Multi-point suspension of a localisation and measurement reflector on a parachute, and a device for connecting the corners of a localisation and measurement reflector which can be folded and is assembled from plate-shaped parts, and for mounting and suspension on a balloon and/or a parachute

摘要

The invention relates to a multi-point suspension of a reflector on a parachute, and a device for connecting the corners of a reflector which can be folded and is assembled from plate-shaped parts, and for mounting on a balloon and/or parachute. In order to avoid the risk of a connecting device becoming detached, and in order to simplify the fitment to a parachute, a triangular, right-angled moulded part is proposed which has identical limbs and is separated along the vertical line, and whose two triangular parts are connected such that they can pivot at the tip which is provided with a mounting element. The outer sides of the triangular parts are used for holding reflector corner parts. The moulded part has locking elements by means of which the connecting device can be connected firmly to the reflector, but such that it can be detached. In another embodiment, the triangular parts can pivot about the vertical line; they are provided with a locking device to which a locking device in the reflector part is allocated. In consequence, this connecting device can likewise be connected firmly to the reflector but such that it can be detached. For reflector parts which can pivot, further locking tabs are fitted which can be inserted through corresponding slots in the reflector. IMAGE
