  • Patent number: 10926850
    Abstract: A ventilated life jacket is an apparatus that facilitates airflow through the vest. The apparatus includes a vest, a first buoyant foam layer, a second buoyant foam layer, at least one first ventilation track, at least one second ventilation track, and a plurality of harnesses. The vest further includes a first panel and a second panel. The first panel houses the first buoyant foam layer. Similarly, the second panel houses the second buoyant foam layer. The at least one first ventilation track and the at least one second ventilation track traverses through and across the first buoyant foam layer and the second buoyant foam layer, respectively, for increased airflow. The plurality of harnesses secures the vest around a user. The at least one first ventilation track and the at least one second ventilation track may be a series of holes or a continuous slot.

  • Patent number: 7185600
    Abstract: The inflatable kayak includes an inflatable peripheral structure defining at least one buoyancy chamber having elongated side sections that come together at a fore section and a aft section to form a passenger compartment. An inflatable floor cushion supports a floor of the passenger compartment. The floor cushion includes a top wall, a bottom wall, and at least one side gusset. The surface area of the top wall is less than the surface area of the bottom wall. A plurality of elongated, I-beam baffles extends between the top wall and the bottom wall. Each I-beam baffle has a midpoint, between the fore section and aft section, and an end, wherein the height of at least one I-beams baffle measured from the junction of the top wall to the junction of the bottom wall is greater at the midpoint of the baffle than at the end of the baffle.
