Abstract
A water survival device has an inflatable liferaft and a pressurized gas bottle packed in a container. The container has a first waterproof compartment containing the liferaft and a second waterproof compartment containing the pressurized gas bottle. The first and second waterproof compartments are separated by a substantially planar rigid watertight partition. The second waterproof compartment can be opened without opening the first waterproof compartment so that it is possible to inspect the pressurized gas bottle without opening the first waterproof compartment.

Water survival device of the inflatable liferaft type packed in a container and equipped with survival material comprising one pressurised gas bottle, said water survival device comprising:
- a planar rigid watertight partition,
- a top lid fixed on a peripheral edge of said watertight partition and defining with said watertight partition a first waterproof compartment containing said liferaft,
- a bottom lid fixed under said watertight partition, and defining with said watertight partition a second waterproof compartment containing said survival material, so that said second waterproof compartment can be dismantled without opening said first waterproof compartment, and wherein said liferaft when inflated comprises a floor comprising a flexible section and a rigid central section, said rigid central section of said floor being constituted by said watertight partition.
Water survival device of the inflatable liferaft type packed in a container equipped with survival material comprising one pressurized gas bottle, wherein said container comprises a first waterproof compartment containing said liferaft, and said container comprises a second waterproof compartment containing said survival material, said first and second waterproof compartments being separated by a rigid watertight partition which is substantially planar in shape, said water survival device comprising means for opening said second waterproof compartment without opening said first waterproof compartment, so that it is possible to inspect and control said survival material contained in said second waterproof compartment without opening said first waterproof compartment,
- wherein said first waterproof compartment is factory-filled with an inert gas, at a pressure which is substantially different from atmospheric pressure and wherein it comprises means allowing, without opening said first waterproof compartment, control of a pressure prevailing within said first waterproof compartment.
Water survival device of the inflatable liferaft type packed in a container and equipped with survival material comprising one pressurized gas bottle, said water survival device comprising:
- a planar rigid watertight partition,
- a top lid fixed on one side of said watertight partition and defining with said watertight partition a first waterproof compartment containing said liferaft,
- a bottom lid fixed on another side of said watertight partition, and defining with said watertight partition a second waterproof compartment containing said survival material, so that said second waterproof compartment can be dismantled without opening said first waterproof compartment,
- wherein said first waterproof compartment is factory-filled with an inert gas, at a pressure which is substantially different from atmospheric pressure and wherein it comprises means allowing, without opening said first waterproof compartment, control of a pressure prevailing within said first waterproof compartment.
