Abstract:
Provided is a snorkel having a whistler. In one embodiment, the whistler is mounted on a breathing tube. A swimmer wearing the snorkel may seize the whistler by the mouth prior to making a clear, shrill sound by activating the whistler.
Abstract:
An aquatic rescue apparatus including a base, housing connected to the base which includes at least one alarm mechanism contained therein, a triggering mechanism positioned on the housing and connected to the alarm mechanism, and a flotation device releasably connected to the triggering mechanism. Upon the flotation device being removed from the triggering mechanism, at least one alarm mechanism emits an alarm signal indicative of an aquatic emergency.
Abstract:
A combination marine horn and bow light is provided. According to the invention, a single unit houses a bow light assembly affixed to a housing which contains a sound emitting portion of the horn. The bow light and sound emitting portion of the horn are preferably mounted on the top surface of a boat bow deck. The horn is installed below the bow deck surface. The entire unit is powered by a single electrical supply. Alternatively, separate bow light and horn units may be affixed to the deck or hull sidewalls. In this embodiment, each bow light would have a separate colored lens cover. In a further embodiment, for either deck or sidewall mounting, the light and horn combination, including the sound emitting and sound producing portions, are all mounted on the exterior of the vessel.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an anchor alarm device which is a manually deployed weighted device attached to or near the anchor which signals to device equipment at water-level. The device detects the movement of, or physical force generated by, a dislodged anchor. When deployed, a component of the anchor alarm device rests adjacent to or as part of a seated anchor at a distance predetermined by the tolerance of the secondary rode. The secondary rode connects the device directly to the anchor, or near the anchor on the primary rode. Upon displacement of the set anchor, in excess of the secondary rode, the device alerts the user. The device utilizes sensor monitoring inside of a housing component to detect a force indicative of anchor displacement. This detection triggers a signals emission which alerts the user of the change in position. In cases wherein the anchor is not immediately retrieved, device re-arms autonomously and stops emission of the alarm signal until the next anchor displacement. The system communicates with signal devices on board or deployed near the anchoring vessel in order to alert the user.
Abstract:
A boomerang shaped wave rider board, specifically designed to be used by children and young adolescents in the whitewater portion of a breaking wave is disclosed. The board has a pair of elastic connectors on each side to enable two or more boards to be connected in parallel so that riders can ride in tandem. The board also has a remote signaling device so that a person on shore can signal to a rider in the water.
Abstract:
An apparatus provides a warning of propeller rotation or CO/CO2 hazard in a marine craft and includes a sensor in communication with the propeller to directly or indirectly sense rotation of the propeller and to generate a signal in response to the hazard, a controller coupled to the sensor to process the signal from the sensor, and a sensory alarm coupled to the controller to generate a warning alarm signal when the sensor returns a signal indicative of a predetermined state of hazard, namely actual rotation of the propeller from a nonzero rpm to a user or factory defined rpm or CO/CO2 levels at or above a predetermined maximum.
