Snorkel mouthpiece set

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(a) Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a mouthpiece set of a snorkel including a base, a connector, and a mouthpiece, wherein the base connecting to the snorkel and the connector having an upper end connecting to the mouthpiece and a lower end including a sphere inserted into a concentric hollow cylinders of the base, thereby enabling the mouthpiece rotating freely through the free rotation sphere of the connector inside the hollow cylinder.

(b) Description of the Prior Art

A conventional mouthpiece set of a snorkel is of a fixed connection with a base without being able to rotate, which is inconvenient to a diver when moving head.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a mouthpiece set of a snorkel including a base, a connector, and a mouthpiece, wherein the base connecting to the snorkel and the connector having an upper end connecting to the mouthpiece and a lower end including a sphere inserted into a concentric hollow cylinders of the base, thereby enabling the mouthpiece rotating freely through the free rotation sphere of the connector inside the hollow cylinder.

To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIGS. 1–3. The present invention relates to a mouthpiece set of a snorkel including a snorkel tube 1, a hollow cylindrical base 2, a mouthpiece 3, and a hollow connector 4 wherein the snorkel tube 1 has a clip 11 for fastening to the mask; the hollow cylindrical base 2 having a closed lower end connecting with the snorkel tube 1 and an open upper end connecting with the mouthpiece 3; the mouthpiece 3 has a corrugated connection 31 for fixing on the hollow connector 4. In one embodiment, the hollow connector 4 has a lower end shaped as a sphere 42, which is fitted into a concentric hollow cylinders 22 of the base 2 to form a ball and socket joint enabling the sphere 42 to rotate freely inside the hollow cylinder 22, and to be angled in any direction relative to the axis of the hollow cylindrical base 2.

For connection of the connector 4 with the hollow cylindrical base 2, another embodiment has the ball and socket joint inverted where the hollow cylindrical base 2 has an upper end shaped as a sphere 23 inserted into a hollow cylinder 43 of the hollow connector 4, thereby forming an “universal joint” mouthpiece, as in FIG. 4, and the third embodiment can be a combination of a cylinder within a concentric hollow cylinder.

It is of course to be understood that the embodiment described herein is merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
