  • a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a life-saving bracelet, which includes an air bag for accommodating air therein; an air cylinder including compressed air therein; a control valve connected between the air bag and the air cylinder for controlling air supply from the gas cylinder to the air bag; when the control valve is closed, the air cylinder stops supplying air to the air bag; when the control valve is opened, the air cylinder supplies air to the air bag; a casing for accommodating the air bag, the air cylinder, and the control valve; at least a part of the casing is able to break or open by the pressure of inflating the air bag to allow the air bag extending outside the casing; and a ring body connected to the casing and being wearable to the human body.
  • the ring body has a strip, a first connecting portion at one end of the strip, and a second connecting portion at another end of the strip; the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion can be connected to or detached apart from each other repeatedly; the casing is connected to the strip.
  • the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are Velcro.
  • the ring body includes two strips, one end of each of the two strip are connected to both sides of the casing, and another end of each of the two strips are detachably connected to each other by a Velcro or a buckle.
  • the cover can break or open by the pressure of inflating the air bag.
  • a side of the casing forms a through hole communicating inside and outside of the casing; the control valve is provided with a control button extending outside of the through hole.
  • the aforementioned life-saving bracelet further includes a protective cover pivotally disposed on the casing, the protective cover is able to pivotally rotate back and forth between a protective position and an open position; wherein when the protective cover is at the protective position, the protective cover covers the control button of the control valve to prevent an outer force from touching the control button; when the protective cover is at the open position, the control button is exposed to outside.
  • the aforementioned life-saving bracelet further includes a global positioning system module.
  • the preferred embodiment of the present invention is light-weighted, it is very convenient to the user doing water activities. Besides, the air bag is folded and stored inside the casing before being inflated, which will not influence the agility of the user when doing water activities, and thus very suitable to be used in water activities or taking a boat ride.
  • a preferred embodiment of the life-saving bracelet 100 includes a ring body 10, a casing 20, an air bag 30, an air cylinder 40, a control valve 50, and a protective cover 60.
  • the ring body 10 is connected to the casing 20.
  • the ring body 10 can be a hard or a flexible material for being fastened to the user's body, such as wrist or arm.
  • the material can be a braid or a plastic band.
  • the ring body 10 has a strip 11, a first connecting portion 12 at an end of a front side of the strip 11, and a second connecting portion 13 at another end of a back side of the strip 11.
  • the first connecting portion 12 is the fabric hook surface of the Velcro
  • the second connecting portion 13 is the loop fastener.
  • the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 13 can repeatedly attach or detach to each other.
  • first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 13 can also be other types of buckling device.
  • the ring body 10 (or strip 11) can also be two strips 11. On end of each of the two strips 11 is attached to the casing 20, and another end of each of the two strips 11 is connected or detached by the Velcro or other buckle equipment. (not shown in the FIG.)
  • the casing 20 can accommodate other aforementioned elements.
  • the casing 20 connects to one side of the ring body 10.
  • the casing 20 is connected to the outer middle segment of the strip 11 of the ring body 10.
  • a part of the casing 20, such as an outer side surface, is covered by a cover 21.
  • the cover 21 can be broken or opened by a predetermined pressure. Therefore, the material of the cover 21 can be glass or plastic which is easy to break, so that the cover 21 can break when being under pressure.
  • the cover 21 can also be positioned on the casing 20 by latching. The cover 21 can be pressed to open due to the elasticity of the plastic cover 21 (not shown in the FIG.).
  • one side of the casing 20 is formed with a through hole 22 communicating inside and outside of the casing 20.
  • the air bag 30 can accommodate air, and the air bag 30 is folded and stored inside the casing 20.
  • the air bag 30 can be inflated by air.
  • the air cylinder 40 is stored with compressed air, such as air, nitrogen, or other inert gas.
  • compressed air such as air, nitrogen, or other inert gas.
  • the air cylinder 40 is fixed inside the casing 20 and is able to release the air or gas under control by the user.
  • the control valve 50 is connected between the air bag 30 and the air cylinder 40.
  • the control valve 50 has a control button 51 extending outside of the through hole 22 of the casing 20.
  • the control button 51 can be a button or a knob.
  • the control valve 50 stops the communication of the air bag 30 and the air cylinder 40.
  • the control valve 50 will be opened to communicate the air bag 30 and the air cylinder 40, so as to release the gas or air in the air cylinder 40 to the air bag 30.
  • the protective cover 60 is pivotally installed on the casing 20 and being able to reciprocally and pivotally rotate between the open position and the protective position.
  • the protective cover 60 covers the control button 51 of the control valve 50 to prevent outer force from pushing the control button 51.
  • the control button 51 can be exposed to outside to allow outer force pushing the control button 51.
  • the user can fasten the ring body 10 on the arm, which is wrapping the strip 11 around the arm and then attaching or buckling the first connecting portion 12 to the second connecting portion 13 so that the ring body 10 can be fixed to the arm, and thus completing the wearing process of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • the user can switch the protective cover 60 to the open position as soon as possible, and press the control button 51 of the control valve 50 to release the air in the air cylinder 40 to the air bag 30 immediately.
