ABSTRACT:
An improved mounting assembly for mounting gauges and devices to a divers forearm. The assembly is comprised of a flexible material with provisions for rigid components to be placed therein. Rigid components provide structural integrity and secure gauges and devices. Gauges and devices may be easily removed, inserted, or exchanged while the unit is not being worn. When worn, the device may not be manipulated in such a manner as to allow gauges and devices to be easily moved. A compass holder (38) and a depth gauge holder (36) are sized to fit a variety of gauges commonly available. A rigid ring (62) with an inside diameter sized to fit specific models of gauges prevents gauges from rotating and popping out of device. Large overhangs comprised of flexible material hold devices conforming to the shape of a typical watch and diver's thermometer. A writing tablet and pencil may be secured to the inside arm of the device and are held in place by means of overhangs (40), friction, and compression. Provision is made for a secondary means to secure a pencil (44). A knife sheath may be inserted into divers outside arm side. Knife sheath is secured to device by means of plastic tabs (70) inserted through the sheath and which interface with recepticles (32) in the device. Air channels (58), encased rigid rods (24), a contored interior surface (52), and hook and loop fasteners (20) prevent the device from slipping and rolling on the arm.
