Description

[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] Unreliable device with immersion alarm

[0003] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The invention, as the title of this specification states, is an unreliable device with a submersion alarm. This is an innovation that, within current techniques, provides previously unknown advantages.

[0005] TECHNICAL SECTOR

[0006] The present invention falls within the field of alarm systems, especially in alarms that react to a single specified, undesirable or abnormal condition, and not provided for elsewhere, as well as those that react to the presence of people within a body of water, for example, within a swimming pool or that react to an abnormal condition of a body of water.

[0007] STATE OF THE ART

[0008] The present invention arose from the observation of how children, even when using floating armbands, find themselves involved in emergency situations.

[0009] This is because parents or caregivers often trust that floatation armbands are sufficient and provide absolute safety in the water, but the reality is that unforeseen accidents can occur.

[0010] Accordingly, this invention presents an unreliable device with a submersion alarm for the purpose of providing an additional safety solution to protect children in case of emergency.

[0011] Currently, the existence of any unreliable device with immersion alarm that has structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal to or similar to those described in this specification, as claimed, is unknown.

[0012] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is the creation of an unreliable device with immersion alarm, which provides a notable innovation within its field of application in the current state of the art, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently included in the final claims that accompany this description.

[0013] The present invention relates to an unreliable device with immersion alarm, which comprises an unreliable element that integrates an alarm system capable of detecting difficulties in the water when the user is using the unreliable element, with the aim of ensuring the user's safety in the event of an aquatic emergency.

[0014] The present invention addresses the concern that even when children use floats, they may still find themselves in dangerous situations.

[0015] This device is very useful for providing an extra measure of safety and peace of mind for both parents and children, making it an indispensable tool for any water activity where children are present, and even for adults who don't know how to swim or are just starting to learn to swim.

[0016] This device features a built-in submersion alarm powered by a high-capacity, long-life power supply, which is housed and protected from contact with water within the device's housing.

[0017] This feature ensures that the alarm will continue to function even if the device is submerged in water, providing an additional measure of security.

[0018] In addition, the immersion alarm is designed to be sensitive enough to detect sudden and abnormal submersion, such as when a child accidentally falls into the water.

[0019] When an abnormal immersion is detected, the alarm is immediately activated, emitting lights and a loud, clearly distinct sound to alert parents, caregivers, and others nearby to the emergency situation. It also communicates and synchronizes with an external device that also emits light and sound signals, ensuring that the entire environment is alert to the emergency. This provides valuable time to take quick action and rescue the child in danger. To use the immersion alarm device, simply inflate the immersion device before the child enters the water. It fits securely around the child's arms or body, making it easy, practical, and comfortable.

[0020] EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES

[0021] To complete the description being made and in order to help better understand the characteristics of the invention, this descriptive report is attached, as an integral part thereof, with a figure in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented.

[0022] Figure 1 represents the unreliable device with immersion alarm.

[0023] PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION.

[0024] The unreliable device with immersion alarm comprises an unreliable element (1) that integrates an alarm system (2) capable of detecting difficulties in the water when the user is using the unreliable element (1), with the aim of ensuring the safety of the user in case of aquatic emergency.

[0025] For this purpose, the alarm system (2) comprises:

[0026] - a pressure sensor configured to measure the pressure inside the inflatable element. This detects if the inflatable element is losing pressure due to a puncture or, for example, if the cap is improperly closed. If it loses air, it will lose buoyancy.

[0027] - a control unit connected to the pressure sensor, configured to activate the alarm element if the pressure is lower than a set value.

[0028] - a battery (4), which will usually be rechargeable.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the unreliable element (1) is a tool especially used by children or adults, inclusive, in order to provide buoyancy while performing aquatic activities, said unreliable element (1) being of the type of floating sleeves, flotation belts or floating vests.

[0030] The device also includes a wireless communication module, which can be via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, so that the notification or alarm can be sent to a mobile phone. It can also have an audible and / or light alarm.

[0031] The alarm system (2) will be contained in a housing (2.1) fixed to the unreliable element (1)-

[0032] The device may also include a contact sensor located on the face of the inflatable element, which is in contact with the user when worn, and the contact sensor being connected to the control module. This allows us to detect when the child has removed the cuffs and send an alarm signal.

[0033] Preferably, the alarm system (2) is associated with an external device (3) by means of wireless communication and emits the transmission of a second sound alarm and / or a second light alarm in said external device (3), in such a way that people outside the environment of the emergency event can take the pertinent measures to help the victim.

[0034] Generally, the external device (3) is of the type that has a second casing (3.1) that is intended to be fixed on a nearby and convenient surface according to the estimates of persons responsible for the user.

[0035] Preferably, the external device (3) can be carried by persons responsible for the user.

[0036] Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the manner of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to explain it further so that any expert in the field may understand its scope and the advantages derived from it, stating that, within its essence, it may be put into practice in other embodiments that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example, and to which it will also achieve the protection sought provided that its fundamental principle is not altered, changed or modified.
