Abstract

The parachute incorporates in its sails inflatable stiffening rolls which are inflated by gas pressure. The inflated rolls deploy the parachute sails. The rolls are placed diagonally across the sail as far as its ends. The inflation valve is located at the intersection of rolls. Pressurised gas is stored in a bottle which is exhausted by specific action.

Description

Parachute à ouverture automatique pneumatique
L'invention concerne un parachute à ouverture automatique autonome.
Parachute with automatic pneumatic opening
The invention relates to a self-opening automatic parachute.

Le concept initial est venu du besoin de créer un parachute pour quc les vétérans parachutistes américains qui ont apporté la Liberté à mon pays: la
France, puissent sauter en toute sécurité; cette invention portera le nom, s'il l'autorise, du vétéran américain qui a sauté de nouveau pour le cdnquatarane du débarquement en juin 1994 dans les marécages de Amfreville ct qui s'est blessé.
The original concept came from the need to create a parachute so that the American parachute veterans who brought Liberty to my country: the
France, can jump safely; this invention shall bear the name, if authorized, of the American veteran who jumped again for the landing catamaran in June 1994 in the marshes of Amfreville and who was injured.

On connaît des parachutes s'ouvrant automatiquement après le satiL > lc parachute étant sortie de son sac grâce a un filin tenu par une octrmité dans l'appareil: avion, hélicoptère ou autre. Parachutes are known to open automatically after the parachute being taken out of its bag thanks to a rope held by a license in the aircraft: plane, helicopter or other.

Il existe aussi des parachutes non automatiques dont la voile se déploie à la suite du primaire déploiement d'un mini parachute; on a voulu de plus résoudre le problème du risque de mise en torche du parachute apyres son déploiement. There are also non-automatic parachutes whose sail deploys after the primary deployment of a mini parachute; we also wanted to solve the problem of the risk of flaring the parachute apyres its deployment.

L'originalité de la présente invention est l'incorporation de raidisseurs
sous forme de boudins pneumatiques qui en se gonflant sous la pression d'un gaz comprimé dans une bouteille déplie la voilure ou ia rrcrrface porteuse da
parachute en toute sécurité.De plus, ces raidisseurs sous forme de boudins
pneumatiques peuvent apporter un déploiement en sécurité en un temps trés
réduit, permettant de diminuer fortement la hauteur nécessaire pour le
déploiement de la surface portez se du parachute ou voilure des parachutes
On a cherché â créer un dispositif simple d'utilisation et de mise en place
dont la caractéristique est l'utilisation d'une réserve de gaz comprimé
permettant de gonfler rapidement la voilure, on peut ajouter un systeme
séquentiel, permettant de gonfler les boudins dans un ordre précis.
The originality of the present invention is the incorporation of stiffeners
in the form of pneumatic tubes which, by being inflated under the pressure of a compressed gas in a bottle, unfolds the blade or the bearing surface
parachute safely.Moreover, these stiffeners in the form of rolls
pneumatic tires can provide a safe deployment in a very short time
reduced, greatly reducing the height required for
Deployment of the surface wear of the parachute or wing parachutes
An attempt has been made to create a simple device for use and installation
whose characteristic is the use of a reserve of compressed gas
to quickly inflate the wing, we can add a system
sequential, to inflate the rods in a specific order.

La forme de réalisation préférée de l'invention présente des
caractéristiques supplémentaires; l'invention devant se caractériser par la
simplicité d'utilisation et de mise en place, d'autres caractéristiques et
avantages de la présente invention ressortiront de la description qui va sur
faite en regard des dessins annexés, et donnant à titre explicatif; mais nullement
limitatif, une forme de réalisation de l'invention qui est nullement limitative
nous appellerons celle décrite
parachute à ouverture automatique pneumatique
figure I - la voilure du présent parachute, à titre d'exemple, est rectangulaire, elie est posée à plat et nous voyons la face interne soit celle la plus proche du parachutiste.A l'intérieur de la voilure est incorporé, cousu w collé par exemple, en diagonale, jusqu'à chaque extrémité de la voilure, des ensembles dit: boudins gonflables (a) formés par l'assemblage en périphérie dc deux morceaux, présentement et à titre d'exemple, de tissu enduit étanche au gaz qui sera injecté dedans: de l'air, du co2 ou autre.
The preferred embodiment of the invention has
additional features; the invention to be characterized by the
simplicity of use and set-up, other features and
advantages of the present invention will emerge from the description which goes to
made with reference to the appended drawings, and given for the purpose of explanation; but by no means
limiting, an embodiment of the invention which is not limiting in any way
we will call the one described
parachute with automatic pneumatic opening
figure I - the sails of this parachute, as an example, is rectangular, elie is laid flat and we see the inner face is the closest to the parachutist.At the inside of the wing is incorporated, sewed w pasted for example, diagonally, to each end of the wing, assemblies said: inflatable tubes (a) formed by the assembly on the periphery of two pieces, currently and by way of example, of gas-tight coated fabric which will be injected in: air, co2 or other.

