Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rescue device for per ⁇ sons who have fallen overboard, especially for use on boats having a relatively low freeboard.
  • an object of the present invention to provide a rescue device by the aid of which a person onboard, even a person who is not very strong, and with minimum help from the person in the water, is able to get the victim aboard, even if he is at some ' distance from the craft.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a device that is as simple as possible to operate and may in special situations, e.g. in case of one-man sailing, be operated by the person who has fallen overboard .
  • the device according to the invention enables a person on ⁇ board, even though he might not be strong, and with minimum help from the person in the water, to get such a person aboard, even if he is at some distance from the craft. If the rescue equipment is secured to the craft in a suitable manner, as disclosed below, a person falling overboard can haul himself aboard, which means that such rescue equipment may also be used by a person who is alone in a boat, or in case a person onboard can be of little or no assistance.
  • the device according to the invention in principle, oper ⁇ ates in two steps, the first step combining the tasks of closing the safety belt and moving the person in the water close to the craft's side, and the second step, being comprised of a tackle, permits lifting a person up to deck level by exertion of relatively little force.
  • Figure 1 is a diagrammatic sketch illustrating the device according to the invention and its utilization by a person who has fallen overboard.
  • Figure 2 is a view in perspective of the device according to the invention.
  • Figure 3 is a detailed view showing the tackle provided with a protective stocking
  • Figure 4 is a partial view illustrating an embodiment which enables a person in the water to haul himself aboard.
  • the device according to the invention mainly comprises a tackle generally designated 1 and provided with an automatic rope locking or blocking means 13.
  • Said tackle comprises two blocks of which the uppermost block in an operative position is designated 10 , and the lower block is designated 4.
  • Upper block 10 can be secured to a gunwale, a manrope,or another suitable holding means above deck by the aid of fastening means 16, e.g. two hook shaped members that may simply be hooked over the gun ⁇ wale or the like. In the drawing only the principle of such securing is shown.
  • said tackle 1 there is, further ⁇ more, provided an attachment for the end of a life line, said end attachment being provided on lower block 4, and rope guides both on lower block and on upper block for said life line, as well as a locking or blocking means 7 for a rope which is provided on lower block 4.
  • Said rope guide on the upper block is designated 8.
  • the tackle itself is extended to such a length that lower block 4 will hand approximately at water level when said upper block 10 is fastened onboard.
  • This loop of line is provided with a safety belt 2, said life line 3 being passed through two rings or ears at the end of said safety belt.
  • the outer loop of line should have a length sufficient for being thrown as far as a person may be expected to be able to throw the safety belt. If de ⁇ sired, said safety belt may be provided with a heaving line to increase the range of throwing.
  • the person in the safety belt may be hoisted high enough to have the upper part of his body above deck level, so that he may get readily onboard. It is also possible to sit in said safety belt in stead of wearing it under ones arms and, thus, to get higher up in case that is desirable.
  • Upper tackle block 10 may be provided with pulleys or the like 15, as shown in Figure IV.
  • the free ends of the life line and tha tackle rope are then passed about pulley 15 and the ends hang down along the side of the craft.
  • the equipment may, thus, be used by a person who is alone in a craft, e.g. a solo sailer or a cutter fisher.
  • the free end of life line 3 may, suitably, be fastened to said safety belt.
  • a stocking 14 may, advantageously, be provided around said tackle, as illustrated in Figure III. Said stocking is suitably secured both about lower block 4, and about upper block 10 to keep said two rope systems separated and to avoid problems by having the safety belt, the outer rope or one of the blocks inserted between the ropes in said tackle.

Abstract

Un dispositif de sauvetage pour des personnes qui sont tombées par-dessus bord, destiné en particulier à être utilisé sur des embarcations ayant un franc-bord relativement bas, comprend un treuil (1) muni d'un organe de fixation (16) destiné à être fixé à un plat-bord, un garde-corps ou autre sur ladite embarcation. Une corde de sauvetage (3) est fixée audit treuil (1) et est pourvue d'un organe de support (2), telle qu'une ceinture de sécurité pour la personne qui est tombée par-dessus bord. Ladite corde (3) passe à travers des languettes placées sur ledit organe de support (2), à travers un guide au niveau de la même extrémité du treuil que du point de fixation de la corde et remonte jusqu'à l'embarcation. Ladite corde (11) du treuil et la corde de sauvetage (3) passent toutes les deux à travers des organes de verrouillage fonctionnant automatiquement (7, 13). En tirant immédiatement sur ladite corde de sauvetage (3), on peut transporter sur le bord de l'embarcation la personne, qui peut ensuite être hissée jsuqu'au niveau du pont à l'aide du treuil (1).
