OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention relates to a lifesaving floating bag, especially for marine sports and boat fishing using small vessels, and other water and waterside activities, and it is easy to carry and immediately when drowned. It is an object of the present invention to provide a lifesaving waist bag having a novel structure that can be expanded and inflated to be transformed into a usable state as a floating bag.
[0002]
[Prior art]
    Because Japan is surrounded by the sea, has cool rivers that flow out of steep mountains, and is dotted with scenic lakes in some places, it has a very favorable geographical environment. If it is a holiday, the family will be able to play in the water on the reeds and riversides, or enjoy fishing on the reeds and boats. Regardless of age or gender, such as boldly challenging, the appearance of enjoying various leisure activities at the waterside is conspicuous, and it is expected that the number of people who love leisure activities related to water will increase further in the future. The
[0003]
    Many people who are active on the beach, lakes, rivers, etc. have a solid knowledge of outdoor / leisure and try to be well-equipped for safety measures. Forget the rigor of making it, or become overconfident and prepare in advance, despite the equipment that must be prepared naturally according to the natural environment facing, such as life jackets, helmets, gloves, etc. Although it was neglected or prepared at the corner, it was not actually worn, it fell into the danger of encountering a sudden accident and experiencing a very dangerous experience, or it was unfortunate and lost its life The actual situation is that there are frequent cases.
[0004]
    In particular, with the marine leisure boom, water motorcycles and boats that are widespread are required to wear life jackets because of their dangers, but life jackets colored in alert colors such as orange and yellow, It is shunned for reasons such as being unable to coordinate with ships and clothes, `` I am troublesome '', `` I don't look good '', etc. I don't have the habit of paying attention and attention, so even those who are almost at the level of beginners have been inspired by such a trend and enjoyed the booming marine sports completely unprotected, resulting in wearing lifesaving equipment. If you encounter a miserable drowning accident related to human life because you neglected to wear the bag that was safe if you were a little, Tsu was the case is unending at all.
[0005]
    In order to prevent the occurrence of drowning accidents due to such inadvertent behavior, the Ministry of Transportation does not limit the color of life jackets to colors such as fluorescent orange and yellow, which are easy to find at sea, but in blue, black, green, purple, etc. It was approved to wear fashionable life jackets and decided to improve the ministerial ordinance in order to increase the rate of wearing, and finally decided to improve the safety of marine leisure. However, since a general life jacket is made of a vest type of thick material, there is a strong impression that the movement of the upper body will be restrained when worn, especially subtle movement of the center of gravity and accurate handling, For marine sports enthusiasts who prefer to wear light clothing as close to or close to the bare skin as possible, such as a direct touch from the skin and a quick dress, dislike wearing such a thick life jacket. become.
[0006]
    As described above, the present invention is unpopular when the conventional life jacket is cramped and is troublesome to wear, and is unpopular, and it has been questioned in the circumstances that it has not been possible to increase the wearing rate for a long time. Therefore, it was decided that it would be impossible to create a lifesaving life-saving device that is easy to wear, does not restrain the body, and can ensure high safety. As a result of repeated trial and error and many trial manufactures and experiments, we finally succeeded in realizing a new life-saving lifesaving waist bag. The following is representative of this invention shown in the drawings. The configuration will be described in detail along with the embodiment.
[0007]
[Structure of the invention]
    As will be clearly understood from the embodiments representing the present invention shown in the drawings, the lifesaving waist bag included in the present invention basically has the following configuration.
    That is, it has an open / close port at the top, and the location connected to the open / close port is a storage space, and in any other part,Compressed oxygen was enclosedA bag body that can be detachably temporarily attached and accommodated in a small cylinder is attached to the belt body integrally or detachably, and the bag body and / or the belt body can be folded and unfolded.However, an openable and closable exhaust port that allows oxygen in the small cylinder to be supplied as lifesaving and breathing oxygen is formed at any appropriate place.The air bag is folded and stored or attached in a reduced state, while the injection port of the small cylinder is, Provided separately from the exhaust portConnected to the inlet of the bladder with a piping line, and inside an automatic or manual small cylinderCompressed oxygenThis is a water-saving life-saving waist bag having a configuration in which an operation switch for injection is incorporated in a small cylinder nozzle or an appropriate place in a pipeline.
