INTELLIGENT INDIVIDUAL EQUIPMENT FOR PROTECTION DURING A FALL

摘要

The invention relates to an inflatable jacket (1) that can be adapted to the body of a worker and automatically inflates in the event of a fall of the worker from a height. The invention is based on a gas cylinder which is instantaneously opened and emptied as a result of the corresponding signal generated by a central electronic system also built into the jacket (1), said system receiving the information from a series of sensors arranged in the soles (3) of the footwear (6) of the worker, and a pulsometer (2) arranged on the thorax, when the worker's feet leave the ground due to a fall and the pulse of the worker increases. The equipment is completed with a high-quality anti-fall harness (14), which ensures the suspension of the worker in the air and prevents said worker from falling and hitting solid ground.
