Description

"Kinderhaisreif gegen Ertrinken""Children's shark hoop to prevent drowning"

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kinderhaisreif gegen Ertrinken.The invention relates to a children's shark hoop to prevent drowning.

Ertrinken ist bei Kleinkindern leider eine häufige Todesursache, und bei Kleinkindern reichen bereits minimale Wassertiefen aus, um die Gefahr entstehen zu lassen, daß ein Kleinkind ertrinkt, wenn es z. B. stürzt und mit dem Gesicht voran in das Wasser fällt.Unfortunately, drowning is a common cause of death in toddlers, and in toddlers minimal water depths are sufficient to create the risk of a toddler drowning when z. B. falls and falls face down into the water.

Es gibt bereits Schwimmhilfen, um zu erreichen, daß ein Kind nicht untergeht, wenn es ins Wasser fällt. Es sind z. B. Schwimmwesten bekannt oder sogenannte Schwimmflügel, d. h. aufblasbare Schwimmkörper, die am Oberarm des Kindes befestigt werden.Swimming aids are already available to ensure that a child does not sink when it falls into the water. There are e.g. B. life jackets known or so-called water wings, d. H. inflatable floats that attach to the child's upper arm.

Ein Nachteil dieser bekannten Schwimmhilfen ist, daß diese zwar den Kindern häufig angelegt werden, wenn die Kinder z. B. am Strand spielen oder sich auf einem Boot befinden. Im sogenannten Alltagsleben wird jedoch kaum ein Kind derartige Schwimmhilfen tragen, und bereits der Gartenteich in Nachbars Garten kann spielende Kinder gefährden.A disadvantage of these known swimming aids is that they are often put on the children when the children z. B. play on the beach or are on a boat. In so-called everyday life, however, hardly any child will wear such swimming aids, and even the garden pond in the neighboring garden can endanger playing children.

Zusätzlich gewähren gerade bei Kleinstkindern z. B. die Schwimmflügel nicht, daß diese Kleinstkinder nicht ertrinken können. Aufgrund der unzureichenden Motorik und Wahrnehmung der Kleinstkinder würden diese Schwimmflügel beispielsweise nicht den Zweck erfüllen, daß der Kopf des Kleinstkindes derart im Wasser angehoben wird, daß das Kleinstkind auch nach einem Sturz in einen Teich od. dgl. atmen kann. Auch eine Schwimmweste würde nicht automatisch zu einem Überleben eines Kleinstkindes im Wasser führen, denn je nach Art der eingesetzten Schwimmweste kann immer noch das Kleinstkind auf dem Bauch auf dem Wasser treiben, so daß dann die Atmung nicht erfolgen kann.In addition, especially for young children. B. the water wings not that these infants cannot drown. Due to the inadequate motor skills and perception of the young children, these water wings would not serve the purpose, for example, of raising the young child's head in the water in such a way that the young child can breathe even after falling into a pond or the like. Even a life jacket would not automatically lead to the survival of a young child in the water, because depending on the type of life jacket used, the young child can still open float on the stomach so that breathing cannot take place.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung insbesondere für Kleinstkinder zu schaffen, die zum einen unauffällig getragen werden kann und daher stets vom Kleinstkind getragen werden kann und die darüber hinaus im Notfall, d. h. bei einem Sturz in das Wasser, ein Überleben des Kindes ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to provide a device especially for young children, which can be worn inconspicuously on the one hand and therefore can always be worn by the youngest child and which in addition in an emergency, ie. H. if the child falls into the water, the child can survive.

Diese der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird durch die Lehre des kennzeichnenden Teiles des Hauptanspruches gelöst.This object on which the invention is based is achieved by the teaching of the characterizing part of the main claim.

Mit anderen Worten ausgedrückt wird eine Rettungsvorrichtung vorgeschlagen, die am Hals des Kindes getragen wird und die aus einem Sensor besteht, der nach einer entsprechenden Beaufschlagung mit Wasser das Aufblasen eines Schwimmkörpers bewirkt, so daß der Kopf des in das Wasser gefallenen Kindes von diesem Schwimmkissen derart angehoben wird, daß das Kind atmen kann.In other words, a rescue device is proposed, which is worn on the neck of the child and which consists of a sensor which, after appropriate exposure to water, causes a floating body to inflate, so that the head of the child who has fallen into the water is so affected by this floating cushion is raised so that the child can breathe.

