RESERVE POUR EQUIPEMENT DE PLONGEE

摘要

The invention relates to a valve assembly for diving equipment having an air inlet to which a container bottle containing pressurized air may be attached and an air outlet to which the breathing equipment is attachable. Between the air inlet and air outlet is reserve valve means which is biased in an opening direction by pressurized air on the downstream said thereof and in a closing direction by valve actuator means which operates to close the reducing valve when the air pressure on the downstream side drops to a predetermined minimum pressure. First and second guide means are provided for the valve actuator means which actuator means has a range of movement relative to each of said guide means with said movement being automatic relative to the first guide means and manually controllable relative to the second guide means, The valve actuator means is transferable from the first guide means to the second guide means only at a point corresponding substantially to said minimum pressure.
