Definitions
- the invention relates to an avalanche rescue system, which has at least one inflatable buoyancy body connected to the body close to the user, a filling unit, a compressed gas unit with a compressed gas container and a triggering device.
- EP-PS 0123684 describes a device for rescuing people in avalanches with a tear-resistant balloon connected to the user via a body-hugging connection, which balloon is inflated during the rescue operation by means of compressed gas, so that it acts like a buoyancy body on the user Avalanche surface holds.
- This rescue device has a filling device to which one or more pressurized gas cylinders are connected and which is connected upstream of a nozzle arrangement which works according to the Venturi principle.
- the device described there has a rigid, cup-shaped housing that is connected to the user via straps. Ambient air is sucked in through the openings of the housing connected to the environment when the balloon is filled, so that the compressed gas bottle can have a correspondingly smaller volume.
- 096/35479 describes a rescue device which has two tear-resistant balloons which can be connected to the user via a body-hugging connection and which are inflated by compressed gas during the rescue operation.
- the filling device for connecting the balloon to the compressed gas container has a device for opening the compressed gas container.
- the pressurized gas container with filling device is connected to the user's body regardless of the balloon.
- the filling device is intended for a pure gas filling above the balloon.
- both devices described have to be strapped over an existing backpack using separate harnesses, so that if the access to the backpack is desired, the rescue device has to be put down, or that the filling device considerably increases when the rescue device is integrated into a backpack provided for this purpose Space requirements and the accessibility of the backpack difficult.
- pure gas filling there is also the increased weight of the compressed gas cylinders added, whereby both devices are bulky and reluctant to carry by the user.
- the avalanche rescue system has a filling unit which is arranged in a space-saving manner within the buoyancy body or the buoyancy bodies.
- this arrangement also has the advantage that the filling unit and the compressed gas unit can be arranged separately from one another, as a result of which the filling unit and the compressed gas unit can be spatially arranged so that they do not disturb the user. Furthermore, the filling unit is shielded from the user in this way, which prevents injuries to protruding parts.
- the compressed gas unit has, on the one hand, a connection to the release unit, which can be made, for example, by means of a compressed gas hose or cable or linkage, and connection options for the compressed gas lines to the filling units of the buoyancy bodies.
- the centerpiece of the compressed gas unit is the receptacle for the compressed gas bottle and the opening device for the closure of the compressed gas bottle.
- the compressed gas unit advantageously also has a fastening device for secure and firm attachment of the same in a designated place.
- the integration of the compressed gas unit with the compressed gas container in the back part of a backpack is particularly advantageous, where it is connected to the force-transmitting fibers of the backpack via tear-resistant straps.
- the power transmission from the buoyancy body via the backpack to the user takes place via the backpack harness, which is designed for the corresponding high loads that occur during an avalanche. This means that no additional harness is required, which makes use easier.
- the buoyancy body (s) are stowed in the backpack in such a way that when released, only a Velcro fastener has to be opened by the pressure of the buoyancy body (s) filling.
- the triggering device can advantageously be fastened to a carrying belt or can be guided forwardly integrated therein.
- the triggering device can be removed without tools from the triggering line which represents the connection to the compressed gas unit.
- the trigger handle provided as the trigger device can be connected to the trigger line via a quick coupling.
- the detachability of the triggering device makes it possible to avoid unwanted tripping or false tripping.
- the user of the system only docks the trigger handle when he goes into the appropriate area.
- the release handle is not docked beforehand, especially in the mountain railway, on the train, in the restaurant, in the bus or on the slopes. This prevents the system from being triggered.
- the triggering device can be secured against unintentional triggering, for example by means of a Velcro strip.
- the filling unit has an ejector nozzle.
- the compressed gas flows through this at high speed.
- an additional suction of ambient air is made possible during the filling process of the buoyancy body, which requires a smaller amount of compressed gas, whereby the weight of the avalanche rescue system can be considerably reduced. This contributes significantly to the comfort of the avalanche rescue system.
- ejector nozzle (250) is surrounded by a jacket (260) provided with holes (261), which produces a two-stage ejector effect.
- the filling unit integrated in the buoyancy body has a check valve connected to the environment.
- compressed gas first flows through the ejector nozzle into the buoyancy body and causes it to be pre-filled.
- the check valve is still closed.
- the buoyancy body is freed from the storage space and the negative pressure generated by the inflowing compressed gas causes the check valve to open.
- the ejector effect of the nozzle ensures that ambient air is constantly drawn in.
- the buoyancy body has a mixture of compressed gas and ambient air. For example, nitrogen can be used as the pressurized gas.
- An advantageous embodiment of the present invention provides that the filling unit has a vent valve for manual venting of the buoyancy body.
- the avalanche rescue system can be put back into an easily transportable state after use, i.e. the buoyancy bodies can be folded up again and placed in the storage compartments provided. It is advantageous if the vent valve is integrated in the check valve. This contributes to saving space and weight.
- An advantageous embodiment provides that a combined check and vent valve is arranged on the filling unit.
