Abstract

Gonfleur comportant une section de gonflement à fonctionnement automatique fixée à un gonfleur manuel connu. La section automatique comprend un dispositif de verrouillage maintenant un plongeur actionné par un ressort de compression hélicoïdal à l'état armé, jusqu'a ce qu'il libère le plongeur qui pousse ensuite une pointe de percement contre et à travers un diaphragme d'obturation d'une capsule à gaz. Le dispositif de verrouillage comporte un élément pouvant être détruit par l'eau retenant le dispositif en position d'armement du plongeur, jusqu'à ce que ledit élément subisse l'action de l'eau dans une mesure suffisante pour l'affaiblir au point que le dispositif de verrouillage relâche le plongeur. Applications : aux articles gonflables tels que les gilets de sauvetage.Inflator having an automatically operating inflation section attached to a known manual inflator. The automatic section includes a locking device holding a plunger actuated by a helical compression spring in the cocked state, until it releases the plunger which then pushes a piercing tip against and through a shutter diaphragm. of a gas capsule. The locking device comprises a component capable of being destroyed by water retaining the device in the cocking position of the diver, until said element is subjected to the action of water to a sufficient extent to weaken it to the point that the locking device releases the plunger. Applications: to inflatable items such as life jackets.
