发明名称 Power boat emergency floatation device
摘要 A power boat emergency floatation device deploys from a power boat to inhibit sinking of the power boat. The device includes a boat having a hull. The hull has an upper edge extending around the boat. Each of a plurality of cavities extends into the hull of the boat. The cavities are positioned in spaced arrangement around the hull of the boat. Each of a plurality of inflatable bladders is positioned in an associated one of the cavities. Each inflatable bladder is coupled to the hull of the boat and is selectively inflatable wherein the inflatable bladders inhibit sinking of the boat when the inflatable bladders are inflated and extended from the hull. A trigger mechanism is operationally coupled to each inflatable bladder wherein actuation of the trigger mechanism deploys each inflatable bladder from the associated cavity and inflates each inflatable bladder.

主权项 1. A power boat emergency floatation device comprising: a boat having a hull, said hull having an upper edge extending around said boat; a plurality of cavities, each cavity extending into said hull of said boat, said cavities being positioned in spaced arrangement around said hull of said boat; a plurality of inflatable bladders, each said inflatable bladder being positioned in an associated one of said cavities, each said inflatable bladder being coupled to said hull of said boat, each said inflatable bladder being selectively inflatable wherein said inflatable bladders inhibit sinking of the boat when said inflatable bladders are inflated and extended from said hull; and a trigger mechanism, said trigger mechanism being operationally coupled to each said inflatable bladder wherein actuation of said trigger mechanism deploys each said inflatable bladder from said associated cavity and inflates each said inflatable bladder, said trigger mechanism comprising a float switch positioned on said boat such that said float switch is positioned to be actuated by water collecting within said boat whereby said each said inflatable bladder is deployed upon detection of water collecting in said boat by said float switch, said trigger mechanism comprising an electrical short detector operationally coupled to an electrical system of said boat wherein said electrical short detector is actuated by detection of a short in the electrical system of the boat.
