Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for deploying an inflatable slide includes increasing pressure within the inflatable slide, increasing a load in a force releasing member and a dampener, both of which are attached to the inflatable slide, in response to the increasing pressure within the evacuation slide, the load being increased at a slower rate than would occur if the dampener were not present, separating the force releasing member, and inflating the inflatable slide.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for deploying an inflatable slide, comprising: increasing pressure within the inflatable slide; increasing a same load in a force releasing member and a dampener, both of which are attached to the inflatable slide, in response to the increasing pressure within the evacuation slide, the same load being increased at a slower rate than would occur if the dampener were not present; separating the force releasing member; and inflating the inflatable slide, wherein a first strap is coupled to the force releasing member at a first location, a second strap is coupled to the force releasing member at a second location, the dampener is coupled to the force releasing member, and the dampener is coupled in parallel with the second strap. 2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: stretching, by the dampener, in response to the same load. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the force releasing member separates in response to the same load. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the force releasing member separates in response to a predetermined pressure. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the force releasing member is attached to the inflatable slide at least two locations.
