Description

  Even if the entire body including the head falls into a critical state where the entire body including the head is swallowed by the tsunami or flood and becomes incapable of breathing, the present invention attaches to the head and raises the head above the water. It relates to a lifesaving device that allows breathing and can be evacuated safely.

  A number of life-saving devices, such as life jackets and floats, have been proposed for life-saving devices for protecting lives and evacuating safely in the event of a flood. Of these, life jackets are generally known, but they should be carried around during normal times. Therefore, it was not possible to cope with a situation where a person suffered from a flood such as a tsunami when going out, and his head was submerged in water and could not breathe.

  Because of this, it is necessary to have a refuge tool that can be always carried around in case of flooding, can be easily worn in an emergency, and can respond to disasters such as tsunamis. The current situation is that it has not been realized.

Conventionally, when a tsunami or flood is evacuated, a lifesaving device has been invented, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, in which a gas cylinder and an air bag are attached, and a lifesaving bag is automatically inflated in the event of a flood.
