Water plug

The present invention relates to an air bag (hereinafter referred to as a water plug), the inflated state of which prevents water from entering openings in buildings, houses, warehouses, etc. In addition, it can also be used for sealing rooms, openings and the like, as protection against dust, dirt and similar materials.

The water plug (1) is preferably made of commercially available materials such as rubber, linen and the like or of a mixed material made therefrom.

The size (extension) of the water plug (1) is based on the standards for house, cellar and apartment doors and windows, but can be adapted in size and volume to the respective circumstances and conditions as required.

The water plug (1) is inflated through at least one existing valve (5) using conventional inflation devices up to a predetermined overpressure, preferably up to 3 atm and then withstands a pre-calculated overload. This is approximately 400 kg at 3 atm.

Telescopic rods, telescopic tubes, rods, tubes and the like made of metal, plastic or similar materials are pulled through the loops (2) integrated into the water plug (1) as stabilizers (6), which are attached to the inflated water plug (1)

Provide support and thus prevent the bag from spilling out of the openings to be closed.

Depending on the size of the bag, ropes, lines or similar can also be pulled through the hollow rivets, eyelets or similar in the beads (4), the ends of which are connected to wall fastenings, e.g. hooks. In addition to the stabilizers (6), they provide additional hold for the water plug (1).

6 = Stabilizers

The purpose of the invention is to seal rooms, building openings and the like against water, dirt, dust and similar material.

The solution to this problem arises from claim 1. Further possible solutions and improvements arise from the subclaims.

The water plug (1) can be used, for example, in the event of imminent flooding or when large amounts of dirt are expected, e.g. during construction work. It is placed empty in windows, door frames and the like. It is then inflated to about half its capacity. The stabilizers (6) are then threaded through the loops and eyelets.

or the like (2) and inserted into the eye loops. The water plug (1) is then pumped up to the required final pressure so that the beads (3) stretch from the inside and outside in front of the frames of doors, windows or similar wall openings and thus seal the opening in question. This prevents the ingress of water, dirt, dust and similar materials.

The water plug is easy to transport after use and can be stored in a space-saving manner.

Claims (6)

Protection claims 1) Water plug, characterized in that it consists of an air bag of variable size to which loops, eyelets or the like (2) are attached at a predetermined location. 2) Water plug according to claim 1, characterized in that protruding beads (3) up to 10 cm wide are present on the edges of each of the four sides. 3) Water stopper according to the preceding claims, characterized in that hollow rivets (4) are embedded at predetermined locations on all four sides within the beads. 4) Water plug according to the preceding claims, characterized in that at least one valve (5) is present. 5) Water stopper according to the preceding claims, characterized in that it consists of commercially available materials, in particular rubber/linen or the like. 6) Water plug according to the preceding claims, characterized in that stabilizers, telescopic rods, metal rods and the like are pulled through the loops.
