  • Patent number: 9371120
    Abstract: A flotation assistance belt is configured to fit beneath arms of a human user in order to provide buoyancy to the human user in water. The flotation assistance belt includes a belt mechanically coupled to a female fastener and a male fastener. A flotation tube is partially surrounding the belt and configured to bend forming a circle without plastic deformation while having the tensile strength to resist this bending causing the flotation tube to expand outward slightly when the female fastener and the male fastener are connected. Connecting the female fastener to the male fastener forms a circle configured to fit beneath the arms of the human user in order to provide the buoyancy to the human user in the water.
