Definitions
- the invention relates to a diving device, in particular snorkel, with a snorkel tube, which starts from a mouthpiece as a two-part elastic air hose, the individual tubes, starting from the mouthpiece, running alongside the head of the user, and an air inlet opening occupying a position at the back of the head.
- the invention also relates to a diving device, which is designed as a snorkel, with a snorkel tube, which starts from a mouthpiece and is preferably designed as a closed, elastic air hose and is designed in such a way that it lies against the head of the user in use and runs along it ,
- a diving device designed as a snorkel is already known.
- the known diving device comprises a snorkel tube which starts from a mouthpiece as a two-part air tube, the individual tubes starting from the mouthpiece essentially resting on the head of the user and an air inlet opening occupying a position at the back of the head.
- a check valve is arranged in the partial hose, so that fresh air can only be sucked in through this partial hose, but exhausted, exhaled air cannot flow back into this partial hose.
- the other of the two partial hoses is equipped in the area of the air inlet opening with a pressure relief valve, which is designed such that only exhaled air flows through this partial hose, but fresh air cannot be sucked in from outside.
- This known construction solves a fundamental problem with diving devices of the present type, which consists in that after exhaling at least sections of the snorkel tube or the snorkel tubes with used ones exhaled air is filled, which is inhaled again the next time you breathe in.
- a diving device designed as a snorkel is known, the snorkel being designed as a closed, elastic air hose and designed in such a way that, when in use, it lies approximately against the user's head and runs along it.
- the object of the invention is to provide a diving device, in particular a snorkel, which, with a comparatively simple construction, can effectively prevent sections of the air hose or the partial air hoses from being filled with exhaled air during the breathing process, so that it is always ensured that at Inhale only fresh outside air is sucked in.
- each of the individual hoses in the state of use starting from the mouthpiece on the head of the user running along this and an air inlet opening assuming a position at the back of the head, each of the individual hoses is a check valve arranged, which prevents the exhaled air from flowing back into the individual tubes.
- a pressure relief valve is arranged on the mouthpiece which, when a predetermined air pressure is reached, connects the flow between see the inside of the individual tubes and the outside environment (the surrounding water).
- the used exhaled air is therefore not returned to the area of the air opening via a separate return hose, but the exhaled air leaves the diving device directly at the mouthpiece, so that complete fresh air can be inhaled again when inhaled again.
- At least one pressure relief valve is arranged in the area between the mouthpiece and the air outlet opening in at least one of the individual tubes, which pressure valve establishes a flow connection between the interior when a predetermined air pressure is reached the individual hoses and the external environment (the surrounding water).
- the invention can be advantageously configured in that the at least one pressure relief valve is arranged on one of the individual tubes at or near the mouthpiece.
- a particularly low resistance when exhaling is achieved if, according to a further embodiment of the present invention, a pressure relief valve is arranged in each of the individual tubes.
- the pressure relief valves can be arranged on or near the mouthpiece.
- the pressure relief valve or valves is or are formed in the hose area which is located between the user's ear and the air inlet opening extends.
- the pressure relief valve is designed as a coupling piece between the mouthpiece and the respective individual hose.
- the coupling piece mentioned can be connected at one end to the mouthpiece in the manner of a plug-in connection and can have a pipe socket at its other end for receiving the hose end.
- Another particularly advantageous construction also consists in that, according to the invention, the outlet opening of the pressure relief valve is connected to the outside with a piece of hose which preferably directs the escaping air laterally outwards from the visual field.
- This piece of hose can expediently run parallel to the respective individual hose and can also be connected to it.
- a second proposed solution of the present invention relates to a diving device designed as a snorkel, which has only a single elastic air hose, whereby according to the invention, a check valve is arranged in the snorkel tube, which prevents the backflow of the exhaled air and the snorkel tube, and also at or in the immediate vicinity of the mouthpiece, a pressure relief valve is arranged which, when a predetermined air pressure is reached in the snorkel tube, establishes a flow connection between see the inside of the snorkel tube and the outside environment (the surrounding water).
- the pressure relief valve can be formed in one piece with the mouthpiece or the pressure relief valve can be arranged on the lower curvature area of the snorkel tube.
- the pressure relief valve can be designed as a coupling part in order to detachably connect the mouthpiece and the snorkel tube.
- the coupling part can be connected to the mouthpiece at one end in the manner of a plug-in connection and can have a pipe socket at its other end in order to accommodate the corresponding end of the snorkel tube.
