Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a mouthpiece for underwater breathing pipes.
  • mouthpieces for breathing pipes normally they include a stiff or semi-stiff body provided on their upper part of a mouth element of soft material and connected, on a side part as said mouth element, to a breathing pipe, normally bent.
  • a water draining valve is provided, which can be obtained on the same lying plane of the mouth element or sloped downward as to that.
  • the diver can position the breathing pipe indifferently on the right or on the left as to the head and then the mouth element.
  • this is not possible, since said water draining valve has to be always turned downward and the breathing pipe is firmly connected to the mouthpiece, in a not removable way.
  • the impossibility for the diver to position by his choice the breathing pipe on the right or on the left of the head, is a remarkable limitation, which often makes little practical the use of said mouthpieces.
  • the aim of the present invention is to avoid the disadvantages and limitations of the mouthpieces for the known breathing pipes and to embody a mouthpiece to which a breathing pipe can be connected indifferently on the right or on the left of the mouth element with no distinction.
  • a mouthpiece for underwater breathing pipes including on its upper part a mouth element and on its lower part at least one water draining valve with a certain downward slope as to a lying plane including the mouth element; said mouthpiece moreover includes at least two opposite side parts, hollow and provided with means allowing to connect, removably and watertight, to one of said side parts, a breathing pipe, and to the opposite side part a closing plug. Said means allow a total interchangeability of the positioning of the breathing pipe and the closing plug to the right and/or to the left as to the mouth element and the water draining valve of the mouthpiece.
  • a mouthpiece comprising a body of stiff or semi-stiff material and including on the upper part a mouth element 2 suitably shaped and made of soft material.
  • a water draining valve 3 On the mouthpiece 1 lower part which is opposite as to the one of the mouth element 2 a water draining valve 3 is provided, which, as it can be noticed, is not obtained on the same lying plane of said mouth element 2, but has a certain slope downward as to that.
  • Said mouthpiece has moreover two side parts 4 and 5 hollow and projecting respectively to the left and the right (as to the mouth element 2).
  • the hollow left side part 4 is connected to a breathing pipe 6 through a tubular connecting piece 7 which allows, as it will be later described, to connect and disconnect as one likes said pipe 6 from said side part 4.
  • a tubular connecting piece 7 which allows, as it will be later described, to connect and disconnect as one likes said pipe 6 from said side part 4.
  • a closing plug 8 which is as well removable from said side part 5.
  • the breathing pipe 6 can be assembled indifferently to the right or the left as to the mouth element 2.
  • Fig. 2 is shown the situation where the breathing pipe 6 is connected to the right side part 5 of the mouthpiece 1 and the plug 8 is inserted into the left side part 4, reversing the positioning of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 are shown in exploded view the connection means allowing to make indifferently the positioning of the breathing pipe 6 to the right or the left of the mouthpiece 1.
  • the mouthpiece hollow right 5 and left 4 side parts include two cylindrical portions 41 and 51 which are hollow too: said portions 41 and 51 have reduced section and within each one are obtained two annular carvings 410 and 510.
  • the left cylindrical portion 41 in the example in figure, is suitable for fitting in with the cylindrical plug 8, which has on the inner surface two annular projections 81 which become engaged by fitting in into the two carvings 410.
  • Two sealing rings 10 are provided to complete the coupling of the plug 8 with the cylindrical portion 4. Said coupling is done by fitting in, setting first the sealing rings 10 into the carvings 410 and then pressing the plug 8 against the portion 41 until the annular projections 81 get completely into their carvings 410.
  • the cylindrical portion 51 in the example in figure, is instead connected to the connecting piece 7, which has in its inside part four annular projections 71 (of which in the figure is shown only the one obtained on the right end of the connecting piece 7).
  • Said connecting piece 7 is then fitted in from one side onto the cylindrical portion 51 and from the other side onto a cylindrical end portion 61 of the breathing pipe 6: said portion 61 has a reduced section and on it are obtained two annular carvings 610.
  • the assembly of the connecting piece 7 to the portion 51 of the mouthpiece 1 side part 5 and to the end portion 61 of the breathing pipe 6 is quite the same of the one described for the plug 8, and for it four more sealing rings 10 are provided.
  • the connecting piece 7 onto the portion 51 is sufficient to set two sealing rings 10 into the carvings 510 and pressing said connecting piece 7 until two of the four annular projections 71 are completely inserted into said annular carvings 510, while, to fit in the end portion 61 of the pipe 6 into the connecting piece 7 so connected to the portion 51, is sufficient to set the other two sealing rings 10 into the carvings 610 and press the pipe 6 until the other two annular projections 71 of the connecting piece 7 are completely fitted into said annular carvings 610.