- the compressed gas unit advantageously has a device for opening the compressed gas container.
- This can be, for example, a needle for piercing the lid of the compressed gas container.
- the needle is designed such that it is pressed out of the pressurized gas container after the cover has been pierced or that the pressurized gas can flow around or through it.
- the corresponding opening device can be operated either by compressed gas, spring pressure, mechanical linkages or cable pulls.
- hollow piercing pins or firing pins can also be used.
- An advantageous development of the present invention provides that the compressed gas unit via a Compressed gas line is connected to the filling unit.
- the filling unit By integrating the filling unit into the buoyancy body, the air is sucked in directly on site, which means that no correspondingly configured lines for a gas-air mixture are required.
- no check valve By using compressed gas lines that are only connected to the compressed gas container, no check valve is required in this area.
- the triggering device has a chamber for generating a controlled pressure wave.
- Ordinary blank cartridges with gunpowder, but also nitrogen cartridges can be used.
- the trigger device can be constructed in such a way that the cartridge snaps onto a mandrel in a carriage, and that a firing pin snaps onto an ignition plate of a fixed cartridge.
- the pressure gas wave triggered thereby is led to the pressure gas unit via a trigger line designed as a pressure gas line.
- the advantage of such a release device is that no complicated routing of Bowden cables or linkages is required, as a result of which mechanical failure, e.g. Jamming a Bowden cable is almost impossible. All common devices for igniting blank cartridges can be used for triggering. Electrical triggering via wire or radio can also be used.
- the triggering device (8) is advantageously designed as a handle for triggering a train.
- a handle can have a display that shows the charge status. Thereby the user is warned against taking a "shot down" avalanche rescue system.
- the buoyancy body advantageously has a jacket consisting of collapsible, tear-resistant and gas-tight material. This can consist, for example, of rubberized fabric or laminated film or tear-resistant balloon material.
- the buoyancy body can have any suitable shape, e.g. Balloon, pillow or cigar shape. But a simple tube shape can also be sufficient.
- a further advantageous embodiment provides that the buoyancy body (2, 3) has a gas-tight balloon (219) within the casing (218).
- the buoyancy body can be folded or "crumpled" much smaller, as a result of which the pack dimensions are reduced.
- the balloon can consist, for example, of PU-coated polyamide fabric, while the sheath material can be thicker, uncoated polyamide fabric.
- An advantageous development of the present invention provides that the sheath and balloon fabric of the buoyancy body is connected in a gas-tight manner to the valve opening of the filling unit. This can be achieved, for example, by clamping the jacket and balloon fabric in a gas-tight manner between a toothed sealing ring and a pressure plate by means of screws or rivets.
- buoyancy bodies projecting laterally over the body of the user are provided.
- Another advantageous effect of the lateral arrangement of the buoyancy bodies is that the skier or snowboarder is hardly restricted in his freedom of movement, so that an attempt to escape from the approaching avalanche is still possible.
- the head of the user is also protected from injury by the buoyancy bodies protruding laterally above the head.
- the total volume of the buoyancy bodies can be reduced as a further essential effect, which contributes significantly to reducing the weight and the pack dimensions.
- Two buoyancy bodies also have an additional safety function, since if one of the two buoyancy bodies is damaged or malfunctions, the remaining buoyancy body still provides sufficient buoyancy.
- the compressed gas unit of the avalanche rescue system is integrated in the back part of a backpack and the buoyancy bodies are laterally connected to the backpack. This increases comfort and allows access to the backpack without that
- a grille in front of the suction opening of the filling unit advantageously prevents snow, ice or other foreign bodies from entering the filling unit, for example during a fall and thereby jamming the check valve, which prevents the filling unit from malfunctioning.
- the grid can be a bar grid, sieve or fleece and consist for example of plastic, synthetic fibers or metal wire.

- the buoyancy bodies 2, 3 each have a volume of 75 l.
- the trigger device 8 is connected via a quick coupling 9 to a trigger line 10 which is integrated in one of the risers 31, 32 (not shown).
- the trigger line 10, designed as a compressed gas line is designed for high pressures (up to approximately 600 bar). It is connected at the end opposite the quick coupling 9 by a connector 11 to the cover 12 of the compressed gas unit 6.
- the base component 13 of the compressed gas unit 6 consists of a substantially cylindrical rotating part made of metal, which on its has cylindrical cavities 37, 38 in each of the two end sections arranged in the longitudinal axis direction. Both cavities 37, 38 are connected to one another via a bore.
- the cover 12 is screwed gas-tight to an end section of the cylindrical cavity 37, in which there is a piston 14 which is displaceable in the longitudinal axis direction of the base component.
- a needle 15 is connected to the piston 14 and protrudes into the bore between the two cylindrical cavities 37, 38 of the base component 13.
- the second cylindrical cavity 38 has an internal thread for receiving the closure cap of the compressed gas container 7.
- the pressurized gas unit 6 and the pressurized gas container 7 are integrated in the back part of the backpack 34 and fastened to the holding plate 35 by means of fastening straps.
