Abstract
Description
- This invention concerns a device for breathing underwater, of the type specified in the preamble of the first claim.
- In particular, this invention concerns an underwater breathing mask which is full-face, and which can be placed over most of the user's face.
- As is well-known, there are currently several devices available on the market that enable breathing underwater and on the surface of the water.
- Traditionally, underwater breathing is enabled through combined devices, including a snorkel and mask. The mask, which is equipped with a seal, includes at least one transparent portion, which acts as a visor and around which a seal is fitted to provide watertight sealing between the space enclosed by the mask and the exterior.
- In this way, the inside of the mask will not be flooded by water during the diving stages and the user's eyes will remain dry. The mask also includes a rubber covering for the user's nose, so as to isolate this portion of the body from the external environment.
- The user may then use the snorkel to breathe through the mouth.
- Essentially, the mouthpiece of the snorkel is a conduit to allow air to be drawn from its top in such a way as to allow proper breathing even with most of the head immersed.
- The technique described includes some significant drawbacks.
- In particular, the use of the mouthpiece is impractical and very uncomfortable for users. Some users may suffer from joint pain of the facial muscles associated with the use of the mouthpiece
- There are, however, other, more complex devices. Patent applications
CN-U-204173146 ,CN-U-205707245 ,EP-A-3153400 ,WO-A-2015170013 , for example, describe full face underwater breathing devices. - These devices solve the problem of condensation with the creation of two parallel circuits inside the mask.
- Furthermore, they include mouthpieces that are connected directly to the mask and which include a float valve or another type of valve designed to allow immersion even beyond the extent determined by the snorkel itself.
- This valve does not allow breathing; however, it prevents water from entering the mouthpiece.
- However, even these devices have a number of drawbacks.
- All the devices described in the aforementioned patent applications are extremely large.
- These large dimensions are particularly significant if you intend to travel with the mask, for example, taking it onto an aeroplane.
- Finally, these masks are very bulky and difficult to transport.
- In this situation, the technical task underlying this invention is the design of an underwater breathing device capable of substantially remedying at least some of the aforementioned limitations.
- As part of this technical task, one of the invention's important objectives is to provide an easily transportable device.
- In addition, a further purpose of the invention is to create a device that is simple and does not include a complex, and therefore expensive, structure.
- The technical task and the specified purposes are achieved by an underwater breathing device as claimed in
Claim 1 attached. - Preferred technical solutions are highlighted in the derivative claims.
- The features and advantages of the invention are clarified below with a detailed description of the preferred functions of the invention, with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
-
Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of an underwater breathing device according to the invention; -
Fig. 2 shows an exploded view of an underwater breathing device according to the invention; -
Fig. 3 is a rear view, that is, from the point of view of the user's face, of an underwater breathing device according to the invention; and -
Fig. 4 represents a frontal view of an underwater breathing device according to the invention; -
Fig. 5 shows a perspective view of a variation of an underwater breathing device according to the invention; - In this document, measurements, values, shapes and geometric references (such as perpendicularity and parallelism), when associated with words such as "about" or other similar terms, like "almost" or "substantially", are to be understood as being without measurement errors or inaccuracies due to production and/or manufacturing errors, and, above all, without slight divergences from the value, measurement, shape or geometric reference to which it is associated. For example, these terms, if associated with a value, ideally indicate a divergence of no more than 10% of the value.
- Moreover, when used, terms such as "first", "second", "higher/upper", "lower", "primary" and "secondary" do not necessarily identify an order, a relationship priority or relative position, but can simply be used to more clearly distinguish between their different components.
- The measurements and data reported in this text are to be considered, unless otherwise indicated, as carried out under the ICAO International Standard Atmosphere (ISO 2533:1975).
