  • Patent number: 10661866
    Abstract: A mounting system allows one or more accessories to be removably attached to a SCUBA demand regulator system. A clamp encircles a portion of an air hose subsystem, the clamp having a threaded screw extending therefrom. An accessory is threadably attached to this screw. An extender arm can be sandwiched between this attached accessory and the clamp such that the extender arm has a second threaded screw that threadably receives a second accessory thereonto. One accessory may be a buckle mount that has a mounting surface on one side and a threaded receiver that threadably attaches to one of the screws and is rotated thereonto via a lock down wheel rotatably disposed within the buckle mount. A buoyancy assist subsystem creates either neutral or positive buoyancy to the invention when accessories are mounted.
