Harness assembly having a deployable inflatable life raft attached thereto

1. A wearable life raft harness comprising:

a harness assembly constructed and arranged to be secured to a human body, said harness assembly including a waist strap having sufficient length to reach around a mid-section of said human body;

a flexible pouch removably attached to said harness assembly and having an interior compartment and a top opening;

an inflatable life raft disposed within said interior compartment of said pouch, said inflatable raft in a deflated state within said interior compartment, whereby said raft is adapted to be inflated when removed from said interior compartment, said raft including a canister filled with a sufficient quantity of pressurized gas to inflate said raft, a release cord having a first end attached to said life raft and a second end exposed from said pouch so that pulling said release cord releases said raft from said interior compartment and triggers inflation of said life raft by causing a pin to puncture said canister, said raft having a first end and a second end one of said ends being constructed to contain a larger volume of said pressurized gas than the other; and

an elongated tether cord having a first end attached to said life raft and a second end attached to said harness.

2. The wearable life raft harness of claim 1 , wherein said harness assembly includes a back portion, a frontal left panel section, and frontal right panel section integrally joined with one another, said frontal left panel section and said frontal right panel section including a fastener for coupling each together and forming a neck opening.

3. The wearable life raft harness of claim 2 , wherein said back portion, said frontal left panel section, and said frontal right panel section are comprised of air chambers in fluid communication with one another.

4. The wearable life raft harness of claim 3 , wherein said air chambers are inflatable.

5. The wearable life raft harness of claim 2 , wherein said waist strap is attached to a bottom end of said frontal left panel section and said frontal right panel section.

6. The wearable life raft harness of claim 5 , wherein said pouch is positioned thereinbetween said bottom end of said frontal left and right panel sections and said waist band.

7. The wearable life raft harness of claim 1 , wherein said life raft includes a plurality of flexible reflectors and handles.

8. The wearable life raft harness of claim 1 , wherein said life raft includes a dragging implement attached thereto, whereby said dragging implement is deployed when said raft is in an inflated state to prevent said raft from following ocean currents.

9. The wearable life raft harness of claim 1 , wherein said harness assembly and said life raft is fabricated from a resilient water-resistant material.

10. The wearable life raft harness of claim 1 , wherein said pouch is separable from said harness assembly to be hand carried.

11. The wearable life raft harness of claim 1 , wherein pulling said release cord causes said canister to release carbon dioxide within said life raft.

12. The wearable life raft harness of claim 11 , wherein said life raft includes a manual one way inflation valve, said manual one way inflation valve is comprised of a pivoting stem and a mouth piece, whereby said life raft can be manually inflated when removed from said pouch.
