Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a lifejacket that is suitable in particular for the safety of people in the sea or any other water environment. Once it is dressed, it allows persons to be easily buoyant on water, and to move and swim in a very comfortable way. It is made of a basic structure that includes air bubbles and/or air cells, having small size, and contained between an outer water-proof tissue and an inner soft tissue.
  • the main objective of the present invention is to propose a lifejacket that is suitable, in particular, for the safety of people in the sea or any other water environment. Once it is dressed, the lifejacket should allow persons to be easily buoyant on water, and to move and swim in a very comfortable way.
  • Another objective of the same invention is to disclose a lifejacket that is made of a basic structure that includes air bubbles and/or air cells, having small size, and contained between an outer water-proof tissue and an inner soft tissue.
  • Another further objective of the same invention is to disclose a lifejacket that is comfortable to be used for water sports, like i.e. surf, windsurf, sailing, canoe or swimming.
  • FIG. 1 it is represented a lifejacket 10, in respective front, rear and right-lateral views, according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • This lifejacket 10 is mainly composed of a shell, having an outer skin 11, possibly a water-proof one, and an inner skin 12, that is soft and directly in contact with the body of the person wearing it.
  • the outer 11 and inner skin 12 are jointed each other, and closed at respective borders, so that they realize a unique object.
  • a set of air chambers 14 are strongly connected and placed into the inner space, between said outer skin 11 and inner skin 12.
  • These air chambers 14 are of small size, with a thickness between 5 and 12 mm (when inflated), so that they do not hinder but they facilitate the movements of said person.
  • the lifejacket 10 In order to inflate the air chambers 14, the lifejacket 10 includes a set of microvalves 16, that allow the communication of inner air, with the whole lifejacket 10 kept on pressure simultaneously. Air can be pushed inside through a retractable spout 13 having a double safety valve.
  • a retractable spout 13 In an alternative solution, instead of said set of microvalves, there is a unique general input microvalve 13, with a set of respective communication micro-holes. In such a way, a unique microvalve 13 guarantees that the whole lifejacket 10 is kept on pressure.
  • the lifejacket 10 can be realized using natural or synthetic materials, and in any case using an elastic tissue, able to contain inside said air chambers 14 inflated.
  • the same lifejacket 10 can be realized on measure, according to different body sizes of different people, with different models for men and women.
  • said lifejacket 10 includes some proper opening and closing means 15.
  • these opening and closing means 15 are composed of VelcroTM, that is a synthetic tissue and consists of two layers: a "hook” side, which is a piece of fabric covered with tiny hooks, and a "loop" side, which is covered with even smaller and "hairier” loops. These two layers are placed laterally (i.e. at the right side like in figure 3 ), so that the lifejacket 10 can be dressed from the top and laterally, inserting the head, and can be closed on the side using the above layers of VelcroTM.
  • these opening and closing means 15 are composed of a opening-closing zip fastener 31, placed on the front side and oriented in the vertical direction.
  • the basic structure 40 belonging to lifejacket 10, including air cells and microvalves.
  • These air cells 14 have a preferred height between 20 and 60 mm and a width between 50 and 150 mm.
  • the outer skin 11 and inner skin 12 have a thickness between 1 and 1,5 mm each, and can contain inside another soft, synthetic and not adsorbent skin.
  • the air cells 14 are jointed inside said lifejacket 10, using a fusion welding 18, and a reinforcement seam, having approximately a thickness of 2 mm.
  • FIGS 6, 7 and 8 it is represented a lifejacket 20, in respective front, rear and right-lateral views, according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, wherein said air chambers 14 consist of permanent air bubbles 21.
  • the air bubbles 21 can be inflated from time to time, according to the above described procedure (with inner microvalves), or can be definitely inflated and sealed during the first realization of the lifejacket 20 in factory.
  • FIG 9, 10 and 11 it is represented a lifejacket 30, in respective front, rear and right-lateral views, according to a third preferred embodiment of the present invention, wherein said opening and closing means 15 are composed of a opening-closing zip fastener 31 as above described.
  • FIG. 12 and 13 it is represented, in respective front and lateral sectioned views, the basic structure 50, belonging to lifejackets 20 and 30, including permanent air bubbles 21.
  • These air bubbles 21 have a preferred thickness between 5 and 12 mm (when inflated), a height between 20 and 60 mm, and a width between 50 and 150 mm.
  • the outer skin 26 and inner skin 27 have, either in this case, a thickness between 1 and 1,5 mm each, and can contain inside another soft, synthetic and not adsorbent skin.
  • the air bubbles 21 are jointed inside said lifejackets 20 and 30, using a fusion welding, and a reinforcement seam, having approximately a thickness of 2 mm.
  • the lifejacket provides a lifejacket that is suitable, in particular, for the safety of people in the sea or any other water environment. Once it is dressed, it allows persons to be easily buoyant on water, and to move and swim in a very comfortable way.
  • the disclosed lifejacket is made of a basic structure that includes air bubbles and/or air cells, having small size, and contained between an outer water-proof tissue and an inner soft tissue.
  • the disclosed lifejacket is comfortable to be used for water sports, like i.e. surf, windsurf, sailing, canoe or swimming.

  1. Gilet de sauvetage (10), porté par une personne dans la mer ou dans tous les autres milieus aquatiques. II inclut:
    - une surface externe (11) et une surface interne (12) qui touche le corps de l'utilisateur; les deux surfaces externe (11) et interne (12) sont jointes et fermées dans leur bords, à constituer une seule pièce, composée par:
    - des chambres à air (14), placées de façon stable et inclues dans l'espace intérieur entre la surface externe (11) et la surface interne (12), car les chambres à air (14) ont des dimensions réduites par rapport à la grandeur globale du gilet, de façon de ne pas empécher les mouvements de la personne, mais à les faciliter. Les chambres à air (14) ont une épaisseur entre 5 et 12 mm, quand elles sont gonflées, une hauteur entre 20 et 60 mm, et une largeur entre 50 et 150 mm; chaque surface externe (11) et chaque surface interne (12) ont une épaisseur entre 1 et 1,5 mm, et elles peuvent contenir à leur intérieur un supplémentaire voile doux, synthétique et non-absorbant; les chambres à air (14) sont fixées à l'intérieur du gilet (10) avec une soudure à chaud (18) et avec une couture de renfort avec une épaisseur de 2 mm environ.
    - moyens (16) pour l'immission de l'air, ce qu'on appelle les valves de l'exterieur vers l'interieur des chambres d'air (14), de façon qu'on peut gonfler les chambres d'air (14) et qu'elles peuvent garantir la fonction de flottement sur l'eau.
    - moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture (15), qui permettent au gilet (10) d'être facilement mis et enlevé par l'utilisateur. Ces moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture (15) sont constitués par de bandes en Velcro®, c'est-à-dire un tissu synthétique où une bande est dotée de petit crochets flexibles tandis que l'autre bande a des boucles serrés et emmêlés où ces petit crochets s'accrochent.
