Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Inbetriebnahme von Rettungsinseln durch Aufblähen, wobei die Rettungsinsel einen das Cockpit umschliessenden, aufblähbaren Grundkörper (1,2) und zwei oder mehrerer (8,9), zumindest im wesentlichen einander paralelle, den Grundkörper (1,2) übergreifende, im wesentlichen bogenförmige, aufblähbare Stützen (8,9) für die Dachhaut (11) aufweist. Damit überkommendes Wasser sich nicht ansammeln und ein Aufrichten des Daches (11) behindern kann, wird erfindungsgemäss zunächst eine Stütze (8) so weit aufgebläht, dass sie zumindest im wesentlichen formsteif ist, worauf die anderen Stützen (9) derart aufgebläht werden, dass auch sie mit zeitlicher Verzögerung formsteif und tragfähig werden.

Figure 00000001
The invention relates to a method for starting life rafts by inflating, the life raft comprising an inflatable base body (1, 2) surrounding the cockpit and two or more (8, 9), at least essentially parallel to one another, the base body (1, 2). overlapping, essentially arcuate, inflatable supports (8,9) for the roof skin (11). So that overcoming water cannot accumulate and hinder the erection of the roof (11), according to the invention a support (8) is first inflated to such an extent that it is at least essentially dimensionally stable, whereupon the other supports (9) are inflated in such a way that also they become dimensionally stable and stable with a time lag.