figure 2 nous voyons la face externe de la voilure, celle qui sera la plus éloignée du parachutiste Au centre de la voilure soit à l'intersection des boudins gonflables (a) est fixée une valve sur laquelle est adaptée un systêrne pour gonflage rapide; ce système se compose d'une valve sur laquelle est fix & une pièce de liaison comprenant un percuteur relié par une cordelette à une poignée pour l'actionner; ; sur cette pièce de liaison se fixe une bouteille de gaz comprimé
figure 3 : la voilure du parachute est repliée dans son sac, nous voyons le système de ooifiage mis en evérietlr du sac, la poignée d'action du percuteur de la valve est fixée à une cordelette qui est fixée au percuteur
figure 4 - le parachute se déploie; le parachutiste par une action volontaire, en tirant la poignée du percutellr, a actionné celui-ci, percutant l'ouverture de la bouteille. le gaz sols pression dans la bouteille se vidant, gonfle les boudins qui se déploient et déploient par la même la voilure du parachute
figure 5 la voilure est tendu grâce aux raidisseurs gonflés, le parachutiste peut descendre en toute sécurité,
Il est facile aux spécialistes de voir la multitude de variantes pouvant être apportées à l'invention sans que cette liste et les descriptions qui l'accompagnent ne soient limitatives, mais simplement un aperçu des multiples possibilités.
figure 2 we see the outer face of the wing, the one which will be furthest from the parachutist In the center of the wing, at the intersection of the inflatable tubes (a) is fixed a valve on which is fitted a system for rapid inflation; this system consists of a valve on which is fixed to a connecting piece comprising a firing pin connected by a cord to a handle to actuate it; ; on this connecting piece is fixed a bottle of compressed gas
figure 3: the wing of the parachute is folded in its bag, we see the ooifier system put out of the bag, the action handle of the striker of the valve is fixed to a cord which is fixed to the striker
figure 4 - the parachute unfolds; the parachutist by a voluntary action, by pulling the grip of the percussionist, actuated this one, striking the opening of the bottle. the soil gas pressure in the emptying bottle, inflates the rolls that unfold and deploy by the same the parachute wing
figure 5 the wing is stretched thanks to inflated stiffeners, the parachutist can descend safely,
It is easy for specialists to see the multitude of variants that can be made to the invention without this list and the descriptions that accompany it being limiting, but simply an overview of the many possibilities.

La voilure du parachute peut avoir n'importe quelle forme, rectangulaire, ronde ou autres, de plus on peut utiliser ce système par exemple pour déplier d'autres sortes de voilure: delta plane, voile volante, voile dite "spie" ou autres de bateau ou toutes autres voilures
On peut ajouter un système séquentiel au système de gonflage, permettant de gonfler les boudins dans un ordre précis
Les boudins servant de raidisseurs peuvent être périphériques à la voilure, transversaux ou autres
On peut mettre en place un système rapide permettant la vidange de l'air inclus dans les boudins et ainsi rendre aisé le repliement de la voilure au sol.
The wing of the parachute can have any shape, rectangular, round or other, moreover we can use this system for example to unfold other kinds of sails: flat delta, flying sail, sail called "spie" or others of boat or any other wing
A sequential system can be added to the inflation system, allowing the tubes to be inflated in a precise order
The flanges serving as stiffeners may be peripheral to the wing, transverse or other
We can set up a quick system allowing the emptying of the air included in the rolls and thus make easy the folding of the wing on the ground.

Les boudins en tissus enduit peuvent être remplacés par des armatures télescopiques ou autres, à déploiement automatique: pneumafique, par ressort comprimé ou autres. The coated fabric rolls can be replaced by telescopic or other armatures with automatic deployment: pneumatic, compressed spring or others.

ll va de soit que la présente invention n'a été décrite et représentée qu'a titre explicatif, mais nullement limitatif, et qu'elle est susceptible de multiples variantes.  It goes without saying that the present invention has been described and shown for explanatory purposes, but in no way limiting, and that it is capable of multiple variants.
