  • Lanyard and personal emergency transmitter system
    Patent number: 9386829
    Abstract: A lanyard device (5) comprises a first cord (10) coupled to a first and second coupling means (20, 30) which can be detachably coupled. The first cord is arranged in a loop that can be worn around a user's (200) neck. The first and second coupling means realize a safety release feature that minimize the risk of strangulation by opening the loop when a predetermined force acts on the first cord. The lanyard device further comprises a retention feature that keeps a communication device (110) attached to the lanyard device in the vicinity of the user in case the release feature is activated. The retention feature may be realized by a second cord (40) which is also coupled to the first and second coupling means.
