Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for triggering an opening device, which is located together with a rescue device in a casing under vacuum and which opens the casing by pulling a first traction element enclosed by the casing, a second traction element extending outside the casing being provided.
- the first pulling element extends in a tubular extension of the casing and is provided or connected with a thickening at its point remote from the opening device, the cross-sectional area of which is perpendicular to the direction of extension of the first pulling element is substantially larger than that of the first pulling element, and in which around the first tension element between the opening device and the thickening, including the tubular extension of the casing, the second tension element is placed with a loop, the cross-sectional area of which is larger than that of the first tension element and smaller than that of the ver thickening.
- the rescue device If the rescue device is to be used, pull a pulling element.
- the covering In the case of the parachute, the covering is torn open at a predetermined breaking point, so that the covering fills with air, the parachute takes on a loose packing and can therefore be pulled out of the covering. Of course, this pulling out can also take place automatically, for example when dropping loads from aircraft.
- the valve of the compressed gas cylinder is actuated with the aid of a pulling element which can be gripped from outside the casing. When the rescue device is inflated, the envelope bursts as a result of the pressure and thus releases the rescue device.
- the pulling element on which a person has to pull or on which a pull is exerted by an external device part normally consists of a rope, wire or the like of sufficient length.
- This tension element is expediently provided outside the casing.
- the object of the invention is to improve the device of the said patent so that the opening device can be operated more easily.
- the solution according to the invention is that the device has an additional device for releasing the vacuum by damaging the envelope, which becomes effective when the second pulling element is actuated.
- the vacuum was released by pulling on the second pulling element, by tearing the envelope (e.g. with a parachute), or by pulling the valve of a compressed gas bottle, so that the rescue device was inflated, causing the envelope to burst .
- an additional device is only actuated when the second pulling element is actuated, so that the vacuum is eliminated. It can then be the second tension element without great force t effort to be pulled so that the entire envelope, which is no longer so rigid, tears with a parachute.
- the additional device according to the invention is particularly expedient in the case of inflatable rescue devices, in particular if the tubular attachment has a gathering, since after actuation of the additional device and removal of the vacuum, practically only the force that is required to actuate the valve of the compressed gas bottle has to be applied.
- the additional device expediently takes effect before the full tensile force is reached on the first tension element.
- a particularly simple structure is characterized in that the additional device has a further tension element which is connected to the second, the effective length between the connection point of the tension elements and the point of application on the casing for the further tension element being smaller than for the second.
- the further tension element can be arranged, for example, at a point on the film where only two layers of this film lie one above the other, so that only one force has to be applied to tear the double film and not the much greater force that would have to be applied in the area of the gathering to tighten the slide here.
- the covering can be torn more easily if the further tension element is connected to the covering near a predetermined breaking point thereof.
- an embodiment is particularly advantageous in which a gag-shaped element is arranged on the side of the thickening that is remote from the first pulling element and is likewise enclosed by the covering, the covering between the thickening and gag-shaped element being formed contiguously on only one side and the space are connected to each other for the gag with the space for the thickening, and wherein the further tension element wraps around the gag-shaped element between two lateral beads.
- the additional tension element is securely connected to the release device for the first time. Since the covering between the thickening and the gag-shaped element is only coherent on one side, a leverage occurs so that the force required to tear the covering is less here. Finally, the covering between the thickening and the gag-shaped element cannot lie flat on one another so that the effect cannot occur that two opposite surfaces of the covering lie flat on one another in the vicinity of the location of the damage, so that air only very slowly enters the covering can penetrate. Rather, in this embodiment, the covering is torn open at a point where no surfaces lie flat on one another, so that the air can flow into the covering very quickly, so that the vacuum quickly disappears.
- the thickening is formed in two parts, a first part of the thickening being connected to the first tension element.
- a second part of the thickening is arranged on the first part essentially displaceably in the actuating direction, spring-loaded to the first tension element and provided with a tip or cutting edge which pierces or cuts through the casing against the spring force when the second part is displaced.
- the second pulling element in this embodiment, you do not initially pull the entire thickening outwards, but only the second, movable part, which is moved in relation to the first part, until the tip or cutting edge pierces or cuts through the covering, as a result of which the vacuum is released.
- the tip or cutting edge is provided with superficial grooves or the like so that the sheathing cannot lie flat against the surface of the tip or cutting edge again, so that the air can only flow in slowly.
- the object of the invention is to improve the device of the main patent so that the opening device can be operated more easily.
- the second outer traction element is in many cases expedient, especially if it is to be attached somewhere (for example on the ship), that the rescue device is automatically activated when it is thrown into the water, for example. But if you want to pull this second outer tension element by hand, the rope or wire cuts into your hand.