[0008]
    The small cylinder fulfills the function of accommodating the compressed gas injected into the bag body in a portable state, and is set to a shape and size that can be temporarily attached and detachably attached to the bag body, and is sufficient in the bag body. The gas capacity must be sufficient to supply a sufficient amount of gas, and should have a material and structure that does not easily break even if deformed. In addition to a switch, a compressed gas that can be used for life or breathing oxygen as a compressed gas, or a foamed resin material that cures within a short time after release It is possible to inject the foamed resin material together with the compressed gas into the floating bag, and provide two or more small cylinders between each small cylinder injection port and the injection port of the floating bag body. Separate pipes for each Form independent individual actuating switches in a small bomb nozzle or pipe each path of each can be a structure in which disposed.
[0009]
    The bag body is attached to the belt body in an integrated or detachable manner, and at least serves to temporarily attach and detach a small cylinder, and can attach and store a small cylinder even at a minimum. It must be dimensioned to have a certain capacity, should be attached to the belt body with sufficient strength, and should have sufficient strength so that it will not be easily damaged or detached. Depending on the situation, it can be used to form a storage space that can store smoke tubes, emergency ropes, emergency food, simple emergency equipment, etc. that are individually waterproofed with a synthetic resin film, or for small cylinders. It is desirable to form an operation switch and a part of the compressed gas piping so that the float can be folded and stored or attached in a reduced state. more than Small cylinders and operating switches associated therewith, sized to house the piping path, etc., it is possible to set the shape.
[0010]
    The belt body has a strength sufficient to enable lifesaving in the life of a floating bag and fulfills the function of attaching to a lifesaving object, and must be constructed so that the bag body can be attached integrally or detachably. First, it should be formed so that it can be attached to a part of the body such as the waist, arms, legs, etc. of the human body, and the bag body is attached to a single belt or the left and right sides of the bag body Each can have a structure with a pair of strips attached, and a floating bag can be folded on the outside and stored or attached in a reduced state. It is good to comprise as a thing which has a buckle structure for.
[0011]
    The bag body is reduced to a folded state and is stored or attached to any part, and functions to expand and inflate as a lifebuoy bag, and is formed into a waterproof and airtight bag shape. It must be set to a capacity that can generate enough buoyancy to levitate on the water and save human life, and is preferably formed into a shape suitable for a folding structure or storage or attachment structure, There are no particular restrictions on the shape of the ring, cylinder, sphere, rectangular parallelepiped, etc., and an openable and closable exhaust port is formed at any location for the purposes of repeated use, reduced disposal, and use of injections. In addition to being able to be made of a structure, the foamed resin material is injected together with the compressed gasAnd in the unlikely event of damageIt can be configured to prevent gas leakage due to rupture and ensure buoyancy, andThe gas inlet provided separately from the exhaust portA check valve mechanism is provided, removed from the attached belt body and bag body,ConcernedIt may be configured to automatically prevent leakage of the compressed gas accommodated therein when the inlet is separated from the compressed gas piping.
[0012]
    The pipe line functions to connect the injection port of the small cylinder and the injection port of the floating bag body with an airtight pipe line, so that it does not come off accidentally due to the jet output of the small cylinder. It should be formed in a material with a connecting structure and a material or pipe shape that is difficult to cause gas leakage due to breakage, and can be provided with an operation switch in the middle or end side, and is made of synthetic resin A relatively soft material such as a pipe made of natural rubber or a pipe made of natural rubber, a hard pipe material made of hard plastic or metal, or a relatively soft pipe material connected by a relatively hard pipe material In addition to the structure, it is possible to have a structure in which a reinforcing thread, a reinforcing cloth, a reinforcing sheet material or the like is attached to the outer periphery of a relatively soft pipe material.
[0013]
    The operation switch performs the function of controlling the injection of the compressed gas from the small cylinder to the floating bag, and at least controls the start of the injection of the compressed gas and operates to release the required amount of gas from the small cylinder. When the valve mechanism urged to the open side by a spring or compressed air is kept closed with a closed part made of a water-soluble hard material that is exposed to the outside and is immersed in water , The closing part dissolves quickly and the valve mechanism is automatically opened, or it has an operating structure that automatically energizes the valve mechanism when it is immersed in water, or causes a chemical reaction when contacted with water. In addition to being able to open the valve mechanism, an auxiliary switch part incorporating a buoyancy part with strong buoyancy against water, such as an air reservoir or an independent foamed resin body, is provided and floated when submerged. Pull the auxiliary switch unit manually, it is also possible to those configured to be remotely operated. In the following, the structure of the present invention will be described in detail together with an embodiment representative of the present invention shown in the drawings.
