Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a liferaft packaging, and more particularly, but not exclusively, to an improved method of packaging an inflatable liferaft and a liferaft adapted to be so packaged.
  • An inflatable liferaft is usually packaged in a deflated state, together with a gas cylinder and an emergency pack containing items such as distress flares, a first aid kit, food and water which emergency pack is usually packed inside the liferaft and retained within a rigid container or a soft valise with the liferaft.
  • the packaged liferaft is launched into the water where it automatically opens releasing the liferaft which is inflated by the gas cylinder.
  • vacuum pack or seal pack liferafts It is known to vacuum pack or seal pack liferafts. This has the advantage of sealing the liferaft against the environment and makes the liferaft more compact and therefore easier to fit into a small container.
  • components, particularly gas inflation parts can be damaged by the compression forces involved.
  • the compression forces exerted during vacuum sealing can lead to welding of the liferaft' s fabric.
  • a vacuum still does not preclude water molecules being drawn through the packaging material, which water molecules may in turn lead to deterioration, albeit in a reduced amount. Also, it is not possible to access the emergency pack for regular replacement of perishable items without opening the vacuum pack.
  • the container comprises two watertight compartments with a watertight partition separating the two sections. In one section is stowed the liferaft and in the other section the gas cylinder and emergency pack; the second section can be accessed independently of the first section thereby allowing for the annual replacement of perishable items .
  • the waterproof partition has apertures for the connection of the gas cylinder to the liferaft and at the same time forms a section of the base of the liferaft. In use, when the liferaft has been inflated, the second section sits directly underneath the liferaft and it is necessary to
  • SUBSTTTUTE SHEET (RULE 26) lift a hatch in the floor or cut the floor of the liferaft to access the emergency pack.
  • the design has the drawback that the container is costly.
  • the specific design of liferaft incorporating at least part of the container means that known liferafts cannot be packaged by this method.
  • the attachment of the container to the floor of the liferaft weakens the liferaft, and because it is necessary to cut through the floor of the liferaft or open a hatch, this can further weaken the liferaft which can be a problem if leakage is occurring through the container underneath the cut floor portion.

  • the liferaft is sealed from the environment whilst the emergency pack is accessible for regular replacement of its perishable items, thus extending the service life of the liferaft. Furthermore, because the liferaft is hermetically sealed within a bag it can be packed within a standard container and the bag can contain a substantially standard liferaft.
  • the bag comprises means internally for attaching the liferaft thereto.
  • the means internally for attaching it to the liferaft comprises one or more straps, mating member or wires.
  • the bag comprises means, such as, for example, eyelets and a draw cord or strap, by which the bag can be sub-divided to form two discrete compartments .

  • the annual inspection will be undertaken by opening the container and checking the general condition of the bag; if a humidity indicator is fitted, this will be checked.
  • the emergency pack will then be opened. In the case of the embodiment of Fig. 1, this involves untying the straps 20 and reaching into the pouch 18, to remove and replace the necessary equipment replaced. After checking the emergency pack, the straps 20 are re-tied. If the gas inflation system is stowed outside the hermetically sealed bag, this will be checked by test weighing and if necessary the gas cylinder will be recharged.
  • the operating head and hoses will be checked and inspected. If necessary these can be replaced.
