Definitions

  • the invention relates to a swimming aid with an inflatable Cushions made of foldable material according to the generic term of Claim 1.

  • the valve body 38 has one from above downward bore with a flattened side 44, so that it is on a correspondingly shaped connecting tube 46th can be defined in a defined manner - as in FIG. 6 schematically shows - is firmly connected to a wall 48 of the pillow 10 and flows into this.
  • FIG. 5 shows the Actuation lever 50, the shape of which is the contour of the housing 38 is adjusted. In the idle state, the operating lever 50 is in a recess 76 of the housing 38 sunk.
  • a needle 54 is mounted in the longitudinal direction, which can be moved by the actuating lever 50 against the force of a compression spring 56 in the direction of the cartridge 52, so that the tip of the needle 54 is the end of the cartridge which is closed by a metal cap 58 42 opens.
  • the lever 50 is pivoted into the position shown in dashed lines in FIG. 5, with its short end 60 displacing the needle 54 in the longitudinal channel 62 of the housing 38.
  • the compressed gas preferably CO 2
