A portable safety vest (20) includes an inflatable collar (22) which functions as a personal floatation device, a transparent, inflatable air bag (50), and an air mask (60). A cylinder of compressed air (40) has a seal (41) and, when the seal (41) is broken by a triggering mechanism (42, 43, 44), the compressed air expands and fills the air bag (50) and the collar (22). The air bag (50) is preferably large enough to hold at least a two-minute supply of air to allow one time to escape from an area filled with smoke or noxious or toxic gas.
A safety device (10) for a water dispenser (1) includes a safety tube (20), a cap (30), and an attachment strap (40) for attaching the safety tube (20) to the spigot (3) of the water dispenser (1). The dispensing button (4) is received in the interior (26) of the safety tube (20), with the wall (27) of the safty tube (20) surrounding the dispensing button (4) of the water dispenser (1). The cap (30) snaps onto a locking ridge (29) on the tube (20) to prevent access to the dispensing button (4) from above. When the cap (30) is properly fitted on the tube (20), the locking ridge (31) and the locking tab (32) on the safety cap (30) are received in the snap groove (28) of safety tube 20. When properly fitted on the spigot (3) of a water dispenser (1), the safety device (10) prevents small children from dispensing water from the water bottle (2) via the dispensing outlet (7) of the spigot (3). The cap (30) can be removed from the safety tube (20) only when the locking tab (32) of the cap (30) is aligned with the opening (60) in the locking ridge (29) on the tube (20).