In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist der Schwimmkörper im vorderen Bereich des Halsreifes angeordnet.In an advantageous embodiment, the floating body is arranged in the front area of the choker.

In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist der Sensor spritzwasserge- schützt, um ein Aufblasen des Schwimmkörpers z. B. beim Waschen des Kindes zu vermeiden.In an advantageous embodiment, the sensor is splash-proof in order to inflate the float, for. B. to avoid when washing the child.

Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn der Sensor im vorderen Bereich des Halsreifes angeordnet ist und in einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung kann der Sensor außerhalb des Halsreifes vorgesehen sein, z. B. kann der Sensor in einer Art Anhänger eingebaut sein, der an dem Halsreif angeordnet ist, so daß hier auch unter optischen Gesichtspunkten eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung des vorgeschlagenen Kinderhaisreifes ermöglicht wird. Um eine entsprechende optische Gestaltung des Halsreifes zu ermöglichen und um Verletzungen des aufblasbaren Schwimmkörpers zu vermeiden, ist es vorteilhaft, den Schwimmkörper in seiner nicht aufgeblasenen Ruhestellung innerhalb des Halsreifes bzw. geschützt am Halsreif anzuordnen.It is advantageous if the sensor is arranged in the front area of the choker and in a further advantageous embodiment the sensor can be provided outside the choker, e.g. B. the sensor can be installed in a type of pendant, which is arranged on the choker, so that here, even from an optical point of view, an advantageous embodiment of the proposed children's shark is made possible. In order to enable a corresponding optical design of the choker and to avoid injuries to the inflatable floating body, it is advantageous to arrange the floating body in its non-inflated rest position within the choker or in a protected manner on the choker.

Eine kostengünstige Ausgestaltung des Halsreifes ist möglich, wenn an dem Halsreif eine Abdeckung verwendet wird, die den in Ruhestellung befindlichen Schwimmkörper abdeckend ausgebildet ist und die sich, wenn sich der Schwimmkörper aufbläst, beiseitebewegt z. B. durch Verwendung eines Filmscharnieres an der Abdeckung oder eines sonstigen Scharnieres oder Gelenkes.An inexpensive design of the choker is possible if a cover is used on the choker, which is designed to cover the floating body in the rest position and which, when the floating body inflates, moves aside, for. B. by using a film hinge on the cover or another hinge or joint.

In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung können zwei entsprechende, beweglich angeordnete Abdeckungen gegenüber angeordnet sein, so daß das bewegliche Ende beider Abdeckungen zueinander zugewandt ist und im Fall des Auslösens des Schwimmkörpers kann sich der Schwimmkörper durch die Mitte zwischen diesen Abdeckungen nach außen entfalten.In an advantageous embodiment, two corresponding, movably arranged covers can be arranged opposite one another, so that the movable end of the two covers faces each other and, in the event that the floating body is triggered, the floating body can unfold outwards through the middle between these covers.

Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn an dem Kinderhaisreif auch ein akustischer und/oder ein optischer Signalgeber vorhanden ist, um in einem Gefahrenmoment durch ein akustisches bzw. optisches Signal auf den Notfall aufmerksam zu machen.It is advantageous if an acoustic and / or an optical signal transmitter is also present on the children's shark, in order to draw attention to the emergency by means of an acoustic or optical signal in the event of a hazard.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dar- gestelt, wobei inAn embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing, wherein in

Fig. 1 ein Kinderhaisreif in einer Gesamtdarstellung gezeigt wird,1 shows a children's shark hoop in an overall view,

Fig. 2 stellt in einer seitlichen Darstellungsweise denFig. 2 shows the side view

Fig. 3 zeigt in einer seitlichen Darstellung den Kinder- halsreif mit einem im Ruhezustand befindlichen Schwimmkörper.3 shows a side view of the children's choker with a floating body at rest.

