DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a polygonal prism life rescue buoy and a sun light reflection salvage signal which becomes a life buoy and reflects the sunlight to generate a signal for sea rescue.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a marine accident occurs, there are various types of devices for generating a signal for rescue, such as a wireless communication device, an emergency position indicating wireless marking device (e-Parbe), a flaming signal and a smoke signal tube. .

[0003]

[0005] Since accidents occur suddenly, it is not always possible to use rescue equipment prepared in advance. In the daytime, victims report that even if they fire a flare or smoke signal canister on a ship or aircraft they encounter, they are overlooked and have a very low probability of being discovered.
The present invention solves the conventional drawbacks, becomes a life-saving buoy, reflects sunlight, and continuously generates a signal for rescue for a long time.

It may be.

[0008]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it can be used as a life-saving buoy by grasping the handle or connecting a cable such as a life belt, as well as using it as a life-saving buoy. The reflected light is radiated in all directions regardless of the position of the sun floating on the water or the sea by hanging it on a mast or the like, so that it can be easily found on approaching ships, aircrafts and the like.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings, which are one embodiment of the present invention. A buoyant polygonal prism 1 is composed of a rectangular cylinder main body 2 and lid plates 3, 3, and A thick stainless steel plate is provided in an octagonal cylinder shape having a side of several tens of centimeters in length and width, and a styrofoam prism 4 adapted to the inner diameter surface of the prismatic cylinder body 2 is disposed inside the octagonal cylinder. , 3 are also formed using a stainless steel plate having an appropriate thickness, and the bent peripheral portions 3a, 3a are provided so as to be adapted to the inner diameter surfaces at both ends of the rectangular cylinder main body 2.
Are fitted into both ends of the rectangular cylinder body 2 and are fixed to the rectangular cylinder body 2 by rivets 5 or other appropriate fixing means.

Attachment holes 6, 6 are opened at the centers of the cover plates 3, 3, and a handle bar 8 made of stainless steel and one end of which is formed by bending a handle 7 is attached to the attachment hole of one cover plate 3. 6, the distal end portion 8 a of the handle bar 8 penetrating through the mounting hole 6 of the other cover plate 3 and protruding from the mounting hole 6 of the other cover plate 3
The E-ring 9 is fitted and attached. Reference numeral 10 denotes a stainless steel washer. The retaining of the distal end portion 8a of the handle rod 8 is not limited to the E-ring 9 stopper, but is not shown, but may be a nut, a split pin, a combination thereof, or a welding stopper.

Although not shown, a stainless steel handle is inserted into the mounting holes of the cover plates 3 and 3 on the outer surfaces of the cover plates 3 and 3, and the inside thereof is fixed with an E-ring, a nut and a split pin as described above. May be used alone or as a combination stop and welding stop, or a nut may be welded to the outer surface of the lid plate and a handle may be screwed and fixed to it, or a pedestal may be attached and the handle may be welded to this. Alternatively, the handle may be provided with a pedestal, and the pedestal may be provided with the handle by welding to the cover plate.

A cover plate 11 shown in FIG. 4 shows another embodiment.

[0013] The buoyant polygonal body 1, as in shown in the figure, rather than also to be limited <br/> to the number and the vertical or symmetrical regular polygon in cross section a trapezoidal asymmetrical It is optional. The outer shape and the size of one side are not limited to those in the above-described embodiment, and may be larger or smaller. However, the solar reflective surface 12 of the buoyant polygonal prism 1
The size of one side of the outer surface constituting the above must be such that the reflected signal light from sunlight reaches a ship or an aircraft passing through the vicinity, and is recognized by an occupant, a worker, or the like as a distress signal.

In the above-described embodiment, the solar reflecting surface 12 of the buoyant polygonal column 1 uses the constituent members as they are. However, the surface of the buoyant polygonal column made of any material is mirror-finished by plating or the like or a mirror plate or the like. The sticking process may be performed.

[0015]

As described above, the polygonal column life-saving buoy / sunlight reflection salvage signal of the present invention is as described above. Because it is upset by the influence, as long as the sun is out, it reflects the sun in all directions regardless of its altitude, continues to emit distress signals seeking rescue, and ships, aircraft crews and workers navigating nearby And raises the probability of discovery that was often overlooked in the past.

Also, when the polygonal prism type life buoy / sunlight reflecting rescue signal is dropped on water or on the sea and floats, it shakes under the influence of waves and reflects sunlight in all directions. A distress signal can be emitted from the sea, or it can be safely drifted in a state where it can be easily found on the sea until the victim grasps it or joins a life belt cord to receive rescue. is there.

As described above, the polygonal prism-shaped life-saving buoy / sunlight-reflecting salvage signal of the present invention enlarges the reflection area of sunlight as compared with the conventional one, and makes it difficult to find it on a conventionally vast ocean surface. Is a practical solution to the search and
It has immeasurable effects on rescue.