- receptacles for the connecting pieces 16, 17 are arranged in the middle section of the base component 13.
- the connectors 16, 17 are connected to compressed gas lines 18, 19 (for pressures up to about 600 bar), which are each connected to the filling units 4, 5 via connectors 20, 21.
- the filling units 4, 5 are located within the buoyancy bodies 2, 3 and, in addition to the pressurized gas connection 20, 21, each have a check or vent valve 22, 23.
- the valves 22, 23 can be opened manually by pressing in the cylindrical bodies 24, 25.
- the filling unit 4, 5 consists essentially of plastic and is gas-tightly connected to the jacket of the buoyancy body 2, 3.
- the jacket of the buoyancy body 2, 3 has a round opening, which is each sealed inside by the check valve and which has a cover grid 26, 27 on the outside for protection against snow.
- the material of the buoyancy bodies 2, 3 consists of gas-impermeable, tear-resistant and collapsible fabric and is connected to the backpack 34 via tabs 28, which each engage in a zipper-like manner with tabs 29 attached to the backpack, and a metal rod 30 passing through the tabs (shown on one side only).
- the side pannier 36 is shown in dashed lines on one side with the buoyancy body 2 a folded therein.
- the user of the avalanche rescue system 1 gets into a flow avalanche, he actuates the triggering device 8 by pulling, whereby a pressure wave is triggered which acts on the piston 14 in the compressed gas unit 6 through the trigger line 10.
- the piston 14 is thereby moved in the direction of the center of the base component 13, whereby the needle 15 connected to the piston 14 penetrates the cap of the compressed gas container 7.
- the compressed gas in the present case nitrogen (pressure approx. 200 bar), pushes the piston back with the needle and can then pass through the connecting pieces 16, 17 and the compressed gas lines 18, 19 into the filling units 4, 5.
- the inflowing compressed gas firstly pre-fills the buoyancy bodies 2, 3, thereby freeing them from their side panniers and exposing the check valves 22, 23.
- the negative pressure generated by the inflowing compressed gas causes the check valves 22, 23 to open, as a result of which ambient air is additionally drawn in.
- the filled buoyancy bodies 2, 3 thus have a mixture of compressed gas and ambient air in the filled state.
- the two buoyancy bodies 2, 3 are arranged on the backpack side parts, as a result of which they do not hinder the skier from escaping from an triggered avalanche.
- the buoyancy area will be the lateral arrangement of the buoyancy bodies 2, 3 is considerably increased, which enables safe sliding on the flow avalanche.
- a secure connection close to the body of the buoyancy bodies 2, 3 to the user is ensured by the backpack carrying straps 31, 32 indicated by the dashed lines and the hip belt 33 also indicated by the dashed lines.
- the carrying seams of the backpack are designed for particularly high forces to ensure the safe function of the avalanche rescue system.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 show the filling unit 4 with the plastic housing 200, the cover plate 210, the cover grille 26, the pressurized gas connection 20 and the non-return or venting valve 22.

- the height of the filling unit is approx. 14 cm.
- the rubber sealing ring 292 is pressed against the circumferential sealing edge 296 by the spring pressure of the spring 280.
- pressurized gas is introduced from the pressurized gas line 18 via the pressurized gas connection 20, the bore 230 and the bore 240 into the nozzle 250.
- the inflowing compressed gas initially causes the buoyant body to be slightly pre-filled, which frees it automatically from the side pannier.
- the negative pressure that arises due to the flow velocity of the compressed gas causes the check valve 22 to open against the spring pressure of the spring 280 (FIG. 3). Due to the ejector action of the nozzle 250, ambient air is drawn in through the cover grid 26 via the open check valve 22 (arrows A, B, C, D).
- a double ejector effect occurs because the air flow sucked in through the holes 261 increases the ejector effect of the compressed gas at the outlet of the casing tube 260. As the flow velocity of the compressed gas decreases, the ejector effect diminishes and the valve 22 closes again. This will make a Escape of the gas mixture from the filled

- the piston 14 has an O-ring 430 as a piston seal.
- the needle 15 has a large diameter for stabilization and guidance and a smaller diameter in the area of the tip.
- the needle 15 is flattened on one side so that gas can flow along it.
- the base component 13 produced by machining has a blow-off hole 400 in the outer wall of the hollow cylindrical section in which the piston 14 is guided. Furthermore, the base component 13 has two blind bores 410, 411 and the central through bore 412 in its central section, through which the needle 15 is guided.
- the cylindrical cavity 38 for receiving the pressurized gas container has an internal thread 420.
- the pressure wave generated by the triggering device passes through the connector 11 into the cylindrical cavity 37 of the compressed gas unit 6. There the piston 14 displaced by the pressure wave until the needle 15 connected to the piston 14 has penetrated the cap 500 of the pressure gas container. In this position, the piston 14 releases the blow-off bore 400, as a result of which the pressure wave generated by the release unit can escape into the environment. The compressed gas flowing out of the compressed gas container now pushes the needle and the piston back into their starting position. This will make the
