Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a Portable Cover for a Lifebuoy.
  • the field of the application is related to rescue and self-preservation, with particular emphasis on rescue at sea.
  • lifebuoys have come housed inside packages and compartments mainly located in particular places on marine vehicles. They were not intended for use outside the context of a journey at sea. This meant that they were not marketed as everyday objects of self-preservation in all those water-based activities that carried a risk of drowning.
  • the present invention presents a Portable Cover for a Lifebuoy, which not only allows for the use of a Lifebuoy in a conventional manner, but also allows for its transport and personal use, both on shore excursions and at the beach, in any water-based activity.
  • the invention is designed to achieve portability of a lifebuoy, using a small hooking device fixed to the waist of one's trousers or at another point, or simply by inserting it into a bag.
  • a cover opens longitudinally and on its edges a velcro-type material is positioned.
  • This material develops a resistance to opening such that it allows for the integrity of the ensemble during its transfer, but does not prevent the lifebuoy from expanding when the sensor-actuator is activated on contact with water.
  • This sensor-actuator is housed with the lifebuoy and wound inside the sheath. The sensor-actuator is always exposed when it is inserted inside the cover, so that contact with the water when in use is not impeded.
  • FIG. 1 shows the deployed lifebuoy ( 4 ), and the inflation actuator-sensor ( 5 ).
  • FIG. 1 below shows the lifebuoy ( 4 ) and the sensor-actuator ( 5 ) inside the cover ( 1 ) in the open position, where we also observe the velcro-type closure ( 2 ) and the hooking device ( 3 ) .
  • FIG. 2 the cover ( 1 ) is shown in the closed position, where the lower part of the inflation sensor-actuator ( 5 ) and the hooking device ( 3 ) are shown on an upper edge.
  • the invention consists of a sheath ( 1 ), open longitudinally, and on whose longitudinal edges a velcro-type material ( 2 ) is arranged, also having a hooking device ( 3 ) arranged at one end.
  • the lifebuoy ( 4 ) and its corresponding sensor-actuator ( 5 ) for inflation are housed rolled inside the sheath, in such a way that the head of the sensor-actuator is always exposed, forming a compact and easily transportable ensemble, as can be seen in FIG. 2 .
