Abstract
A device for the signaling of an emergency and for identification to helpers to find the person in need of aid. Through mechanical, chemical or electronic triggering, a balloon is filled with gas that is lighter than air, the balloon - which is held by a connecting line - floats above the person/object in need of help.
Description
ALARMBALLON l ALARM BALLOON l
Beschreibungdescription
Alarmballon löst das Problem, dass bei Eintritt eines Notfalls, der Hilfebedürftige für die Helfer oft schwer zu lokalisieren ist: Am Wasser, im Gelände oder auch in einer Menschenmasse.Alarm balloon solves the problem that when an emergency occurs, the needy for the helpers is often difficult to locate: on the water, in the field or in a crowd.
Alarmballon besteht ausAlarm balloon consists of
• einem Ballon,• a balloon,
• einem Behälter, der ein komprimiertes Gas enthält, welches leichter ist als Luft,A container containing a compressed gas which is lighter than air,
• einem SOS-Wimpel,• an SOS pennant,
• einer Leine, die Ballon und Wimpel mit dem Träger (Person oder Objekt) verbindet,• a leash connecting balloon and pennant to the wearer (person or object),
• einem Paket, in welchem die oben angeführten Bestandteile eng zusammengelegt verpackt sind.• a package in which the above-mentioned components are packed tightly together.
Durch mechanisches Aufreißen des Pakets bzw. chemische (Kontakt mit Wasser) oder elektronische (Sensor) Auslösung entlädt sich das Gas aus dem Gasbehälkter in den Ballon. Der Ballon steigt auf und ist über die Leine mit der Person oder dem Objekt verbunden, welche Hilfe benötigt. Der SOS-Wimpel, der unter dem Ballon angebracht ist, dient als zusätzlicher Blickfang. Damit ist die Notfallssituation und die Position der Person / des Objektes über einen längeren Zeitraum auch aus größerer Entfernung gut zu erkennen.By mechanical disruption of the package or chemical (contact with water) or electronic (sensor) triggering, the gas discharges from the Gasbehälkter in the balloon. The balloon rises and is connected via the leash to the person or object in need of help. The SOS pennant attached under the balloon serves as an additional eye-catcher. Thus, the emergency situation and the position of the person / object over a long period of time, even from a greater distance is clearly visible.
Der Ballon besteht - je nach Einsatzgebiet - aus adäquatem Material. Ebenso kann das Gas variieren, wie die Länge der Leine und die Größe des SOS-Wimpels.The balloon is - depending on the application - made of adequate material. Likewise, the gas may vary, such as the length of the leash and the size of the SOS pennant.
In der persönlichen Variante wird das Alarmpaket als Armband getragen. Auf dem außen angebrachten Gasbehälter kann ergänzend eine Uhr, ein Kompass oder ähnliches angebracht sein. Der persönliche Alarmballon kann unter anderem - aber nicht ausschließlich - im Wassersport, im Alpinismus sowie bei Katastrofeneinsätzen getragen werden,In the personal version, the alarm package is worn as a bracelet. A clock, a compass or the like may additionally be attached to the externally mounted gas container. The personal alarm balloon can be worn, among other things - but not exclusively - in water sports, in alpinism and in catastrophe operations,
Andere Ausführungen des Alarmballons könnnen beispielsweise - aber nicht ausschließlich - auf Schwimmwesten, auf Rettungsinseln, auf Booten sowie an Land- und Luftfahrzeugen angebracht werden.Other versions of the alarm balloon may be, for example but not exclusively, mounted on lifejackets, life rafts, boats, and land and air vehicles.
Neben dem SOS-Wimpel können unter dem Ballon noch andere Elemente zur Erhöhung der Aufmerksamkeit angebracht werden, zum Beispiel, aber nicht ausschließlich, LED-Blinkleuchten, akustische Signalmittel oder Radiowellensender.
In addition to the SOS pennant, other elements may be placed under the balloon to increase attention, for example, but not limited to, LED indicators, audible signaling or radio wave transmitters.
Claims
