摘要:
An apparatus and method to improve the safety of static line parachute jumping are disclosed. According to the method, a safety device situated on a jumper continuously or periodically senses the distance of the jumper from the jumping platform (e.g. an aircraft). The safety device compares this distance to a predetermined distance threshold. When the distance between the jumper and the jumping platform reaches or exceeds the predetermined distance threshold, the safety device enables the reserve parachute deployment device which automatically deploys the reserve parachute if at such time the jumper's rate-of-descent is at or greater than a predetermined rate-of-descent threshold. Thus, the apparatus enables its reserve parachute deployment portion when the jumper is at least a predetermined distance from the jumping platform.

A separable cord connection structure of a parachute, wherein it has a separable cord 11 for being anchored to the airplane via or not via a static cord, a main cord 13 unreleasably fastened to the canopy top of the parachute, and a deployment bag 5 for packing said parachute, and said separable cord 11 has two loops of separable cords 112,113 formed to face each other, and on the other hand, two intersecting coupling loops 141, 142 are formed across one upper end to the other upper end fastened thereto on the side of the separable cord of said deployment bag, characterized in that a rigid pin 12 passes through the loops of the two separable cords, further, passing through the loops formed by the intersection of said coupling loops, further, passing through a metallic guide in the separable cords, and one end part is temporarily fastened to the separable cords, the other end part is connected to the main cord, and said main cord has a branch 131, and said branch is fastened to the pack.Since said coupling loop and separable cord loops are arranged in order so as to be separated from each other by using a rigid pin and a metallic guide, this structure has such an advantage as said coupling loop and separable cord loops and main cord are not in danger of getting entangled.

摘要:
This line release is particularly adapted for pulling a releasing line connected to the actuator of a survival kit, has a base which is adapted to be sewn or fixedly secured to one of the straps of a parachute harness, and has a hole through which the actuating line is inserted. The line is secured to a ring in an open recess in the base engageable by a finger to pull the line for actuation. A pivoted spring pressed locking disk is in the bottom of the recess and projects into the ring so as to obstruct and prevent the pulling of the ring unless the disk is first pushed out of the ring.
摘要:
A system and method of deploying a parachute system, wherein the system functions with a timed delay or without a timed delay. The system can include a primary static line and a release-away line, wherein the primary static line is connected to a main chute and also to a soft link. The soft link can be cut by a cutter, thereby releasing the parachute system from an aircraft. Alternatively, the primary static line may contain a cable, wherein the cable features a three or more loop assembly that allows for release of the primary static line from the aircraft. The system may also utilize a three ring assembly or other mechanical actuation device. The system may include a drogue chute as well as a main chute.

A releasable deployment line for a parachute system is provided. The releasable deployment line may include a first segment of material including an aircraft end configured to be operably connected to an aircraft, and a release end configured to be operably connected to a first section of a multi-ring release system. The replaceable deployment line may further include a second segment of material including a container end configured to be operably connected to a parachute container, and a ring end configured to be operably connected to a second section of the multi-ring release system and a third segment of material. The third segment of material may include a parachute end configured to be operably connected to a parachute within the parachute container, and a pin end configured to be operably connected to a retaining pin associated with the first section of the multi-ring release system.
摘要:
Disclosed are various embodiments for an electromagnetic automatic deactivation device (ADD). An ADD may be used with an ejector-spring static line reserve parachute, common in low-altitude military jumps. Activating a reserve parachute from within an aircraft, while being towed by an aircraft, or when trapped inside another parachute, can result in significant injury, and may be fatal. An ADD may be added to the internal packaging of a reserve parachute to prevent its accidental activation. An ADD may be configured to sense ambient pressure, linear and rotational motion, and other data, to identify hazardous environmental conditions. An ADD may be further configured to support a towed jumper whose static line is cut, by strategically deactivating the electromagnetic assembly, and therefore activating the reserve parachute. The ADD may be modified to include the ability to override the ADD with a secondary pull on the ripcord handle.

摘要:
A parachute arrangement comprising a parachute having a canopy, a plurality of shroud lines coupled to the canopy, and a plurality of connectors (23) coupled to the shroud lines for attachment to a load; and a packaging (10) for the parachute, the packaging comprising an enclosure formed of a web material, wherein each of the shroud lines and/or connectors is engaged with the enclosure to thereby maintain the connectors in a spaced-apart arrangement for attachment to the load.
摘要:
A self inflating escape pod in the form of a vest to be worn by an individual to protect their body from a fall when they jump from a high rise building. The vest has a battery, altimeter, motion sensor, bladders and means for inflating the bladders. Removal of the vest from a storage cabinet activates the altimeter which activates the motion detector upon detecting a change in altitude. Upon sensing motion, the motion detector activates inflation of the bladders, forming a pod surround the individual's body. Air channels in the pod provide air to the individual and the pod is designed to accommodate different sizes of individuals. Beacons and reflectors on the pod assist in locating it, and one or more of the bladders will automatically deflate once the individual has stopped falling.
