Abstract
A diving snorkel assembly includes a snorkel tube and a casing. The snorkel tube includes a first portion and a second portion telescopically disposed relative to each other. The snorkel tube further includes an inner surface that defines an air passageway. The air passageway extends through the first portion and the second portion between a first end and a second end of the snorkel tube. A casing surrounds at least part of the first portion and the second portion. An interior of the casing is in fluid isolation from the air passageway. Due to the fluid isolation between the air passageway and the interior of the casing, mechanical mechanisms are sufficient to secure the casing in place such that the diving snorkel assembly may be made without the use of glue.
Claims20
A diving snorkel assembly (20) comprising:
- a snorkel tube (22) including a first portion (30) and a second portion (32) telescopically disposed relative to each other and an inner surface (24) defining an air passageway extending through said first portion (30) and said second portion (32) between a first end (26) and a second end (28) of said snorkel tube (22);
- and
- a casing (36) surrounding at least part of said first portion (30) and said second portion (32) and including an outer casing surface (54) and an inner casing surface (56) both extending parallel to said snorkel tube (22) with said inner casing surface (56) defining an interior of said casing (36) in fluid isolation from said air passageway.
