A magnetic lanyard safety device for marine helm stations that uses dual magnets as both a mechanical fastener and proximity sensor for engine ignition cutoff.

Patentradars sammanfattning

This invention relates to a lanyard safety device designed for marine helm stations, comprising a base part with a socket housing a mechanical fastening mechanism and first magnet, paired with a plug part containing a second magnet within a projection. The plug part is releasably maintained in the base by magnetic attraction between the magnets, which simultaneously functions as a proximity sensor. The magnetic fastening mechanism enables automatic engine shutdown if the operator becomes separated from the helm, a critical safety feature in marine applications.
