Life jacket and method for forming the same

Abstract

A life jacket according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: a cover forming a receiving compartment; a plurality of buoyant layers which are respectively formed of flexible buoyant material and are disposed in a laminated state within the receiving compartment; and a fixing member for connecting the buoyant layers to one another and is fixed to the cover.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A life jacket comprising:
 a cover forming a receiving compartment;   a plurality of buoyant layers which are respectively formed of flexible buoyant material and are disposed in a laminated state within the receiving compartment; and   a fixing member for connecting the buoyant layers to one another and is fixed to the cover.   
     
     
         2 . The life jacket of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of buoyant layers are fixed to the fixing member by sewing. 
     
     
         3 . The life jacket of  claim 1 , wherein the fixing member is fixed to the cover by sewing. 
     
     
         4 . The life jacket of  claim 1 , wherein the fixing member is formed to have a net type using fabric. 
     
     
         5 . The life jacket of  claim 4 , wherein the fixing member is formed to cover both sides of the plurality of laminated buoyant layers. 
     
     
         6 . The life jacket of  claim 4 , wherein the fixing member has a pocket shape and the plurality of laminated buoyant layers are inserted into the fixing member of the pocket shape. 
     
     
         7 . A method for forming a life jacket comprising:
 fixing a plurality of laminated buoyant layers to one another using a fixing member;   inserting the plurality of buoyant layers which are fixed by the fixing member into a receiving compartment which is formed by a cover of the life jacket; and   fixing the fixing member which is inserted into the receiving compartment with the cover.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the plurality of buoyant layers are fixed to the fixing member by sewing. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the fixing member is fixed to the cover by sewing. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the fixing member is formed to have a net type using fabric. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the fixing member is formed to cover both sides of the plurality of laminated buoyant layers. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the fixing member has a pocket shape and the plurality of laminated buoyant layers are inserted into the fixing member of the pocket shape.
