Abstract

The strong life ring (1) is provided with signal lighting, where the signal lights (2) are positioned on the life ring. The entire power supply and control electronics are housed in the interior of a lifting body. The total weight of the life ring is significantly less than 3 kilograms. The signal lights are of flat-type and are rounded.

Description

Ein fester Rettungsring, wie in der Schifffahrt üblich, erfüllt zwei Aufgaben: Zum einen hält er durch seinen Auftriebskörper den Verunglückten über Wasser, zum anderen hilft er z. B. durch eine auffällige Farbe den Verunglückten zu finden. Wenn jemand z. B. bei einem schnell fahrenden Schiff über Bord geht, so vergeht bis zum Stoppen des Schiffes und dem Ausbringen eines Rettungsbootes viel Zeit, so dass die genaue Position des Verunglückten unsicher ist. Insbesondere nachts oder bei schlechter Sicht stehen die Chancen, den Verunglückten schnell zu finden, schlecht.A solid lifebuoy, as is customary in shipping, fulfills two tasks: first, it keeps the injured person afloat through his buoyancy body; B. by a conspicuous color to find the casualty. If someone z. B. goes overboard in a fast-moving ship, so passes to stopping the ship and the deployment of a lifeboat much time, so that the exact position of the victim is uncertain. Especially at night or in poor visibility, the chances of finding the casualty quickly, bad.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Es ist daher erforderlich Signallichter in Kombination mit dem Rettungsring zu verwenden. Eine sehr gebräuchliche Lösung ist in 1 dargestellt. Der Rettungsring (1) wird mittels eines Seils (3) mit dem Signallicht (2) verbunden. Der Ring und das Signallicht sind mit speziellen Halterungen an Bord befestigt. Die technischen Anforderungen sowohl an den Ring als auch die Signalleuchte wurden unter anderem von der „International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea” definiert (siehe SOLAS-74 Chapter III Regulation 31) .It is therefore necessary to use signal lights in combination with the lifebuoy. A very common solution is in 1 shown. The lifebuoy ( 1 ) is connected by means of a rope ( 3 ) with the signal light ( 2 ) connected. The ring and the signal light are fixed with special brackets on board. The technical requirements of both the ring and the signal light were among others by the "International Convention for Safety at Sea" defined (see SOLAS-74 Chapter III Regulation 31) ,

Nachteile der heutigen AusführungDisadvantages of today's execution

Diese Lösung hat gewisse Nachteile: Wird der Ring geworfen, so muss seine Masse ausreichen, um auch das Signallicht aus seiner Halterung zu reißen. Daher muss der Ring mindestens ein Gewicht von 4 kg aufweisen, obwohl er ansonsten mit einem Gewicht von ca. 2,5 kg hergestellt wird. Für dieses System muss also ein Verlust an Auftriebskraft hingenommen werden.This solution has certain disadvantages: If the ring is thrown, its mass must be sufficient to also tear the signal light out of its holder. Therefore, the ring must have a weight of at least 4 kg, although it is otherwise manufactured with a weight of about 2.5 kg. For this system, therefore, a loss of buoyancy force must be accepted.

Ein weiterer Nachteil ist die schlechte Handhabung: Es ist schwieriger, einen 4 kg schweren Ring mit einer daran hängenden Leuchte wert und zielgenau zu werfen, als einen leichteren Ring ohne Anhänge.Another disadvantage is the bad handling: It is more difficult to throw a 4 kg heavy ring with a hanging light worth and pinpoint, as a lighter ring without attachments.

Zudem kann sich die Verbindungsleine zwischen dem Ring und der Leuchte an einem Hindernis z. B. einem Haken an der Reling o. ä. verfangen.In addition, the connection line between the ring and the light on an obstacle z. B. a hook on the railing o. Ä. Caught.

