life preserver
Emergency flotation device
A life preserver is a buoyant device designed to keep a person afloat in water—typically a ring, vest, or jacket worn or thrown to someone in danger of drowning.
The term is more common in American English; British speakers often say life jacket or life belt.
Figuratively, anything that saves someone from a desperate situation: That loan was a life preserver for the business.
