Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Schutz von Personen mit einem Gurtsystem, das dazu ausgebildet ist, von der zu schützenden Person am Oberkörper angelegt zu werden und mindestens zwei an dem Gurtsystem befestigten aufblasbaren Luftkissen, wobei ein erstes Luftkissen in aufgeblasenem Zustand zumindest den Brustbereich der zu schützenden Person 5 hinunter bis zu den Knien abdeckt und ein zweites Luftkissen in aufgeblasenem Zustand den Rückenbereich sowie die Beine der zu schützenden Person abdeckt.The invention relates to a device for protecting persons with a belt system which is adapted to be applied by the person to be protected on the upper body and at least two attached to the belt system inflatable air cushion, wherein a first air cushion in the inflated state, at least the chest area to covering the protective person 5 down to the knees and a second air cushion when inflated covers the back area as well as the legs of the person to be protected.
Es ist bekannt, Schutzanzüge beispielsweise für Motorradfahrer mit sogenannten Airbags auszurüsten, um einen verbesserten Schutz für eine Person, die eine solche Ausrüstung trägt, zu io erreichen. Lösungen dieser Art sind beispielsweise in der US 5,781,936 A oder in der DE 197 28 130 A offenbart.It is known to equip protective suits, for example for motorcyclists, with so-called airbags in order to achieve improved protection for a person wearing such equipment. Solutions of this type are disclosed, for example, in US Pat. No. 5,781,936 A or in DE 197 28 130 A.
Die vorliegende Erfindung hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, Vorrichtungen dieser Art zu verbessern. Dabei soll auch die Möglichkeit geschaffen werden, eine Erhöhung der Überle-15 benschancen für Lawinenopfer zu erreichen. Weitere Einsatzmöglichkeiten sind Schiffsunglücke, Flugzeugabstürze, Hubschrauberabstürze und ähnliche Unfälle im Wasser sowie bei Überflutung.The present invention has set itself the task of improving devices of this type. It should also be possible to increase the chances of avalanche victims. Other possible uses include ship accidents, aircraft crashes, helicopter crashes and similar accidents in the water and flooding.
Voraussetzung für die Wirksamkeit ist ein umfassender Schutz insbesondere für empfindliche 20 Körperteile, und hier insbesondere für den Kopf, die Wirbelsäule, den Brustkorb und die Beine, was bei bekannten Vorrichtungen nur unzureichend gegeben ist. Erfindungsgemäß ist daher vorgesehen, dass das zweite Luftkissen in aufgeblasenem Zustand über den Kopf der zu schützenden Person hinausreicht und diesen nach vome zumindest teilweise überdeckt. 25 Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist leicht zu aktivieren und zu verwenden. Im Unglücksfall werden die Luftkissen schnell, das heißt innerhalb von wenigen Sekunden bzw. Sekundenbruchteilen aufgeblasen, wobei die Auslösung automatisch, wie etwa durch einen Trennungssensor, einen Beschleunigungssensor oder dergleichen erfolgen kann oder manuell, beispielsweise durch einen Handgriff oder einen Auslöseknopf. Im Fall der Auslösung wird ein Gas, wie 30 etwa Luft oder Kohlendioxid oder andere Gase schnell in die Luftkissen eingeblasen. Die erforderliche Energie kann beispielsweise durch Druck oder durch eine gezielte Explosion hervorgerufen werden. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ermöglicht einen umfassenden Schutz, insbesondere des Kopfes der Person, ohne dabei eine Verletzungsgefahr, beispielsweise durch Ersticken zu ergeben, da die Atmungsorgane stets frei bleiben. Durch das relativ große Volu-35 men wird ein ausreichender Auftrieb erreicht, der nicht nur einen besseren Schutz gegen Ertrinken bietet als beispielsweise herkömmliche Schwimmwesten, sondern auch einen ausreichenden Auftrieb gewährleistet, der das Verschütten bei Lawinenunfällen weitgehend verhindert. Das Wiederfinden einer verunfallten Person kann durch entsprechende Sender erleichtert werden, die gegebenenfalls an der Vorrichtung angebracht werden. Die Vorrichtung ist leicht zu 40 tragen und verspricht in ihrer Handhabung einem kleinen Rucksack. Je nach Anwendungsfall können die Luftkissen aus speziellen Materialien, die feuerfest, wasserfest, druckfest, usw. sind, hergestellt werden. Vorzugsweise werden sie aus Polyurethan-Composit-Textilfasern oder dergleichen hergestellt, wobei durch die Verwendung reflektierender oder selbstleuchtender bzw. fluoreszierender Stoffe ein zusätzlicher Sicherheitseffekt erreicht werden kann. 45Prerequisite for the effectiveness is a comprehensive protection especially for sensitive parts of the body, and in particular for the head, the spine, the ribcage and the legs, which is insufficiently given in known devices. According to the invention, it is therefore provided that, when inflated, the second air cushion extends beyond the head of the person to be protected and at least partially covers it. The device according to the invention is easy to activate and to use. In the event of an accident, the air cushions are inflated rapidly, that is within a few seconds or fractions of a second, the release can be automatic, such as by a separation sensor, an acceleration sensor or the like, or manually, for example by a handle or a release button. In the case of triggering, a gas such as air or carbon dioxide or other gases is quickly injected into the airbags. The required energy can be caused for example by pressure or by a targeted explosion. The device according to the invention enables comprehensive protection, in particular of the person's head, without resulting in a risk of injury, for example as a result of asphyxiation, since the respiratory organs always remain free. Due to the relatively large volume of sufficient buoyancy is achieved, which not only provides better protection against drowning than, for example, conventional lifejackets, but also ensures sufficient buoyancy, which largely prevents spills in avalanche accidents. The recovery of an injured person can be facilitated by appropriate transmitter, which are optionally attached to the device. The device is easy to carry 40 and promises in its handling a small backpack. Depending on the application, the air cushions can be made of special materials that are fireproof, waterproof, flameproof, etc. Preferably, they are made of polyurethane composite textile fibers or the like, wherein an additional safety effect can be achieved by the use of reflective or self-luminous or fluorescent substances. 45
Ein besonderer Vorteil der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, dass durch die großflächige Abdeckung des menschlichen Körpers auch eine Unterkühlung weitgehend verhindert werden kann, was insbesondere bei Lawinenunfällen oder bei Schiffsunglücken in Gewässern mit niedriger Temperatur vorteilhaft ist. Weiters kann durch die großflächige Abdeckung des Körpers ein 50 wirksamer Schutz gegen mechanisch einwirkende Gefahren erreicht werden, was beispielsweise auch bei Lawinenunfällen wichtig ist, da hier die Möglichkeit des Aufpralls gegen Hindernisse besteht.A particular advantage of the present invention is that by the large-scale coverage of the human body and hypothermia can be largely prevented, which is particularly advantageous in avalanche accidents or shipwrecks in low-temperature waters. Furthermore, a 50 effective protection against mechanical dangers can be achieved by the large-area coverage of the body, which is important, for example, in avalanche accidents, since there is the possibility of impact against obstacles.
In der Folge wird die vorliegende Erfindung anhand der in den Figuren dargestellten Ausfüh-55 rungsbeispielen näher erläutert.In the following, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the figures.
