An airbag device for a portable system for people, comprising
- an inflatable balloon,
- a gas generator,
- a venturi system connectable on the one hand to the gas generator and on the other hand to the inflatable balloon, and
- a cover containing at least the inflatable balloon and having fixing elements provided to be connected in a removable manner with complementary elements of the portable system for people,
- wherein the inflatable balloon is arranged in the cover and wherein the cover comprises a closure of the Velcro type or of the zip type or of the press-studs type intended to permit the cover to be fixed on the support of the portable system for people by means of a closure of the Velcro type or of the zip type or of the press-studs type provided thereon, such that once it is fixed, the closure of the cover is open.
A portable airbag system for people, comprising a support intended to be worn by a user, and an airbag device comprising at least one inflatable bag having at least one central part configured to be disposed behind the head of a user after triggering, wherein the airbag device is assembled in a cover or bag part forming a unit configured to be disposed entirely on the back of a user before deployment, the airbag device being fixed by means of a fixing device in a removable manner and separable from the support.
An airbag device for a portable system for people, comprising an inflatable balloon, a gas generator, and a venturi system connectable on the one hand to the gas generator, and on the other hand having an outlet inserted in an opening of the inflatable bag, the venturi system comprising an aspiration part with openings for the passage of exterior air drawn by the venturi system during its deployment, wherein the outlet is in the form of a tube and the opening of the inflatable bag has fabric fixed by a clamping ring around the exterior of the tube, the body of the venturi system being disposed in a manner lying against the surface of the inflatable bag.
An airbag device for a portable system for people, comprising an inflatable bag, a gas generator, a triggering system, and a triggering handle device comprising a handle part connected to an interaction element, connected to the triggering system, the interaction means being fixed to a pivoting body pivotably mounted to the handle part, the handle device further comprising a locking device configured to lock the handle part in a transverse position to the interaction means.
An airbag device for a portable system for people, comprising an inflatable bag, a gas generator, and a triggering device for triggering the gas generator, the triggering device comprising a triggering point with a spring or pushing the point, the spring being in compression before triggering and retained by a trigger element, the trigger element comprising a retention member engaged in a removable blocking element, the blocking element being retained by the retention member in a position permitting a gas generator to be mounted to the triggering device, and when the trigger element has been moved to a deployment position, the retention member releases the blocking element which is configured to be moved in a position blocking the assembly of the gas generator to the triggering device.
An airbag device for a portable system for people, comprising an inflatable bag, a gas generator, and a triggering device for the triggering of the gas generator, the triggering device comprising a triggering point with a spring for pushing the point, the spring being in compression before triggering and retained by a trigger element, the triggering point comprising lateral passages configured to prevent a jack effect during the percussion of the gas generator.
A support intended to be worn by a user for a portable airbag system for people, in the form of a backpack or jacket comprising a reinforced area fixed on an edging of a part of the back of the backpack or of the jacket so as to use the naturally reinforced areas of a backpack or of a jacket, the reinforced area comprising fasteners configured to be attached in a removable manner to fixing elements integral with the inflatable balloon of the said airbag system, permitting the use of the backpack or of the jacket with or without the airbag system by the end user or in the form of a backpack or jacket comprising an edging, and that at least two or four individual fasteners, spaced along the edging, preferably along the upper part and/or lower part of the edging, configured to be attached in a removable manner to fixing elements integral with the inflatable balloon and/or the cover of the airbag system, are fixed on or in the edging permitting the use of the backpack with or without the airbag system by the end user.
A support intended to be worn by a user for a portable airbag system for people, in the form of a backpack or jacket, where at the site of the junction of the dorsal wall of the backpack or of the jacket with a shoulder strap or with the front of the jacket above the part of the base strap of the shoulder strap or of the fabric of the front of the jacket a hole is provided of a sufficient dimension to permit the handle of the triggering arrangement of the airbag system to pass, wherein the said triggering arrangement can be concealed by a cover at least semi-openable on the shoulder strap or the front of the jacket.
