EMERGENCY OXYGEN SYSTEMS FOR INTERNAL CABINS OF AIRCRAFT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240343390 titled 'EMERGENCY OXYGEN SYSTEMS FOR INTERNAL CABINS OF AIRCRAFT
The patent application describes an emergency oxygen system for a vehicle cabin, including a housing with compartments, oxygen assemblies with masks and fluid conduits, and a moveable door with pouches for tubing retention.
- The system allows for the stowage and deployment of oxygen masks within the compartments of the housing.
- The door pivots outboard from a closed position to an open position during a deployment event.
- Pouches on the interior surface of the door secure coiled tubing of the fluid conduit when the mask is stowed.
- An alert device is operatively coupled to the oxygen assemblies to indicate oxygen flow to the mask.
Potential Applications: - Aircraft cabins - Emergency vehicles - Military vehicles
Problems Solved: - Providing quick access to emergency oxygen masks - Securing tubing to prevent tangling during deployment
Benefits: - Enhances passenger safety in emergency situations - Streamlines the deployment process for oxygen masks
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Emergency Oxygen System for Vehicle Cabins" This technology can be used in commercial aircraft, military vehicles, and emergency response vehicles to improve passenger safety and emergency preparedness.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system ensure the quick and efficient deployment of oxygen masks in emergency situations? 2. What materials are used in the construction of the housing and compartments for durability and reliability?
Original Abstract Submitted
an emergency oxygen system for an internal cabin of a vehicle includes a housing including one or more compartments. one or more oxygen assemblies include a mask and a fluid conduit. the mask is configured to be stowed within and deployed from the one or more compartments. a door is moveably secured to the housing. the door is configured to pivot in an outboard direction from a closed position to an open position during a deployment event. one or more pouches can be secured to an interior surface of the door. coiled tubing of the fluid conduit is retained by the one or more pouches when the mask is stowed within the one or more compartments. an alert device can be operatively coupled to the one or more oxygen assemblies. the alert device is configured to emit a response indicating that oxygen is flowing to the mask.
