Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to water rescue equipment and more particularly to portable rescue flotation devices with a skin and filler.
- Portable flotation devices are used by professional rescuers in the water rescue (lifesaving) industry to assist people to shore who may not be able to swim to safety without assistance. These devices are normally a few feet long and torpedo shaped with handles around their sides. A strap and line is attached to the device and the rescuer can put the strap around his/her shoulder or other body part to pull a person hanging onto the handles back to shore. Traditionally these floatation devices are made from either foam or a hard plastic. The foam devices are not very durable. The hard plastic devices sometimes fill with water. More importantly, the hard plastic devices frequently cause injuries to both the rescuers and rescued persons from impact in turbulent water.
- a portable rescue flotation device assembly for use in water rescues includes a floatation device having an elongated body portion and a handle assembly fixedly connected to the body portion.
- the body portion includes a durable water resistant skin configured to enclose a filler.

Description
- This application claims priority to and incorporates by reference in its' entirety, United States Provisional Patent Application No. 62/284086, entitled “Sandy can”, and filed Sep. 21, 2015.
- The present invention generally relates to water rescue equipment and more particularly to portable rescue flotation devices with a skin and filler.
- Portable flotation devices are used by professional rescuers in the water rescue (lifesaving) industry to assist people to shore who may not be able to swim to safety without assistance. These devices are normally a few feet long and torpedo shaped with handles around their sides. A strap and line is attached to the device and the rescuer can put the strap around his/her shoulder or other body part to pull a person hanging onto the handles back to shore. Traditionally these floatation devices are made from either foam or a hard plastic. The foam devices are not very durable. The hard plastic devices sometimes fill with water. More importantly, the hard plastic devices frequently cause injuries to both the rescuers and rescued persons from impact in turbulent water. There is a long felt need for an alternative floatation device designed for continuous use with little maintenance, which will not cause serious injury from impacting a rescuer or a recued person.

In some embodiments, theskin 146 may be at least an eighth (⅛) of an inch thick. Suitable materials may include the vinyl used in making Taylor Made Products vinyl fenders or similar vinyl, rubber, vinyl composite, or rubber composite material. Another suitable material may include layers of an outer nylon type skin such as is used in making a backpack and an inner rubber and/or vinyl or composite rubber and/or vinyl bladder. For example, the layered material used by Mustang Survival to make an inflatable PFD could be used for the skin, or a similar layered material. - The
filler 148 may include compressed atmospheric air, or another gas. When thefiller 148 includes a gas or compressed gas, the fill mechanism may include thevalve 130. Thevalve 130 may include a check valve or other means known in the art to prevent the gas from escaping from theskin 146.
