Abstract (en)
A substantially hollow belt (10) is able to be filled with a compressed gas from a cartridge (22) coupled with it and actuable by a pin controlled by a pulling open of a belt buckle (26) or by a pulling on an included lanyard (24). A portion of this first belt is secured in overlapping relationship so as to unfold and expand outwardly under action of the compressed gas which fills it. A second belt (30) underlies the first belt (10) and is attached thereto by a tether (55). The length of the first belt is increased when filled with the compressed gas, thereby forming a tube riding under the armpits in holding a wearer vertically in the water while the tether prevents the tube thus formed from slipping over the shoulders and head of the wearer. <IMAGE>
