Abstract (en)

[origin: DE202006009859U1] An improved design life vest has a U-shape (1) made by edge seam (6) welding front and rear panels to fit around the neck with the two main sections (2, 3) lying on the breast of the wearer. The buoyancy is increased by extending volume flap inserts (8) which increase the turning force to turn a wearer onto the back when in water and bring the airways above water level.
