A reducer valve for pressurized gas includes a piston () displaceably mounted in a valve housing () against the force of a pressure spring (). At one end, the piston () is subjected to pressure by the back pressure via a control pressure line () whereby the gas, which flows in from a pressurized gas source via a gas inlet (), is throttled. The reducer valve is improved so that a specific gas volume remains in the connected pressurized gas source below a minimum pressure. A directional valve () is provided in the control pressure line () and opens above a predetermined limit pressure.

An apparatus for supplying respiratory gas to a parachute jumper includes a mask which can be worn by the parachute jumper and a first respiratory gas reservoir includes a pressurized-gas vessel containing respiratory gas. The pressurized-gas vessel has an adjustable metering valve for metering respiratory gas contained in the pressurized vessel. A breathing hose connects the metering valve to the mask for conducting the respiratory gas to the mask. A second respiratory-gas reservoir contains a solid-state oxygen generator and has a manually-actuable starting device for the solid-state oxygen generator. The second respiratory-gas reservoir is connected to the breathing hose.

A hinge connection at a breathing gas supply unit between a container lower part (,) and a container door (,), which is fastened, pivotably around an axis, at a rear container edge (,) of the container lower part (,). The connection is provided such that dimensional differences of the container lower part can have only a limited effect on the positioning of the container door in relation to adjacent components of the breathing gas supply unit. The axis of the hinge is designed as projections (,) located at a spaced location from hinge pins (,) of a rail section (,) in the manner of a pin.
