ABSTRACT:
An auto-inflated life buoy has a belt-like air bag and an air container. The belt-like air bag defines a hollow bag, and has tongue secured on the inside wall of one end and a groove secured on the inside wall of the other end. The air container secured on the outside wall of one end of the belt-like air bag includes an air inlet, an internal chamber and an inlet nozzle. The air inlet coupled to the belt-like air bag is in open communication with the internal chamber which has a press button on the top and a film on the bottom. The lower part of the press button is combined with a pressure spring. The improvement of the auto-inflated life buoy is that after a swimmer fastens the belt-like air bag on the waist by mounting the tongue to the groove and by attaching the back of the air container to the outside wall of the other end of the belt-like air bag with a set of blind fastener, the swimmer may push down the press button so that the lower part of the press button will break the film and the air container will immediate inflate the belt-like air bag with sufficient air through the air inlet.
