Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an emergency parachute used by an aircraft occupant.

[Conventional technology]

 FIG. 4 is a side view of a conventional parachute.

In the figure, 1 is an aircraft occupant, 2 is a parachute body,
3 is a guided parachute and 10 is a parachute cord.
The figure shows the occupant descending using a parachute.

The conventional parachute is not provided with an article for making it easy for a person on the ground to see the descent or a device for notifying the person on the ground of the descent.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

When an abnormal situation occurs during the flight of an aircraft, the occupants try their best to solve the abnormal situation for the limited time by the available means. Unfortunately, if the abnormal situation cannot be resolved, the crew will escape from the aircraft with a parachute. At this time, it is not always possible to descend to a place where a person is watching near a house, and it may fall to a remote mountain or a sea far away from land. The conventional parachute does not have a device that merely opens the umbrella and that the parachute itself is prominently visible, or a device that notifies the descent point. Also, if the occupant has a device or the like for notifying the descending position for emergency, it is possible to notify by that, but if he is faint, such a procedure cannot be performed and it becomes a dangerous state, The rescue is in despair.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and makes it easier for a person on the ground to see the descent of the parachute in order to safely rescue the aircraft occupants, and a device for notifying the person on the ground of the position of the parachute. It is intended to provide the attached parachute.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and is provided between the parachute body and the guide parachute, and is attached to the surface of the parachute body, which is a smoke emitting device that starts smoking when the guide parachute is drawn out from the parachute storage bag. The present invention relates to a parachute including a large number of small light-reflecting pieces and a position notification transmitter that is mounted between the parachute rope and an occupant and that is activated by tension applied to the rope to start radio wave transmission.

[Action]

People on the ground can visually recognize the descent of the parachute due to the smoke emitted from the smoke generating device and the light reflected by the light reflecting pieces. The engine receiving the radio wave from the position notification transmitter can estimate the descent position of the parachute. Therefore, it is possible to perform rescue activities for the occupant who has descended using these as clues.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a side view showing a state in which an occupant is descending by a parachute of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is an occupant descending by a parachute, 2 is a parachute body, 3 is a guided parachute, and 10 is a parachute rope. The above is the same as that of the prior art. 4 is the parachute body 2
Smoker provided between the guide parachute 3 and the
Is smoke emitted from the smoke emitting device, 6 is a small light-reflecting piece such as aluminum foil mounted on the surface of the parachute body 2, 7 is a position notification transmitter mounted near the occupant 1,
Reference numeral 12 is a transmission signal emitted from the transmitter.

When the occupant descends by the parachute equipped with the above-mentioned articles and devices, smoke 5 from the smoke emitting device 4 or sunlight or the like is reflected by the light reflection piece 6, so that the occupant 1 is not visually recognized. The direction, position, etc. are now visible. In addition, the transmission signal of the position notification transmitter 7
With 12, the person on the ground can detect the position of the occupant 1 even in a cloudy weather or at night when the reflection of smoke or light cannot be visually recognized, and the occupant 1 can be rescued.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the above-described embodiment in a stored state of the parachute and devices before the descent of the occupant. In the figure, 8 is a parachute storage bag, 9 is a parachute attachment for an occupant, and 11 is a sandpaper provided near the smoke-generating device 4 at the exit of the storage bag. Other than these are the same as those described in FIG. Smoke generator 4
Is attached between the guide parachute 3 and the parachute body 2, and when the guide parachute 3 is drawn out from the parachute storage bag 8, the side surface of the smoke emitting device 4 rubs the sandpaper 11 made at the outlet of the parachute storage bag 8.
As a result, smoke 5 is generated from the smoke emitting device 4.

FIG. 3 is a side view of the smoke emitting device 4. Reference numeral 13 is a coating surface provided on the side surface of the smoke generating device 4, and smoke is generated as described above.

The light-reflecting small piece 6 made of aluminum foil or the like is sewn to the parachute body 2 or glued.

Further, the position notification transmitter 7 is installed between the rope 10 and the occupant 1, and when the rope 10 is pulled, the switch is turned on to emit a radio wave transmission signal 12 to be detected by land, a ship, or an aircraft, and the position of the occupant. Can be confirmed, and rescue action is performed by this.

As described above, according to the parachute of the present embodiment, when an abnormal situation occurs in the aircraft and the occupant descends due to the parachute, the position of the occupant is notified to other people, so that the rescue operation can be performed in a timely manner. Becomes

[Effect of device]

The parachute of the present invention comprises a smoke emitting device which is provided between the parachute body and the guide parachute to start smoking when the guide parachute is drawn out of the parachute storage bag, a large number of light reflecting pieces attached to the surface of the parachute body, and It is equipped between the parachute rope and the occupant, and is equipped with a position notification transmitter that is activated by the tension applied to the rope and starts radio wave transmission, so it is easy to see from the ground and the position where it descends depending on the engine that received the radio wave. Since it is possible to estimate, it is possible to perform rescue activities for the occupants who have dropped using this as a clue.
