Definitions

  • the housing 4 itself has a cover or closure which is operated on inflation of the device by a mechanism 9 which can be manual or automatic.
  • An automatic mechanism 9 can be operated by temperature or smoke.
  • the space is shown as a passage or tunnel, though it could be any generally enclosed space in which one area may be required to be isolated from another, such as an underground or subway platform, a tunnel for an underground, metro or subway train, passenger or personnel access tunnels or passages at underground metro or subway stations, passages or tunnels in public buildings, the fuselage of an aircraft, companionways or passages in ships, a hold of a ship, a submarine, a lift shaft, a mine shaft, or the like area.
  • the device may in another embodiment be mobile in that it is mounted on the cutting or tunnelling machine.
  • the device may be mounted on the rear of the machine, at the end thereof opposite the cutting or boring head. If there is a hazard such as a fire on or near the machine, the device is deployed to seal off the part of the tunnel in which the machine currently finds itself, thereby isolating that part from the rest of the tunnel, whilst enabling personnel operating the machine to escape from that part through the deployed device.
  • the gas used to inflate and thus deploy the device may be carbon dioxide, nitrogen, or other inert or non-flammable gas.
  • the cross-section of the toroidal bag may be tapered, or of wedge-shape.
  • the wedge shape When deployed the wedge shape is deployed such that the tapered surface is directed upwardly into the wall in the direction from which a blast is likely to come, the force of any blast thus forcing the apparatus firmly against the wall and retaining the device in position, and thus containing the blast.
  • the bag could be rough to provide a modified exterior which can provide a frictional grip on the wall when deployed.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un appareil (1) permettant de fermer un espace ou une zone, en l'occurrence un passage, et qui comprend un dispositif (3) conçu pour se monter dans un passage (2) et se déployer contre une paroi (4) du passage tout en laissant l'accès libre pour les utilisateurs du passage (2). Selon le mode de réalisation de l'invention, le passage (2) est un tunnel de section généralement circulaire. Le dispositif (3) se présente sous la forme d'un sac imperméable aux gaz ou d'une enceinte souple en matériau résistant au feu qui est logé, par exemple plié, dans une enveloppe de protection (5). L'enveloppe (5) telle qu'elle est représentée dans la figure 1 est montée dans la partie haute de la paroi (4) du tunnel (2) et renferme, en plus du sac (3), une source de fluide sous pression tel qu'un gaz - air, azote ou tout autre gaz approprié - et un mécanisme de gonflage (6) reliant le gaz à la source de fluide. Le sac (3) comprend un structure toroïdale dont la partie centrale, constituée par une bavette ou un volet (8), qui permet aux utilisateurs du passage (2) de franchir le dispositif (3) lorsqu'il est déployé.