[0014]
[Example 1]
    The example shown in the perspective view of the lifesaving waist bag of FIG. 1 and the perspective view of the state of operation of the water lifesaving waist bag of FIG. 2 shows a configuration in which both the small cylinder and the float body are stored in the bag body. A typical water-saving lifesaving waist bag according to the present invention is shown.
    The water-saving life bag is a small cylinder and a folded and reduced annular floating bag housed in a bag body 1 which is mainly attached to the waist of a human body. It is formed into a waist pouch-like bag with a curved back or bendable back, and is normally closed at the top of the bag so that it can be opened as needed. The opening / closing port 11 is provided integrally, and a belt body 2 having a predetermined length in which a buckle portion and a length adjusting portion are incorporated is integrally formed on the left and right.
[0015]
    A small cylinder 3 filled with compressed air or compressed oxygen is detachably fixed to the inner bottom surface of the bag body 1 through a fixing bracket 41 of an operation switch 4 provided integrally with a jet nozzle. The other end side of the pipeline 6 made of a soft synthetic resin pipe connected at one end side to the injection port 51 of the bladder 5 is connected to a portion of the operation switch 4 that leads to a valve mechanism (not shown). The injection port of the small cylinder 3 and the float body 5 injection port 51 are connected by an airtight conduit.
[0016]
    Further, the actuating switch 4 has a string-like shape in which a light-weight foamed resin buoyant portion 43 is coupled to the tip side, and a valve mechanism (not shown) in which the actuating switch 4 is closed by receiving a pulling operation. The auxiliary switch portion 42 for manual remote operation that can be opened is extended. Normally, only the buoyancy portion 43 is provided in the bag so that the operation string of the auxiliary switch portion 42 is automatically extended when it is submerged. The main body 1 is exposed from the opening / closing port 11. Furthermore, an air outlet 52 that can be opened and closed is formed at a suitable position on the peripheral wall of the bag body 5 so that the compressed air or compressed oxygen supplied into the bag body 5 can be released. The bag body 1 is folded and reduced in a state where it can be unfolded, and is stored in the upper side of the small cylinder 3 in the bag body 1.
[0017]
[Example 2]
    The example shown in the perspective view of the lifesaving waist bag of FIG. 3 and the perspective view of the state in which the water lifesaving waistbag of FIG. 4 is operated is another representative example included in the lifesaving waist bag of the present invention. In this embodiment, a small cylinder is accommodated in the bag body, and a substantially bottomed cylindrical floating bag body is provided along the outside of the belt body.
[0018]
    The bag body 1 is formed in a double bottom bag shape integrally provided with the belt body 2, and forms an article storage space 12 having an opening / closing port 11 on its upper side, and its lower side The small cylinder 3, the operation switch 4 connected to the ejection nozzle (not shown) of the small cylinder 3, a part of the piping 6 connected to the operation switch 4, and the auxiliary extended from the operation switch 4 The base end side of the switch part 42 is accommodated, and the bottomed cylinder is folded down and downsized on each of the outer wall surfaces on the left and right sides of the belt body 2 extended to the left and right sides of the bag body 1. Shaped bladders 5 and 5 are combined and accommodated, and each of the inlets 51 and 51 of the bladders 5 and 5 is led from the operation switch 4 and branched to the piping path. 6 and 6 are connected to each other, and the floats 5 and 5 are respectively suitable. In has a one closable outlet 52 is provided. In addition, it has a structure in which the floating body 5, 5 is folded and the belt body 2 that is housed is provided with belt-shaped covering cloths 21, 21,. The floating bag bodies 5 and 5 accommodated are covered and protected from the outside.
[0019]
[Example 3]
    The example shown in the perspective view of the lifesaving waist bag of FIG. 5 and the perspective view of the operation state of the lifesaving waist bag of FIG. 6 shows an example of the water lifesaving waist bag having a detachable bladder. There is a rigid body in which rectangular tubular floating bodies 5 and 5 are integrally provided at the end portions of the hook-like claw portions 13, 13,... Formed on the left and right outer wall surfaces of the bag body 1. A small cylinder 3 provided in the bag body 1 is attached to the detachable plate portion of the floats 5 and 5 while being detachably mounted through a not-shown hanging hole formed in the resin detachable plate portion. In addition, end portions of the pipelines 6 and 6 connected through the operation switch 4 and injection ports 51 and 51 that are detachably attached are formed.
[0020]
    In a normal stage, the pair of left and right floats 5 and 5 are folded and miniaturized, and are attached to the left and right outer wall surfaces of the bag body 1. A non-illustrated check valve mechanism that prevents the compressed gas filled in the floating bag body 5 from leaking out when the piping 6 is removed is built-in, An exhaust port 52 that can be freely opened and closed is formed at any appropriate position of the floating body 5.
