ABSTRACT:
A manually operable control valve for a breathing apparatus to allow a user to alternate from a primary breathing gas supply to a secondary breathing gas supply. The manually operable control valve includes an elongated valve body and a linearly reciprocal shuttle valve. The valve body includes an axial passageway having a pair of spaced-apart inlet ports. The inlet ports each have an inner end opening onto the axial passageway and an outer end which connects to a separate gas supply. The valve body also has one outlet port having an inner end opening onto the axial passageway and an outer end connectable to the breathing apparatus. The linearly reciprocal shuttle valve is slidably mounted within the axial passageway for movement between a first end position in which it establishes fluid communication between the first inlet port and the outlet port and a second end position in which it establishes fluid communication between the second inlet port and the outlet port.
