Claims18
An apparatus for absorbing shocks, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one inflatable member disposed in a moving object;
- an air conditioner module installed in the moving object having a refrigerant;
- and
- a supply pipe connected between the air conditioner module and the at least one inflatable member and providing the refrigerant of the air conditioner module to the at least one inflatable member;
- wherein the air conditioner module includes a refrigerant line circulating the refrigerant;
- wherein the supply pipe is connected to the refrigerant line via a first valve member;
- and
- wherein the first valve member is a three-way valve.
An apparatus for absorbing shocks, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one inflatable member disposed in a moving object;
- an air conditioner module installed in the moving object having a refrigerant;
- a supply pipe connected between the air conditioner module and the at least one inflatable member and providing the refrigerant of the air conditioner module to the at least one inflatable member;
- and
- a recovery pipe connected between the air conditioner module and the at least one inflatable member to recover the refrigerant of the at least one inflatable member to the air conditioner module.
An apparatus for absorbing shocks, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one inflatable member disposed in a moving object;
