WATER SAFETY GARMENT, RELATED APPARATUS AND METHODS
A water safety garment and apparatus configured to avoid drowning can be configured to permit submergence for a predetermined period of time without inflation. After the predetermined time has passed, the garment or other apparatus can be configured to inflate to help a person wearing the garment float on top of the water to avoid drowning or other potentially harmful condition that may result from being underwater for too long. In some embodiments, a circuit may be utilized to detect the submergence condition of a person wearing the apparatus or garment. Upon a determination that the detected submergence condition has occurred continuously for a pre-determined period of time, an inflation mechanism can be actuated to force the person wearing the apparatus or garment to float to the top of the water.
ELECTRO-PNEUMATIC VALVE WITH PRESSURIZED CONTAINER
An electro-pneumatic valve assembly includes a valve having a valve housing and a poppet and a solenoid valve having an actuator housing and a valve body. The valve housing has a wall that defines a valve inlet that is arranged to receive a fluid flow from a pressurized container and defines a valve outlet and a first port. The poppet is disposed within the valve housing and is movable between a first position and a second position. The actuator housing defines an opening. The valve body has a first wall that defines an inlet that is fluidly connected to the first port and a second wall that defines an outlet that is fluidly connected to the second port.
INLINE ASPIRATOR FOR INFLATABLE ASSEMBLIES
An inline for an inflatable assembly may comprise a first end defining a primary gas inlet and a second end defining a primary gas outlet. An internal surface may define a flow path extending from the primary gas inlet to the primary gas outlet. An orifice may be located between the first end and the second end. The orifice may be defined, at least partially, by a radial wall extending from the internal surface to the external surface. The orifice may be configured to entrain ambient air with a primary gas flowing from the primary gas inlet to the primary gas outlet.
SOLENOID VALVE FOR INFLATION SYSTEM
A valve assembly is provided and includes a valve housing, an actuator housing coupled to the valve housing and configured when actuated to open a normally-closed valve element in the valve housing whereby pressurized fluid is permitted to flow through the valve housing and a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve includes an armature-valve element balanced to remain in a closed position and an electromagnet. The electromagnet generates magnetic flux that moves the armature-valve element into an open position such that at least a portion of the pressurized fluid flows into the actuator housing to actuate the actuator housing.

Life-saving equipment around pond
The invention discloses a life-saving device around a pond, comprising a base, wherein a pillar is fixed on the top surface of the base, a ceiling is fixed on the top surface of the pillar, and a cavity is provided in the ceiling. A recovery shaft is rotatably provided in the cavity, and two sets of ropes are wound around the periphery of the recovery shaft. A hanging plate is fixed on the right side of the column, and a life ring is mounted on the hanging plate. The life ring It can be tied with the rope so that when the life buoy is thrown into the water, it can be rotated by the recovery shaft to pull the life buoy back. The present invention can inflate the life buoy and oxygen mask through the rotation of the inflatable shaft. Accelerating the inflation efficiency, eliminating the need to replace the oxygen mask and life buoy back and forth, saving rescue time, meanwhile, rescuers and rescued people can be quickly pulled back to the shore by a rope at the same time, saving rescue time and energy.
