【発明の詳細な説明】 「産業上の利用分野」 本発明は、スキューバダイビングの際にレギュレータ
ーに取付けられるダイビング用マウスピースに関する。Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a diving mouthpiece which is attached to a regulator during scuba diving.
「従来の技術」 従来、この種のマウスピースとしては、第10図および
第11図で示す１実施例がある。"Prior art" Conventionally, as this kind of mouthpiece, there is an embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. FIG.
このマウスピース１はゴム、合成樹脂材などで多少弾
性的に形成されている。マウスピース１は筒状の気体導
部２の一端部に図示しないレギュレーター取付用の周溝
３を有する。またマウスピース１は他端部にダイバーの
上下の歯と唇とで支持される左右１対の支持腕部４、４
を有する。The mouthpiece 1 is somewhat elastically formed of rubber, synthetic resin, or the like. The mouthpiece 1 has a peripheral groove 3 for mounting a regulator (not shown) at one end of a cylindrical gas conducting portion 2. The mouthpiece 1 has a pair of left and right support arms 4, 4 supported at the other end by upper and lower teeth and lips of the diver.
Having.
しかしながら、上記構成のマウスピース１は、第11図
で示すように左右の支持腕部４、４が気体導部２の左右
の中央部から外方に膨出状に連設して形成されているの
で、その左右の連設部4a、4aの肉厚が大きくなり、した
がって、次に列挙する欠点があった。However, in the mouthpiece 1 having the above-described configuration, the left and right support arms 4, 4 are formed so as to extend outward from the left and right central portions of the gas conducting portion 2 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the thickness of the left and right continuous portions 4a, 4a becomes large, and therefore, there are the following disadvantages.
左右の支持腕部４、４が気体導部２に固定的に連設し
ているので、柔軟性に欠ける。したがって、各ダイバー
の歯型の大小の相違に対応して幅広く用いることができ
ない。Since the left and right support arms 4, 4 are fixedly connected to the gas guide 2, they lack flexibility. Therefore, it cannot be used widely corresponding to the difference in the tooth shape of each diver.
ダイビング中にレギュレーターに一方向の力が作用す
ると、口で支持しているマウスピースの支持腕部４にそ
のまま全ての力が加わるので、ダイバーの上下の歯でマ
ウスピースをしっかりと噛まなければならない。When a unidirectional force acts on the regulator during diving, all the forces are applied to the supporting arm 4 of the mouthpiece supported by the mouth, so the mouthpiece must be firmly bitten by the upper and lower teeth of the diver. .
「発明の目的」 本発明は以上のような従来の欠点に鑑み、各ダイバー
の歯型の大小の相違に対応して幅広く用いることかで
き、またダイビング中にレギュレーターに一方向の力が
作用した場合にマウスピースにその力が全て作用しない
ようにすることができるダイビング用マウスピースを得
るにある。[Object of the Invention] In view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, the present invention can be widely used according to the difference in the tooth shape of each diver, and a unidirectional force acts on the regulator during diving. The goal is to obtain a diving mouthpiece which can in such a case be prevented from exerting all its forces on the mouthpiece.
「問題点を解決するための手段」 本発明のダイビング用マウスピースは、一端部にレギ
ュレーターが係合する係合部を有する筒状の気体導部
と、この気体導部の他端部の左右に可撓的に連設しかつ
ダイバーの歯と唇とで支持される１対の弾性支持腕部と
から成り、前記弾性支持腕部の外壁には、気体導部の左
右の外側壁との間に脇部を形成するストッパー部がそれ
ぞれ突設されていることを特徴とする。"Means for solving the problem" The mouthpiece for diving of the present invention has a cylindrical gas conducting portion having an engaging portion with which a regulator engages at one end portion, and a left and right side of the other end portion of the gas conducting portion. And a pair of elastic support arms supported by the diver's teeth and the lips flexibly, and the outer wall of the elastic support arm is provided with the left and right outer walls of the gas conducting portion. It is characterized in that stopper portions forming side portions are protrudingly provided therebetween.
「実施例」 以下、図面に示す実施例により本発明を詳細に説明す
る。Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to examples shown in the drawings.
５はゴム、合成樹脂材などで形成されたダイビング用
マウスピースである。このマウスピース５は第９図で示
すようにレギュレーター６の筒状取付部6aが嵌合する気
体導部７と、この気体導部７に対向するように連設し、
かつ、ダイバーの歯８と唇とで支持される左右１対の弾
性支持部腕部９、9aとから成る。Reference numeral 5 denotes a diving mouthpiece formed of rubber, a synthetic resin material, or the like. As shown in FIG. 9, the mouthpiece 5 is connected to a gas conducting portion 7 to which the cylindrical mounting portion 6a of the regulator 6 is fitted so as to face the gas conducting portion 7,
The pair of left and right elastic support arms 9 and 9a are supported by the diver's teeth 8 and the lips.
しかして、気体導部７は楕円形の空気流通孔10を有
し、その一端部の外壁にはレギュレーター６の係合リン
グ部6bが係合する周溝11が形成されている。The gas conducting portion 7 has an elliptical air flow hole 10, and a peripheral groove 11 with which the engaging ring portion 6 b of the regulator 6 engages is formed on the outer wall at one end.
左右の弾性支持腕部９、9aは気体導部７の他端部の左
右に可撓的に連設している。The left and right elastic support arms 9 and 9a are flexibly connected to the right and left ends of the other end of the gas conducting portion 7.
