DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(5) Referring to the drawings, elements with identical function and mode of operation are each provided with the same reference number in FIGS. 1 through 3.

(6) An inner side 18 of a basic body 12 of a diving apparatus 10 with three holding elements 40 and with a display line 34 in a first arrangement A1 is shown in a perspective view in FIG. 1. The diving apparatus 10 according to the present invention has three holding elements 40, wherein two holding elements 40 are arranged parallel to one another and a third holding element 40 is arranged at an angle, here 90?, to the first two holding elements 40. The third holding element 40 is arranged at a holding element mount (counter-holding element) 42 and is, for example, mounted in a rotatable and/or displaceable manner at this holding element mount. The first two holding elements 40 are arranged and detachably fastened in a fixed and nonrotatable manner in a holding element mount 42 each. Another holding element mount 42 is not used in the arrangement A1 shown. The display line 34 of the display device 30 is detachably fastened in the three holding elements 40 and is thus arranged in a first arrangement A1 in the basic body 12 of the diving apparatus 10, which basic body 12 is configured as a housing. The display line 34 of the display device 30 is detachably fastened on the inner side 18 of the basic body in the holding elements 40. The display line 34 is guided through the opening 14 of the basic body 12 on the outer side 16 of the basic body 12. The display instrument 32 of the display device 30 is arranged at the free end of the display line 34 and is located on the outer side 16 of the basic body 12 of the diving apparatus 10. The diving apparatus 10 has, moreover, a pressure reducer 22, a tank interface 20 and a mouthpiece interface 24. The pressure reducer 22 is arranged in a gas path of the diving apparatus 10 between the tank interface 20 and the mouthpiece interface 24 for reducing a gas pressure of the breathing air. The basic body 12 further has a guide element 44 in the form of a guide groove for the guiding and/or fastening of the display line 34 at the basic body 12. The guide element 44 is configured monolithically with the basic body 12, especially with a basic body 12 configured as a housing. The display line 34 of the diving apparatus 10 according to the present invention thus has a free section 36 and a fastened section 38, wherein the fastened section 38 can be produced from a part of the free section 36 due to the detachable fastening of the display line 34 at the holding elements 40, wherein the three holding elements 40 are arranged in the basic body 12 such that the length of the free section 34 can be shortened and the fastened section 38 can be produced and/or lengthened due to the detachable fastening of the display line 34 at the holding elements 40. The first arrangement A1 being shown in FIG. 1 is configured for diving with the diving apparatus 10 according to the present invention in a chest-carrying method and the display line 34 of the display device 30 is advantageously fastened and reduced in length outside of the basic body 12 of the diving apparatus 10, so that hazardous situations, for example, an entanglement of the display line 34 are avoided and/or reduced.

(7) The diving apparatus from FIG. 1, with the display line 34 in a second arrangement A2, is shown in a perspective view in FIG. 2. The display line 34 of the display device 30 is detached from the holding elements 40 and oriented in a second arrangement A2. Consequently, the display line 34 no longer has a fastened section 38 according to the present invention and the length of the free section 36 comprises the entire length of the display line 34, as a result of which the display line 34 protrudes farther from the basic body 12 of the diving apparatus 10, which basic body is configured as a housing, and the display instrument 32 is arranged at a spaced location from the basic body 12 of the diving apparatus 10. The arrangement A2 shown in FIG. 2 is configured for diving with the diving apparatus 10 according to the present invention in a back-carrying method. Of course, it is possible to reduce and/or to increase the length of the free section 36 and/or of the fastened section 38 in some sections between the shown arrangements A1 and A2 by the display line 34 being detachably fastened in one or more holding elements 40.

(8) A diving system 100 with the display line 34 of the diving apparatus 10 in a first arrangement A1 and in a sketched second arrangement A2 is shown in a perspective view in FIG. 3. The diving system 100 is shown in comparison to FIGS. 1 and 2, as an example, from an opposite outer side 16 of the basic body 12 of the diving apparatus 10. The diving system 100 has a breathing air tank 90 and a mouthpiece 92. The display line 34 of the display device 30 is shown in a first arrangement A1 for diving with the diving apparatus 10 according to the present invention in a chest-carrying method. A second arrangement A2 is suggested in a sketched manner, wherein the second arrangement A2 is configured for diving with the diving apparatus 10 according to the present invention in a back-carrying method. The display instrument 32 of the display device 30 of the first arrangement A1 is stowed in a stowing bracket 60 on the outer side 16 of the basic body 12 of the diving apparatus 10. A display instrument 32 of the display device 30 of the second arrangement A2 is usually stowed in a carrying system of the diving system 100, which carrying system is not considered in more detail here.

(9) While specific embodiments of the invention have been shown and described in detail to illustrate the application of the principles of the invention, it will be understood that the invention may be embodied otherwise without departing from such principles.
