A safety capsule structure comprising semi-cylindrical half-sections provided with yieldable and buoyant lining secured on the inner periphery thereof, the half-sections being adapted for installation in a boat hull, or the like, for stabilization of the boat structure against capsizing and to provide a flotation force for the boat, the half-sections being further adapted to be secured together along a common longitudinal side edge to provide alternate open and closed positions with respect to a pair of the half-sections, the closed position of the half-sections providing a protective capsule for an occupant for protection of the occupant during hazardous ambient conditions, such as a tornado, or the like. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention contemplates a novel protective capsule for encasing a human body during times of imminent danger, or the like, and which has been particularly designed and constructed for overcoming the foregoing disadvantages.
The novel capsule is essentially a sectional capsule or tubelike container wherein one may fasten himself in one-half by suitable straps, belts, or the like, and close the other half over him.
The two half-sections may be latched together in this body encasing position.
The outer or inner periphery of the capsule is provided with roll bar-type elements in order to protect the person encased therein as the entire capsule might be tossed about the terrain during a storm, or the like.
In addition, the inner periphery of the capsule is lined with a buoyant yieldable material for protecting the person against injury during use of the device, and whereby the entire capsule and contents will float on the surface of a body of water in the event the capsule is deposited in a body of water, or the like.
The novel capsule may also be constructed in the form of a simple boat, if desired, wherein preferably two of the half-sections of the boat-capsule may be utilized together for encasing the body of the occupant or occupants of the device.
The novel protective capsule is simple and efficient in operation and economical and durable in construction.
