Embodiment Construction

[0059] In general, a personal buoyancy device is provided as a kit for using such a device for a user, and includes a bodysuit member, and a container containing buoyant gas and an actuation assembly, both mounted to the bodysuit member superior. The bodysuit member is worn by the user, for example, on the wrist or neck. The actuation assembly is in operative communication with the buoyant gas-containing container for selective actuation to provide fluid communication between the buoyant gas-containing container and the inflatable member. Actuation of the actuation assembly releases buoyant gas into the inflatable member, causing the inflatable member to inflate and provide buoyancy to the personal flotation device.

Abstract

A personal flotation device for a user comprises a bodywear member, as well as a container containing buoyant gas and an actuation assembly, both of which are mounted to the bodywear member. The bodywear member is to be worn to by the user such as on the wrist or the neck. The actuation assembly is in operative communication with the container containing buoyant gas for selectively being actuated so as to provide fluid communication between the container containing buoyant gas and the inflatable member. Actuation of the actuation assembly provides for releasing the buoyant gas into the inflatable member causing the inflatable member to inflate and provide buoyancy to the personal flotation device.
