摘要

A flotation apparatus having a first elongate member, a second elongate member, and a connector, such as an exterior housing, engaging the first and second elongate members and deforming the first elongate member into a curved shape. Ends of the first elongate member are positioned proximate to ends of the second elongate member to define gaps therebetween that permit movement of one or both elongate members relative to the other.

主权项

1. A flotation apparatus comprising:
a first elongate member having a first end and a second end; a second elongate member having a third end and a fourth end; a housing enclosing the first elongate member and the second elongate member and deforming the first elongate member into a curved shape, such that the first end is proximate to the third end and the second end is proximate to the fourth end, wherein a first gap is defined between the first end and the third end and a second gap is defined between the second end and the fourth end, and wherein the first gap and the second gap permit movement within the housing of at least one of the first elongate member and the second elongate member relative to the other of the first elongate member and the second elongate member and wherein the housing deforms the first elongate member, the second elongate member, or combinations thereof to provide the flotation apparatus with an enclosed shape having an interior, the flotation apparatus further comprising a harness attachment positioned within the interior and engaged with the housing, wherein the harness attachment comprises a width less than that of the interior of the flotation apparatus.
