摘要:
A novel inflation system for inflatable life jackets, comprising a gas reservoir of light metal which stores liquid gas at a low pressure and which is connected to a casing in which the opening mechanism for the gas reservoir is integrated and which has a profile for being attached to a receiving part connected to the inflatable life jacket and having an opening to the inner space of the life jacket, thus inflating the life jacket to the usage size by means of the spontaneous volume expansion of the liquid gas through both openings when the gas flows through a large outlet opening in the casing part, characterized in that the mouth piece of the opening of the metal gas reservoir is fixedly connected to a casing part in which the opening tappet of the gas reservoir is mounted.

An inflation device (5) for an inflatable article (such a life jacket), includes a housing (8) for holding a container of pressurised fluid (6), a displacement means (12) including a piercing means (15) displaceable so as to penetrate the container (6) and allow the release of said pressurised fluid, and actuation means (23, 27, 28, 29) having engaging co-operating elements (17, 25) which engage to retain the displacement means (12) in an unactuated configuration. The actuation means (23, 27, 28, 29) release the displacement means (12) both through the presence of water or by manual operation. The co-operating elements (17, 25) are substantially radially arranged. The line along which the displacement means (12) acts may be coaxial with the radii of the co-operating elements (17, 25). One of the co-operating elements (17) is capable of inward radial movement, and the actuation means (27, 28, 29) operates to prevent that co-operating element's (17) radially inward movement. Similarly, one of the co-operating elements (25) is capable of outward radial movement, and also prevented by the actuating means (23). When the actuation means (23, 27, 28, 29) is triggered (by water or by the manual release), the movement of one of the co-operating elements (17, 25) causes the displacement means (12, 15) to pierce the container.

The invention relates to a flotation device arranged to receive a compressed air cylinder (30). The flotation device comprises an expansion part (20) arranged to be expanded by compressed air and a guide (16) for supplying compressed air from the compressed air cylinder (30) to the expansion part (20). The invention is characterized in that the expansion part (20) is a silicone tube.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif portable de gonflage rapide d'une poche gonflable (60), de forme générale allongée, comportant au moins une entrée (46) destinée à être reliée à une source (2) de gaz comprimé sous haute pression, pour permettre la détente de ce dernier dans une chambre d'admission d'air (32), l'entrée étant associée à un mécanisme (10, 20) de déclenchement de la libération du gaz comprimé vers la chambre d'admission d'air, cette dernière présentant une ouverture (6) destinée à permettre l'admission d'air environnant et une sortie (28) destinée à être reliée à la poche à gonfler. Le dispositif comporte en outre une chambre intermédiaire de distribution (56) du gaz comprimé, agencée entre l'entrée et la chambre d'admission d'air pour les relier l'une à l'autre et des trous d'éjection (58), agencés de manière à déboucher dans une paroi latérale de la chambre d'admission d'air (32) pour connecter cette dernière à la chambre intermédiaire de distribution.

摘要:
Wet suits used by water sports enthusiasts (e.g., surfers) are provided with the ability to be inflated during emergency situations to provide life-saving buoyancy and floatation aid. The inflatable wet suit will preferably include a torso section having a back pocket and a bladder assembly having an inflatable bladder bag and an inflator valve adapted for operative connection with a compressed gas canister positioned within the back pocket. A rip cord has one of its ends connected to the inflator valve and extends over a shoulder region of the torso section so that the other end thereof is graspably positioned adjacent a front portion of the torso section. A canister pouch within the back pocket of the torso section is provided for receiving the gas canister therein. The canister pouch includes a front wall attached to the torso section along side and bottom edges.

A safety device (10) including an article to be worn by a user (12) and an inflatable bladder (16) which is in use attached to the article. The safety device further includes an inflating apparatus (18) for in use inflating the inflatable bladder with an inflating product. The inflating apparatus comprises an inflating product compartment (20) for storing the inflating product and a frangible valve (24) for deterring flow of the inflating product from the inflating product compartment. An actuator (34) is provided for rupturing the frangible valve thereby allowing inflating product to flow from the inflating product compartment to the inflatable bladder.

摘要:
Disclosed is a gas release device that is adapted to be secured to an inflatable article. The device includes an container, which can be a commercially available gas bottle, a salinity sensor, and an end cap. The salinity sensor operates an electrically fireable primer that serves to release an inflation gas from the container and inflate the article. The end cap includes a cylindrical through hole that accepts a rotatable D-ring. The D-ring is dimensioned to fit over the valve of the inflatable article. The D-ring includes a series of peripheral apertures that can be selectively aligned with a slot to create a fluid passage between the container and valve. The D-ring allows the device to be rotated between different angular positions while maintaining a pneumatic coupling between to the inflatable article and the container.
