    摘要: A collapsible fire fighting bucket to be suspended from an aircraft and to be filled from an open body of water. The bucket has two means for adjusting the capacity thereof to accomodate load carrying capacity of the aircraft. One means includes sidewall stiffening means in the bucket sidewall which bulge outwardly under load. The second means includes an adjusting means around the side wall for adjustably restricting the circumference thereof and thereby reducing the capacity of the bucket. A bucket assembly comprising a main bucket and a booster bucket is used for filling from shallow water. The booster bucket empties into the main bucket on lifting to give the main bucket a better fill.

    摘要: Applicator for applying transverse traction sections to an automobile tire having a toothed cog mounted on the outer surface of the hub at each of the openings between the hub and rim, which are connected in driving engagement with a manually operated worm-gear drive unit, the lead of the worm being such as to lock the cog against rotation of its own accord. A perforated steel ribbon slidably extends out of one end of a sheath secured diametrically across the wheel hub, and passes over and in meshing engagement with the cog and extends through a channel secured to the rim at the opening. The steel ribbon is so arranged so that when the cog is operated to extend the steel ribbon out of the sheath, the lead end of the ribbon will curl around the tire from the inside to the outside so as to enable one end of a traction section to be secured thereto and then drawn over the tire by retracting the ribbon into the sheath. The other end of the traction section is then secured to a hook disposed on the outer side of the rim.

    摘要: Rescue apparatus for rescuing a person in water has a body with inflatable pontoons interconnected by an upwardly bowed upper connector and a downwardly bowed lower connector to provide an opening between the pontoons to receive the person. Thrusters cooperate with the lower connector below the surface, and receive power and control signals to control movement of the apparatus on the surface. A net enclosure encloses the pontoons and connectors and has an opening adjacent one end to receive the person. The upper portion of the apparatus is lighter than the lower portion, to provide a low center of gravity for self-righting if the apparatus becomes inadvertantly inverted. Self-righting can be assisted by providing inflatable flotation cooperating with the upper connector. The connectors are shaped to fit closely adjacent each other to reduce storage volume of the collapsed apparatus when the pontoons are deflated. The apparatus is designed for storage within a helicopter, and can be retrieved from the water by a helicopter with a lifting line positioned so as to permit relatively easy unloading of the person from the apparatus into the helicopter. The apparatus can be used also from ships, oil drilling rigs etc. The folded or collapsed apparatus can be thrown onto water, and it inflates and erects automatically without manual intervention.

    摘要: Inflatable or pneumatic float assembly has tough outer fabric tubular shell with an upper wall having a first elongated sleeve extending therealong to receive an elongated stiffening member. A lower wall of the float is stiffener by stiffeners to provide a step having an essentially upright transversely extending step wall. The float has a plurality of internal baffles which form inflatable compartments within the float, preferable to receive air filled bladders. The elongated stiffening member extending through the first sleeve has exposed portions to provide access for attachment means which cooperate with the exposed portions to permit the stiffening member to cooperate with an aircraft undercarriage. Wheels can be provided to permit the aircraft to be amphibious for landing on land as well as water, with various structures to permit changing relative positions of the wheels and the floats. Air pressure within the floats is such that the float provides a resilient suspension to provide a smoother ride when moving on choppy water or to resiliently mount the wheels in one wheeled embodiment.

    摘要: Rescue apparatus for rescuing a person in water has a body with inflatable pontoons interconnected by upper and lower frames to provide an opening between the pontoons to receive the person. Thrusters cooperate with the lower frame below the surface, and receive power and control signals to control movement of the apparatus on the surface. A net enclosure encloses the pontoons and frames and has an opening adjacent one end to receive the person. The upper portion of the apparatus is lighter than the lower portion, preferably by having the upper frames inflatable, to provide a low center of gravity for self-righting if the apparatus becomes inadvertently inverted. The lower frame can include two generally U-shaped frame members which are shaped to fit one within the other to reduce storage volume of the collapsed apparatus when the pontoons are deflated. The apparatus is designed for storage within a helicopter, and can be retrieved from the water by a helicopter with a lifting line positioned so as to permit relatively easy unloading of the person from the apparatus into the helicopter. The apparatus can be used also from ships, oil drilling rigs etc.

    摘要: A collapsible liquid container apparatus, particularly for use with helicopters for carrying and storing fuel, has a bladder-like tank having closable ports to admit and discharge fuel. The apparatus has a frame to support the tank, and a harness cooperating with the tank and the frame to suspend the tank from the frame. Preferably, the frame has three legs and the tank is suspended between the three legs, and is restrained against excessive lateral movement relative to the frame. The harness includes a plurality of flexible tension links which extend from peripherally spaced locations on the tank. The locations are within a generally horizontal plane positioned approximately mid-way between uppermost and lowermost portions of the tank when filled to permit an upper portion of the tank to collapse inside a lower portion of the tank as the tank empties. The tank is suspended clear of obstructions on the ground, thus reducing chances of rupture, and when filled is easily transported beneath a helicopter due to its symmetrical shape. When emptied, it can be folded into a small volume and stored inside the helicopter.

    摘要: Collapsible fire fighting bucket is suspended from helicopter and filled from a lake. The bucket has a tubular extension with a discharge port extending from its bottom for dumping water onto the fire. The extension can be released from and withdrawn into the bucket by remote control, and a lip seal around the discharge port closes automatically to minimize leakage from the full bucket. Stiffeners in the side wall of the bucket adapt the bucket to the desired capacity without the use of conventional spill ports.
