Embodiment Construction

A. Overview

[0037] Turning now descriptively to the drawings, in which similar reference characters denote similar elements throughout the several views, FIGS. 1 through 10b illustrate a shark repellent system 10, which comprises an attachable magnet 30 and a transmitter unit 20 that emits sound waves 21 at a frequency undesirable to sharks 19. The transmitter unit 20 is contained in a watertight enclosure 23 affixed to a buoyant device, and is preferably submerged in water while the buoyant device is in the water. The magnet 30 attaches to the transmitter unit 20 functioning as an on / off switch for the transmitter unit 20 and is also preferably connected to the buoyant device by a tether 32 and band 34. The applicant hereby incorporates by reference U.S. Pat. No. 6,606,963 into this application.

B. Transmitter Unit

[0038] The transmitter unit 20 enclosure 23 is preferably comprised of a substantially rigid material which could withstand the weight of a user 12 stepping on it or bei...

Abstract

A shark repellent system for repelling sharks away from an individual while boating. The shark repellent system includes an attachable magnet and a transmitter unit that emits sound waves at a frequency undesirable to sharks. The transmitter unit is contained in a watertight enclosure affixed to a buoyant device, and is usually submerged in water while the buoyant device is in the water. The magnet attaches to the transmitter unit functioning as an on / off switch for the transmitter unit and is also connected to the buoyant device by a tether and band.
