Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif portable de gonflage rapide d'une poche gonflable (60), de forme générale allongée, comportant au moins une entrée (46) destinée à être reliée à une source (2) de gaz comprimé sous haute pression, pour permettre la détente de ce dernier dans une chambre d'admission d'air (32), l'entrée étant associée à un mécanisme (10, 20) de déclenchement de la libération du gaz comprimé vers la chambre d'admission d'air, cette dernière présentant une ouverture (6) destinée à permettre l'admission d'air environnant et une sortie (28) destinée à être reliée à la poche à gonfler. Le dispositif comporte en outre une chambre intermédiaire de distribution (56) du gaz comprimé, agencée entre l'entrée et la chambre d'admission d'air pour les relier l'une à l'autre et des trous d'éjection (58), agencés de manière à déboucher dans une paroi latérale de la chambre d'admission d'air (32) pour connecter cette dernière à la chambre intermédiaire de distribution.

The present invention relates to a portable device for rapid inflation of an inflatable bag (60), of generally elongated shape, comprising at least one inlet (46) intended to be connected to a source (2) of compressed gas under high pressure, for allowing the latter to relax in an air inlet chamber (32), the inlet being associated with a mechanism (10, 20) for triggering the release of the compressed gas towards the air intake chamber, the latter having an opening (6) intended to allow admission of surrounding air and an outlet (28) intended to be connected to the bag to be inflated. The device further comprises an intermediate chamber (56) for distributing the compressed gas, arranged between the inlet and the air intake chamber to connect them to each other and ejection holes (58). , arranged to open into a side wall of the air intake chamber (32) for connecting the latter to the intermediate distribution chamber.
