Abstract
A throwable rotateable rescue device having an outer annular chamber for winding storage of a retrieval cord and a connector therein and a loop therein engaged with a connector and cord, which is maintained in the annular chamber during throwing of the rescue ring to a person in distress, the loop extendable out of the annular chamber when the cord and connector are to be engaged or disengaged from the rescue device.
Claims20
A hand throwable rotateable rescue device comprising:
- an annular member having an outer peripheral surface having an airfoil shape and an inner peripheral surface having an airfoil shape, with the outer peripheral surface forming a leading edge of the annular member, said annular member having a first annular peripheral chamber for storing and unwinding a cord therefrom as the rotateable rescue device is thrown and a second annular peripheral chamber comprising a connector guide with the second annular peripheral chamber radially spaced from the first annular peripheral chamber;
- a slip band rotationally supported in said first annular peripheral chamber;
- a loop having a first end pivotally secured to the slip band therein with a free end of said loop pivotable out of the first annular peripheral chamber for attachment or removal of a connector and pivotable into the first annular peripheral chamber for winding the connecter and the cord around the slip band while a portion of the connector extends through the slip band into the connector guide as the slip band rotates within the rotateable rescue device.
A hand throwable rotateable rescue device comprising:
- a first annular side wall and a second annular side wall extending around a periphery of the rotatable rescue device;
- a first annular bearing surface adjoined to the first annular sidewall and a second annular bearing surface adjoined to the second annular sidewall with the first annular side wall and the second annular sidewall forming a portion of a storage compartment for a cord therein;
- a third annular sidewall;
- and
- a fourth annular side wall with said third annular side wall and said fourth annular side wall forming an annular connector guide within the rotatable rescue device.
2 more elements
A hand throwable rotateable rescue device including:
- an annular cord chamber in said rotateable rescue device for storing a connector and a cord in a wound condition therein;
- a loop pivotally secured at a bottom of the annular cord chamber with the loop connectable to a connector when said loop is in an extended condition with at least a portion of the loop located outside the annular cord chamber to provide quick attachment or detachment of the connector thereto.
