Abstract

A diving apparatus (10) supplies breathing air (L) and includes a basic body (12), a tank interface (20), a pressure reducer (22), a mouthpiece interface (24), and a display device (30). The tank interface connects to a breathing air tank (90) for the inlet of breathing air into the diving apparatus. The mouthpiece interface is configured for connection of a mouthpiece (92) for the supply of breathing air from the diving apparatus. The pressure reducer is arranged in a gas path of the diving apparatus between the tank interface and the mouthpiece interface for reducing gas pressure. The display device includes a display instrument (32) and a display line (34). A holding element (40) is configured to detachable fasten the display line at the basic body. A diving system (100) is provided including the diving apparatus (10), a breathing air tank (90) and/or with a mouthpiece (92).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A diving apparatus for supplying breathing air, the diving apparatus comprising:
a basic body comprising a front side and a back side, the front side and the back side of the basic body defining at least a portion of a basic body interior space of the basic body, the basic body interior space being located between the front side and the back side;
a tank interface configured to connect to at least one breathing air tank for an inlet of breathing air from the breathing air tank into the diving apparatus;
a mouthpiece interface configured to connect to a mouthpiece for a supply of breathing air from the diving apparatus;
a pressure reducer arranged in a gas path of the diving apparatus between the tank interface and the mouthpiece interface for reducing a gas pressure of the breathing air;
a display device comprising a display instrument and a display line; and
a holding element configured to detachably fasten the display line at the basic body, the holding element being arranged in the basic body interior space.

2. A diving apparatus in accordance with claim 1 , wherein:
the holding element is located between the front side and the back side;
the basic body has an outer side and an inner side;
the inner side defines a portion of the basic body interior space; and
the holding element is arranged on the inner side of the basic body.

3. A diving apparatus in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the basic body comprises an opening for guiding through the display line from the inner side to the outer side, wherein the display instrument is arranged on the outer side, the holding element being arranged adjacent to an inner surface of the basic body, the inner surface defining a portion of the basic body interior space.

4. A diving apparatus in accordance with claim 1 , further comprising a stowing bracket for stowing and detachably fastening of the at least one display instrument at the basic body.

5. A diving apparatus in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the holding element is configured for a tool-free fastening and removal of the display line at the basic body.

6. A diving apparatus in accordance with claim 1 , further comprising another holding element wherein the holding element and the other holding element are arranged at a spaced location and/or at an angle to one another.

7. A diving apparatus in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the at least one display line is configured as a pressure measuring line and/or the at least one display instrument is configured as a manometer.

8. A diving apparatus in accordance with claim 1 , wherein:
the display line has a free section and a fastened section formed from a part of the free section by the detachable fastening of the display line at the holding element; and
the holding element is arranged at the basic body such that a length of the free section is shortenable and the fastened section can be produced and/or can be lengthened by the detachable fastening of the display line at the holding element.

9. A diving apparatus in accordance with claim 1 , further comprising two holding element mounts, wherein the holding element is configured to be fastened to each of the holding element mounts.

10. A diving apparatus in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the holding element is configured to cooperate with the display line to orient the display line at least in a first defined arrangement and in a second defined arrangement.

11. A diving apparatus in accordance with claim 1 , wherein:
the display line comprises a counter-holding element; and
the counter-holding element is configured for the detachable fastening with the holding element.

12. A diving apparatus in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the basic body has at least one guide element comprising a raised section and/or one recess, for guiding the display line.

13. A diving system comprising:
a breathing air tank and/or a mouthpiece; and
a diving apparatus for supplying breathing air, the diving apparatus comprising:
a basic body comprising a front side and a back side, the front side and the back side defining at least a portion of a basic body interior space of the basic body, the basic body interior space being located between the front side and the back side;
a tank interface configured to connect to the breathing air tank for an inlet of breathing air from the breathing air tank into the diving apparatus;
a mouthpiece interface configured to connect to the mouthpiece for a supply of breathing air from the diving apparatus;
a pressure reducer arranged in a gas path of the diving apparatus between the tank interface and the mouthpiece interface for reducing a gas pressure of the breathing air;
a display device comprising a display instrument and a display line; and
a holding element configured to detachably fasten the display line at the basic body, the holding element being arranged in the basic body interior space.

14. A diving system in accordance with claim 13 , wherein:
the holding element is located between the front side and the back side;
the basic body has an outer side and an inner side;
the inner side defines a portion of the basic body interior space; and
the holding element is arranged on the inner side of the basic body.

15. A diving apparatus in accordance with claim 14 , wherein the basic body comprises an opening for guiding through the display line from the inner side to the outer side, wherein the display instrument is arranged on the outer side, the holding element being arranged adjacent to an inner surface of the basic body, the inner surface defining a portion of the basic body interior space.

16. A diving system in accordance with claim 13 , further comprising a stowing bracket for stowing and detachably fastening of the at least one display instrument at the basic body.

17. A diving system in accordance with claim 13 , further comprising:
two holding element mounts; and
another holding element, wherein the holding element and the other holding element are arranged at a spaced location and/or at an angle to one another and the holding element and the other holding element are configured to be fastened to each of the holding element mounts.

18. A diving system in accordance with claim 13 , wherein the at least one display line is configured as a pressure measuring line and/or the at least one display instrument is configured as a manometer.

19. A diving system in accordance with claim 13 , wherein:
the display line has a free section and a fastened section formed from a part of the free section by the detachable fastening of the display line at the holding element; and
the holding element is arranged at the basic body such that a length of the free section is shortenable and the fastened section can be produced and/or can be lengthened by the detachable fastening of the display line at the holding element.

20. A diving system in accordance with claim 13 , wherein:
