Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a landing aid for a parachutist, in particular for a tandem jump or landing with heavy equipment, having an air bag, which protects the parachutist during landing, wherein the air bag has an inflow opening through which air can flow into the air bag in order to fill it by means of the airstream. It is provided that the landing aid comprises a spring element, by means of which the inflow opening is held in the correct position with respect to the air flow and/or an unpacking process of the air bag is supported.
Claims21
Landing aid for a parachutist,
- comprising an air bag, which protects the parachutist during landing,
- wherein the air bag has an inflow opening through which air can flow into the air bag in order to fill it by means of the airstream,
- wherein
- the landing aid comprises a spring element, by means of which the inflow opening is held in the correct position with respect to the air flow, wherein the spring element comprises one or more second support regions with which it applies a counterforce to the inflow opening acting against the pressure of the airstream.
Landing aid for a parachutist,
- comprising an air bag, which protects the parachutist during landing,
- wherein the air bag has an inflow opening with a non-return valve through which air can flow into the air bag in order to fill it by means of the airstream,
- wherein
- the non-return valve has a flap valve element arranged inside the air bag, which is hinged to the air bag on one side and closes the inflow opening in the form of a flap when there is a corresponding pressure in the air bag.
Landing aid for a parachutist,
- comprising an air bag, which protects the parachutist during landing,
- wherein the air bag has an inflow opening through which air can flow into the air bag in order to fill it by means of the airstream,
- the landing aid further comprising a pannier firmly attached to the air bag, in which the air bag can be stowed, wherein the pannier comprises a release element for opening the pannier in flight and activating the air bag,
- wherein
- the landing aid comprises leg loops with which it can be attached to the legs of the parachutist in such a way that the pannier is attached in a region in front of or below the parachutist's crotch and the air bag extends backwards between the legs of the parachutist after opening.
