Abstract
A throwable rotatable rescue device having a cord wound therein including a cord reel for storing and unwinding the cord therefrom as the rescue device is thrown. One end of the cord is detachably mounted to the rescue device to enable a person receiving a thrown rescue device to reach into an interior region of the rescue device and detach the cord from the rescue device. Thereafter one can attach the cord to an object that can be retrieved by pulling on the cord.
Claims17
A throwable rotatable rescue device with a detachable line comprising:
- an annular member having an upper outer peripheral surface having an airfoil shape and an inner upper peripheral surface having an airfoil shape, with the upper outer peripheral surface forming a leading edge of the annular member and the inner upper peripheral surface forming a trailing edge of the annular member with said annular member having an annular recess for storing and unwinding a cord therefrom as the rescue device is thrown;
- a lower surface connecting an edge of the upper outer peripheral surface to an edge of the inner upper peripheral surface;
- a post located on said annular member;
- and
- an attachment member securable to a cord and to the post on the annular ring for maintaining engagement with the annular ring when the rescue device is thrown but detachable after the rescue device has been thrown.
A throwable rotatable rescue device with a detachable line comprising:
- an annular member having an upper outer peripheral surface having an airfoil shape and an inner upper peripheral surface having an airfoil shape, with the upper outer peripheral surface forming a leading edge of the annular member and the inner upper peripheral surface forming a trailing edge of the annular member with said annular member having an annular recess for storing and unwinding a cord therefrom as the rescue device is thrown;
- said upper outer peripheral surface including a peripheral weight having a greater density than the density of the rescue ring
- a lower surface connecting an edge of the upper outer peripheral surface to an edge of the inner upper peripheral surface;
- and
- an attachment member securable to a cord and to the annular ring for maintaining engagement with the annular ring when the rescue device is thrown but detachable after the rescue device has been thrown.
A throwable rotatable rescue device with a detachable line comprising:
- an annular member having an upper outer peripheral surface having an airfoil shape and an inner upper peripheral surface having an airfoil shape, with the upper outer peripheral surface forming a leading edge of the annular member and the inner upper peripheral surface forming a trailing edge of the annular member with said annular member having an annular recess for storing and unwinding a cord therefrom as the rescue device is thrown said annular member includes a rotatable reel;
- a lower surface connecting an edge of the upper outer peripheral surface to an edge of the inner upper peripheral surface;
- and
- an attachment member securable to a cord and to the annular ring for maintaining engagement with the annular ring when the rescue device is thrown but detachable after the rescue device has been thrown.
A throwable rotatable rescue device with a detachable line comprising:
- an annular member with said annular member having an annular recess for storing and unwinding a cord therefrom as the rescue device is thrown said annular member having a pocket located within the annular member;
- a post;
- and an attachment member securable in the pocket within the ring in a position radially offset from a cord reel surface to permit winding or unwinding of the cord without interference of the attachment member as the rescue ring is thrown.
