Abstract

FIELD: personal use articles.

SUBSTANCE: survival bracelet contains an inflatable elastic flotation chamber, folded and space-efficiently laid into the pocket along the bracelet perimeter, a system for filling the chamber with gas, for example, in the form of a cartridge with compressed air, and a device for triggering the filling system equipped with a lanyard. The flotation chamber is designed so that to be able to become filled with gas, expand outside the pocket and unfold so that to form a ring-shaped flotation chamber. The survival bracelet is designed in the form of an elastic strap and is equipped with a clip fastener for attachment to swimming trunks.

Description

The invention relates to rescue on water (a miniature compact means of insurance for a swimmer - both experienced and beginner - when swimming in case of loss of buoyancy), in particular, to individual wearable rescue floating equipment, and can be used on beaches, in emergency situations, on boats, as an individual self-rescue tool on the water, affordable and easy to use for every person.

A device for rescue on water, which contains an inflatable element made in the form of a belt with a detachable lock, as well as a reservoir of compressed gas connected to one end of the inflatable element and made with a wall separating the cavity of the tank and the inflatable element, and this wall made with destructible part (RF patent No. 2094299, class B63C 9/15, publication October 27, 1997).

The disadvantages of the specified life-saving equipment include the possibility of using it only on a person’s waist, which reduces the comfort of use, as well as the large dimensions and weight compared to the claimed technical solution, and a large consumption of material for its manufacture.

The objective of the invention is to create a more convenient individual means of rescue on water, which would be compact in size, would not interfere with the swimmer in the water, would not be noticeable to others, and in some cases, on the contrary, would serve as a decoration on the wrist (like a bracelet or watch) and on the forearm, like an original bandage.

The aim of the invention is to increase the comfort of swimming and swimming in an open pond with a life-band attached to the body, which can be attached to both the wrist and the forearm of the swimmer using various options of fasteners, selected depending on the preferences of the swimmer, or attached in a special way to swimming trunks swimmer, while providing, if necessary, a quick response inflated buoyancy chamber to keep the upper body of the swimmer above the water.

This goal is achieved by the fact that the rescue bracelet contains a length-adjustable buckle with a detachable lock (or with Velcro, or a rubber strap adjustable without a buckle, or made without a harness), an inflatable elastic buoyancy chamber, folded and compactly packed in a pocket around the perimeter of the bracelet, a system for filling the chamber with gas, for example in the form of a can of compressed air, and a device for triggering the filling system, equipped with an exhaust cord. When filling with gas, the buoyancy chamber comes out of the pocket and turns around, forming an almost circular chamber filled with gas. The bracelet is small in size and is adjustable in size by the swimmer's hand.

The inflatable buoyancy chamber can be made up of several sections. In this case, due to the transformation of the bracelet after inflation into several (corresponding to the number of sections) spherical or oblong bodies connected to each other, using it becomes more convenient.

The technical result of the universal compact rescue bracelet, which can be used as an individual means of self-rescue on the water, lies in the cost-effectiveness of its manufacture, ease of use due to the fact that the bracelet is easily put into operation, if necessary, and is adjusted by the size of the swimmer’s hand, due to the use adjustable clasp or adjustable length of the clasp strap or by making it in the form of an elastic cord.

The rescue bracelet can be made in 5 versions due to the use of different options for fasteners.

The presence of new distinctive features from the prototype signs indicates the conformity of the claimed technical solution to the criterion of "novelty."

The rescue bracelet (1) is made in the form of a hollow, gas-filled, inflatable elastic buoyancy chamber (2), rolled up and packed compactly in a pocket around the perimeter of the bracelet. The buoyancy chamber is made of a gas-tight material in the form of an open ring. The rescue bracelet has a detachable lock (3), which can be made in several versions (with a length-adjustable button clasp; with an adjustable micrometer clasp; with a length-adjustable buckle clasp; with a length-adjustable Velcro fastener or without a clasp in elastic tow).

The gas filling system of the chamber (4) can be, for example, in the form of a can of compressed air (this can will be made in several forms, making it possible for the product to be compact, attractive and similar to the decoration - in the form of a narrow and not thick plate or in the form of watch case), and the device for triggering the filling system (5) is equipped with an exhaust cord, which, so as not to hang out and not accidentally pulled out, will be covered with the thinnest rubber film (6), which is easily removed even by a child, when filling with gas Ohm, the buoyancy chamber comes out of the pocket, turns around and forms a C-shaped buoyancy chamber, on the edges of which a fastener adjustable in length is fixed. At the same time, the inflated chamber is independently additionally attached to the hand, squeezing it.

At the ends of the bracelet made of waterproof fabric, a length-adjustable strap with a clasp or a length-adjustable clasp are fastened, with the help of which the bracelet is fixed on the wrist or forearm of a person. Thus, a life-saving bracelet when swimming in a pond looks like an ordinary bracelet, in which you can easily swim without putting your life in danger, always having a life buoy with you, which will keep you on the water, will allow you to reach the shore, and it is clearly visible with its bright warning light coloring for those who can provide assistance.

The bracelet can be made in the form of a stretching harness (option 5) without a fastener and can be equipped with a fastening device that has the shape of a clip (7), which is attached to the bracelet on one side and fastens to the swimming trunks with its free end. In this case, in case of danger, the swimmer can quickly unfasten the life-saving bracelet from the swimming trunks and put it on the arm of himself or another swimmer, passing his hand into the strapped tourniquet; with constant swimming, such compression would be uncomfortable, but for a short time in case of danger this is a reliable way to fasten the bracelet on the hand, which does not require additional operations for fastening, in addition to simply pushing the hand into the product.

Life bracelet works as follows.

A man puts a safety bracelet on his hand (on his wrist, like a wristwatch, or on his forearm, like a dressing bandage, like children put on a wrist sleeve for swimming; but the bracelet is not inflated) and fastens it on the clasp, adjusting it by the volume of the hand . If necessary, a person must bring the life-saving bracelet into working condition, for which it is necessary to open a gas can with a cord 5. The hollow buoyancy chamber will be filled with gas and will take the form of a life buoy (or arm ruffles, like in children), so that a person can be on water for a long time (wait for help or go to shore). When the rescue bracelet becomes unnecessary, it can be unfastened with a clasp and dropped into the water.

Thus, the gas-filled buoyancy chamber prevents the swimmer from drowning in a critical situation, thereby preventing an accident on the water. The rescue bracelet of the proposed design can be given an attractive appearance. Simplicity and compactness determine its low cost.

The proposed device can be widely used as a rescue tool on river and sea vessels, as well as an individual rescue tool for swimmers and swimmers.