Bezugnehmend auf Fig. 1 besteht ein Kinderhaisreif 1 aus einem Grundkörper 2, der am Hals des Kindes anliegt und mittels eines Verschlusses 3 offenbar und verschließbar ausgebildet ist, um den Kinderhaisreif anlegen bzw. abnehmen zu können. Selbstverständlich ist der Kinderhaisreif 1 , der auch als Kette ausgebildet sein kann oder als Halsband, in seinem Durchmesser verstellbar ausgebildet, um ihn an unterschiedliche Halsstärken anpassen zu können. An dem Grundkörper 2 sind zwei Abdeckungen 4 und 5 beweglich angeordnet, wobei in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel Scharniere 6 und 7 für die Beweglichkeit der Abdeckungen 4, 5.With reference to FIG. 1, a children's shark hoop 1 consists of a base body 2, which rests on the child's neck and is evidently and closable by means of a closure 3 in order to be able to put on or remove the children's shark hoop. Of course, the children's shark hoop 1, which can also be designed as a chain or as a collar, has an adjustable diameter so that it can be adapted to different neck thicknesses. Two covers 4 and 5 are arranged movably on the base body 2, hinges 6 and 7 for the mobility of the covers 4, 5 in this exemplary embodiment.

In dem Ausführungsbeispiel ist der aufblasbare Schwimmkörper 8 derart angeordnet, daß seine Entfaltung beim Aufblasen nach außen erfolgt, indem die beiden Abdeckungen 4, 5 sich ebenfalls nach außen bewegen und den Räum für den sich aufblasenden Schwimmkörper 8 freigeben. Der Grundkörper 2 des Kinderhaisreifes 1 ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel aus formstabilem Kunststoff hergestellt, so daß beim Aufblasen des Schwimmkörpers 8 vermieden wird, daß der Hals des Kindes durch diesen Aufblasvorgang nicht abgeschnürt wird. Dies ist ein wesentlicher Beitrag zu einer sicheren Verwendung des vorgeschlagenen Kinderhaisreifes 1. In dem Grundkörper 2, der auch aus anderen Materialien bestehen kann und auch schalenartig ausgebildet sein kann, kann darüber hinaus die erforderliche Elektronik für die Steuerung des Aufblasvorganges für den Schwimmkörper enthalten sein.In the exemplary embodiment, the inflatable float 8 is arranged in such a way that it unfolds when inflated to the outside by the two covers 4, 5 also moving outwards and releasing the space for the inflating float 8. The base body 2 of the children's shark hoop 1 is made of dimensionally stable plastic in this exemplary embodiment, so that when the floating body 8 is inflated it is avoided that the child's neck is not pinched off by this inflation process. This is an essential contribution to the safe use of the proposed children's shark hoop 1. In the base body 2, which can also consist of other materials and can also be designed like a shell, the electronics required for controlling the inflation process for the floating body can also be contained.

Ein wichtiger Aspekt des vorgeschlagenen Halsreifes ist, daß er aus sehr leichten Materialien hergestellt sein kann, um zum einen den Tragekomfort zu erhöhen und zum anderen, um einem Kind innerhalb des Wassers eine leichte Positionsstabilisierung zu ermöglichen. Die Abdeckungen 4, 5 verdecken zumindest großteils den darunter angeordneten Schwimmkörper 8, der in dem Ausführungsbeispiel im wesentlichen ein Luftkissen ist, das z. B. aus einer Kunststofffolie bestehen kann und dieser SchwimmkörperAn important aspect of the proposed collar is that it can be made of very light materials, on the one hand to increase the wearing comfort and on the other hand to enable a child to easily stabilize its position within the water. The covers 4, 5 at least largely cover the floating body 8 arranged underneath, which in the exemplary embodiment is essentially an air cushion which, for. B. can consist of a plastic film and this float

8 steht wiederum mit einem nicht dargestellten Gasvorratsbehälter in Verbindung.8 is in turn connected to a gas reservoir, not shown.