- the outlet opening of the pressure relief valve can be connected on the outside to a piece of tubing which preferably directs the exhaled air laterally outwards from the visual field.
- This piece of hose can preferably run parallel to the snorkel tube and can also be connected to it.
- the elastic air tubes can also have an essentially elliptical or flat shape in cross section, the main axis of the ellipse extending almost parallel to the surface of the head when in use.
- a low flow resistance can also be achieved in that the cross section of the air hose has an elongated wedge or channel shape, the width of the channel or wedge being greater by a factor of 1.5 to 2.5 than the maximum channel height.
- the snorkel tube itself can have an essentially elliptical shape, the main surface of the ellipse extending almost parallel to the surface of the head when in use.
- the mouthpiece which is equipped with the pressure relief valve, can also be equipped with a further water outlet or water outlet valve.
- a particularly simple construction is characterized in that the at least one pressure relief valve takes over the function of a water outlet or water blow-off valve.
- a further embodiment of the present invention consists in that at least one of the air hoses or the snorkel tube has at least one partition running inside it in the longitudinal direction of the tube or snorkel tube, so that at least two parallel tube channels or snorkel channels are formed, at least one of which the inner hose channels or snorkel channels can be connected to at least one pressure relief valve.
- Figure 1 is a schematic plan view of a diving device in the form of a snorkel with features according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows a basic illustration of the snorkel in the state of use
- FIG. 3 shows a top view of a further embodiment of the snorkel according to the invention.

- the snorkel generally designated 1
- a mouthpiece 2 which comprises bite plates 12.
- the mouthpiece 2 which has a T-shape in the exemplary embodiment shown, there is one flange each, which is used to fasten a two-part elastic air hose 4.
- the air hose 4 can be provided in the region of the curvature sections 13 with a stiffening sheathing 14, so that an undesired reduction in the cross section by kinking or the like with subsequent hindrance to free breathing is excluded.
- the two-part air hose 4 is brought together at or in a snorkel 5.
- the snorkel nozzle 5 has a head contact plate 8.
- the nozzle 5 has a receptacle (not shown) for attaching an intake extension tube 11 shown in FIG. 2.
- a pressure relief valve 2a (not shown in more detail) is contained in the mouthpiece 2 and, when a certain air pressure is reached within the partial hoses 4, establishes a flow connection via an opening 2b to the external environment (water).
- a check valve 3, 3a (see FIG. 2) is preferably arranged within the suction extension tube 11. The check valve 3a cooperates with the pressure relief valve 2a in such a way that fresh air can be sucked in through the suction extension tube 11 when inhaled and can flow to the mouthpiece 2 via the two partial hoses 4, but the check valve 3a is closed during exhalation while the pressure relief valve 2a is opened , so that the exhaled air can escape through the opening 2b.
- Partial tubes 4 can exhale exhaled air, which is then inhaled with the next inhalation.
- the construction according to the invention ensures that completely fresh air is always immediately available when inhaled.
- the construction according to the invention has the particular advantage that the flow cross section of the two partial hoses 4 can be made comparatively small, since both partial hoses 4 transmit inhalation air.
- the mouthpiece 2 of the snorkel 1 is received on the handling side and the two-part air hose 4 is moved over the head to the back of the head and held there by the elastic effect and the head contact plate 8.
- a bendable bellows 10 is formed on the snorkel nozzle 5, which merges into the intake extension tube 11 with the check valve 3a, so that, as indicated by the arrows, the angular position of the extension tube can be varied, that is to say adjustable. is.
- Fig. 3 shows a second embodiment of the diving device according to the invention in the form of a snorkel, which is generally designated 14.
- This diving device consists of particularly elastic partial hoses 14a and 14b which branch off laterally from a mouthpiece 2 'and which open into an approximately T-shaped connecting piece 18 in their upper region.
- Check valves 15a and 15b are used in the upper end region of the partial hoses 14a and 14b, which define a very specific flow direction, which runs from the T-shaped connecting piece 18 to the mouthpiece 2 ', but cannot run in the opposite direction.
- Overpressure valves 17a and 17b are formed inside the mouthpiece 2 ', the overpressure valve 17a
- Partial hose 14a and the pressure relief valve 17b is assigned to the partial hose 14b.
- the pressure relief valves 17a and 17b open, so that the exhaled air is discharged into the outer surrounding area (water) via openings 16a and 16b.
