Benefits of technology

The present invention is an air bag structure that includes a first air bag, a second air bag, and an intermediate partition between them. The intermediate partition is designed to be extensible, meaning it can be stretched and deformed. When one of the air bags breaks, the other air bag is inflated. The intermediate partition uses its flexibility to change shape and increase the air volume. This helps to maintain buoyancy and extend the time it takes for the air bag to fully inflate, ensuring the safety of the occupant.

Problems solved by technology

The most worrying thing about water activities is the safety.
When someone falls into the water and waits for rescue, if there is no ideal auxiliary life-saving equipment, the drowning person may be in a state of exhaustion even if he / she has skills in swimming.
A common life jacket having Styrofoam is inconvenient for surfing activities due to the internal Styrofoam material.
However, if the air bag is broken by a reef, a rock or the like, this kind of life jacket will decrease or loss buoyancy to cause a danger.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0014]As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the present invention discloses an air bag structure. The air bag structure comprises an air bag body 1 disposed in a life jacket. The air bag body 1 comprises a first outer cladding 11, an intermediate partition 13, and a second outer cladding 12. The intermediate partition 13 is disposed between the first outer cladding 11 and the second outer cladding 12. The edges of the first outer cladding 11, the intermediate partition 13 and the second outer cladding 12 are sealed by pressing, so that a first air bag 14 is formed between the first outer cladding 11 and the intermediate partition 13, and a second air bag 15 is formed between the second outer cladding 12 and the intermediate partition 13. A very important feature of the present invention is that the material area of the intermediate partition 13 is greater th...

Abstract

An air bag structure includes an air bag body. The air bag body includes a first air bag, a second air bag, and an intermediate partition disposed between the first air bag and the second air bag. The intermediate partition is extensible. When one of the air bags is broken, the other air bag is inflated. The intermediate partition is deformed to move toward the rupture, and the air volume of the good air bag is doubled and returned to the original air volume, thereby maintaining buoyancy.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to an air bag structure, and more particularly to an air bag structure having a filling function. The air bag structure may be applied to a life jacket. When a partial structure is broken, the air bag structure is able to restore the volume of the air bag in a filling way, thereby maintaining buoyancy.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Water activities are one of leisure activities that people loves to do, such as swimming, surfing or driving sails. The most worrying thing about water activities is the safety. When someone falls into the water and waits for rescue, if there is no ideal auxiliary life-saving equipment, the drowning person may be in a state of exhaustion even if he / she has skills in swimming. Therefore, it is necessary to wear a life jacket for water sports. A common life jacket having Styrofoam is inconvenient for surfing activities due to the internal Styrofoam material. In recent years, a life jacket is develo...
