ABSTRACT:
An improved coupling for an air hose of a diver's jacket includes an outer sleeve with one end fitted onto one end of the air hose, the outer sleeve having an inner tube with multiple annular teeth locked therein, such that the air hose is tightly clamped therebetween. The other end of the outer sleeve is connected to a coupling which has a restriction ring and multiple steel balls provided at one end thereof. The coupling may be speedily connected to a fastening element of the air hose. The coupling accommodates an air intake element one end of which has multiple intake holes circumferentially provided thereon and a groove for receiving an oil ring, the other end of which is a raised stop portion. The air intake element may urge against an inner rim of the coupling by means of the oil ring due to the action of the spring prior to connecting the coupling with the fastening element, so that the inner wall of the coupling and the oil ring may block the intake holes. The fastening element has a pushing portion which may push the air intake element to displace out of the coupling to expose the intake holes to allow air through the air hose when the coupling is connected to the fastening element.