- the entire valve arrangement is designated 16.
- Fig. 4 shows a portion of an upper end of a snorkel, which is generally designated 14 ⁇ ⁇ , in a broken away view.
- an upper connection piece 18 ' is T-shaped and has lateral connection areas for a hose piece 19a and 19b.
- the hose pieces 19a and 19b consist of a flat hose with a substantially flat lower surface 23 and an arcuate upper surface 24, inside of each hose piece or partial hose 19a and 19b in the longitudinal direction of the hose dividing walls 21, 22 run through the individual compartments (Hose channel) 20a, 20b and 20c are formed.
- each partial tube contains two compartments running parallel to one another.
- At least one of the compartments leads to a check valve either in the upper T-shaped connection piece or in the area of a lower mouthpiece (not shown), so that only fresh intake air can flow through a respective compartment, but no exhaled used air flows back.
- One or more of the compartments can be provided for the exhaled air and can be connected at some point in the area between the mouth and the upper T-shaped connection piece with an outlet opening, through which the exhaled air can flow m to the external environment.
- This opening can expediently also be equipped with a check valve (not shown), so that after exhalation it is prevented that water from the environment m penetrates the compartment in question.
- the partitions are designated 21 and 22, respectively.
- the embodiment shown in detail in FIG. 4 with the flat partial hoses 19a and 19b offers the particular advantage of a very low flow resistance, which is also further reduced by the fact that the T-shaped connecting piece 18 'is designed to be streamlined.
- FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of a typical snorkel, which is generally designated 18 ".
- This embodiment comprises a mouthpiece 2 ", which is equipped at 27 with a pressure relief valve 30.
- the snorkel shown has a snorkel main tube 25, which is approximately U-shaped and ends at an upper air intake opening.
- a Check valve 28 is arranged, which on the one hand creates the possibility of sucking air in only one direction through the main snorkel tube 25, while an opposite air flow is prevented by the check valve 28.
- the check valve 28 also prevents water from entering the main snorkel tube 25.
- a secondary tube 25 ' Parallel to a lower section of the main snorkel tube 25 is a secondary tube 25 ', which ends approximately at half the height of the main snorkel tube.
- This secondary pipe 25 ' is connected in the area of the mouthpiece 2 "to a pressure relief valve 30 and is equipped at its opposite end at 26 with an air outlet opening 29, which can preferably also be equipped with a check valve 31, e.g. in the form of a flap valve.
- the check valve 28 When inhaling, the check valve 28 is first opened and fresh air flows through the main snorkel tube 25 to the mouthpiece 2 ". When exhaling, the check valve 28 is already closed, ie the exhaled air cannot flow back into the main snorkel tube 25. At a certain exhalation pressure, the pressure relief valve 30 opens and the exhalation air can then flow through the secondary tube 25 'and leaves the secondary tube 25' at the air outlet opening 29 at the end region 26 of the snorkel auxiliary tube 25 '. The valve 31 opens and the air can escape into the surrounding area (water) in the form of rising bubbles.
- the air outlet opening is not located directly in the vicinity of the mouthpiece 2 ", the field of view is kept free from rising air bubbles and it is always ensured that only fresh air is supplied with each inhalation and no used exhaled air is taken in with it.
- One of the compartments 20a or 20b or 20c can act as a secondary tube 25 ', while at least one of the compartments (or also several of the compartments) take over the function of the main snorkel tube 25.
- an extension tube or extension hose can be attached to the air inlet opening, for. B. be coupled so that water penetration is effectively prevented and on the other hand can be snorkeled at greater depths.
- a buoy or similar floating body that has a winding / unwinding device for a hose.
- the hose is connected on the one hand to the air inlet opening of the snorkel and on the other hand to an inhalation valve and a drainage opening.
- the latter means are expediently provided at the top of the buoy.
- the diving device can be attached to the user's head by various means. On the one hand, this is based on the inherent elasticity of the material, but an elastic cruciate ligament can also be provided in addition to ensure a secure hold, in particular at the back of the head. It is also possible to connect the diving device to a bathing cap or to provide a possibility for additional attachment of the diving device to a bathing cap. Likewise, a diving suit head part made of known neoprene can be provided with means to fix the snorkel. In the simplest case, there is the possibility of using so-called Velcro fasteners but also push buttons, so that if necessary the device can be easily detached from the bathing cap or from the diving suit head part.