[0021]
    The operation switch 4 has a valve mechanism (not shown) connected to the nozzle outlet of the small cylinder 3, and the valve mechanism extends from the operation switch 4 and extends to the outside of the bag body 1. When connected to the switch unit 42 and submerged in water, the auxiliary switch unit 42 is energized to automatically open the valve mechanism of the operation switch 4.
    The auxiliary switch part 42 may have a structure in which the switch mechanism part urged in the opening direction is locked by a restraining part made of a water-soluble material that instantly dissolves immediately after flooding, Alternatively, it may be configured such that when it is submerged, it undergoes a chemical reaction with water to cause deformation such as disappearance, reduction or expansion, and the valve mechanism of the operation switch 4 is automatically opened.
[0022]
    Furthermore, it is assumed that the floating body 5 is detachably attached to the outer wall surface of the bottom portion of the bag body 1 in a folded state as shown in the perspective view of the lifesaving waist bag of FIG. In addition, it is assumed that the small cylinder 3 is filled with a foamed resin material in a dissolved state and a compressed gas that starts curing immediately after being released, instead of compressed air or compressed oxygen, and is compressed in the floating bag body 5. It is possible to inject and supply the foamed resin material together with the gas.
[0023]
[Action]
    The lifesaving life-saving waist bag of the present invention configured as described above is worn and used in a state in which the belt body 2 is wound around the waist, and the person who wears it accidentally falls into the water and needs to be rescued. 1, the buoyancy part 43 of the auxiliary switch part 42 shown in FIG. 1 rises, and when it is grabbed and pulled out, the operation switch 4 is activated and compressed air or compressed oxygen enclosed in the small cylinder 3 The compressed gas ejected is supplied to the inlet 51 of the floating bag 5 through the piping 6.
[0024]
    The float body 5 that has been supplied with the compressed gas is inflated and unfolded in an instant from the folded and reduced state until then to form an annular float. The floating body 5 forcibly opens the opening / closing port 11 of the bag body 1 and jumps out of the bag body 1 due to the expansion force.
    Since air or oxygen supplied into the float body 5 can be released by opening the exhaust port 52, particularly in the case of oxygen, it can be used for oxygen inhalation. At that time, as long as there is a remaining amount of gas in the small cylinder 3, even if the internal pressure is reduced by the discharge, the compressed gas is continuously supplied into the float 5 and the float 5 is kept at a constant internal pressure. Therefore, it is possible to keep ensuring the function as the floating bag body 5.
[0025]
    Similarly, as shown in FIG. 3, in the lifesaving life-saving waist bag in which the floats 5 and 5 are folded and reduced in size on the outer wall surface of the belt body 2, When the buoyancy part 43 is grasped and pulled out, the operation switch 4 is activated, the compressed air or oxygen in the small cylinder 3 is injected, and the floats 5 and 5 inflated by the forced gas supply are shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the covering cloths 21, 21,.
[0026]
    Further, the lifesaving waist bag shown in FIG. 5 automatically presses the compressed air in the small cylinder 3 at the same time when the auxiliary switch portion 42 provided in the operation switch 4 is submerged without any special operation. Alternatively, compressed oxygen can be injected and supplied to the float body 5 side, and the floated body 5 that has been inflated by the supply of compressed air or compressed oxygen can be removed from the bag body 1 and then detached. The float body 5 has a check valve mechanism built in the inlet 51 to prevent leakage of the contained gas at the moment when the piping 6 is pulled out to maintain the internal pressure, and can be used as an independent float bag. Therefore, it can be used for the rescue of third parties.
[0027]
    Further, if the exhaust port 52 provided in the float body 5 is opened, the compressed air or compressed oxygen accommodated therein can be released as necessary, and the exhaust port 52 is closed. If it is possible to continue using it as a floating bag, and when the amount of stored gas is insufficient, the end of the pipe line 6 is reconnected to the inlet 51 of the floating bag 5 in a separated state. The check valve opens the sealed state so far and supplies the compressed gas into the float 5 again, so that a sufficient amount of air or oxygen can be injected.
