Abstract
A case is provided for protecting a second stage breathing apparatus such as those used in underwater scuba diving equipment. The case is in the nature of a device for keeping the second stage breathing apparatus clean and for protecting the same and for completely covering the second stage of a diver's two-stage diving apparatus. The case includes a member made of a yieldable or resilient material such as a suitable plastic, rubber-like compound or the like, and the case includes a hinge construction for permitting opening and closing of the case, and wherein there is also provided a fastener for maintaining the case in closed position until it is to be opened, and there is also provided a ring-like member for permitting the diver to attach the case to a belt or strap worn while diving. The internal configuration of the case is such that the second stage breathing apparatus is snugly and properly received therein.
