The invention relates to a valve system (10) for a breathing aid for swimmers, in particular for an inhalation valve, comprising a valve housing (1) and a valve diaphragm (2) in the valve housing (1); in a contact zone (3) preferably located in a central area of the valve diaphragm (2), the valve diaphragm (2) is disposed on a first end (4) of a fastening element (5); furthermore, from the contact zone (3), the valve diaphragm (2) runs at least partially at an angle in the direction of a second end (6) of the fastening element (5).

A snorkel upper discharging head has a waterproof device. The snorkel upper discharging head comprises a snorkel upper discharging head body and a floating drum, an air inlet hole is arranged at the front end of the snorkel upper discharging head body and is sleeved with a sealing ring, the snorkel upper discharging head body is internally provided with an air duct communicated with the air inlet hole, circular arc sliding slots are arranged at the left and right inner sides of the snorkel upper discharging head body, the floating drum is clamped in the circular arc sliding slots, and a water seal face jointed with the sealing ring is arranged in the middle of the floating drum; the snorkel upper discharging head having the waterproof device not only has simple and compact structure and excellent waterproof effect, but is also eye-pleasing and fashionable in appearance.

A survival helmet device for use in combination with a survival suit includes a helmet, inhale and exhale control valves, and at least one inflatable air cavity packet secured to the survival suit for selectively controlling the air supply and buoyancy of the survival helmet device and the survival suit.

Swim cap comprising a respirator, ear pockets housing headphones, a communication system comprising a microphone integrated in a mouthpiece and a Bluetooth system for enabling voice communication while swimming and avoiding turning the head to lift it out of the water to breathe.

A splash guard comprises a housing comprising a first aperture, a pivotal member comprising a pivot aim pivotally connected with the housing and a loading part connected with the pivot arm, a space surrounded by the pivot arm, the loading part, and the housing, a float member pivotally connected with the loading part and positioned in the space, and a closure member mounted on the first mounting portion and selectively covering the first aperture. The loading part has a side surface facing the housing and a pushing portion positioned on the side surface. The float member selectively abuts the pushing portion. The direction in which the float member pivots about the pivotal member and the direction in which the pivotal member pivots about the housing are reverse to each other. The splash guard is convenient in use and storage and provides safety and comfort to the snorkeler.

A snorkeling breathing apparatus includes a mask, a first breathing tube assembly and a one-way exhaust valve. The mask includes an outer mask and a breathing mask arranged in the outer mask, the mask is equipped with a breathing chamber. The breathing tube assembly includes a first breathing tube and a one-way inhaling valve. The breathing tube is connected to the breathing mask through the inhaling valve. The exhaust valve is connected and mounted on the outer mask and the breathing mask. While inhaling, the inhaling valve conducts and air enters the chamber through the breathing tube. While exhaling, the exhaust valve conducts and air flows from the chamber to outside.

A snorkel assembly includes a mouthpiece and a tube secured thereto. The tube extends between a mouthpiece end and a distal end. A purge valve is disposed adjacent the mouthpiece and the mouthpiece end of the tube. The purge valve allows water and gas to exit the snorkel assembly while preventing water and gas from entering therethrough. The snorkel assembly also includes a check valve secured to the distal end. The check valve allows water and gas to enter the snorkel assembly while preventing water and gas from exiting therethrough.

The mask for surface snorkeling comprises a rigid frame (2), a transparent visor (3), a soft face mask (4) applicable in an airtight way to the face of the user and having a membrane (7) which delimits an upper viewing chamber (8) being shaped to contain the eyes of the user and a lower breathing chamber (9) being shaped to contain the nose and mouth of the user, and a breathing circuit (5) connected to the lower chamber (9), a ventilation circuit of the upper chamber (8) independent and separated from the breathing circuit (5) also being provided.

A snorkeling breathing apparatus of the present invention includes a mouthpiece; an inhalation unit configured to communicate with the mouthpiece and to open upon inhalation to guide external air to the mouthpiece and close upon exhalation; and an exhalation unit configured to communicate with the mouthpiece and to close upon inhalation and open upon exhalation to discharge the exhalation.

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.
