Description

  The present invention is intended to be used by being attached to various lifesaving devices installed on the deck of a ship or the like.

  A variety of life-saving devices on the current deck are connected to a part of the lifebuoy with a self-igniting lamp for lighting when dropped in a nighttime emergency. In addition, a retroreflective material or the like that is reflected upon irradiation with a search light of a rescue ship is fixed to the lifebuoy and the solid lifebuoy.

  In recent years, the technology of solar cells has been improved, and the reduction in size and weight has become remarkable. The present invention is invented in order to make it easy to be found on a rescue ship when it is connected or fixed to various lifesaving devices installed on the deck using these technologies, and when it is dropped or thrown in at night. It is intended to increase the rescue rate in the event of a life fall in the sea or in a distress.

  The present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a life preserver, where (1) is a lifebuoy, (2) is a retroreflective material, and (3) is a catching cord. The light emitter (4) is connected to one cable of the catch cable (3) by the connection cable (5). FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the structure of the light emitter (4). The light emitting part (7) is provided on the top of the solar cell (6), and the outside is covered with a material such as a robust synthetic resin. Furthermore, the cover (8) which covered the outer side with the same material is provided. An air chamber (9) is provided between the upper part of the light emitter (4) and the cover (8). A hole-like projection (10) is provided at an appropriate portion of the cover (8), and the connecting line (5) is connected.

  3 and 4 show a part of the solid lifebuoy (11) and the lifeboat (12) installed on the deck of the ship. (2a) shows a retroreflective material. A light emitting device (4) is connected to a catching cable (3a) by a connecting cable (5) near the right and left sides of both sides of the lifeboat (12) and the right part of the solid lifebuoy (11). .

  FIG. 5 is the same drawing as FIG. 2 except that the light emitting part (7) is the transmitting part (13), and the other parts are the same as described above. The transmitter cable (5a) is connected to the transmitter (14), and the lifebuoy (1a), the solid lifebuoy (11a), and the lifeboat (12a) shown in FIGS. 6, 7, and 8, respectively. It is connected to the catch cable (3b).

  FIG. 9 is different in structure from the above. That is, (4a) is a light emitter, (6a) is a solar cell, and (7a) is a light emitting part. A casing (15) is provided around the lower side of the light emitter (4a), and screw holes (16) are provided at several appropriate portions. FIG. 10 shows a perspective view thereof.

  FIG. 11 shows that the light emitter (4a) is attached to the lifebuoy ring (1b) with screws or the like, and it seems appropriate to attach it to both sides of the lifebuoy ring (1b).

  FIG. 12 shows a solid lifebuoy (11b) with a light emitter (4a) attached. When an emergency drop is made, the upper and lower parts are placed at the upper and lower parts so that the light emission can be easily seen no matter which is on the upper surface. Provided (since up to five solid lifebuoys (11b) are stacked, it seems inappropriate to mount the light emitter (4a) on the upper and lower planes). FIG. 13 shows the lifeboat (12b) with the light emitters (4a) attached to appropriate parts before and after both sides. Although the lifeboat (12b) in the drawing shows a fully enclosed type, in the open-type lifeboat, a light emitter (4a) is provided at an appropriate portion where sunlight hits.

  FIG. 14 is the same drawing as FIG. 9, but shows a transmitter (14a) having the light emitting portion (7a) as a transmitting portion (13a), and the other structure is the same as described above. . FIGS. 15, 16, and 17 show a lifebuoy (1c), a solid lifebuoy (11c), and a lifeboat (12c) each having a transmitter (14a) attached thereto.

  The present invention is as described above. Since the light emitters (4, 4a) and the transmitters (14, 14a) charged with sunlight in the daytime always emit light at night and transmit, In the case of a distress etc., it seems that each life-saving device (1, 1a, 1b, 1c), (11, 11a, 11b, 11c), (12, 12a, 12b, 12c) is likely to be found (rainy all day) Etc., and the effect may be lessened in bad weather).

  The viewing distance of the light emitters (4, 4a) depends on the weather, but at present it seems to be about several tens of meters. In the case of the transmitter (14, 14a), if a pulse wave is used, it seems that a reach of several hundred meters to several kilometers can be expected with a minute current. 14a) seems to be very effective (in this case, a rescue ship or the like needs a receiver).

  According to the Ship Life Saving Equipment Regulations in the Maritime Law, there are about 4 lifebuoys for passenger ships in the plain water area and about 30 for large passenger ships engaged in international voyages. About half of them are connected to self-igniting lamps (a mechanism that automatically emits light when a battery is urgently dropped). The present invention is intended to complement current lifebuoy equipment (functions), and if solar cells are small, light, high performance, and inexpensive, they cannot be attached to all lifebuoys. I think. In addition, it is convinced that other lifesaving devices on the deck will be more effective, and that the rescue lifesaving rate can be improved.

  In order to attach the light emitter (4a) and the transmitter (14a) of the present invention to the lifesaving devices (1b, 1c), (11b, 11c), (12b, 12c), it is necessary to revise the ship lifesaving equipment regulations. Therefore, as a previous step, the light emitter (4) and the transmitter (14) are connected to the lifesaving devices (1, 1a), (11, 11a), (12, 12a) with the connecting cords (5, 5a). )) Is used as a life-saving equipment, and when the effect of the present invention is recognized thereafter, the revision of the law may be possible.

  The embodiment of the present invention includes a light-emitting device (4) connected to a catching cord (3, 3a) of each lifesaving device (1, 1a), (11, 11a), (12, 12a) with a connecting cord (5, 5a). Are connected. At that time, it seems that a slight angle adjustment is necessary so that the air chamber (9) faces outward (to make it easy to receive sunlight). This is the same when the transmitter (14) is connected. When the lifesaving device (1, 1a), (11, 11a), (12, 12a) in this state is thrown in at night, the light emitter (4) and the transmitter (14) are moved by the air chamber (9). It continues to emit light and transmit while facing upward at sea (in the case of a lifeboat (12, 12a), it continues to emit light and transmit on the sea surface).

  When the light emitter (4a) and the transmitter (14a) are attached to the lifesaving devices (1b, 1c), (11b, 11c), (12b, 12c), the adjustment or the like becomes unnecessary. Further, since the lifebuoy (1b), the light emitting part (4a), and the transmitter (14a) are integrated, there is an advantage that the lifebuoy can be dropped further than the light emitter (4) and transmitter (14) (both sides). It is possible to send and receive light regardless of which side is up).

  Solar cell type lighting fixtures and the like have already been used in various places. The present invention is an example of this, but as described above, if the size and weight are reduced, the use field and the use value are expected to further increase. A solar cell type target tracking device or the like can be considered.
