Description

Backpack with protection system against emergency situations.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a backpack with emergency protection system, which provides essential novelty features and notable advantages in relationship with the means used for the same purposes in the Current state of the art.

More particularly, the present invention proposes the development and construction of a backpack designed so that It has a system capable of issuing notices of various modes, in the case where a user is in a state of emergency. The backpack is especially suitable for your use in mountainous places, in the event of possible snow avalanches, at sea, etc., presenting some volume and weight characteristics that allow easy manipulation of it, while also having the usual space in this type of articles for the user can carry your personal belongings, food, etc.

The scope of the invention is is included within the industrial sector dedicated to the manufacture of special equipment for situations of emergency.

Background and summary of the invention

The hobby is known to everyone in general practiced by a large number of people to meet the natural means, materialized by making trips to mountainous places where you can practice different activities leisure and / or sports, such as hunting, mountaineering, hiking, skiing and others, as well as other activities related to the hobby of navigating the sea, rivers, etc. TO sometimes it happens that fans of these practices are seen involved in certain setbacks arising from the environment in the that develop, and that among many other causes, can be due to the adverse weather conditions themselves that fans voluntarily expose themselves for their Own sports and personal challenges. All this makes, in certain occasions and under certain circumstances, the people who practice these hobbies lose their way when transit through certain mountainous places, or also, in time winter, for example, can be swallowed by avalanches or snow avalanches, or that in the case of marine sports or practices in this environment, can drift, suffer a ship wreck, etc. Given these types of situations,  presents the need to ask for help and notify the new situation, so that, in many cases, the current media does not they allow help to arrive on time to the place where the accident or setback has occurred. In a high percentage of cases, because these fans do not have the elements or means sufficient to emit signals and / or warnings that specify the exact place where they are, they occur situations that involve risks, high economic expenses and very long search times, which can cause do not arrive on time and the situation results in a tragedy personal.

As a means of relief against possible communication and control, such as, for example, GPS systems (Global Positioning System) or GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), which can transmit data and information about the coordinates of any place with great accuracy, both through an SMS service (Service Short Messages) to a default phone, or even to a computer equipped with the appropriate means and with a program configured for this purpose. The size reached by said elements, due to the advances that technology has current, adapted to the proposed invention, are of Incalculable benefit to take advantage of logical systems free as is the case of GOOGLE MAP, EARTH, or other usual ones, sending an empty SMS to the Personal Tracker (Personal Computer Tracker), which can respond with configured coordinates, for reception at the aid station  closest or in charge of the area where the accident occurs.

Distress request signals with the help of the aforementioned media, can be activated automatically by pressing a key, for example of type TR2, which would make an open call to a number registered with anteriority.

The protection system conceived by the invention for incorporation in backpacks, also has the inclusion of means likely to be inflated in case of need, specifically when the person in need of help found in the water, so that the backpack does in that case the lifeguard or float function. Also, in front of avalanches of snows that can engulf a person, driving a sensitive contact button, positioned for example at the height of the chest and associated with any of the backpack's fastening straps, will cause the automatic expulsion of a balloon, for example of type fluorescent, which inflates and remains on the surface, which remains connected to the injured person through a tube  flexible of predetermined length and diameter, provided by a end of a mask that can be placed on the face by the easily injured person, specifically covering the mouth and nose area, to be able to breathe while remaining swallowed by the avalanche. It should also be said that the invention has planned to attach to the globe a luminous device capable of emit signals from the place, for example in the form of flashes

Brief description of the drawings

These and other features and advantages of the invention, will become apparent from the description detailed that follows in a preferred embodiment, given only as an illustrative and non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which;

Figure 1 shows an overview schematic, in perspective, of the backpack proposed by the invention;

Figure 2 shows an elevation view of a section practiced in the backpack of figure 1 through the line A-A;

Figure 3 represents a schematic view in perspective of the backpack shown in figure 1, in which clearly observe the inflated balloon outside said backpack, and

Figure 4 illustrates the backpack of Figure 3 in the condition of inflated side bags for use as float.

Description of a preferred embodiment

As indicated above, the  detailed description of the backpack with protection system in emergency situations, it will be carried out in which continues with the help of the attached drawings, through the which the same numerical references are used to designate the same or similar parts.

Thus, attending first to Figure 1, You can see an overview of the backpack marked with the numerical reference 1, in which you can see the belts 2 of fastening, one of which is provided with a third strap 3 which serves as a link between the first two belts 2, arranged such way, that in its operational state it allows a releasable grip between pieces 4, 4 'ahead of the user's chest area,  and in the intermediate part it is provided with a device opening 5 capable of yielding to impact, so that when this last receives an impact, instantly sends a warning to a opening sensor 6 for the exit of the balloon 7 (visible in the Figure 2) while inflating, dragging the screen 8 digital for GPS reading, and a lamp or item luminous 9 that emits flashing light, arranged in the area top of backpack 1 and also attached to the top of the balloon, so that when the latter comes out the lamp 9 remains on the surface together with said balloon issuing warnings in the form of bright flashes Through the lower base, the balloon incorporates a kind of double layer or bottom 10 (figure 3) to constitute a tank capable of storing oxygen, provided with a valve 11 and connected to a breathing tube 12, which incorporates at the other end, a mask 13 easy to accommodate in the area of the nostrils to breathe through it in the face of emergency situations.

Figure 2 shows an elevation representation  corresponding to a carte made by the line A-A of Figure 1, balloon 7 being appreciable in inactive state, stored in a predetermined position attached to the flexible tube 12. It can also be seen in said figure 2 the space 14 that the backpack presents for food and other goods personal that the user wants to carry in it for the practice of the activity or sport to be performed.

In order to provide greater clarity to the this description is accompanied by the representation of figure 4,  in which you can see a view of the backpack proposed by the invention in its maximum operational state, with bags 15 inflated, protruding on both sides of the backpack, and with the lower base of said backpack deployed as a lifeguards, especially for use in situations Emergency in the water.

It is not considered necessary to make the content of this description for a subject matter expert can understand its scope and the advantages derived from the invention, as well as develop and implement the object of the same.

However, it should be understood that the invention has been described according to a preferred embodiment thereof, so which may be subject to modifications, especially to the form general, to the dimensions of the piece, and / or the materials of manufacture of the assembly or its parts provided that they comply with the subjection and security requirements imposed by the application to which they are intended.