- With reference to the Illustrations, the device for underwater breathing according to the invention is indicated throughout by the
number 1. - The
device 1 is essentially an apparatus that allows the coverage of a user's face and respiratory tract in order to allow breathing even when part of the user's head is immersed in a fluid, typically water, for example in the sea. - The
device 1 is, therefore, integrated into a mask for underwater activities including, for example, snorkelling. - Preferably, therefore, the
device 1 comprises at least onemask 2 and thebreathing apparatus 3. - The
mask 2 is preferably the device portion configured to provide watertight cover for most of a user's face when the device is in use. - Therefore, the
mask 2 defines its own edging aimed at establishing the part in contact with the user's skin and a surface predominantly counter-shaped to the human features. In this sense, we mean that themask 2 defines a shape that brings to mind generic human features in a stylised and adequate fashion such that it can provide cover for the face of any user. - Logically, if users have very different facial dimensions, as is the case with children and adults, it is essential to use the
mask 2 correctly sized according to the user's age range. - The
mask 2 is preferably integral and, therefore, covers almost the entire face enclosed within its own edges, providing a watertight seal that separates it from the external environment. - The
mask 2, in any case, preferably includes aviewing portion 20 and abreathing hole 21. - The
viewing portion 20 is the part of the mask arranged in correspondence with the user's eyes, and is made in such a way as to ensure correct visibility of the external environment while simultaneously ensuring that theviewing portion 20 is firmly held in position. - As far as this is concerned, it would be better for the
viewing portion 20 to be rigid. For example, theviewing portion 20 could include rigid polymeric material. Preferably, this material should also be transparent, for example PMMA, Polycarbonate or even glass. Preferably, therefore, theviewing portion 20 should essentially be an element secured to themask 2 and is, therefore, basically set inside it. - The securing between the
viewing portion 20 and themask 2 can be solved and, therefore, suitable locking systems can be provided which create a watertight coupling between theviewing portion 20 and themask 2, or they can be irreversibly secured. - The
breathing hole 21 is adapted to allow the user to breathe through themask 2. As a result, it is preferable, but not essential, for this to be arranged close to the user's mouth. - This
breathing hole 21 should, therefore, preferably be placed at a distance from the user when themask 2 is in use. This means that thebreathing hole 21 is arranged so that it does not adhere to the mouth, so that a situation cannot occur in which the user's face obstructs thebreathing hole 21. Nor is provision made for spouts to be held in the mouth by the user, as occurs in common mouthpiece masks, since thedevice 1 in question is of a different type. Thebreathing hole 21, in particular, is set at a distance from the mouth preferably due to the shape of themask 2. - The
breathing apparatus 3 is preferably adapted to allow for correct breathing when thedevice 1 is in use in a liquid environment, that is, when, for example, the user's head is immersed, either partially or totally, in the water near the open surface of the water, as happens in common snorkelling activities. - The
breathing apparatus 3, therefore, defines at least oneconduit 30. - The
conduit 30 can be more broadly interpreted, that is, it indicates a passage or path that can be rectilinear or curvilinear and which may have forks or, furthermore, can be achieved by a variety of mutually linked elements. - Essentially, the
conduit 30 should be seen as an element suitable for making an air path from a point A to a point B and/or vice versa. Typically and preferably, point A is defined by the end or the ends of theconduit 30 which flow into the external environment, while point B is defined by the end or the extremities of theconduit 30 which flow close to the user's face, more specifically, the mouth, and therefore inside themask 2. - Indeed, it is preferable for the
conduit 30 to be in fluid flow connection with thebreathing hole 21 and adapted to allow the flow of air between themask 2 and the external environment. - Furthermore, it would be best for the
conduit 30 to be rigid. In this case, it is understood that theconduit 30 is predominantly rigid and not strictly rigid. In fact, if the conduit were to include articulated parts, so not strictly rigid, it would fall within the inventive concept of this invention. - However, it would be preferable for most of the
conduit 30 to be rigid to ensure that there are no bending areas in which the flow of air is obstructed. - Preferably and advantageously, therefore, with the exclusion of the
viewing portion 20 and of theconduit 30, thedevice 1 includes material which is mainly elastically deformable. An example of this type is a material that allows almost the whole of themask 2 to be deformed elastically, by hand, by the user. - The deformation is preferably elastic so that, if the
mask 2 is deformed and the shape differs from the original one, it can return, in a period of time dependent on the characteristics of the material, to its former shape which is, essentially, the inverse of human features. - In order to guarantee such characteristics, the elastically deformable material should preferably be silicone.
- The description above presents an essential embodiment of the
device 1. However, thedevice 1 may have additional features. - In a preferred embodiment, shown in
Figs. 1-4 , thebreathing apparatus 3 includes twoconduits 30. In particular, the twoconduits 30 should preferably and respectively be designed so that one only allows air to enter themask 2 and the other only allows air to flow out of themask 2. - In the embodiment shown in
Fig. 5 , on the other hand, there is asingle conduit 30 which only allows air to enter themask 2, while the air flows out through anoutlet hole 39 in correspondence with the connectingportion 31. As an alternative, theoutlet hole 39 could be present only for the water and thesingle conduit 30 could be used for the air flowing in and out. - In this embodiment, preferably, the
conduits 30 are configured to occupy a lateral position with respect to themask 2 and, therefore, with respect to the user's face. - In order to carry out this function, each of the conduits should preferably have at least one check valve which allows air to flow in a single pre-set direction. Valves of this type are widely known in current technical circles and may be of various types and configurations which are not specifically dealt with in this invention.
