Abstract
A floatation attachment system may include a floatation attachment device configured to be attached to an object. The floatation attachment device may include a floatation material configured to provide buoyancy to the object it attaches and an attachment surface configured to directly attach the object. The floatation material may include a material that expands or generates gas upon contact with water. The system may include a dispenser such as a sheet of pre-cut floatation attachment devices or for manual cutting for customized shapes and sizes. In one instance, the system includes a tape roll dispenser for dispensing floatation attachment devices from a roll.
Claims20
A floatation attachment system comprising:
- a floatation attachment device configured to be attached to an object comprising:
- a floatation material configured to provide buoyancy;
- and
- an attachment surface configured to directly attach the object;
- and
- a dispenser configured to dispense a plurality of floatation attachment devices,
- wherein the dispenser comprises a tape roll including a backing layer positioned along the attachment surface that is removable to expose the attachment surface for attachment to the object.
A floatation attachment system comprising:
- a floatation attachment device configured to be attached to an object comprising:
- a floatation material configured to provide buoyancy;
- and
- an attachment surface configured to directly attach the object,
- wherein the floatation material comprises an expansion material,
- wherein the expansion material comprises one or more gas generating reactants that generate gas upon contact with water or upon being mixed together.
A floatation attachment system comprising:
- a floatation attachment device configured to be attached to an object comprising:
- a floatation material configured to provide buoyancy;
- an attachment surface configured to directly attach the object, wherein the floatation material comprises an expansion material;
- and
- a chamber housing the one or more gas generating reactants and an opening between the chamber and an exterior of the floatation attachment device.
A floatation attachment system comprising:
- a floatation attachment device configured to be attached to an object comprising:
- a floatation material configured to provide buoyancy;
- an attachment surface configured to directly attach the object, wherein the floatation material comprises an expansion material;
- at a least first chamber housing a first material and a second chamber housing a second material;
- a water sensitive material separating the first and second chambers;
- an opening to an exterior of the floatation attachment device;
- and
- a passage between the opening and the water sensitive material, wherein the expansion material comprises the first material and the second material and the first material and second materials are configured to react when contacted to generate a gas.
A floatation attachment system comprising:
