Patent

CA 2710703

A warning system is provided, which is particularly useful as a person overboard warning system. The system comprises a trigger part, worn by a crew member, which emits a signal on immersion in water. This is received by a receiver part on the vessel and automatically causes a transmitter part, also on the vessel, to send a further warning signal to one or more other locations remote from the vessel. These remote locations may be other vessels or land based sites, for instance operated by the coastguard or other rescue agencies. The automatic nature of the onward transmission of the signal received by the vessel makes the system particularly suited to single handed sailors.

Système d'alerte particulièrement utile pour donner l'alerte quand une personne tombe à la mer. Ce système comprend un élément déclencheur, porté par un membre d'équipage, qui émet un signal en cas d'immersion. Celui-ci est reçu par un élément récepteur situé sur le bateau et amène automatiquement un élément émetteur, également présent sur le bateau, à envoyer un autre signal d'alerte à un ou à plusieurs autres sites distants du navire. Ces sites distants peuvent être d'autres bateaux ou des sites terrestres, occupés par exemple par des garde-côtes ou d'autres organisations de sauvetage. La nature automatique de la retransmission du signal reçu par le bateau fait que ce système convient particulièrement pour les navigateurs solitaires.
