Abstract
A detachable buoyant cross or clover design offers greater buoyancy and stability. The buoy snorkel may include threaded top and bottom fittings that may allow a flexible hose to be attached or detached through use of a quick connect mechanism, such as one or more cam locks. The buoy snorkel may be a single unit that provides for a flexible hose or breathing tube to be attached or detached on the top and bottom. The flexible hose may have buoyant support to keep the flexible hose or breathing tube afloat. The buoy snorkel may have a clover or cross-type design that may provide greater buoyancy and stability in and on the water.
Claims6
A buoy snorkel comprising:
- a plastic pipe including a top planar disc provided to a top end of the plastic pipe and a bottom planar disc provided to a bottom end of the plastic pipe with a quick connect mechanism provided to each planar disc;
- a cylindrical hollow body which surrounds the plastic pipe and provides buoyant support, wherein the cylindrical hollow body has an overall width that is the same as an overall width of the top planar disc and the same as an overall width of the bottom planar disc;
- an additional plastic pipe including a fitting configured to attach to the quick connect mechanism of the top planar disc;
- and
- a flexible breathing hose including a fitting configured to attach to the quick connect mechanism of the bottom planar disc,
- wherein the cylindrical hollow body provides buoyant support to keep the additional plastic pipe and the top quick connect mechanism above a water line and the flexible breathing hose and the bottom quick connect mechanism below the water line,
- wherein fluid communication is provided from the additional plastic pipe to the plastic pipe to the flexible breathing hose.
