Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2007073897
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a safety system for reducing the impact energy of a container (2; 9) for an aircraft. In this arrangement the safety system comprises an aircraft cargo hold (10) with at least one safety wall (1); an accommodation device (4); and at least one airbag (3). The accommodation device (4) can be affixed to the safety wall (1), wherein the accommodation device (4) is designed to accommodate the at least one airbag (3). In the case of a movement of the container (2; 9), the at least one airbag (3) can be activated so that air can be injected into the airbag (3) so that some of the impact energy of the container (2; 9) can be absorbed by means of the at least one activated airbag (3), with the remaining forces then being distributed over an area of the at least one safety wall (1).
