  • the diaphragm of the valve remains movable perpendicular to the clamping axis in order to realize the effect of the fluttering valve according to the invention.
  • valve membrane of the exhalation valve which is located in the mouthpiece, abuts the inside of the valve cap located there, releasing the flow path, wherein in the inhalation direction, the membrane rests against a sealing edge of the valve carrier in order to block the flow path.
  • the valve membrane moves in the direction of inhalation to the inside of the recess, releasing the flow path.
  • exhaling a movement of the valve diaphragm to the sealing edge of the local valve carrier takes place.
  • exhaling the valve membrane comes into contact with the sealing edge, so that the flow path is blocked, so that the exhalation can be done by blowing spent air through the valve in the mouthpiece.
  • the respective valve caps are frontally at least partially closed and edge or circumferentially provided with opening slots. About the arrangement of the opening slots, the air can be removed at the exhalation valve without additional measures, so that no air bubbles enter the field of view of the float.
  • the valve cap is designed and arranged so that unwanted suction of water can be prevented.
  • the insert for longitudinal adjustment comprises, at least in one tube part, preferably in both tube parts, in each case a sleeve for receiving two tube pieces, wherein an internal thread is formed in the sleeve and an external thread is formed on the tube pieces.
  • the valve carrier has a sleeve or cylinder shape with the aforementioned intersecting webs, wherein on or in one of the cylinder end faces a sealing surface for the valve membrane is provided.
  • the valve membrane has an approximate circular shape or the shape of an oval or an ellipse.
  • the valve diaphragm may have a center section extending through the reinforcing portion defining an axis about which the valve diaphragm is subject to movement.
  • This axis can e.g. be one of the major axes of the aforementioned ellipse or correspond to one of the diameter of the valve diaphragm.
