Pressure exhaling exercising device

Claim 1

A VALVE ASSEMBLY FOR A PRESSURE EXHALING LUNG EXERCISING DEVICE COMPRISING: A HOUSING ASSEMBLY COMPRISING AN INPUT HOUSING AND AN OUTPUT HOUSING, SAID INPUT HOUSING HAVING A CHAMBER THEREIN, SAID INPUT HOUSING HAVING AN INPUT PASSAGE FROM THE OUTSIDE INTO SAID CHAMBER, AN ANNULAR VALVE SEAT SURROUNDING SAID INPUT PASSAGE AND FORMING A PART OF THE WALL OF SAID CHAMBER, A VALVE IN SAID CHAMBER AND HAVING A VALVE HEAD HAVING AN OUTER SURFACE ADAPTED TO SEAT AGAINST SAID VALVE SEAT TO CLOSE SAID INPUT PASSAGE, SAID VALVE HAVING AN ANNULAR SUBSTANTIALLY CLOSED GUIDE SLEEVE ON THE SIDE OF ITS VALVE HEAD WHICH FACES AWAY FROM SAID VALVE SEAT AND ATTACHED TO SAID VALVE HEAD IN A MANNER FOR PROVIDING THEREWITH A CAPLIKE ENCLOSURE, SAID OUTPUT HOUSING HAVING AN OUTPUT PASSAGE THERETHROUGH, SAID OUTPUT HOUSING HAVING AN INNER END FORMING AN END OF SAID CHAMBER AND BEING SECURED TO SAID INPUT HOUSING, SLEEVE-MOUNTING MEANS ATTACHED TO ONE OF SAID HOUSINGS AND TELESCOPICALLY RECEIVING SAID SLEEVE THEREON FOR SLIDING MOVEMENTS OF SAID SLEEVE WITH RESPECT TO SAID MOUNTING MEANS WHEREBY SAID SLEEVE CAN MOVE ON SAID MOUNTING MEANS TOWARD AND AWAY FROM SEATING RELATIONSHIP WITH SAID ANNULAR VALVE SEAT, SAID SLEEVE HAVING A CLOSE SLIDABLE FIT WITH RESPECT TO SAID MOUNTING MEANS WHEREBY SAID SLEEVE HAS A COVERING RELATIONSHIP WITH RESPECT TO SAID MOUNTING MEANS, SAID OUTPUT PASSAGE EXTENDING THROUGH SAID MOUNTING MEANS WHEREBY AIR IN SAID OUTPUT PASSAGE HAS ACCESS TO THE INNER SIDE OF SAID VALVE HEAD, FIRST AND SECOND ABUTTING MEANS ON SAID VALVE AND ON SAID MOUNTING MEANS RESPECTIVELY, SAID FIRST AND SECOND ABUTTING MEANS BEING ADAPTED TO ABUT ONE ANOTHER TO STOP MOVEMENT OF SAID VALVE AWAY FROM SAID VALVE SEAT AT TIMES WHEN SAID VALVE HAS REACHED AN INNERMOST POSITIONS, SAID VALVE MOUNTING MEANS HAVING AN OPENING MEANS EXTENDING THERETHROUGH FROM SAID CHAMBER TO SAID OUTPUT PASSAGE, SAID OPENING MEANS BEING AT LEAST PARTIALLY UNCOVERED BY SAID SLEEVE WHEN SAID VALVE IS IN SAID INNERMOST POSITION, WHEREBY WHEN AIR IS FLOWING INWARDLY OF SAID INPUT HOUSING, THE AIR CAN ALWAYS FLOW THROUGH SAID OUTLET PASSAGE, THE AMOUNT OF THE AREA OF SAID OPENING MEANS WHICH REMAINS UNCOVERED BY SAID SLEEVE WHEN SAID VALVE IS IN SAID INNERMOST POSITION BEING SUFFICIENTLY SMALL THAT UPON A CESSATION OF INFLOW OF AIR THROUGH SAID INPUT PASSAGE AND UPON A COMMENCEMENT OF FLOW OF AIR INWARDLY THROUGH SAID OUTPUT PASSAGE AND THROUGH SAID OPENING MEANS, A SUFFICIENT AIR FORCE WILL ALSO ENGAGE THE INNER SIDE OF SAID VALVE HEAD AS TO CAUSE SAID VALVE TO TELESCOPICALLY SLIDE INTO SEATING POSITION, AND A PRESSURE DISSIPATION PASSAGE EXTENDING THROUGH SAID HOUSING ASSEMBLY FROM ITS OUTER SIDE TO SAID OUTPUT PASSAGE, WHEREBY, BY BLOCKING SAID DISSIPATION PASSAGE VARYING AMOUNTS, VARIOUS AMOUNTS OF AIR PRESSURE IN SAID OUTPUT PASSAGE CAN BE RELIEVED.
