Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and system to provide an electrical connection and a releasable attachment includes a girt sleeve having a plurality of lacings, wherein at least one lacing of the plurality of lacings is an electrically conductive lacing, and a girt having a plurality of openings to receive the plurality of lacings, wherein the girt sleeve and the girt are in electrical communication via the electrically conductive lacing when releasably attached.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An attachment device comprising: a girt sleeve having a plurality of lacings, wherein at least one lacing of the plurality of lacings is an electrically conductive lacing; and a girt having a plurality of openings to receive the plurality of lacings, wherein the girt sleeve and the girt are in electrical communication via the electrically conductive lacing when releasably attached. 2. The attachment device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of openings each have a respective conductive grommet. 3. The attachment device of claim 1 , wherein the girt sleeve is formed of a conductive coated fabric. 4. The attachment device of claim 1 , wherein the girt is formed of a conductive coated fabric. 5. The attachment device of claim 1 , wherein the electrically conductive lacing is formed of a conductive coated fabric. 6. The attachment device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of lacings are releasably attached to the plurality of openings via a pull-pin. 7. A method to provide an electrical connection and a releasable attachment, comprising: providing a girt sleeve having a plurality of lacings, wherein at least one lacing of the plurality of lacings is an electrically conductive lacing; receiving the plurality of lacings via a girt having a plurality of openings; releasably attaching the girt sleeve and the girt via the plurality of lacings; and electrically connecting the girt sleeve and the girt via the electrically conductive lacing. 8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of openings each have a respective conductive grommet. 9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the girt sleeve is formed of a conductive coated fabric. 10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the girt is formed of a conductive coated fabric. 11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the electrically conductive lacing is formed of a conductive coated fabric. 12. The method of claim 7 , further comprising releasably attaching the plurality of lacings to the plurality of openings via a pull-pin. 13. An evacuation system comprising: a packboard; an evacuation device releasably attached to the packboard via an attachment device, the attachment device comprising: a girt sleeve having a plurality of lacings, wherein the girt sleeve is coupled to the packboard and at least one lacing of the plurality of lacings is an electrically conductive lacing; a girt having a plurality of openings to receive the plurality of lacings, wherein the girt is coupled to the evacuation device, and the girt sleeve and the girt are in electrical communication via the electrically conductive lacing when releasably attached. 14. The evacuation system of claim 13 , wherein the plurality of openings each have a respective conductive grommet. 15. The evacuation system of claim 13 , wherein the girt sleeve is formed of a conductive coated fabric. 16. The evacuation system of claim 13 , wherein the girt is formed of a conductive coated fabric. 17. The evacuation system of claim 13 , wherein the electrically conductive lacing is formed of a conductive coated fabric. 18. The evacuation system of claim 13 , wherein the plurality of lacings are releasably attached to the plurality of openings via a pull-pin. 19. The evacuation system of claim 13 , wherein the evacuation device is an inflatable slide.
