Definitions
- the present invention relates to a safety device for equipment buoys, especially for buoys intended for children.
- the invention proposes to provide a security device allowing the use of buoys, in particular by children, in conditions such that the possible reversal of these does not constitute a additional peril factor.
- the security device is remarkable in that it includes a rigid centering and support element defining an opening central dimensioned to allow the passage of the lower part of the body of a user, and a flexible seat attached to this rigid element, and developable below the latter, this seat comprising at least two openings for the passage of the legs, said rigid element comprising a belt part and centering extending parallel or substantially parallel to the axis of said opening and a support flange presented by the upper portion of said part.
- the device thus produced can be positioned, according to its dimensions, in the central opening of a children's buoy or an adult buoy, being observed that the application to children's buoys is more particularly targeted.
- the device rests on the upper face of the buoy by its support flange and it is centered in the central opening of said buoy by means of its part of belt and centering.
- the set can be used as a breeches buoy.
- the child is installed in this set, so that when launching of the latter, he sits on the seat.
- the safety device will automatically detach from the buoy and the child can go back to the surface without being prevented by the buoy.
- this buoy when a child is installed in a buoy equipped with a safety device according to the invention, this buoy has no propensity to turn around. In this case, the presence of the child acts as a ballast effectively opposing the overturning of the buoy.
- the device for centering and centering the device may have a diameter allowing its installation on children's buoys.
- the safety device also includes a positioning crown delimiting a central opening dimensioned to allow the passage of the lifting equipment previously described and the periphery of which is provided with fixing means allowing its removable attachment to a buoy, said accessory also preferably comprising a centering skirt delimiting said central opening.
- This device comprises a rigid centering and support element 1 delimiting an axial opening O1 and a flexible seat 2 attached to said element and developable below the latter, the assembly constituting equipment of lift.
- the centering and support element 1 comprises a portion of belt and centering 3 extending parallel or substantially parallel to the axis of the opening O1 and a support flange 4 secured to the upper portion of said part 3.
- the belt and centering part may be constituted by a wide cylindrical belt.
- This belt 3 and the collar 4 can be formed in one piece of any suitable rigid plastic material.
- Wall internal cylindrical of the belt 3 can be provided with a flexible coating 5 for example constituted by a layer of plastic foam and which can be reported by gluing or molded in one piece with the rigid carcass 3-4 by a bi-material molding process.
- the cylindrical belt 3 can have a corresponding length substantially the thickness of a buoy B, for example a length of the order from 50 to 70 mm, while the circular collar 4 can have a width to partially cover the upper surface of buoy B when the lifting equipment 1-2 is positioned on a buoy, and, for example, a width of the order of 30 to 40 mm.
- the seat 2 can be made of fabric or flexible plastic and it has at least two O2 openings for the passage of the child's legs. It can be fixed by gluing or otherwise, for example on the internal wall of the belt 3 ( Figures 2, 4 and 8). To facilitate the use of the device, seat 2 can present, in top view, the shape of a cross, so as to delimit four O2 leg passage openings.
- the seat 2 In the use position, the seat 2 extends below the belt 3 to which it is suspended.
- the seat 2 is consisting of two flexible bands 2a crossed and assembled in their part median (by sewing or welding, depending on the nature of the material in which said strips) and the ends of these strips are provided with a flexible self-gripping fastening tab 2b of the "Velcro" type (registered trademark).
- the flange 4 has four pairs of parallel slots 4a spaced 90 ° apart, said slots being oriented perpendicular to radii of circle delimited by said flange. The pairs of slots 4a are placed near the belt 3, so as to clear a space below of the flange 4 and to allow the support thereof on a buoy.
- Figures 3 and 4 show the safety device of the invention positioned on a conventional buoy B consisting of an inflatable annular rod.
- the security device described above can advantageously be supplemented by a positioning crown intended to be fixed on a buoy and support said device.
- This positioning crown is preferably made in all suitable rigid plastic, which may be identical to that used for the execution of the carcass 3-4. It includes a circular support surface 7 surrounding a central opening 03 delimited by a short cylindrical skirt 8, this opening being dimensioned to allow the passage of seat 2 and the belt 3, said skirt having a lower height than that of said belt.
- the positioning crown is provided with attachment means 9 allowing to fix it, removably, on a buoy, these attachment means being, preferably evenly distributed around the periphery of the circular support surface 7.
- attachment means 9 can advantageously be constituted by straps or straps engaged in slots 10 formed at the periphery of the support surface circular 7 and the ends of which are provided with a closure system 11 such that Velcro closure (registered trademark) or other.
- Figures 7 and 8 show a positioning ring 6 fixed on a buoy B and lift equipment 1 installed on this ring of positioning.
- the height of the skirt 8 can be reduced to a few millimeters (for example example of the order of 10 to 15 mm), while the belt 3 has, externally, ribs 12 oriented parallel to the axis of said belt, these ribs being preferably regularly spaced.
- This arrangement makes it possible to reduce the extent of the surfaces of the crown positioning 6 and lifting equipment 1, which may find in contact and, thereby, remove any possibility of jamming.
- the flange 4 of the lifting equipment 1-2 and the circular support area 7 are, from preferably provided with means opposing the rotation of said equipment.
- the flange 4 of the lifting equipment 1-2 may include, on its underside, a lug 13 oriented in the downward direction, while the range circular support 7 of the positioning crown 6 has a hole 14 for the engagement of said lug.
