Definitions

• the state of the art includes documents that refer to breathing apparatus for shallow diving, some of which have an air generator by means of a compressor channeled through a hose to the diver.
• This typology is included in documents such as utility model ES1049934U of the applicant Demetrio González López, patent CH1995000334 ( PCT/CH1996/00414 ) of the applicant New Scaph Technology S.A. proposes a supply equipment by means of a hose through a compressed air tank and means for recharging it.
• Patent document ES2425713A1 of the applicant Probox Alba SL describes an autonomous system that uses a bottle attached to a mobile float pulled by users and whose air supply is produced through hoses.
• a breathing apparatus for water sports that would allow this practice by adequately providing air from the surface to the user avoiding the continuous exits to the surface to breathe as happens in free diving, on the other hand the sea conditions as well as various circumstances may involve a risk for the user, among them may be circumstances such as a cramp, fatigue or a possible panic attack for example, for this reason the invention behaves equally as a rescue buoy or rescue element also and as a swimming assistant, for which it comprises a main body made of a tear-resistant material with at least one inflatable chamber (not shown) and at least one filling/emptying valve, this chamber allowing the buoyancy of the whole, a pair of handles used both to carry the equipment and to put the bag on as a rucksack in the event that it is needed as a life-saving device, described throughout the memoir as a buoyancy aid or safety buoy; attached to the handles and across the handles is an adjustable safety strap which ensures that the equipment is retained on the person.
• the breathing apparatus has a suction tube attached to the main body, this tube can be bent when the equipment is not in use or upright when in use, remaining vertical, the tube has at its end the corresponding conventional valve that prevents water from penetrating inside.
• Attached to the suction tube is a hose with a mouth piece, this hose is conveniently housed in the main body in the specific hose compartment, preferably on the face of the main body in contact with the water.
• It has a handle attached to the main body or a handle for attaching a line, the function of which is to be able to use the device as a safety element for swimming in the open sea. It also has an elastic grid for the placement of different objects such as goggles or others, as well as at least one watertight compartment.
• the suction tube is telescopic, and/or contains a luminous beacon.
• the main body and the handles preferably have a high contrast color to facilitate being seen on the surface.
• the breathing device for water sports which is the subject of this preferred embodiment consists of a main body made of textile material, which in this case is made of Nylon because of its excellent tear and puncture resistance and its good elastic behavior.
• this main body has two inflatable chambers (not shown) inside, in this particular case one on top of the other and their corresponding filling/emptying valves (3), this allows it to guarantee its buoyancy regardless of whether one of them deflates, this main body has two handles (1) that are used both for transport and to use the equipment as a rescue buoy or safety element, these handles have a transversal adjustment strap (8) to securely attach the device to its user.
• a suction tube (4) which can be folded down over the main body, figure 1 , or be erected in use, figure 2 , the tube having at its free end a conventional valve to prevent the ingress of water.
• a hose (9) starts from the suction tube, at the end of which there is a mouthpiece for breathing; the hose is conveniently housed in a hose compartment (6) when not in use. It also has at least one elastic mesh (5) and at least one watertight compartment (7) to contain various objects.
• the suction tube is telescopic and has a luminous beacon (not shown), preferably in high contrast and high visibility colors.
