的制品中使用较低的充气压力，这样可以形成更舒适的衣服。

Abstract: Diver flotation apparatus including buoyancy compensation apparatus in the back pack over the diver's back, and including an inflatable portion connected to the diver's air supply through a diver operated valve for filling the inflatable portion to achieve buoyancy compensation. The back pack incorporates internal weights, the amount and character of which can be changed to adjust the center of gravity of the diver and equipment. This allows a diver to easily adjust and maintain an optimum buoyancy and attitude relative to the water surface.

Abstract: An inventive laminate is provided useful in forming inflatable articles, such as rafts and kayaks, automobile safety bags, air craft and life saving jackets/vests, diving buoyancy compensator vests, medical therapeutic containers, waders, packaging material, inflatable boots and soles, inflatable shoes and soles, and the like. The laminate includes an elastomer layer capable of repeated two-dimensional stretch and retraction. Opposed to the elastomer layer is a first substantially gas impermeable layer. The two layers are substantially continuously adhered to one another and maintained in laminated form. Products formed from the laminate can be repeatedly stretched and retract to accommodate substantial volume increases due to elastic deformations in response to elevated pressures. Because the laminate is elastically deformable, lower inflation pressures can be used in inflatable clothing articles, such as buoyancy compensators, which results in a more comfortable garment.

Abstract: A scuba pack is disclosed that enables a user to carry a substantial back supported load with comfort and mobility. The pack has a flexible load container having a base panel for engagement on the back of a user, wherein the base panel having extensions fitting over each shoulder and around a portion of the waist of the user. The pack also has a harness disposed on the front of the user, which adjustably interconnects the extensions of the flexible load container across the front waist of the user. The harness also adjustably interconnects the shoulder extensions to the waist extensions. The harness is longitudinally flexible within a selected range, such that load forces are transmitted to the waist region while holding the load in conformity to the user without restricting body movement.