- In order to achieve part of the invention in the preferred but not exclusive embodiment, all that is needed is for the element described to be inserted into each
conduit 30. - Furthermore, the
breathing apparatus 3 can be split into several elements. Preferably, thebreathing apparatus 3 includes a connectingportion 31 and, for each conduit, acoupling portion 32 and a protrudingportion 33. - The connecting
portion 31 should preferably be the part of thebreathing apparatus 3 suitable for interfacing with thebreathing hole 21. Looked at in detail, the connectingportion 31 should preferably include part of both theconduits 30 and place both theconduits 30 in a fluid flow connection with thebreathing hole 21. Taking an even closer look, themask 2 includes twobreathing holes 21, respectively connected to asingle conduit 30. If there are check valves inside theconduits 30, they should preferably be arranged close to therespective breathing hole 21. - The
coupling portion 32 should preferably place the protrudingportion 33 in a fluid flow connection with the connectingportion 31. - So, the
coupling portion 32 should preferably and largely be a connecting element between the two parts, preferably interlockingly secured with the connectingportion 31 so that thereference conduit 30 is hermetically insulated from the outside and on which the protrudingportion 33 is still interlockingly secured, with the watertight status maintained. Thecoupling portion 32 should preferably allow the constraint or release of the protrudingportion 33 on demand, with respect to the connectingportion 31 for eachconduit 30. - So, the coupling between the
coupling portion 32 and the protrudingportion 33 should preferably occur thanks to a quick release connection element, so if necessary, the protrudingelement 33 can easily be detached from thecoupling element 32. - The protruding
element 33 is, therefore, a conduit extending along a predetermined direction and is substantially similar to the rectilinear tubular part of the common mouthpieces. - It is not, however, necessarily straight, but rather preferably defines a curvilinear shape that follows the edge defined by the
mask 2. - Moreover, in correspondence to the respective free end of the protruding
element 33, each of theconduits 30 includes at least one float valve. This valve should preferably be adapted to obstruct the flow of fluid inside theconduit 30 when theconduit 30 is immersed in a liquid, typically water. This way, if thewhole conduit 30 is immersed in water, the liquid is prevented from entering themask 2. - The connecting
portion 31 should, however, preferably include a valve 35 which allows the evacuation of fluid from one or more of theconduits 30, to prevent a situation arising in which, were the liquid to penetrate theconduit 30, even only partially, themask 2 could drain off liquid through theconduits 30 anyway. - From a material point of view, at least part of the
breathing apparatus 3, and in particular, theconduit 30, includes, as is the case with theviewing portion 20, rigid polymeric material. For example, the material for thebreathing apparatus 3 may be PE, PP, ABS or even PMMA or PC. - In conclusion, the
device 1 includescoupling apparatus 4. - The
coupling apparatus 4 which allows themask 2 to be locked onto the user's face. In the preferred embodiment, thecoupling apparatus 4 should preferably be an elastic band constrained in two fixed points which do not coincide with theviewing portion 20. Theviewing portion 20 and thecoupling apparatus 4 should preferably provide a configuration very similar to that of standard goggles. - However, as is commonly known in current technical circles, many other coupling solutions could be adopted, for example, bands connected to the edges of the
mask 2, but not specifically dealt with in this invention. - Moreover, the protruding
element 33 can include a tab, or slot, which allows for part of thecoupling apparatus 4 to be coupled with the protrudingelement 33. This way, it is preferable for thedevice 1 to be compact. - The operation of the
underwater breathing device 1 previously described in structural terms is as follows. - The
device 1 guarantees all the functions required to allow for underwater activities, but reduces the overall dimensions because, when not in use, it can easily be dismantled with a quick release of thebreathing apparatus 3 which allows the protrudingelements 33 to be removed, which, as defining the breathing tubes, are the most cumbersome. - Furthermore, the
mask 2 is generally elastically deformable and, therefore, can easily be adapted to limited spaces. - According to the invention, the
underwater breathing device 1 offers significant advantages. - In fact, the
device 1 simultaneously allows for the adaptation of the device itself to faces of different sizes with different facial characteristics, as it can be elastically deformable, and can also be transported easily. - The
mask 2 can be deformed to the point to of being easily adaptable to any facial conformation, and can easily absorb any deformations with respect to the original shape. - Moreover, the user can easily dismantle the device to store it inside backpacks or various containers, without its volume becoming a cumbersome load, as is the case with the well-known technology of integral masks.
- Moreover, the structure of the
device 1 achieves these advantages thanks to its simple construction, which makes it easily and economically reproducible. - The
device 1, thanks to its deformability, is also placed on the user's skin, adapting to the shape of the face and not impacting the user's face. - The invention is susceptible to variants within the aim of the inventive concept defined by the claims. In this context, all details may be substituted by equivalent elements and the materials, shapes, and sizes may vary greatly.
