Description

TOBOGAN ARMED PROTECTION AND WARNING DEVICE FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device for protection and warning of armed slide that provides improved protection conditions by means of the use of a protection device of fragile, translucent, flexible material of striking color (s). Being of different measures and color according to its use within this sector.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The air lines that have Airbus aircraft with plug-type doors in their fleet have experienced problems mainly of economic, operational and, in some cases, injuries to their staff and third parties due to the inadvertent tripping of slides. This occurs mainly when the aircraft is on the landing platform and the flight personnel DO NOT disarm the slide and open the door (this way the slide is activated and causes a series of factors such as high economic losses in repair and / or change of the slide, risk of integrity, physics of the personnel receiving the flight and in some cases of the crew and passengers that are on board the aircraft, among others.

Most of the armed slide warning devices are attached to the door or to the slide itself to prevent the slide from being operated, as is the case of the patent US 5738303 which provides a mechanism for arming, disarming and activating a system of Emergency evacuation in an airplane that includes an escape corridor and a pneumatic reservoir containing the pressurized gas.

The present invention addresses the need to provide an armored slide warning and protection device that provides improved protection conditions by the use of a fragile, translucent, flexible, color-striking material (s) protection device.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a device called "SAPWAD" for its acronym in English (Slide Armed Protection Warning Device) protection and warning of armed slide, hereinafter called "device" (1), built in accordance with the present invention that; It comprises a fragile, translucent, flexible cover striking color, easy installation, which is fixed on the doors, so as to cover the Door Control Lever (7) while the slide is armed.

It is an aspect of the present invention to provide a device that prevents undesired operation of the door control lever once the slide is armed.

According to another aspect of the present invention the device (1) is constructed in such a way that it does not interfere with the opening of the door (6) in emergency, since its material is a fragile, translucent and flexible material, which has a lower hole (2) at the height of. the handle of the door control lever (7) and another upper hole (3) at the height of the sight glass (8). This allows you to check exterior conditions through the window and lift the door control lever (7) without having removed the device (1).

According to another aspect of the present invention, which is easy to handle under normal conditions. After the door (6) is closed, by lowering the door control lever (7), and before assembling the slide, by lowering the armed lever (9), it is necessary to put the device (1) in the activated position, placing the temporary fixation (4) of the device (1) at the temporary fixation point (10) of: the door (6). Later the slide is armed, lowering the armed lever (9). The armed lever (9) covers said element and said temporary fixing point (4) (10) in such a way that the temporary fixing element (4) of the device (1) can not be removed from the temporary fixing point (10) of the door (6).

To open the door under normal conditions, proceed to disassemble the slide by lifting the armed lever (9), allowing access to said elements and temporary attachment points (4) (10). Then, the temporary fixing element (4) of the device (1) of the temporary fixing point (10) of the door (6) is detached. The device (1) is left hanging from the permanent fixing point (11) of the door (6). In this way, the door control lever (7) is released, thus allowing the door (6) to be opened, by raising the door control lever (7). :: BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 is a schematic form of the device (1) Fig.2 is a schematic form of the device (1) mounted on the door (6) when it is inactive.

Fig.3 is a schematic form of the device (1) mounted on the door (6) when it is active.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The device (1) and assembly of the armed slide protection and warning system according to the present invention involves a fragile, translucent and flexible cover of striking color, with a hole (2) at the height of the handle of the control lever door (7) and another hole (3) at the height of the peephole (8), which can carry warning words such as "ARMED", "CAUTION" or "ALERT" / easy installation, which is fixed on the doors ( 61, so as to cover the door control lever (7) while the slide is armed, as shown in figure 3.:; The device is permanently fixed in the point (11), in the door support handle (12) or in a separate point under this handle (12). The point (101: is a temporary fixation point (when the slide is armed), behind the armed lever (9).

After closing the door (6) and before assembling the slide, the device must be fixed at point (10). After assembling the slide, it is impossible to remove the device from point (10), since it is located behind the armed lever (9). The device allows visibility through the window (8) to the outside since it is made with a hole (3) concentric with the size thereof. After disassembling the slide and before opening the door (6), the temporary fixing element (4) must be removed from the temporary fixing point (10), leaving the door control lever (7) uncovered. When you want to open the door without having disassembled the slide, the device is covering the door control lever (6). Thus it warns in a visual and tactile way, that the slide is armed and avoids its unnoticed shot. The device does not interfere in the opening of the door (6) in emergency, since it is made of fragile, translucent and flexible material. This allows you to check exterior conditions through the sight glass (8) and lift the door control lever (7).

Figure 1 shows the device (1), which is a slide protection and warning device Armed consisting of a cover of fragile, translucent and flexible material in such a way that it is visible but at the same time does not obstruct the peephole (8) and allows access to the door control lever (7) through the lower hole (2). This cover has fastening elements (4 and 5) in its upper ends that include sailboat, brooches, among others.

The main objective of the device (1) is to avoid damages to people, economic losses due to damage to the aircraft in repair and / or change of the slide, payments to third parties, alteration of itineraries, payment of personnel, compensation to clients, etc. by avoiding opening the door without having first disassembled the slide.
