Abstract
1,018,296. Parachute apparatus. A. POURCHET. July 14, 1962, No. 18535/62. Heading B7G. A device to slow the descent of a load in the atmosphere comprises a load support 1, a container to hold fluid connected to the support, and means for causing the fluid to be released from the container into the atmosphere when the load is near the ground to form a layer of fluid at superatmospheric pressure between the load and the ground. The device may permit the load to settle on the ground without shock. Fig. 1 shows a parachute load platform 4. A pilot weight 14, on striking the ground, initiates flow of fluid from telescopically extendable nozzles 6, to brake the load, thus enabling the major part of the descent to be at a faster speed. The nozzles are supplied from a source of fluid under pressure, and contacting of the ground by the pilot weight may make an electrical circuit to detonate a cartridge which results in removal of an obstruction between the source and the nozzles (Fig. 4, not shown). In Fig. 2 (not shown) the fluid flow from line 11 is used to entrain ambient air in ejector ducts 10. An ejection seat may be fitted with similar .braking means.
