Abstract:
Extinguishing a fire by pressurizing a tank containing an extinguishing liquid. According to the invention, the tank containing the liquid is provided with an expulsion outlet at a front end, a gas generator (17) is installed at a rear end, and a diaphragm forming an inflatable bag (19) is installed inside the tank, being folded prior to triggering in a confinement space at the front of the gas generator, the outlet from the generator being associated with a deflector (47) including a rearwardly-directed ejection passage (49).

Abstract:
A device for rapidly separating two subassemblies under the action of a pyrotechnic gas generator. The device comprises a segmented nut (17) held by a release sleeve (40) that is movable under the action of the gas generator (15), a drive chamber (64) including an end wall of the release sleeve, a damping chamber (66) communicating with a gas expansion chamber (60), and calibrated passages (70) extending between the damping chamber and the drive chamber.
