Definitions
- the present invention relates to equipment in particular for the flight crew in an aircraft, equipment such as a protective or respiratory mask, and a storage box for such a mask.
- a protective mask is generally stored in a box called a storage box located next to the crewmember's position.
- FAR Aviation Regulations
- the mask may be put into place and supply oxygen to its wearer in less than 5 seconds, it is of the utmost importance that a crewmember rapidly reacts to grab the protective mask out of its storage box, and safely proceeds with any emergency measures.
- Flight simulations as well as actual accidents have shown that a crewmember may not think of donning his/her protective mask right after detection of the accident.
- the lights in the cockpit are generally turned off so that some crewmembers may rest while at least one other flies the aircraft.
- the awake crewmembers may find it difficult to locate rapidly the storage box as it cannot be easily distinguished in the darkness of the cockpit.
- a storage box in which is received a protective mask that can be easily seen and isolated by a crewmember among the different equipments in the cockpit.
- a storage box that can catch the crewmember's attention in case of emergency situation.
- the storage box can be easily detected in the environment surrounding the crewmember and the storage box itself. Furthermore, a triggering event is required to activate the signaling means, so that during normal cruising, the crewmember does not get distracted by the signaling means.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic of a storage box for a respiratory mask according to a first implementation of the invention
- FIG. 2 is a schematic of a storage box with a respiratory mask stored inside and its signaling means outside the box.
- FIG.1 A first implementation of the storage box according to the invention is shown in FIG.1.
- Storage box 13 in which is stored a respiratory mask (not shown) is equipped with signaling means 19 adapted to distinguish said storage box 13 from its environment.
- signaling means 19 it is essential for a crewmember to rapidly identify the storage box from the different equipments surrounding him/her. It is also important to remind the crewmember that donning of the mask is essential, as due to the emergency situation, the crewmember may proceed with the set of emergency measures without thinking of donning the respiratory device.
- the lack of oxygen at high altitude (in case of a cabin loss of pressure) or the presence of smoke may rapidly alter the capacities of a crewmember without mask.
- the signaling means may be a light, an alarm sound produced by a sound warning device, a vibrating device, or any suitable device that will allow the crewmember to think of removing the respiratory mask from the box and put it on.
- the signaling means 19 are activated upon occurrence of a triggering event in the aircraft.
- the triggering event may be a sudden drop of the cabin pressure, the presence of smoke in the cabin and/or cockpit or simply turning off the lights in the cockpit when flying by night, as mentioned earlier.
- sensors may be provided to measure the different parameters that can characterize an emergency situation or a situation wherein it is important to have a rapid access to the protective mask (night flights for example). Sensors may be either provided within or close to the storage box or available elsewhere in the aircraft, their signals being available on the aircraft bus system.
- an electronic circuit 20 or CPU is provided either in the storage box .or elsewhere in the aircraft to read the information related to the triggering event and activate said signaling means when appropriate.
- electronic unit 20 is adapted to read the signals coming from the different sensors and detect any evolution of these signals that may correspond to a triggerring event. Examples of sensors 50 as shown in FIG. 1 located close or within the storage box 13 are (but not limited to):
- a smoke detector to detect any occurrence of smoke or fumes in the cockpit, or
- a light sensor to detect any significant variation of the light in the cockpit, like when the lights are turned off by a crewmember for night flights or when no cockpit lights are on, when night falls.
- Other similar sensors (51 to 53 on FIG. 1) are generally provided within the aircraft and their signals are available from the aircraft bus. Additional devices may be available in the aircraft to detect any event linked to an emergency situation. Such devices (55 on FIG.1 ) are connected to the aircraft bus system and send a triggering signal representative of the event.
- Electronic circuit 20 is also adapted to active the signaling means 19 upon reading of such triggering signals available from the aircraft bus system.
- FIG.2 is an exemplary illustration of the first implementation of the storage box according to the invention.
- the protective equipment 4 is stored in storage box 13. This box is provided with two doors 11 and 12 respectively. Each door includes a notch 14 coinciding with the notch of the other door.
- Doors 11 and 12 form the access face of the storage box 13.
- Other access faces are also known for storage boxes, with two or more doors, with or without notches.
- the signaling means 19 are provided on one of the doors, here door 11 of the access face, but may be provided elsewhere on the storage box provided the crewmember's attention can be drawn to it.
- Signaling means 19 is connected to electronic circuit 20 provided in the illustration of FIG. 2 next to the storage box 13.
