Abstract

The activated airbags are for use with road vehicles, aircraft and helicopters which land in water. They are activated by a sensor which water affects or by manual operation. They are filled with gas cartridges filled with external air with aid of an air pump. They can be placed in a folded situation. The position of the airbag is dependent upon the center of gravity of the vehicle. An airbag undertakes a rolling action at the moment that the vehicle, aircraft or helicopter lands on its head in the water, so that maximum turning is achieved on the side edge. The bags have an operative guarantee for a specific duration.

Description

Korte aanduiding: VoertuigdrijfsysteemShort description: Vehicle driving system

Het huidige ongevalpreventie systeem van de auto-industrie en vliegtuig / helikopter-industrie heeft een groot deel van de mogelijke ongevalssituaties ondervangen door beveiligingssystemen. ' 5 Het probleem echter blijft een ongeval waar een voertuig in het water belandt, hier is deThe current accident prevention system of the car industry and aircraft / helicopter industry has covered a large part of the possible accident situations by security systems. The problem, however, remains an accident where a vehicle ends up in the water, here is the

; overlevingskans van de inzittende relatief laag.; chances of survival of the occupant relatively low.

De oplossing voor dit probleem zijn een aantal luchtzakken welke geactiveerd worden op het moment dat een voertuig in het water belandt. De luchtzakken welke in opgevouwen situatie beginnen en hierdoor dus geplaatst kunnen worden in deuren, dorpels, bumpers, dakrail, 10 vleugels, romp, rotor, staart, etc. De locatie en het formaat is afhankelijk van het benodigde drijivermogen met betrekking tot het zwaartepunt en gewicht van het voertuig. Een belangrijke luchtzak is benodigd in de dakrail of rotor om een kanteling inwerking te stellen op het moment dat het voertuig op z’n kop in het water belandt, zodat het voertuig of vliegtuig / helikopter maximaal tot een zijwaartse kanteling in staat is. Het activeringssysteem is opgebouwd uit een 15 sensor met tijdsvertraging tegen bijvoorbeeld spatwater, zoals bijvoorbeeld een vlotter of een contactsensor, of handbediening, in de vorm van bijvoorbeeld een noodschakelaar op het dashboard of bedieningspaneel, en een opblaasmechanisme wat bijvoorbeeld gebruikmaakt van gaspatronen of een luchtpomp. De luchtzakken zullen na activering gevuld worden met lucht of ander gas wat zorgt voor het drijivermogen, deze luchtzakken moeten voor een bepaalde tijd een 20 drijivermogen garanderen.The solution to this problem is a number of air pockets that are activated when a vehicle ends up in the water. The air bags that start in a folded situation and can therefore be placed in doors, sills, bumpers, roof rails, wings, hull, rotor, tail, etc. The location and the size depend on the required driving power with regard to the center of gravity and vehicle weight. An important air bag is required in the roof rail or rotor to trigger a tilt when the vehicle ends up in the water, so that the vehicle or aircraft / helicopter is capable of maximum lateral tilt. The activation system is composed of a sensor with a time delay against, for example, splash water, such as for example a float or a contact sensor, or manual operation, in the form of, for example, an emergency switch on the dashboard or control panel, and an inflation mechanism which, for example, uses gas cartridges or an air pump. The air bags will be filled with air or other gas after activation, which ensures the driving power, these air bags must guarantee a driving power for a certain time.

Claims (7)

1. Door gebruik te maken van geactiveerde luchtzakken wordt er voor drijfvermogen gezorgd op een voertuig of vliegtuig / helikopter welke in het water belandt.1. By using activated air bags buoyancy is ensured on a vehicle or aircraft / helicopter that ends up in the water. 2. Luchtzakken worden geactiveerd met behulp van een sensor welke water waarneemt of handbediening.2. Air bags are activated using a sensor which detects water or manual control. 3. De luchtzakken worden gevuld doormiddel van gaspatronen of buitenlucht met behulp van een luchtpomp.3. The air bags are filled by means of gas cartridges or outside air with the aid of an air pump. 4. De luchtzakken kunnen in opgevouwen situatie geplaatst worden.4. The air bags can be placed in folded situation. 5. De positie van de luchtzakken is afhankelijk van het zwaartepunt van het voertuig.5. The position of the air bags depends on the center of gravity of the vehicle. 6. Een luchtzak zorgt voor een rol actie op het moment dat het voertuig of vliegtuig / helikopter op z’n kop in het water belandt, zodat maximale omslag wordt bereikt op de zijkant.6. An air bag provides a rolling action when the vehicle or aircraft / helicopter lands upside down in the water, so that maximum turning is achieved on the side. 7. De luchtzakken hebben een drijfvermogen garantie voor een bepaalde tijdsduur. 15 10281107. The air bags have a buoyancy guarantee for a certain period of time. 15 1028110