Zudem weist der Kinderhalsreif 1 einen Sensor 9 auf, der ein Aufblasen des Schwimmkörpers 8 bewirkt, wenn dieser SensorIn addition, the child's collar 1 has a sensor 9 which causes the floating body 8 to inflate when this sensor

9 eine vordefinierte Zeit in Kontakt mit Wasser oder sonstiger Flüssigkeit gerät. Der Sensor 9 kann daher z. B. spritzwasser- geschützt sein, um ein Auslösen lediglich beim Waschen oder beim Spielen im Planschbecken zu vermeiden oder der Sensor 9 kann z. B. mit einem Zeitmeßelement ausgestattet sein und erst dann die Auslösung des Schwimmkörpers bewirken, wenn der Sensor eine vorher definierte Zeit Kontakt mit Wasser hat.9 comes into contact with water or other liquid for a predefined time. The sensor 9 can therefore, for. B. be splash-proof to avoid triggering only when washing or playing in the paddling pool or the sensor 9 z. B. be equipped with a time measuring element and only then trigger the floating body when the sensor has a previously defined time contact with water.

In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Sensor 9 in einem Anhänger 10 angeordnet, der im vorderen Bereich des Kinderhals- reifes 1 vorgesehen ist, also in dem Bereich des Halsreifes, wo es darauf ankommt, daß der Kopf des Kindes über die Wasseroberfläche ragt. Der Sensor 9 kann selbstverständlich auch innerhalb des Kinderhaisreifes angeordnet sein, wenn dies z. B. aus optischen Gesichtspunkten gewünscht wird oder aber er kann irgendwo an dem Kind befestigt sein und z. B. über Drahtoder Funkverbindung mit dem Halsreif verbunden sein.In this exemplary embodiment, the sensor 9 is arranged in a trailer 10, which is provided in the front area of the child's collar 1, that is to say in the area of the collar where it is important that the child's head protrudes above the water surface. The sensor 9 can of course also be arranged within the children's shark hoop if this, for. B. is desired from an optical point of view or it can be attached to the child anywhere and z. B. be connected to the choker via wire or radio link.

In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung kann der Kinderhalsreif 1 auch mit einem akustischen Signalgeber und/oder einem optischen Signalgeber ausgestattet sein, um im Notfall das verunglückte Kind schneller auffinden zu können.In an advantageous embodiment, the child's collar 1 can also be equipped with an acoustic signal transmitter and / or an optical signal transmitter, in order to be able to find the accident victim more quickly in an emergency.

Sobald der Sensor eine Berührung mit dem Wasser mißt, die nach den Voreinstellungen auf einen Notfall schließen läßt, bewirkt der Sensor ein Signal, das zu einem Aufblasen des Schwimmkörpers 8 führt, der sich von seiner abgedeckten Ruhelage, die in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist, in seine aufgeblasene Rettungsposition aufbläst. Durch den Schwimmkörper, der sich möglichst unmittelbar unter dem Kinn bzw. Gaumenbereich des Kindes befindet, wird sichergestellt, daß Mund und Nase des Kindes oberhalb der Wasseroberfläche positioniert werden.As soon as the sensor measures a contact with the water, which according to the default settings suggests an emergency, the sensor produces a signal which causes the inflation of the Floats 8 leads, which inflates from its covered rest position, which is shown in Fig. 3, in its inflated rescue position. The floating body, which is as close as possible to the child's chin or palate area, ensures that the child's mouth and nose are positioned above the surface of the water.

Der akustische und/oder optische Signalgeber kann ebenfalls an einem Anhänger an dem Halsreif angeordnet sein, wobei dieser Anhänger vorteilhafterweise schwimmfähig ausgebildet sein sollte, so daß, selbst wenn sich Teile des Halsreifes unter Wasser befinden, stets sichergestellt ist, daß das Warnsignal oberhalb der Wasseroberfläche abgegeben wird.The acoustic and / or visual signal generator can also be arranged on a trailer on the choker, this trailer should advantageously be designed to be floatable, so that even if parts of the choker are under water, it is always ensured that the warning signal is above the water surface is delivered.

Die Energieversorgung für den Sensor 9 bzw. das Auslösen des Aufblasvorganges des Schwimmkörpers 8 kann beispielsweise über wiederaufladbare Batterien od. dgl. erfolgen. The energy supply for the sensor 9 or the triggering of the inflating process of the floating body 8 can take place, for example, via rechargeable batteries or the like.
