Patent number: 11679849Abstract: A first stage pressure regulator is provided. A valve body has an inlet and an outlet that define a pressure chamber therebetween. The valve body defines a pressure compensation chamber having an opening fluidly communicating the pressure compensation chamber with the surrounding water. The first stage pressure regulator comprises an inlet tubular union removably received into the inlet. A removable high pressure orifice body defines an orifice therethrough. The orifice body is carried by the valve body proximate the inlet. A valve seat is within the valve body.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2016Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: Johnson Outdoors Inc.Inventors: Alessandro Cigolini, Franco Solari, Corrado Cominetti

Patent number: 10772389Abstract: A tank cinch is configured to cooperate with a strap to secure a tank of compressed air to a buoyancy compensation device. The tank cinch includes an adjustable frame having a sliding member, a first cam receiver and a second cam receiver. A lever body including a first cam and a second cam is pivotably joined to the adjustable frame and is pivotable about a pivoting axis defined by the adjustable frame. The lever body is configured to fix a first end portion of the strap. The adjustable frame is configured to fix a second end portion of the strap with the sliding member when the lever is rotated about the pivoting axis towards the adjustable frame member. The cams are arranged to bear against an outermost surface of the tank and to be received in the cam receivers when the lever body is pivoted towards the adjustable frame.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2017Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: Johnson Outdoors Inc.Inventors: Jacopo Rossi, Corrado Cominetti, Bradley E.

Patent number: 9889911Abstract: A back pack for an underwater breathing gas tank is provided. The back pack includes a tank mounting structure having a front surface facing away from an underwater breathing gas tank when an underwater breathing gas tank is operably mounted to the tank mounting structure. The tank mounting structure defines a recess. The front surface defines an opening of the recess. The tank mounting structure defines a bottom surface of the recess opposite the opening in the front surface. The back pack includes a strap and a buckle. The buckle has a latched state for securing the strap in a fixed position for securing an underwater breathing gas tank to the tank mounting structure. The buckle, when in a latched state, is positioned at least partially within the recess.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2016Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Johnson Outdoors Inc.Inventors: Joseph B.

Patent number: 9434459Abstract: A first stage pressure regulator is provided. The regulator includes a valve body having an inlet and an outlet coupled by a pressure chamber. A pressure compensation chamber fluidly communicates with the surrounding water. A valve member is slidably carried by the valve body between an open state in which fluid is permitted to flow between the inlet and outlet and a closed state in which fluid is prevented from flowing between the inlet and outlet. The valve member has an expansion head that is operably acted upon by the surrounding water within the pressure compensation chamber to bias the valve member toward the open state. The regulator includes an annular insulating bushing within the compensation chamber that covers a portion of the valve body defining a portion of the pressure compensation chamber to insulate the valve body from the water within the pressure compensation chamber.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2014Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: Johnson Outdoors Inc.Inventors: Franco Solari, Alessandro Cigolini, Corrado Cominetti
