Definitions

  • Figures 12A-B illustrate an avalanche safety system with an alternative inflation system including an automatic deflation configuration that utilizes a valve disposed on an external surface of the inflatable chamber;
  • the valve 318 is disposed on a distal end of the channel 312 adjacent to the inflatable member 240.
  • the valve 318 is oriented and configured to both permit air flow away from the channel 312 into the inflatable chamber 240 and restrict air flow out of into the channel 312 away from the inflatable chamber 240.
  • the orientation and configuration of the valve 318 permits the inflatable chamber 240 to inflate and maintain a particular internal air pressure.
  • Various valves may be used in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.
  • the inflation position of the fan 264 illustrated in Figure 8A is configured to enable the active transmission of ambient air 400 through the internal airway channel 268 and into the inflatable chamber 240.
  • the illustrated fan 264 is configured to move both rotationally and lengthwise with respect to the internal airway channel 268.
  • the inflation position of the fan 264 is configured to not rotationally align the fan housing opening 308 and the channel opening 314, thereby containing all air within the internal region of the channel 312.
  • the inflation position of the fan 264 corresponds to a particular rotational and lengthwise position of the fan housing 304 and supportive member 306 with respect to the channel 312 and supportive slot 306. respectively.
  • the actuator 814 is configured to receive an electrical input via the controller coupling 816 and mechanically switch the valve 812 between the open and closed states. For example, a particular current may be transmitted from the controller 840 to the actuator 814 via the controller coupler 816, thereby causing the actuator 814 to mechanically transition the valve 812 from the closed state to the open state. Likewise, when the electrical current is removed, the actuator 814 may automatically transition the valve 812 from the open state back to the closed state. It will be appreciated that various types of remote operation valves may be utilized in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.
  • the actuator 914 is configured to receive an electrical input via the controller coupling 916 and mechanically switch the valve 912 between the open and closed states. For example, a particular current may be transmitted from the controller 940 to the actuator 914 via the controller coupler 916, thereby causing the actuator 914 to mechanically transition the valve 912 from the closed state to the open state. Likewise, when the electrical current is removed, the actuator 914 may automatically transition the valve 912 from the open state back to the closed state. It will be appreciated that various types of remote operation valves may be utilized in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.
