Abstract

A distress signaling device with remote display, location indication, and light emission functions includes: an inflatable bag with text or graphics marked on its surface for use as a distress signal; an inflation mechanism for inflating the bag; a connecting line, one end of which is connected to the bag; a light emitter mounted on the connecting line, the light emitter emitting light; and a ring connected to the other end of the connecting line for wearing on the user's body. In use, the bag is inflated via the inflation mechanism, and the ring is worn on the user's body. When inflated, the bag floats in the air, and is connected to the user via the connecting line and the ring, allowing the bag to indicate the user's location. Furthermore, the text or graphics marked on the bag and the light emitted by the light emitter create a conspicuous effect, enabling nearby personnel to quickly locate the user. The device also includes a battery and a solar power generation mechanism connected to the battery.

Claims

1. A distress signal device with remote display, location indication, and light emission functions, comprising: a bag body, which is an inflatable structure, the bag body including an air nozzle; the surface of the bag body is marked with text or graphics for use as a distress signal; when the bag body is inflated, it can generate buoyancy and float in the air; an inflation mechanism for inflating the bag body; the inflation mechanism includes an inflation tube, which is inserted into the air nozzle of the bag body in use to inflate the bag body, so that the bag body forms a spherical shape; a connecting wire, one end of which is connected to the bag body; a light emitter installed on the connecting wire, the light emitter emitting light; a ring body connected to the other end of the connecting wire, the ring body being worn on the user's body, so that the bag body can be connected to the user via the connecting wire and the ring body, thereby indicating the user's location and preventing separation from the user; a battery connected to the light emitter for storing electrical energy; A solar power generation mechanism is connected to the battery. It uses solar panels to collect sunlight and convert it into electrical energy, which is then supplied to other components of the system, such as the light emitter. In use, the bag is inflated via an inflation mechanism, and the ring is worn by the user. Once inflated, the bag floats in the air. Since the bag is connected to the user via the connecting line and the ring, it can indicate the user's location. Furthermore, the text or graphics marked on the bag, along with the light emitted by the light emitter, create a conspicuous effect, allowing nearby people to quickly spot the user.

2. The distress device with remote display, location indication and light emission functions as described in claim 1 further includes a housing structure with a hollow space for accommodating the bag, the inflation mechanism, the connecting wire, the light emitter, the ring, the battery and the solar power generation mechanism; therefore, the user can carry the bag, the inflation mechanism, the connecting wire, the light emitter, the ring, the battery and the solar power generation mechanism simultaneously through the housing structure.

3. The distress device with remote display, location indication and light emission functions as described in claim 2 further includes a swim ring, which is an inflatable structure for wearing on the user's body. The swim ring has an inflation port. When the swim ring is inflated, it allows the user to float on the water. When not in use, the swim ring is stored in the housing structure. When in use, the swim ring is worn on the user's body, allowing the user to float in the water for a long time while waiting for rescue without drowning.

4. The distress device with remote display, location indication and light emission functions as described in claim 1, wherein the diameter of the bag is 60 cm.

5. The distress device with remote display, location indication and light emission functions as described in claim 1, wherein the material of the bag body is PVC.

6. The distress device with remote display, location indication and light emission functions as described in claim 3, wherein the swimming ring is made of PVC.

7. The distress device with remote display, location indication and light emission functions as described in claim 1, wherein the air content of the inflation mechanism is two to three times the air content that allows the bag to float.

8. A distress device with remote display, location indication and light emission functions as described in claim 1, wherein the light emitter can emit light of different colors and can emit light in a flashing manner.

9. A distress device with remote display, location indication and light emission functions as described in claim 1, wherein the distance between the light emitter and the bag body is approximately 1 to 2 meters.

10. A distress device with remote display, location indication and light emission functions as described in claim 1, wherein the length of the connecting line is 20 meters.

11. A distress device with remote display, location indication and light emission functions as described in claim 1, wherein the connecting line is a cotton water line.

12. A distress device with remote display, location indication and light emission functions as described in claim 1, wherein the ring is made of an elastic material.

13. A distress device with remote display, location indication and light emission functions as described in claim 1, wherein the text is in an SOS or distress font.

14. A distress device with remote display, location indication and light emission functions as described in claim 2, wherein the housing structure is a bag or waist bag, which allows the user to carry it conveniently on their person.

15. The distress device with remote display, location indication and light emission functions as described in claim 1, wherein the gas contained in the inflation mechanism is helium.

16. The distress device with remote display, location indication and light emission functions as described in claim 1 further includes a battery connected to the light emitter for storing electrical energy.

17. The distress device with remote display, location indication and light emission functions as described in claim 16 further includes a solar power generation mechanism connected to the battery, which uses a solar panel to collect sunlight and convert sunlight into electrical energy.

18. A distress device with remote display, location indication and light emission functions as described in claim 3, wherein the swim ring, the housing structure and the ring body are yellow so that people at a distance can easily see these mechanisms.

19. A distress device with remote display, location indication and light emission functions as described in claim 18, wherein the bag body, the battery and the solar power generation mechanism are waterproof.
