maximum capacity is limited. On the other hand, if a greater
cord diameter is chosen, it allows for greater maximum buoyancy
but the wing will never be smaller than the free diameter (cord
exerting no force) of the retraction cord ring, i.e. you simply have
no retraction at the low end of wing volumes and consequently
none of the five functions described above. The solution to this is
ClamRetract™ The idea is that a long string of retraction cord is
placed in a horse-collar shaped channel along, instead of around,
the legs, well protected on the inside of the outer bag to expose
no risk whatsoever to get snagged.
From fully deflated to fully inflated, the length of the outer
periphery of the horse-collar shape is only increased with some
150%, which enables to efficiently make use of the retraction
cord’s elasticity over the entire volume range (inflated to
deflated). The wing leg will not deform like as usual an intestine,
but more like a clam closing its shells until it becomes almost
flat thus having zero volume. The retraction cord will in addition
also always pull the wing in a direction towards the centre, which
means in under the cylinders which is in fact what all divers are
asking for. ClamRetract™ is here to stay!
ClamRetract™ is made non user adjustable, since this comes
with hidden hazards which have proven to be lethal. As said
before, the correct retraction forces are serving five essential
functions. Excessive retraction forces can result in inability to
inflate efficiently and lead to drowning, and too small forces
can result in insufficient deflating and thereby lead to DCS. The
correct ClamRetract™ forces are developed and tested carefully
by Poseidon, authorized independent laboratories, and test divers
under safe conditions.
Unauthorised adjustment of retraction cord can reduce the
maximum possible lift capacity and is strongly prohibited.
