Description

La présente invention a pour objet à titre de produit industriel nouveau un dispositif dont les dimensions permettent de le porter àson poignet pendant les baignades en mer et gui sert à se faire repérer visuellement, en cas de danger de noyade, au moyen d'un ballon de couleur vive qui flot -te à la surface de l'eau.The subject of the present invention is, as a new industrial product, a device the dimensions of which allow it to be worn on one's wrist during bathing at sea and which is used for visual identification, in the event of danger of drowning, by means of a balloon. brightly colored floating on the surface of the water.

Quand on se trouve en danger de noyade à cause d'épuisement des for -ces ou pour tout autre cause, la plus part des cas on se trouve dans l'incapacité d'alerter les autres baigneurs, de même que les autres bai -gneurs n'arrivent Pas à distinguer un baigneur en difficulté d'un autre alors qu'un ballon de forme particulière et de couleur vive qui flotte à la surface de l'eau est vite repérable. When one is in danger of drowning because of exhaustion of the forces or for any other cause, most of the cases one is unable to alert the other bathers, as well as the other bathers Can not distinguish a bather in difficulty from another when a ball of particular shape and bright color that floats on the surface of the water is quickly spotted.

Le dispositif objet de la présente invention est remarquable en ce qu'il comporte une bombe d'air comprimé auquel est raccordé un ballon en matière plastique fine, le tout pouvant etre inséré dans un boîtier dont les dimensions permettent de le porter à son poignet tout comme une montre
Le beitier est fermé par un couvercle assurant l'étanchéïté de l'ensemble.
The device which is the subject of the present invention is remarkable in that it comprises a can of compressed air to which a balloon made of fine plastic material is connected, the whole being able to be inserted in a case the dimensions of which allow it to be worn on his wrist while like a watch
The case is closed by a cover ensuring the tightness of the assembly.

Sur ce couvercle eet appliquée une languette de la forme des inter- -rupteurs des lampes de poche, quand le baigneur se sent en danger de noyade, il n'aura qu'à pousser la languette pour que simultanément,la bombe d'air comprimé libère l'air dans le ballon et le couvercl@ s'ouvre pour libérer la bombe et le ballon qui par la poussée d'arohiiède reste apparent à la surface de l'eau. La bombe d'air comprimé etant reliée par du fil au boîtier, le secour@ste n'aura donc aucun mal à retrouver le noyé, même par fond sombre. Le ballon est de couleur vive; Jaune ou blanc, de façon à être vite repéré. On this cover and applied a tab in the shape of the inter-switches of the flashlights, when the bather feels in danger of drowning, he will only have to push the tab so that simultaneously, the bomb of compressed air releases the air in the balloon and the cover @ opens to release the bomb and the balloon which by the arohiïde thrust remains visible on the surface of the water. The bomb of compressed air being connected by wire to the housing, the resour @ ste will therefore have no trouble finding the drowned person, even on a dark background. The balloon is brightly colored; Yellow or white, so as to be quickly spotted.

Une forme d'éxècution de l'invention est décrite ci-après à titre indicatif et nullement liiitatif en se référant aux dessins annexés. One embodiment of the invention is described below by way of indication and not in any way restrictive, with reference to the attached drawings.

La figure 1 est une vue de face du dispositif.Figure 1 is a front view of the device.

La figure 2 est une coupe axiale.Figure 2 is an axial section.

Le dispositif comporte un boîtier 3 auquel est relié un bracelet de façon à etre porté au poignet. La bombe d'air comprimé 1, semblable à celles éxistantes déja sur le marché, est disposée au centre et maintenue latéralement par un petit rebord circulaire faisant partie du boitier 3. The device comprises a housing 3 to which a bracelet is connected so as to be worn on the wrist. The compressed air pump 1, similar to those already existing on the market, is placed in the center and held laterally by a small circular rim forming part of the housing 3.

