les "coussins flottants" belong to the "bouées de sauvetage" (angl.: life preserver, bouée = buoy) ils peuvent être "des bouées couronne " OU des bouées fer de cheval"
Une bouée de sauvetage, peut etre remplacée par un équipement équivalent assurant la meme fonction (coussin ou engin flottant) jusqu'à 6 milles .......)

In my investigations I´ve also come across "Floating seaT cushions" which made me think of a typing error. They are equally termed life preservers. whether they are meant in the present context is of Course difficult to judge. the floating seat cushion is capable of emergency use as a life preserver. It comprises a center core of open cell polyurethane foam material surrounded by an outer layer of closed cell polyethylene foam material. A belt extends transversely adjacent to form a pair of loops which extend outwardly from opposite sides of the cushion.

agree  Sandra Mouton: Votre traduction est la bonne mais pas pour la bonne raison, je crois. Il ne s'agit pas d'une bouée mais bien d'un coussin qui se trouve flotter et pouvoir donc servir de bouée de fortune.

disagree  Sandra Mouton: Non, il s'agit d'un coussin (sur lequel poser son postérieur) qui en cas d'homme à la mer ou de naufrage peut servir d'aide à la flottaison
