Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2005035356A1] The breath-take diving life jacket (1) is provided with air bags (2 and 3) that, when inflated, keep the diver's head above the water surface. The life jacket inflates automatically, wherefore at beginning of the immersion the electronic device (8) detects increase of the outer pressure and activates itself. When the outer pressure falls below a certain value, the electronic device detects surfacing and automatically starts the countdown. At this moment the diver (15) is at the surface and, if conscious, he switches the countdown off by pressing the manual switch (12). If, after a certain period of time, the diver did not press the manual switch, the electronic device sounds alarm, lasting a few seconds, that warns the diver that he forgot to switch the timer off. If the diver still does not react, it is highly probably that he is unconscious, and the electronic device automatically activates the compressed air cylinder (7) that inflates the life jacket and positions the diver with his head (16) above the water surface (17).
