Title:
AIRLINE SEAT PARACHUTE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004037640
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A parachute (10) is stored within the specially configured seat back (14) of each passenger seat of a commercial aircraft, behind a removable front upholstery panel (3). The parachute harness extends outwardly from the concealed parachute, through and beyond the periphery of the removable panel, for donning by the seated passenger. An openable upper cover (32) extends over the top of the concealed parachute. When the parachute is needed, the passenger (having previously donned the parachute harness) pulls forward from the seat to release the front upholstery panel from the seat back to pull the parachute free, and escapes from the aircraft. In the event the seat structure separates from the aircraft, the still seated passenger opens the top flap of the seat back to access the parachute rip cord (76).
