Samuel Jasper Coole, Coleford, Gloucester, Ironmonger, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :— My invention consists in the construction of an air-tight belt which may 1)3 inflated with air, when required for the purpose of keeping a person afloat and is carried out 5 in the following manner. I construct of any suitable airtight material a circular belt, forming an airtight receptacle which is inflated writh air, by means of a mouth piece, containing a valve, attached to a flexible piece of tubing. I attache two loops to the said belt for the purpose of putting the arms through. 10 The working is as follows, w’hen the belt is required to be used it is inflated by blowing into the mouth-piece and when it has been inflated sufficiently, the valve is closed and the air is thus retained in the belt and it will then support weight, in the water, acting as a cork life-belt.
