Abstract

An inflatable article adapted for automatic inflation, for example a life jacket, an inflatable suit, or a life raft, including means 3, 26 for inflating the article with a gas, and a diaphragm 7 for comparing the ambient fluid pressure with the internal gas pressure in a closed flexible compartment such as the internal space of the article and for activating the said inflation means automatically when the ambient fluid pressure exceeds by a predetermined amount the internal gas pressure in the said compartment. <IMAGE>
