Abstract

Dispositif de sauvetage dans des situations 'un homme à la mer', qui utilise un câble de liaison reliant un projectile (22) à une unité de propulsion portative (21). Le câble de liaison est stocké dans une cartouche (24) aménagée sur le projectile (22). La cartouche (24) est enroulée autour d'un canal central (50) à l'intérieur d'un récipient (23) qui est attaché à l'unité de propulsion (21). Le projectile (22) est monté sur l'unité de propulsion (21) de manière à faire saillie à travers le canal (50), et une extrémité interne (51) du câble est reliée au projectile (22) à l'intérieur du canal (50) de manière à ce que la cartouche de câble (24) se déroule depuis l'intérieur du canal (50) lorsque le projectile est propulsé depuis l'unité de propulsion (21). L'unité de propulsion (21) comprend une cartouche à blanc qui, lorsqu'elle est tirée, injecte du gaz sous pression à travers un canal (31) dans un canon (28), vers une extrémité fermée (43) dans le projectile (22).
