Abstract
The invention relates to a valve system (10) for a breathing aid for swimmers, in particular for an inhalation valve, comprising a valve housing (1) and a valve diaphragm (2) in the valve housing (1); in a contact zone (3) preferably located in a central area of the valve diaphragm (2), the valve diaphragm (2) is disposed on a first end (4) of a fastening element (5); furthermore, from the contact zone (3), the valve diaphragm (2) runs at least partially at an angle in the direction of a second end (6) of the fastening element (5).
Claims13
A mouthpiece system (20) for a breathing aid (60) for swimmers, comprising a mouthpiece (21), a system housing (22), an exhalation valve (23) through which exhaled air flows, and an air outlet opening (24), with the air outlet opening (24) being covered by a diffusor extension (25) comprising a diffusor plate (26), and the diffusor plate (26) having a plurality of circular and/or oval and/or elliptical openings (27), each of the openings (27) being formed as one of a capillary and a duct wherein the diffusor plate (26) has an inner surface (28) facing the exhalation valve (23), and an outer surface (29) facing away from the exhalation valve (23), with the openings (27) in the diffusor plate (26) extending transversely from the inner surface (28) to the outer surface (29);
- and
- wherein each of the openings (27) is disposed in the same direction at an angle (δ) offset 5°-89° from an axis normal to the inner surface (28) of the diffusor plate (26) so that, when the mouthpiece system (20) is worn by the swimmer, the exhaled air is directed angularly downwardly away from the swimmer's face.
