摘要:
The invention relates to an activation device (1) for triggering an outflow of a gas from a storage tank into a life vest (A) fillable with said gas, wherein the activation device (1) comprises a detection element (2) for determining the instant of triggering, and a trigger element (3) for the sudden opening of the storage tank. According to the invention the detection element (2) is controlled by a microprocessor and selectively comprises at least one of the following sensors (12): a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a motion sensor, a humidity sensor, the activation device (1) having an adapter element (16) for adaptive mounting on life vests (A).
摘要:
The invention addresses the basic problem of providing a lifesaving means 1 for a life jacket RW, wherein said life jacket offers a higher degree of buoyancy in an emergency. This is achieved in principle by inserting an additional lifesaving means 1 into a life jacket RW and activating the additional lifesaving means 1 via sensors S in conjunction with a control unit 9 or by manual actuation, such that the buoyancy is greater overall than that of the life jacket RW itself. Buoyancy that is reliable in an emergency is present if the body of a person can be kept above water without additional movement by the person. Depending on the clothing worn, the buoyancy is greater than 150N. Triggering preferably occurs automatically.
