Title:
WEBBING CUTTER AND METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006063198
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
A parachute webbing severing system and method (10) includes a heater (12), such as a nichrome wire, an etched foil heater, and a resistance heater or the like, disposed proximate the webbing (14). Upon activation, the heater (12) heats a portion of the parachute webbing (14) thereby reducing the strength of the parachute webbing (14) such that the tension applied against the parachute webbing (14) causes the parachute webbing (14) to sever. The heater (12) may be laminated, stitched, taped, taped, or molded to the parachute webbing (14).
