ABSTRACT:
A safety valve for a buoyancy compensator has an inlet for connection to one end of an inflation hose for supplying gas to the buoyancy compensator, an outlet for connection to a gas inlet of the buoyancy compensator, and a passageway connecting the inlet to the outlet. A vent chamber has an orifice communicating with the passageway for allowing gas to vent through the orifice and out via vent outlets in the chamber. A valve member is pivotally mounted in the chamber for movement between a position closing the orifice and a pivoted position at an angle to the orifice. A pull cable extending through the inflation hose is directly coupled to the valve member so that pulling on the pull cable will tilt the valve member into the pivoted, open position.
