Benefits of technology

[0011]Therefore, to rescue a drowning person in the water by the invented water propelling device with a life-saving buoy ring is able to resolve the limitations of the distance and the direction of throwing out a buoy ring by differe

Problems solved by technology

However, it consumes a lot of physical strength for the lifeguard to swim with a floating object against water resistance.
In addition, it causes huge risks for the lifeguard to deal with the drowning person, such as to release grip and to free clutch of the drowning person.
As to throwing out a buoy ring, t

Abstract

A water propelling device is invented to rescue a drowning person with more efficiency and less risks, which includes an adjustable clamp apparatus, a hydro-driving mechanism, a waterproof chamber and a control monitor. The adjustable clamp apparatus is able to fasten various type of life-saving buoy rings. Inside the waterproof chamber, electronic circuit boards, a power supply unit with batteries, a wireless signal communication module and antennas, various sensor modules and an electronic speed controller are wired together as a control unit. The hydro-driving mechanism is at the bottom of the adjustable clamp apparatus, which is connected with the control unit to actuate and control the movements. Wireless signals are transmitted and received between the control monitor and the control unit, allowing a rescuer to operate the water propelling device remotely to deliver a life-saving buoy ring over the surface of water toward the drowning person.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONa) Field of the Invention[0001]The invention is related to a life-saving device for propelling a buoy ring in the water. More particularly, the life-saving device is able to transport a floating object, such as a buoy ring or a foam noodle, rapidly over the surface of water to a drowning person who is waiting for helps. The advantages of the invention are to increase the efficiency of a rescue mission and to reduce the risks a rescuer or a lifeguard encountered.b) Description of the Prior Art[0002]When a drowning person in the water is calling for helps, the most important task for a lifeguard or a rescuer is to deliver a buoy ring or an object with buoyancy rapidly to the drowning person to grip and clamber about, and then to tow the drowning person out of the water as quickly as possible.[0003]In general, a lifeguard will either swim, carrying a floating object, or throw out a buoy ring toward a drowning person. However, it consumes a lot of physical str...
