  • Patent number: 7954489
    Abstract: A waterproof structure of a respiratory tube is provided. The waterproof structure comprises a hollow body and a lid. The hollow body has a first opening end and a second opening end opposing to the first opening end. The lid pivots onto the hollow body at the first opening end. Before the lid is immersed into liquid, the gravity of the lid can keep the lid at a certain position so that the respiratory tube is well-ventilated. After a part of the lid is immersed into the liquid, the buoyancy provided by the liquid forces the closing surface thereof to substantially seal the first opening end and prevent liquid from going into the tube.

  • Publication number: 20110005519
    Abstract: A floater for used in a snorkel is provided. The floater is a porous structure with a plurality of pores for reducing the density of the floater. The density of the floater is substantially less than 1.1 g/cm3 so that the floater can float up easily when immersed in water and subjected to buoyancy, and thus, block water flow into the snorkel. Preferably, the floater is a single piece structure to enhance the strength against the water pressure, thereby, preventing the floater from rupturing easily.
