Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a water rescue device, and more particularly to a new water rescue device that facilitates throwing a floating bag to a far distance when a person drowning in a river or the sea is rescued.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Every year, more than 100 people drown while playing in the lake or the sea. In addition, there are many cases where people who go to the rescue drown.

[0003] Therefore, a monitoring station is provided during the water play season, and some stations are equipped with rescue equipment such as a floating bag and a lifeboat.

Usually, without taking the risk of a secondary disaster, a glove such as a floating bag attached with a lifeline is thrown from the shore near the water-distressed person, and the watery person is allowed to grab the lifeline by himself. It is desirable to rescue them by

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, it is an urgent situation to rescue water victims in large rivers and lakes with wide rivers, or in the sea, but even if a floating bag is thrown from a shore or a monitoring station, it can only be thrown into the water by about 10 meters. In many cases, it does not arrive.

If the flow of the river is fast or the waves of the sea are high, there is a risk of a secondary disaster, and it is not possible to approach Katsu.

[0007] In addition, there is actually no time to prepare the boat.

[0008] Conventionally, in an emergency situation at the time of the above-mentioned water rescue, there was no slippage for rescue.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a water rescue device using a floating bag that has a relatively simple structure and can be thrown to an extremely far distance.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, a pair of hemispherical bodies having a diameter of 10 cm to 20 cm joined to face each other in a ball shape, a floating bag folded and housed inside the bonded spherical bodies, and fixedly connected to an air stopper of the floating bag. And an air hose having a length of 20 m to 40 m led out to the outside of the spherical body, and an air tank connected to the air hose and sending / filling air or gas into the floating bag at high pressure to inflate it. The above object is achieved by providing a salvage rescue equipment characterized by the following.

[0011]

[Action]

 In the present invention, the diameter of the spherical body in which the floating bag is folded and stored is 10 cm to 20 cm, which is about the size of a softball, and the floating bag has a proper weight, so that an adult can hold it with one hand. It is as easy to throw as a baseball form and can be thrown extremely far.

An air hose having a length of 20 to 40 m is connected and fixed to the air stopper of the floating bag and is led out to the outside of the spherical body, so that air or gas can be supplied to the floating bag through the air hose, and the inside of the spherical body can be supplied. You can inflate the floating bag.

When the bladder is inflated through the air hose, the expansion force expands the inner wall of the spherical body, so that the pair of hemispherical bodies forming the spherical body are ruptured and separated from the joined portion, and the floating bag is spherical. It comes out of the body.

The air hose serves not only as an air tube but also as a lifeline.

If a small air tank with a capacity of about 5 liters is used, it can be carried on the back of a rescuer and is highly mobile.

Even if throwing in fails, the air hose can be pulled up and reloaded immediately, and after use, it can be used repeatedly by folding the floating bag and storing it in a pair of hemispherical bodies and joining them again. Rich in.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a view for explaining an embodiment of a water rescue equipment according to the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a state of use during a rescue operation using the rescue device according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, a water rescue device 10 is folded and housed in a pair of hemispherical bodies A and B having a diameter of 10 cm to 20 cm, which are joined to each other in a ball shape, and are joined to each other inside the joined spherical bodies. A floating bag 1, an air hose 6 communicating with and fixed to the air stopper 2 of the floating bag 1 and extending to the outside of the spherical body, and an air hose 6 having a length of 20 m to 40 m. And an air tank 7 for inflating air or gas at high pressure.

Here, the hemispherical bodies A and B are made of paper with a thickness t = 3 mm, and are durable like spherical bodies used for fireworks, for example. The material may be paper, plastic such as styrene, or wood.

The hemispherical bodies A and B are joined in a ball shape (spherical body Q) with a paper tape 8 or the like. It is necessary that this bonding strength is such that the paper tape on the bonding surface is torn by the expansion pressure of the floating bag 1 described below, but in the unused state it should have sufficient bonding strength to maintain the spherical body. . However, since the paper tape 8 easily breaks when wet with water, there are few problems in terms of strength in manufacturing.

Next, the floating bag 1 is of a normal donut shape. For example, when the diameter Φ of the spherical body is about 11 cm, an outer diameter of 65 cm and an air pressure of ² to 3 kgf / cm ² are suitable.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 1, a fixing cloth 5 to be described later is fixed to the fold portion H on the outer periphery of the floating bag 1 with eyelets to keep the positional relationship with the air hose 6 when inflating. Would be good.

Next, the air hose 6 is a kind of vinyl hose having an outer diameter of 4 mm and an inner diameter of 2 mm, which is relatively excellent in tensile strength so that it can be used as a lifeline. The air hose length is preferably 20 to 40 m in consideration of strength and air delivery time, practical handling during throwing in, and throwable distance.

Next, it is desirable to use a small air tank 7 having a capacity of about 5 liters.

Since the weight of the small-capacity air tank is about 4 kg, it can be carried on the back of the rescuer and is excellent in mobility.

The air tank 7 is provided with a pressure reducing valve 13 and an opening / closing valve 14, and is connected to the air hose 6 via a connecting fitting.

The air tank 7 is filled with compressed air or an inert gas (safe) such as nitrogen gas.

An air hose 6 is connected and fixed to the air plug 2 of the floating bag 1 by a joint pipe 3, and is led out of the spherical body Q from a through hole 9 formed in the hemispherical body B.

A fixing cloth 5 for fixing the connecting portion of the floating bag 1 and the air hose 6 so as not to swing inside the spherical body is arranged between the fold portion H of the floating bag 1 and the mouthpiece 4 of the floating bag 1. Would be desirable.

Next, a usage state of the water rescue equipment 10 will be described.

In FIG. 2, a rescuer K carrying an air tank 7 throws a spherical body Q at a shoreline or a monitoring station toward a water-distressed person S. At this time, the rescuer K holds the air hoses 6 in one hand so as to support them lightly, and sequentially sends out the air hoses 6 simultaneously with the throwing of the spherical body Q.

Immediately after the spherical body Q lands in the vicinity of the water impaired person S, the on-off valve of the air tank 7 is opened to supply the gas to the floating bag 1. The floating bag 1 inflates, breaks through the spherical body Q, and completely inflates in about 20 seconds from the start of gas supply.

The water victim S is grasped by the floating bag 1, and the rescuer K pulls the air hose 6 to rescue the water victim S to a safe place.

The important thing in the above-mentioned series of rescue operations is to throw the floating bag near the water victim S as soon as possible, but in the water rescue device 10 according to the present invention, it is not possible to throw the inflated floating bag. There is no doubt that the throwing "thing" is a spherical body Q such as a softball, so it is extremely easy to throw it accurately even at a distance.

It should be noted that the structure of the connecting portion between the floating bag 1 and the air hose 6 shown in the above embodiment is not limited to that of the embodiment, and structurally sufficient strength can be maintained. As long as the structure of the air tank 7, the position of the opening / closing valve, the connection method with the air hose 6, etc. are suitable for the present invention, it goes without saying that any structure may be adopted.

Further, as is clear from the structure of the above embodiment, the water rescue equipment 10 according to the present invention has an extremely small size and a simple structure and is easy to operate. It is thought that water rescue activities can be realized. In that case, it may be preferable to apply the spherical body Q to red or yellow to generally call attention to the fact that it is a rescue equipment.

[0039]
