Shelter to provide protection from nuclear fallout and/or war gas

摘要

A shelter to provide protection from nuclear fall-out and/or war gas has a flexible, inflatable envelope (1) containing its own life support system and being able to be stored in a collapsed condition until required. A sealable access (6) is provided and an over-pressure within the envelope can be maintained by means of a hand-operated air compressor (4) which draws in external air through an air inlet (5) and through a dust and war gas filter. The shelter can be divided into two chambers (7, 9) of which one can form an air-lock chamber between the access opening and the other chamber. Sanitary and decontamination equipment (11, 12) can be provided in the air-lock chamber. IMAGE