[0028]
    Further, in the case of a structure in which a foamed resin material in a dissolved state is supplied into the buoyancy body 5 together with the compressed gas, such as a lifesaving waist bag shown in FIG. 7, the foamed resin is filled and expanded and expanded. The foamed body 5 can generate sufficient buoyancy as a bladder, and even if the foamed body 5 is torn for some reason, the foamed body has been enclosed and cured. Since the resin is an independent molded body and keeps the shape of the original floating bag body 5, the resin functions as a floating bag regardless of the presence or absence of the floating bag body 5.
[0029]
【effect】
    As described above, according to the water-saving lifesaving waist bag of the present invention, it is intended to be worn on the upper body up to now, and is bulky as a whole, unlike a life jacket that takes time and effort to wear, Like a waist pouch that can be easily attached to the waist, once the waist circumference is adjusted, it can be easily attached to and removed from the waist, and the bag is folded and downsized. Because it is structured to be housed or attached to the bag body and / or belt body, it is extremely small and lightweight as a lifesaving life-saving device, eliminates the wearer's uncomfortable feeling at the time of wearing, and is usually agile. It can be considered that there is no trouble in behavior, and when it is unfortunate that it encounters a drought all day, the bag expands and expands in an instant and floats on the surface of the water. Soo features that would help life rescue those that can be obtained.
[0030]
    In particular, the water-saving life-saving waist bag having a structure representative of the present invention taken up in the embodiment has a storage space portion having an opening / closing port 11 in the upper portion of the bag body 1 capable of accommodating the small cylinder 3 in addition to the above-described features. 12 and can store articles necessary for drought such as smoke cylinders, emergency food, emergency equipment, ropes, etc., or compressed air or In a structure in which compressed oxygen is accommodated and injected into the bladder 5 and the inflated bladder 5 can be detached from the bag body 1 or the belt body 2, the bladder 5 is removed and the lifespan is not lost. If the check valve mechanism is incorporated in the float body 5 inlet 51, the internal gas can be surely leaked at the time of detachment. Prevention possible Further, in the case of a gas filled with oxygen as the compressed gas, the openable and closable exhaust port 52 is opened as necessary, and oxygen enclosed in the floating bag body 5 is used. Thus, it can be applied to oxygen inhalation.
[0031]
    Further, in the case where a foamed resin material in a dissolved state that is cured within a short time after discharge is enclosed in the small cylinder 3, the foamed resin material is injected into the float 5 together with the compressed gas, and the foamed resin material is immediately Since it fills and hardens according to the shape of the float 5, even if it receives an external force such as a collision with the hull or other suspended matter after the fall, it will harden even if the float 5 is damaged. There is an advantage that the foamed resin material can maintain the shape of the bag body 5 and can maintain the buoyancy without losing its role as a life saving device. In a case where a part is arranged exposed from the bag body 1 and is configured to automatically blow out the compressed gas in the small bomb 3 by dissolving, energizing or chemically reacting immediately after flooding, By any chance Even if the operation switch 4 cannot be operated as expected due to injury or injury, the floating body 5 automatically expands and expands upon landing, and the function as a floating bag is obtained. The effect can be expected.
[0032]
    In the case where the auxiliary switch portion 42 for manual remote operation having the buoyancy portion 43 made of an air reservoir, an independent foamed resin body, or the like is incorporated in the operation switch 4, the buoyancy portion 43 naturally floats when landing. Therefore, even when the victim is submerged in the water, the position of the auxiliary switch portion can be surely detected and the operation switch 4 can be operated, and the victim is submerged in the water and falls into a confused state. For those who are missing, it will be useful as a lifesaving device that can be relied on, and more than two small cylinders will be provided, and individual pipe lines will be formed between each small cylinder outlet and the float bag inlet. If a small cylinder nozzle or a separate operation switch is provided for each pipe line, any small cylinder, operation switch, pipe line, or bag inlet may be damaged or damaged. Even Flip, compressed gas from other strains is supplied, so that extremely high safety lifesaving device is obtained that can be reliably inflated the bladders body.
[0033]
    As described above, the lifesaving waist bag of the present invention makes it possible to achieve the intended purpose by its novel configuration, and is easy to manufacture, compared with the unit price of the life jacket from the past, It can be made much more economical and can be removed and attached in the same way as a normal waist bag, and the external color and shape can be freely selected, and it can be stored or attached in a folded state. Even if it is set to fluorescent orange or yellow that is easily found in the case of a distress, the floated bag does not impair the design of the waist bag, so it is easy to secure fashion and incorporate fashion From a variety of products, and can greatly increase the wear rate of lifesaving lifesaving equipment that has been sluggish in various water sports. Been highly evaluated in phosphorus sports industry, available across a wide range, it is expected to continue to spread.
