Regulator cover device for flight vest
In an example, a cover device for a regulator, which has a purge button and a mouthpiece connected to the regulator, includes a body which has: a mouthpiece housing to receive the mouthpiece through an access opening which presents a friction fit to squeeze the mouthpiece passing therethrough in a squeezed state to enter and exit a hollow interior of the mouthpiece housing, the hollow interior configured to store the mouthpiece in a relaxed state; a regulator support connected to the mouthpiece housing to support a bottom surface of the regulator when the mouthpiece is inserted into the hollow interior of the mouthpiece housing; and a button cover connected to the mouthpiece housing to cover the purge button on a top surface of the regulator when the mouthpiece is inserted into the hollow interior of the mouthpiece housing, while exposing a portion of the top surface of the regulator surrounding the purge button.
Underwater breathing device
The present invention provides an underwater breathing device. The device includes a canister having a pump installed therein, wherein air outside of the canister communicates with the interior of the canister via the pump; a mouthpiece; and an elongate tube interconnecting the interior of the canister and the mouthpiece. Methods of making and using the device are also disclosed.
Snorkel with buoyant support
The present invention comprises a snorkel, comprising a breathing hose, the breathing hose having a mouthpiece at one end and connected to a buoyant rigid body at the other end, the rigid body comprising an internal cavity, with the breathing hose connected to the internal cavity; a first opening into the internal cavity disposed at a top end of the rigid body, the first opening having a first cover with a diameter greater than the diameter of the opening, and the first cover extending over the first opening; and a weighted ring secured to a bottom end of the rigid body, the weighted ring surrounding the end of the breathing hose connected to the rigid body, wherein the breathing tube and the first opening define an airway permitting a user to breathe through the snorkel.
Regulator button cover device
A cover device for a regulator, which has a purge button and a mouthpiece connected to the regulator, includes a body having a mouthpiece housing to receive the mouthpiece through an access opening which presents a friction fit to squeeze the mouthpiece passing therethrough in a squeezed state to enter and exit a hollow interior of the mouthpiece housing. The hollow interior is configured to store the mouthpiece in a relaxed state. A button cover is connected to the mouthpiece housing to cover the purge button on a top surface of the regulator when the mouthpiece is inserted into the hollow interior of the mouthpiece housing. The button cover is narrower in width than the mouthpiece housing.
Snorkel mouthpiece assembly
A snorkel mouthpiece assembly, including a main body, a mouthpiece, a connecting component and an accessory, is provided. The mouthpiece is connected to the main body. The connecting component includes a connecting portion and a fixing portion opposite to the connecting portion. The connecting portion is detachably connected to the main body, and the accessory is connected to the fixing portion. In this way, the snorkel mouthpiece assembly could be equipped with a variety of accessories during water or diving activities.
UNDERWATER BREATHING DEVICE
The present invention provides an underwater breathing device. The device comprises a canister having a pump installed therein, wherein air outside of the canister communicates with the interior of the canister via the pump; a mouthpiece; and an elongate tube interconnecting the interior of the canister and the mouthpiece. Methods of making and using the device are also disclosed.
Hydrodynamic sport snorkel
An improved hydrodynamic sports snorkel for use in swim training, exercise and other recreational activities, which facilitates efficient swimming by eliminating the need for a swimmer to turn their head to the side for breathing. The sport snorkel device provides a novel design that significantly reduces drag and resistance, including by directing breathing tubes down the sides of the chin and under the jaw line toward the neck, around the neck and rejoining and going to the surface at the back of the neck behind the swimmer's head. This novel design with tubes running under the jawline and behind the head significantly reduces the portion of snorkel tubing directly in the water flow stream and thus reduces drag and resistance. The sport snorkel device also allows the swimmer to hold the snorkel solely by the mouthpiece without the need to fixedly attach the device to the swimmer's head or goggles.
Underwater mask
An underwater mask includes a frame, a transparent portion supported by the frame, a seal portion mounted on the frame and adapted to be positioned on a user's face, and a ventilation tube. The seal portion has a partition wall resting on the user's nose and forming upper and lower chambers, which communicate through a passage in the partition wall and a one-way valve to enable air to flow only from the upper to the lower chamber. The ventilation tube has separate channels providing communication between the upper and respectively the lower chamber and the outer environment, and a hub between tube and mask, fastened to the mask and connected to the tube by a joint, so that in a coupling position the hub and the tube are fastened, and in a releasing position the hub and the tube remain connected but the tube is free to swing.

SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING THE EXHALATION PRESSURE OF A DIVER FOR DIVING VENTILATION EQUIPMENT
A system for controlling the exhalation pressure of a diver for diving equipment with a ventilation circuit, includes a unidirectional valve acting on an exhalation outlet of the ventilation circuit, and a brake configured to exert an adjustable constraint on the unidirectional valve in order to control the pressure of the gas from the exhalation outlet so as to generate a positive exhalation pressure in the ventilation circuit of the equipment and thus prevent or treat immersion pulmonary edemas.