Le ballon 2 est en matière plastique fine et rigide, une fois gonflé, aura la forme d'uncube dont seulement des galeries au niveau des aretes sont gonflées d'air de façon à utiliser le moins d'air possible . Il est rac -cordé à la bombe 1 et plié et enroulé autour de oelle-ci de façon à tenir en place dans le boitier 3.The balloon 2 is made of fine and rigid plastic material, once inflated, will have the shape of a cube of which only galleries at the level of the edges are inflated with air so as to use the least possible air. It is connected with the bomb 1 and folded and wrapped around it so as to hold it in place in the case 3.

Le couvercle 5 est relié au boitier 3 au moyen de charnières à ressort 6 et d'une fermeture à ressert 7. Ces deux élèments étant très cennus il est innutil de les décrire. The cover 5 is connected to the housing 3 by means of spring hinges 6 and a spring closure 7. These two elements being very common, it is unnecessary to describe them.

Le couvercle 5 sert à assurer l'étanchéïté du dispositif et à maintenir en position la bombe 1 au moyen de pieds faisant partie de ce ceuvercle comme indiqué sur la figure 2. D@ part et d'autre du ceuvercle5 est appliqué un élèment 4 composé de deux parties et agissant c@mme un intérupteur de lampe de peche.C'est cet élèment 4 qu'il suffira de pouss -er par simple préssion du deigt pour que son tour il peusse le beuten d'échappement d'air de la be@be 1 en pesition "euvert" et simultanément tire,au moyen d'un fil, le levier de la fermeture à ressort en pesition "euvert", c'est ainsi que le couvercle s'euvre grace aux charnières à ressert pour libérer la bembe d'air comprimé 1 et le ballen 2 qui reste -rent en surface sous l'effet de la poussée d'archimède tout en restant reliés au poignet du baigneur en dificulté au moyen d'un fil reliant la la beibe d'air comprimé 1 au beitier 3,
Le bouton d'échappement d'air de la bombe 1 reste en position "euvert" grace à deux languettes fixées sur la bembe 1 comme indiqué sur la figure 2.
The cover 5 is used to ensure the tightness of the device and to keep the bomb 1 in position by means of feet forming part of this cover as indicated in FIG. 2. D @ on either side of the cover 5 is applied an element 4 composed of two parts and acting as a switch for a fishing lamp. It is this element 4 that it will suffice to push by simple pressure of the finger so that in turn it can lower the exhaust air outlet of the be @ be 1 in "green" weight and simultaneously pulls, by means of a wire, the lever of the spring closure in "green" weight, this is how the cover works thanks to the hinges to release the compressed air bembe 1 and the ballen 2 which remain on the surface under the effect of the archimedes' push while remaining connected to the swimmer's wrist in dificulty by means of a wire connecting the air beibe tablet 1 in case 3,
The bomb 1 air exhaust button remains in the "open" position thanks to two tabs fixed on the bembe 1 as shown in FIG. 2.

Il est évident que le volume d'air comprimé centenu dans la benbe 1 est égal au volume qui deit le centenir dans le ballen. Des dimensions sont dennées à titre d'exemple :La bombe 1 fait 3cm de diametre et 1cm de hauteur, l'air y est comprimé à 35bars. Le ballen,une fois gonflé d'air aura la ferme d'un cube de 20cm d'arête, la galerie d'air au niveau de chaque arête est de 1cm de diametre. It is obvious that the volume of compressed air centered in the tank 1 is equal to the volume which deit to center it in the ballen. Dimensions are given as an example: The bomb 1 is 3cm in diameter and 1cm in height, the air is compressed to 35bars. The ballen, once inflated with air will have the firmness of a 20cm cube of edge, the air gallery at the level of each edge is 1cm in diameter.

Il bien entendu que la presente invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté qui const@tue seulement un exemple auquel de nembreuses modifications peuvent être appertées sans qu'on s'écarte de la présente ineention,
La forme et les dimentions du ballom peuvent être modifiés, ainsi que le beitier qui peut être perté au cou au bout d'un colier et enfin on peut ajeindre au dispositif des joints d'étanchéïté puisque ce dispositif est déstiné à une utilisation en milieu aquatique.
It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown, which is only an example to which numerous modifications can be made without departing from the present invention,
The shape and dimensions of the ballom can be modified, as well as the case which can be disturbed at the neck at the end of a collar and finally we can add to the device seals since this device is intended for use in an aquatic environment .
