Avalanche Survival Vest
US Patent:
4365628, Dec 28, 1982
Filed:
Jul 28, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/173127
Inventors:
Carl F. Hodel - Honolulu HI
International Classification:
A62B 702
US Classification:
12820512
Abstract:
This invention, the snow avalanche survival vest consists of a vest to be worn around the chest by skiers, and mountaineers. It is designed to provide oxygen to breath and to serve as a flotation device to help victims survive if caught in an avalanche. The vest has a CO. sub. 2 absorber chamber, a mouthpiece breathing hose, and a compressed oxygen cartridge which can be released instantly by biting hard on the mouthpiece hose or pushing a button on the mouthpiece hose. The vest has external air ports in the mouthpiece hose which allow breathing of external air until the O. sub. 2 cartridge is activated. Bite or pushbutton activation of the vest also seals the external air ports instantly. Thus, the victim of an avalanche can breath oxygen while trapped under the snow and greatly increase his available rescue time.