そして、左右の弾性支持腕部9,9aの外壁には気体導部
７の左右の外側壁との間に脇部12、12aを形成するスト
ッパー部13、13aがそれぞれ突設されている。左右のス
トッパー部13、13aは、外面が膨らみを有するように、
一方、内面は気体導部７の左右の外側壁と全体的に当接
すようにそれぞれ湾曲状に形成されている。Further, stopper portions 13, 13a forming side portions 12, 12a between the outer walls of the left and right elastic support arms 9, 9a and the left and right outer walls of the gas conducting portion 7 are provided to protrude, respectively. The left and right stopper portions 13 and 13a have an outer surface having a bulge,
On the other hand, the inner surfaces are respectively formed in a curved shape so as to entirely contact the left and right outer walls of the gas conducting portion 7.
14、14aは弾性支持腕部９、9aの内壁にそれぞれ対向
するように突出形成され、かつ、上下の歯８で噛まれる
左右の支持部である。これらの支持部14、14aは第２図
で示すように端面Ｔ字型状に形成されている。Reference numerals 14 and 14a denote left and right support portions projecting from inner walls of the elastic support arms 9 and 9a, respectively, and being bitten by upper and lower teeth 8. These support portions 14 and 14a are formed in a T-shaped end face as shown in FIG.
「作用」 第９図で示すように、マウスピース５はレギュレータ
ー６の筒状取付部6aと係合リング部6bにより固定的に取
付けられる。[Operation] As shown in FIG. 9, the mouthpiece 5 is fixedly attached by the cylindrical attachment portion 6a and the engagement ring portion 6b of the regulator 6.
しかして、歯型8aが小さい人がマウスピース５を噛ん
だ時、第７図で示すようにマウスピース５の左右の脇部
12、12aは開く、すなわち、マウスピース５は矢印で示
すように全体的に閉じる方向へ曲がる。この時左右のス
トッパー部13、13aは気体導部７の外側壁から離れる。Thus, when a person with a small tooth mold 8a bites the mouthpiece 5, the left and right side portions of the mouthpiece 5 as shown in FIG.
12 and 12a are open, that is, the mouthpiece 5 bends in the overall closing direction as shown by the arrow. At this time, the left and right stopper portions 13 and 13a are separated from the outer wall of the gas conducting portion 7.
一方、歯型8bが大きい人のマウスピース５を噛んだ
時、第８図で示すようにマウスピース５の左右の脇部1
2、12aは締まる。すなわち、マウスピース５は矢印で示
すように全体的に開く方向へ曲がる。この時左右のスト
ッパー部13、13aは気体導部７の左右の外側壁と当接あ
るいは当接するような格好となる。On the other hand, when the tooth mold 8b bites the mouthpiece 5 of a large person, as shown in FIG.
2, 12a locks. That is, the mouthpiece 5 bends in a direction in which the mouthpiece 5 opens as shown by the arrow. At this time, the left and right stopper portions 13 and 13a come into contact with or contact with the left and right outer walls of the gas conducting portion 7.
ところで、上記マウスピース５のストッパー部13、13
aは水中ではブレーキの作用がある。By the way, the stopper portions 13 and 13 of the mouthpiece 5
a has a braking effect underwater.
すなわち、第９図で示すようにダイビング中にレギュ
レーター６に一方向の力が作用した時、その力に極力さ
からわないように気体導部７が歯８で支持された左右の
弾性支持腕部９、9aに対して傾倒する。この時気体導部
７は傾倒した方のストッパー部13aに圧接状態で支持さ
れる（ブレーキ作用）。That is, as shown in FIG. 9, when a force in one direction acts on the regulator 6 during the dive, the gas guide 7 is supported by the teeth 8 so that the gas conducting part 7 is supported by the teeth 8 so as to minimize the force. , Leaning against 9a. At this time, the gas guide 7 is supported by the inclined stopper 13a in a press-contact state (braking action).
「本発明の効果」 以上の説明から明らかなように、本発明にあっては次
に列挙するような効果がある。"Effects of the present invention" As is clear from the above description, the present invention has the following effects.
（１）左右の弾性支持腕部が気体導部の他端部の左右に
可撓的に連設しているので、ダイバーの歯型に大小の個
人差があっても、左右の弾性支持腕部は柔軟的に開閉す
る。(1) Since the left and right elastic support arms are flexibly connected to the left and right of the other end of the gas conducting portion, even if there is a large or small individual difference in the tooth shape of the diver, the left and right elastic support arms. The part opens and closes flexibly.
したがって、ダイバーは歯型の大小にかかわらずマウ
スピースを使用することができる。Therefore, the diver can use the mouthpiece regardless of the tooth size.
（２）弾性支持腕部の外面には、気体導部の左右の外側
壁との間に脇部を形成するストッパー部がそれぞれ突設
されているので、ダイビング中レギュレーターに一方向
の力が作用しても、レギュレーターが容易に傾倒するこ
とにより水の抵抗力が減殺することができると同時に、
ストッパーが気体導部の外側壁に圧接するので、レギュ
レーターが必要以上に傾倒しない。(2) A stopper is formed on the outer surface of the elastic support arm to form a side portion between the left and right outer walls of the gas conducting portion, so that a unidirectional force acts on the regulator during diving. Even so, the water resistance can be diminished by easily tilting the regulator,
Since the stopper presses against the outer wall of the gas guide, the regulator does not tilt more than necessary.
したがって、ダイバーはダイビング中マウスピースを
楽に噛むことができる。Therefore, the diver can easily bite the mouthpiece during diving.
