ABSTRACT:
A device is provided for the inflation of a floating body of a life jacket with pressure gas from a pressure gas container sealed with a diaphragm. The pressure gas container is screwed into a receiving aperture of a housing bore in a housing, and the gas content of the pressure gas container is released by opening the diaphragm with the aid of an opening striker disposed in the housing, which, by means of a hand lever, can be moved against the diaphragm. The opening striker is retained in its initial position with the aid of a spring. The housing bore communicates with a branch duct, wherein a non-return valve is disposed, while the branch duct terminates within the region of a life jacket connecting piece for supplying the gas content of the pressure gas container to the floating body on the housing outer surface with a gas outlet orifice. The housing can be fabricated in a single manufacturing process and is of one-piece construction.
