Abstract: A self-contained airliner passenger safety module. A module is preferably made of a lightweight material, such as fiberglass, capable of absorbing at least some of the energy generated when an airliner inadvertently impacts with the ground. Passenger seat bases are molded into the module and are provided with slots through which passenger safety belts are passed; thus, a passenger is belted directly to each module. Each seat back is further provided with a deployable safety member, such as an airbag. A module is also equipped with electricity, water, air conditioning, and a fire extinguisher at each end. A module is also provided with sealable doorways. The number of modules to be used in a given airliner is governed by the size and type of airliner in which the modules are to be placed. The modules are designed to be positioned in the interior of an airliner fuselage. They are secured to the floor of a fuselage with a series of graduated shear pins and anti-vibration hold down pins. In the event of an inadvertent airliner impact, the shear pins and hold down pins shear as the fuselage disintegrates and the airbags deploy. The energy vector changes caused by the impact permit the modules to be deployed away from the airliner, thereby increasing the chance of survival by the module's occupants.

Abstract translation: 一个独立的客机乘客安全模块。 模块优选地由诸如玻璃纤维的轻质材料制成，其能够吸收当客机无意中与地面碰撞时产生的至少一些能量。 乘客座椅基座模制成模块，并设有通过乘客安全带穿过的槽; 因此，乘客直接绑在每个模块上。 每个座椅靠背还设置有可展开的安全构件，例如气囊。 每个模块还配备有电，水，空调和灭火器。 模块还具有可密封的门口。 在给定客机中使用的模块数量由要安装模块的客机的尺寸和类型决定。 这些模块设计成位于机载机身内部。 它们固定在机身的地板上，配有一系列刻度剪切销和抗振动压脚。 在无意中的客机撞击的情况下，当机身分解并且安全气囊部署时，剪切销和压紧销剪切。 由冲击引起的能量矢量变化允许将模块部署在远离客机的地方，从而增加了模块乘员的生存机会。
