Abstract
A device (1) for survival at sea, comprising a pneumatic raft (2) or the like in the uninflated and folded state, together with at least one reservoir (3) of inflation fluid, which raft and reservoir are enclosed in a rigid container (4), the device being characterized in that the container (4) includes a hatch (9), and in that the reservoir of inflation fluid (3) is provided with at least one sensor (10) for detecting at least one magnitude characteristic of the state of the fluid contained in the reservoir, in particular its pressure and/or its temperature, and is organized in such a manner that said detected magnitude can be measured through the open hatch of the container, thereby enabling the state of the survival device to be inspected without opening the container.
Claims7
A device for survival at sea comprising a pneumatic raft in the uninflated and folded state, together with at least one reservoir of inflation fluid, which raft and reservoir are enclosed in a unitary compartment of a rigid container, the device being characterized in that unitary compartment of the container includes a hatch, and in that the reservoir of inflation fluid is provided with at least one sensor for detecting at least one magnitude characteristic of the state of the fluid contained in the reservoir and is organized in such a manner that said detected magnitude can be measured from the open hatch of the container, whereby the state of the survival device can be inspected without opening the container.