Die Signalleuchte treibt neben dem Ring im Wasser. Beim Benützen des Ringes kann der Verunglückte, der wahrscheinlich vollständig angezogen ist und sich im Wasser nur schwerfällig bewegen kann, mit der Verbindungsleine unklar kommen und dadurch die Signalleuchte unter Wasser drücken, so dass sie gar nicht zu sehen ist.The signal light drives next to the ring in the water. When using the ring, the victim, who is probably fully dressed and can move around in the water only with difficulty, with the connecting line unclear and thereby press the signal light under water so that it is not visible.

Schließlich besteht bei der nur knapp über der Wasseroberfläche treibenden Signalleuchte die Gefahr, dass sie relativ zum Schiff hinter dem Verunglückten zu liegen kommt, so dass sie vom Schiff aus gar nicht oder schlecht zu sehen ist.Finally, there is the danger that it is located relatively close to the water surface driving signal light, that it is to lie relative to the ship behind the victim, so that it is not or poorly visible from the ship.

Lösungsolution

Diese Nachteile werden durch den Patentanspruch aufgehoben, wie in 2 gezeigt. Der feste Rettungsring (1) wird mit zwei oder mehr Signallichtern (2) versehen. Die Stromversorgung und die Regelungselektronik für diese sind im Inneren des Ringes untergebracht. Das Gesamtgewicht liegt deutlich unter 3 kg. Die Signalleuchten sind von flacher Bauart und in der Form abgerundet.These disadvantages are removed by the patent claim, as in 2 shown. The solid lifebuoy ( 1 ) with two or more signal lights ( 2 ) Mistake. The power supply and the control electronics for these are housed inside the ring. The total weight is well below 3 kg. The signal lights are of flat design and rounded in shape.

Erreichte VorteileAchieved benefits

Da es keine separate Signalleuchte gibt, die aus der Halterung gerissen werden muss, kann der Ring die vorgeschriebenen 4 kg unterschreiten und hat daher eine größere Auftriebskraft.Since there is no separate signal light that must be torn from the bracket, the ring can fall below the prescribed 4 kg and therefore has a greater buoyancy.

Die Verbindungsleine und die separate Signallampe entfallen. Daher ist die Handhabung des Ringes sowohl beim Werfen als auch beim Einstieg deutlich einfacher.The connecting line and the separate signal lamp are omitted. Therefore, the handling of the ring is much easier both when throwing and at the entrance.

Die Lichter sind auf dem Ring so angeordnet, dass sie einen Abstrahlwinkel von 360° aufweisen – also kein toter Winkel” entstehen kann.The lights are arranged on the ring so that they have a beam angle of 360 ° - so no dead angle "can arise.

Ausführungsbeispielembodiment

Dank superheller, aber dennoch energiesparender Leuchtdioden ist es möglich, die technischen Vorgaben nach SOLAS zu erfüllen und zugleich die Handhabung entscheidend zu erleichtern. Bei einem Prototyp konnte ein Blitzlicht über einen Zeitraum von mehr als 24 Stunden aufrecht erhalten werden. In der SOLAS sind nur 2 Stunden vorgeschrieben. Das Gewicht der Stromversorgung betrug nur 120 g. Jede Leuchtdiode war in einer wasserdichten Kuppel vergossen, die nur 10 mm über die Ringoberfläche hinausragt und somit die Handhabung des Ringes nicht beeinträchtigt. Das Blitzlicht wird von der Regelelektronik bei Wasserkontakt automatisch in Gang gesetzt.Thanks to super-bright, yet energy-saving LEDs, it is possible to meet the technical specifications according to SOLAS and at the same time make handling much easier. In a prototype, a flashlight could be maintained over a period of more than 24 hours. Only 2 hours are required in SOLAS. The weight of the power supply was only 120 g. Each light-emitting diode was encased in a watertight dome that protrudes only 10 mm beyond the ring surface and thus does not affect the handling of the ring. The flashlight is automatically activated by the control electronics in the event of water contact.
