Abstract

This invention reveals a collar life preserver for water sports or similar that includes a compressed inflatable life preserver ( 1 ), a cartridge ( 2 ) that is filled with CO2, a solenoid valve ( 3 ) in connection with the cartridge ( 2 ), a discharge valve ( 4 ), a sensor ( 5 ) associated with a microprocessor ( 6 ) programmed with an algorithm and emission/reception means between the valve ( 3 ) and the microprocessor ( 6 ). The inflatable collar ( 1 ) presents a sensor ( 5 ) associated with the microprocessor ( 6 ) programmed with an algorithm that constantly receives information of the user's body functions and is capable of determining when the user is unconscious.

Claims (7)

1. Collar life preserver for water sports that include a compressed inflatable life preserver ( 1 ), a cartridge ( 2 ) that is filled with CO2, a solenoid valve ( 3 ) in connection with the cartridge ( 2 ), a discharge valve ( 4 ), a sensor ( 5 ) associated with a microprocessor ( 6 ) programmed with an algorithm and emission/reception means between the valve ( 3 ) and the microprocessor ( 6 ), where the cartridge ( 2 ) can be recharged after each use, the sensor ( 5 ) associated with the microprocessor ( 6 ) is programmed with an algorithm that constantly receives information of the user's body functions and by means of predetermined values knows when the user is unconscious, the microprocessor ( 6 ) sends a signal to the solenoid valve ( 3 ) of the CO2 cartridge ( 2 ) for its automatic filling and there is a cord to manually activate the CO2 cartridge; wherein the sensor ( 5 ) includes

a pulse oximeter that detects a low level of oxygen saturation in the blood,

a cardiac sensor that detects an altered heart rate,

a movement sensor and a sensor that captures muscle contractions.

2. The collar life preserver according to claim 1 , in which the sensor ( 5 ) includes a depth sensor.

3. The collar life preserver according to claim 1 where the sensor ( 5 ) includes a sensor capable of sending external radio signals capable of being captured by life guards or emergency services.

4. The collar life preserver according to claim 1 where the CO2 cartridge can be replaced by any other means of gas generation, for example decompression of a solid by heat.
