Masks for underwater uses

A diving mask comprising a transparent visor (2), a frame or strapping (3), a sealing skirt (4) adapted for ensuring a water-tight seal, and suitable straps (5) configured to fit the mask on a user's face,

• the mask being associated with a breathing tube (6) that engages on an upper part of the mask and that allows the air flow to enter into a compartment formed between the frame or strapping and the visor,
• the path of air being breathed in and that being breathed out both in the mask and in the breathing tube being different from each other, the breathing tube being made with an inhalation duct for the air breathed in which is separate from an exhalation duct for the air breathed out, the inside of the mask being made with two compartments, one main compartment (26) and one oronasal compartment (7), separated by a separating wall (41),
• the path inside the mask provides for the air breathed in to be introduced from the tube into the main compartment and then into the oronasal compartment and the air breathed out from the oronasal compartment travels on a perimetric path of the mask up to the breathing tube,
• the perimetric path comprises a pair of perimetric channels (21,22) that extend from the top of the visor (2) past the position in which the separating wall (41) between the two compartments joins up with the visor, said perimetric channels being formed in the visor on its periphery and being closed by a flat annular edge (45) of the sealing skirt (4) when the visor is associated with the sealing skirt forming perimetric ducts for the air breathed out, said perimetric channels extending from the top of the visor where there are coupling means of the mask with the tube made in the form of a housing (23) for the engagement of said tube, both perimetric channels (21, 22) and the coupling means for the tube being formed in the visor.
