Abstract
The snorkel with a strobe light includes a strobe light mounted in a casing. A transparent cap covers the light at the top of the casing. A controllable strobe circuit also mounted in the casing. The strobe circuit includes a user actuatable switch and a battery which, in connection with the strobe circuit, electrically drives the strobe light to provide periodic illumination. The casing includes a coupler which provides an interference fit over an upper region of the snorkel. The strobe light unit is removably attached to the top end of the snorkel via the coupler.
Claims19
A snorkel with a strobe light comprising:
- a snorkel having a generally U-shaped mouthpiece portion leading directly to a rigid, elongated tubular body portion and an open, tubular top region, said tubular top region adapted to be raised above water level to permit an intake and exhaust of air from a diver;
- a strobe light mounted in a casing;
- a controllable strobe circuit electrically coupled to said strobe light and mounted within said casing, said strobe circuit including a battery and a user actuatable switch, said strobe circuit electrically driving said strobe light to provide periodic illumination;
- said casing mounted on an upper region of said tubular, rigid body portion of said snorkel about said tubular top, whereby said casing, strobe light and strobe circuit are mounted onto the top of said snorkel.
A snorkel with a strobe light comprising:
- a snorkel having a generally U-shaped mouthpiece portion leading directly to a rigid, elongated tubular body portion and an open, tubular top, said open, tubular top adapted to permit an intake and exhaust of air from a diver;
- a strobe light mounted in a casing;
- a controllable strobe circuit electrically coupled to said strobe light and mounted within said casing, said strobe circuit including a battery and a user actuatable switch, said strobe circuit electrically driving said strobe light to provide periodic illumination;
- said casing having a coupler providing an interference fit over an upper region of said snorkel about said open, tubular top, said coupler mounting said casing, strobe light and strobe circuit onto the top of said snorkel above said rigid, elongated tubular body portion.
A snorkel with a strobe light comprising:
- a snorkel having an open, tubular top adapted to permit an intake and exhaust of air from a diver;
- a first and second strobe light mounted in a casing, said first strobe light emitting a white light when illuminated and said second strobe light emitting a colored, non-white light when illuminated;
- a controllable strobe circuit electrically coupled to said first and second strobe light and mounted within said casing, said strobe circuit including a battery and a user actuatable switch to actuate said first and second strobe light, said strobe circuit electrically driving said first and second strobe light to provide periodic illumination;
- said casing mounted on an upper region of said snorkel about said open, tubular top, and said casing mounting said strobe light and strobe circuit onto the top of said snorkel.
