Safety device applicable to one-piece suits (jumpsuits) used in sport

摘要

Safety device consisting of a one-piece suit made of strong material, with double-walled zones in the arms, legs and chest forming chambers which can be inflated via a box in which is mounted a set of compressed-air cylinders, adjustable using an elastic belt and in which box there is a cam shaft having as many support cradles as there are canisters in the set, to cause them to descend at the right time until their closure mouths impact on opening punches, allowing the air to escape into a collector, from where it is distributed via ducts to the inflatable zones of the one-piece suit, the cam shaft descending under the effect of an eccentric cam actuated by a connecting rod which is coupled at its upper end to the end of a traction cable, fastened at its other end to a fixed point of the vehicle in question so that in the event of an accident and ejection of the user, the one-piece suit inflate and provide the desired protection.