- the first traction element extending in a tubular extension of the casing and is provided or connected at its point remote from the opening device with a thickening
- the cross-sectional area arranged perpendicular to the direction of extension of the first tension element is substantially larger than that of the first tension element (DE-PS 33 41 164.6)
- the task of easier actuation according to a second Embodiment (claim 7) solved in that the thickening is designed as a handle and that its cross-sectional area arranged perpendicular to the direction of extension of the first tension element is substantially larger than that of the tubular extension and that the device is an additional device to break the vacuum by damaging the envelope.
- the triggering is facilitated in that an additional device is provided for lifting the vacuum by damaging the casing.
- the mode of operation is similar to that already described above in connection with a second tension element, so that further explanations are not necessary for this.
- the additional device can have a further pulling element which is pulled before the opening device is triggered with the aid of the handle.
- the additional tension element can be connected to the sheathing in the vicinity of a predetermined breaking point.
- the handle can also be made for the handle to have a device for damage to the casing which can be actuated from outside the casing.
- a separate button or the like can be provided in the handle, which is first pressed, in which case a tip or cutting edge sticks into the covering, so that the latter is damaged and the vacuum is released.
- the handle is constructed in two parts, a first part of the handle being connected to the first pull element and a second part of the same being arranged on the first part essentially displaceably in the actuating direction, spring-loaded to the first pull element and with a tip or Is provided cutting that pierces or cuts through the casing against displacement of the second part against the spring force.
- the invention thus achieves that the vacuum is first released with a relatively low actuating force, so that the total actuating force required is very much less than was previously the case.
- two pull cables 2, 3 for a valve 4 of a compressed gas bottle and a connecting cable 5 are connected to a thickening 1, which leads to the rescue device, not shown. These parts are surrounded by a flexible envelope 6, which is evacuated. Between the main part of the Umnüiiung 6, in which the rescue device is located, and the thickening 1, the sheath 6 has a gathering 7, around which a loop 8 of an outer pull rope 9 is looped.
- a gag-shaped element 10 is now arranged in the covering 6 on the side of the thickening 1, which faces away from the side with the inner traction cables 2, 3.
- the sheathing between thickening 1 and gag-shaped element 10 has a substantially wedge-shaped incision 11, which extends over most of the length of the gag-shaped element 10, so that a thinner, further pull cable 13 is looped around the thinner central part 12 of the gag-shaped element that is knotted there, for example with a weaving stitch with two half-folds.
- the entire arrangement of the casing 6 in this area is such that the casing is vacuum-tight everywhere, including in the area of the recess 11.
- the spaces for gags and thickening within the envelope 6 are connected to each other.
- the other end of the additional traction cable 13 is fastened to the second traction element 9 in such a way that when the traction element 9 is pulled, only the further traction element 13 is tightened.
- the gag-shaped element 10 is then pivoted clockwise in the illustration in FIG. 1.
- a side thickening 14 that in the area opposite the recess 11
- the film 6 in this area at the end of the recess 11 with the aid of Leverage is torn. Since the knob-shaped element 10 and the thickening 1 have a corresponding thickness, the covering cannot lie on one another at the point of their damage, so that the air can flow in unhindered.
- the covering 6, in particular the gathering 7, ceases to be a rigid structure, so that no great tensile force is required to pull the gathering 7 apart and to actuate the valve 4.
- the thickening consists of two parts. On the first part 1a at 15, the inner pull cables 2 and 3 and that Connection rope 5, not shown, attached.
- a second part 1b of the thickening slidably sits on a tapered central section 16 of the first part 1a of the thickening, which has essentially flat side walls.
- the first part 1a and second part 1 are spring-loaded in the direction of possible displacement away from each other.
- On the second part 1b there is also a tip 17 which is pushed upwards by a channel 18 in the first part 1a in FIG. 2 when the second part 1 is pressed upwards. If one now pulls on the outer tension element 9, a force directed upwards in FIG. 2 is exerted on the movable second part 1b.
- This part 1 b is thereby moved upwards relative to the first part 1 a, so that the tip 17 is pressed upward by the channel 18 until it breaks the envelope 6 there, so that air can penetrate here.
- the penetration can be facilitated by appropriate training of the tip or a corresponding cutting edge.
- the entire envelope fills with air, as in the previously described embodiment, so that the gathering 7 can be easily separated and the valve 4 can be actuated easily.
- other types of guiding the second part 1b on the first part 1a are also possible, for example on pins, in which case the springs on these pins in particular can sit between the two parts.
- Fig. 3 shows an embodiment in which the thickening 1 is designed as a handle. Since the handle has a larger cross-sectional area than the gathering 7, you can touch and pull directly on the thickening or handle 1 in order to actuate the valve 4.
- an additional device for destroying the vacuum is again provided.
- the handle is formed in two parts. If you want to open the valve 4 and pulls accordingly on the handle 1a, 1b, the movable part 1 of the handle is pulled away from the valve 4 against a spring force, as a result of which the knife or cutting edge 17 sticks into the sheath 6, so that the vacuum will be annulled. Then the gathering can then be tightened slightly, the valve 4 then being actuated during this movement outward via the pulling cables 2, 3.
