Definitions

  • wetsuits or clothing made of waterproof cellular rubber or flexible closed-cell foam of the neoprene type or similar or equivalent derivatives has already been produced. benefits both a certain buoyancy and an isothermal effect which protects the user against cooling.
  • this garment does not include a hood and does not protect the head and especially the neck against the cold; on the other hand, it is too short to protect the belly and the groin; finally, it uses a central closure going from the neck to the bottom of the tunic, which obliges the user to associate the lower initial ends of the closure to ensure the operation of the latter, a maneuver which is easy to perform outside of any situation emergency, but which, in case of panic, involves the risk of seeing the garment lose its effectiveness and remain completely open.
  • the subject of the present invention is a life jacket devoid of these drawbacks, that is to say, easy to put on quickly and to close in safe operation, isothermal and. Ensuring the necessary buoyancy suitably arranged.
  • the life jacket according to the invention is isothermal due to its realization in waterproof cellular material, or flexible plastic foam with closed cells of the Neoprene type or the like, provided with at least one ventral float and one neck float, characterized in that it has the shape of a short tunic with short sleeves and a hood enclosing the head, said tunic being split down to the bottom on both sides, by slots provided with quick-closing means.
  • the life jacket of the invention is made of a short tunic 1, with short sleeves 2 and 3, made of waterproof cellular rubber (of the neoprene sheet type or the like). a thickness of the order of a centimeter), this tunic comprising a lateral slit 4 on each side, extending from the underside of the armpits to the bottom of the tunic; the slots 4 are provided with quick closing means 5 of the slide fastening type; the tunic 1 is further provided with chest floats 6 fixed at a distance of several centimeters by flexible fixing means 7; it finally comprises a hood 8 enclosing the head, which hood is provided with a float 9 placed at the nape of the neck.
  • tunic By short tunic, one understands a tunic covering the belly and the groin as well as the birth of the thighs, but not the legs, the knees or the lower part of the thighs.
  • Short sleeves mean sleeves covering the shoulders and armpits, but ending above the elbow.
  • Such a tunic is easy and quick to put on because it does not cover the legs or the arms and thanks to the slots 4-as it does not have to be closed by a closure going from the hood to the bottom of the tunic - It covers the body automatically without risk of difficulty in maneuvering due to a closure which the user fails to associate the initial ends, for example due to panic.
  • the closures 5 are indeed engaged from the start and it suffices to lower them to tighten the tunic without having to engage their initial ends.
  • the floats 6 being mounted at a distance from the body by the flexible links 7, if the user comes to lie on his stomach, in the water, they immediately take a lateral position which automatically causes the user to turn over on his back . Any possible air pocket that remains housed in the tunic at the nape of the neck then escapes through the opening of the hood.
  • the float 9 has the shape of a horseshoe and is also mounted at a distance from the hood, attached to the neck of the latter, by means of the flexible connection 10.
  • the distance, or width of the link 10 will preferably be of the order of 4 to 5 cm.
  • the floats 6 are fixed on the tunic 1 at a greater distance in the lower part than in the upper part.
  • this distance will be of the order of 2 cm for the upper part, for 8 to 10 cm for the lower part ( Figure 4).
  • This arrangement has the effect of placing the body in the water, in an inclined position, the legs lower than the head.
  • the sleeves 2 are provided with slots 11 provided with zippers 12.
  • This arrangement facilitates donning of the vest while allowing good adaptation of the sleeves to the arms.
  • the slots 4 and 11 are completed by all or part of the arrangements illustrated in FIG. 2, namely, an internal skirt or even a bellows 13 and an external skirt 14 which folds over the tunic and is fixed thereon by simple contact, by means of fabric bands with hooks or loop fasteners 15.
  • the zippers 5 and 12 are not mounted directly on the tunic 1, but by means of bands of elastic fabric 16. This allows a better adaptation and a better tightening of the tunic 1 on the body of the user without having to increase the size of life jackets too much.
  • Carded cotton has the property of being water repellent and it provides particularly effective thermal insulation of the nape of the neck, that is to say of the spinal bulb, which constitutes an essential measure of survival.
  • the thickness of the carded cotton layer will be of the order of 2 to 5 cm.
  • the vest is completed by a subcutaneous strap 19, which preferably is fixed by its front end to the belly of the tunic by means of a closure 20, 21 in loop fabric, while the rear end is attached to the back of the tunic.
  • the fitting of the subcutaneous strap 19 is independent of the strap 22 so that this fitting does not depend on the proper operation of the closure 23.
  • the floats 6 are made in several pieces ( Figure 4) in order to better match the curve of the body.
  • the floats 6 could, for example, be masses of plastic foam, rigid or not, with closed cells, enclosed in envelopes of fabric ensuring flexible connections 7 and 10. Any other material or volume of low density, cellular or not, can be used for the constitution of the floats.
  • the upper part of the floats 6 is of smaller section than their lower part, which gives them a greater buoyancy reserve at the bottom than at the top. The same result could be achieved by using materials of lower density in the lower part of the floats than in their upper part.
  • the life jacket according to the invention will preferably be provided with additional provisions, such as pockets containing whistle, ice, etc. and in particular the radar reflector locating device described in French patent application FR-A-2 469 934 filed on November 19, 1979, in the name of the applicant.
  • the light gas bottle of this latter device was housed in one of the ventral floats.
  • the material of the tunic may vary with the discovery of technology.
  • the waterproof cellular rubber, type Neoprene is ideal; other flexible cellular products, for example, certain plastic foams can be substituted for it.
  • the invention is not limited to the choice of constituent materials.
