Snorkel connector

Abstract

A snorkel connector has a base tube, a mounting tube and a mouthpiece. The base tube has two outer side walls and two side recesses. The side recesses are respectively formed in the outer side walls and each have a bottom and a bottom recess. The bottom recesses are formed respectively in the bottoms of the side recesses. The mounting tube is removably mounted on the base tube and has two wings and a supporting part. The wings are formed on the mounting tube, are held in the side recesses of the base tube and have protrusions. The protrusions are formed on the wings of the mounting tube and engage the bottom recesses of the base tube to hold the mounting tuber onto the base tube. The mouthpiece is mounted on the mounting tube and allows the support part of the mounting tube to extend into.

1 . A snorkel connector comprising
 a base tube having
 a top; 
 a bottom; 
 a through hole formed through the base tube; 
 two outer side walls; 
 two side recesses, each side recess formed in one of the outer side walls and having
 a bottom; and 
 a bottom recess formed in the bottom of the side recess; and 
 
 a side tube formed on the side of the base tube and having
 a hole formed through the side tube and communicating with the through hole of the base tube; 
 
   a mounting tube removably mounted on the top of the base tube and having
 a top; 
 two bottom edges; 
 two wings, each wing formed on one of the bottom edges of the mounting tube, held into one of the side recesses of the base tube and having
 an inner face; and 
 a protrusion formed on the inner face of the wing and selectively engaging one of the bottom recesses of the base tube to hold the mounting tube onto the base tube; 
 
 a supporting part formed on the top of the mounting tube, tilted to the mounting tube at a tilting angle and having
 a outer side wall; and 
 
 a hole formed through the supporting part of the mounting tube and communicating with the through hole of the base tube; and 
   a mouthpiece formed on the supporting part of the mounting tube and having
 a connecting part mounted on the supporting part of the mounting tube and having
 an air way formed through the connecting part and allowing the supporting part of the mounting tube to extend into and having
 an inner wall; and 
 
 
   a biter part connected with the connecting part.   
   
   
       2 . The snorkel connector as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the tilting angle of the supporting part to the connecting part is 25 degree. 
   
   
       3 . The snorkel connector as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the base tube further has an annular slot formed in the top of the base tube around the through hole of the base tube and an O-ring mounted in the annular slot of the base tube and abutting against the inner walls of the wings of the mounting tube. 
   
   
       4 . The snorkel connector as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the supporting part of the mounting tube further has an annular extension formed on the outer side wall and abutting against the inner wall of the air way of the mouthpiece. 
   
   
       5 . The snorkel connector as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the base tube further has a check valve mounted on the bottom of the base tube inside of the through hole of the base tube.
