Personal floating system

Abstract

A personal anti-drowning system comprising an inflatable body suit and inflating means: the inflatable body suit being fabricated from a water and air resistant fabric wherein at least part of the inflatable body suit comprises air tight inflatable pockets.

1 . A personal anti-drowning system comprising an inflatable body suit and inflating means: said inflatable body suit being fabricated from a water and air resistant fabric wherein at least part of said inflatable body suit comprises air tight inflatable pockets. 
   
   
       2 . The personal anti-drowning system of  claim 1 , wherein said inflatable body suit separately encases distal body limbs, such that movement of arms and/or legs of person therein, causes corresponding movement of sleeves and/or leggings of the inflatable body suit. 
   
   
       3 . The personal anti-drowning system of  claim 1 , wherein a person therein is able to walk relatively unhindered when the body suit is not inflated. 
   
   
       4 . The personal anti-drowning system of  claim 1 , wherein a person therein is able to walk in said inflated body suit. 
   
   
       5 . The personal anti-drowning system of  claim 1 , wherein said body suit is closable by a zip. 
   
   
       6 . The personal anti-drowning system of  claim 1 , wherein said body suit includes a transparent canopy over face of person therein. 
   
   
       7 . The personal anti-drowning system of  claim 6 , wherein said transparent canopy is fabricated from a clear polymeric sheet. 
   
   
       8 . The personal anti-drowning system of  claim 6 , wherein said inflated body suit includes a snorkel, allowing person within said inflated body suit to breath air therethrough. 
   
   
       9 . The personal anti-drowning system of  claim 1 , wherein, due to gravity thereon, a person therein naturally assumes a face upward floating position. 
   
   
       10 . The personal anti-drowning system of  claim 1 , wherein said inflating means includes a blow tube for manual inflation of said airtight inflatable pockets thereby. 
   
   
       11 . The personal anti-drowning system of  claim 1 , wherein said inflating means includes a source of gas. 
   
   
       12 . The personal anti-drowning system of  claim 11 , wherein said source of gas is a compressed gas cylinder. 
   
   
       13 . The personal anti-drowning system of  claim 11 , wherein said source of gas is a dense chemical that reacts with water to release prodigious quantities of gas. 
   
   
       14 . The personal anti-drowning system of  claim 13 , wherein said dense chemical is selected from the list of solids and liquids. 
   
   
       15 . The personal anti-drowning system of  claim 1  further comprising an enhancement selected from the list of:
 (a) a catch for towing thereby;   (b) a dye means for dying water therearound;   (c) a shark repellant;   (d) a light source;   (e) a GPS;   (f) signal flares.   (g) emergency rations selected from the list comprising drinking water, vitamin supplements, food and mineral supplements;   (h) a dynamo;   (i) propulsion means;   (j) steering means;   (k) communication means;   (l) navigating means, and   (m) a snorkel.
