ES2397392A2 - Autonomous floating system self-illuminated for one or several persons (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding) - Google Patents

Abstract

The object of the patent is an autonomous flotation system equipped with its own lighting powered by rechargeable batteries, for one or several people, suitable to be used in cases of emergency or assistance at night or low visibility, which can also be used in normal conditions of good lighting, and may even have utility as a playful or decorative element. This flotation system can be optionally equipped with a gps system, gps, powered by the system's own batteries, which will additionally facilitate the location of stray persons protected by the equipment. Also optionally the system can have an external connection to, for example, recharge a mobile phone, and in this way give the set an additional possibility of location.

Description

Self-illuminated autonomous flotation system for one ovarian people

SECTOR OF THE TECHNIQUE

The scope of the technique in which this invention is situated is halfway between the marine-fishing sector, civil protection and the recreational and leisure sector in which water is an important element.

Within this proposed range, the self-illuminated flotation system must be located among the different equipment or components that the industry supplies so that both sailors, sailors or fishermen, as professionals or civil protection volunteers can carry out their work more safely and effectively.

In addition to these possibilities, the possibility of using the self-illuminated flotation system in recreational or leisure environments where water or adventure have an important role should not be mentioned.

STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE

Everyone knows the existence and usefulness of floats for people, both in the fishing sector or in the merchant marine, as in the recreational field in boats, beaches, swimming pools and much more.

Floats for existing people have very different shapes, ranging from the traditional toric float or vest, for one person, to the lifeboat for several people.

Some of these floats are equipped with reflectors that allow them to be better detected when they are illuminated by a spotlight, but we do not know about the existence of floats equipped with their own lighting that facilitate a better location at times of low onocturnity visibility.

We have found some patents of floats with lighting in the fishing field (references 290463 or 262592), but they are not intended to float people, but serve as an aid to, for example, illuminate the point where the hook has fallen in the water , a totally different objective from the one intended to be achieved with the present invention.

Additionally, the self-illuminated flotation system can be equipped with a GPS positioning system, powered by the same batteries as the lighting system. A search for devices that work with this technology has been carried out and if several solutions have been found, but none applied even a flotation system for an ovarian people with their own lighting.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the patent is an autonomous flotation system equipped with its own lighting powered by rechargeable batteries, for one or several people, suitable for use in cases of emergency or assistance at night or low visibility hours, which can also be used in normal conditions of good lighting, and may even be useful as a recreational or recreational element.

This flotation system may optionally be equipped with a GPS satellite mapping system, powered by the system's own batteries, which will further facilitate the location of lost persons protected by the system.

Also, the system can optionally have an external connection to, for example, recharge a mobile phone, and thus give the set an additional location possibility.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The self-illuminated autonomous flotation system, for one or more people, must have a component with

lower water wing density that allows one or more people to remain safe in water

deep. This float will be equipped with a light bulb or LEO lighting system, powered by

25

rechargeable batteries. The batteries may be recharged by photoelectric cells, during the day, or with

some autonomous system of electricity generation that transforms, for example, mechanical energy

contributed to a crank in electric power.

The lighting mechanism will be equipped with a sensory system that will prevent its ignition when not

as necessary and a system of switches that allow its on or off manually or

30

automatic Dry, the general switch will work manually, to prevent the discharge of the

batteries when stored or at night, when it is not necessary. On the surface of the water, the

switch will automatically work on itself when the surrounding light does not exceed a

level typified as threshold.

The whole set will be hermetic so that it does not lose its operating capacity even if it has to

35

be floating for several months in the water.

It can be provided with a GPS satellite positioning system, powered by its own

Rechargeable batteries that emit an encoded rescue signal.

The geometry of the flotation system can be diverse:

   Classic B O-ring float (figure 1).

An elliptical shaped float, which best suits the shape of the torso (figure 2).

Flotation equipment at the service of security, rescue and civil protection personnel on the high seas,

sea coast, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, beaches or swimming pools, which can have different forms: bullet,

spherical or even stretcher type (figure 3).

5

Tables of bafío, surf, wind-surf osimilar, as it can be the case of a mat (figure 4).

A classic boat in which more than one person can be helped (figure 5).

A single-person vest (figure 6).

It can be used at sea, as an additional aid in lifeboats or similar. In sailboats and boats

Sports or recreational. In all types of safety systems for risk sports such as rafting,

1 o

canoeing, canoeing, etc. On beaches, rivers, lakes, reservoirs or pools. On land as a system of

location of people lost in the mountain or snow.

It can be noted that the illuminated vest can also be used

yet when there is no water

deep to help, for example, those lost in the countryside, in the mountains or wild places.

An output connection can be incorporated to use the battery charger to power a phone

fifteen

mobile and power, in this way, keep the mobile phone active for the necessary time. This connection can

also feed a radio device, an MP3 sound player or a video player type

MP4, with recreational or recreational objectives.
