049141000 | WITH SPECIFIED MEANS TO EFFECT EMERGENCY RELEASE TO CLOSURE | 9 |
20090000199 | Breakaway door panel system - The present invention is generally concerned with a breakaway door panel system comprising an impact resistant panel pivotally assembled to a pair of connecting members mountable to a door adjacent a first end and a second end of the panel respectively, and at least one impact releasable panel locking device comprising a first compliant holding element mounted at an end of the panel, a second complementary compliant holding element mounted to one of the connecting member adjacent the panel end, and a connecting bar releasably connecting the first holding element to the second holding element, whereby, when an impact force of at least a predetermined strength in applied to the panel, the bars are extracted from at least one of their respective holding elements, leaving the panel break away from the door, pivoting in the direction of the impact force. | 01-01-2009 |
20110010997 | Storm and guard shutter assembly for building external opening with quick emergency escape mechanism - A quick emergency escape mechanism for a shutter assembly for a building external opening has an engaging wall member adapted to be secured to a base coupled to a building structure in the vicinity of a building opening. The engaging wall member has an engaging part and a part for securing to the building structure. An engaging shutter member is adapted to be secured to a shutter panel and has an engaging part and a securing part for securing to a shutter panel. An engaging sliding latch member fastens and locks the engaging parts of the wall and shutter members and has fastening means and locking means. | 01-20-2011 |
20110289850 | Emergency egress assembly embedded in a vehicle door - A vehicle emergency egress assembly, including a vehicle door with an opening cut out or otherwise provided, to serve as an egress portal in case of emergency when the vehicle door is difficult to open using the ordinary latching and unlatching mechanism provided for routine entrance and exit from the vehicle. The opening is cut (or otherwise provided) where a transparent armor window would ordinarily be provided, but additional portions of the door are cut out as needed to allow for egress through the opening by a vehicle occupant. A windowed plug is then provided, for releasably plugging the opening. Finally, an interiorly accessible release mechanism is provided, including one or more handles for releasing the plug from the opening. The plug includes a body portion in addition to a window portion. The body portion has a stepped periphery that is held against a stepped periphery of the opening by latches coupled to the one or more handles and extending across the perimeter of the body portion of the plug onto corresponding latch receivers disposed around the opening on the inside surface of the vehicle door. | 12-01-2011 |
20120085033 | EMERGENCY JETTISON WINDOW PANE AND ASSOCIATED EJECTION SYSTEM - The invention concerns an ejection system for a window pane or panel which is affixed to a frame structure with at least one clamping seal. The system has means for ejecting the panel or window pane from the clamping seal and (a) a frame part with a housing which surrounds the inner face of the window pane or panel along a peripheral path, wherein the housing has an open end facing the window pane or panel; (b) an inflatable seal arranged in the housing; (c) a pressure source which is joined to the inflatable seal; and (d) an emergency actuation means to release pressure from the gas pressure source. The released air or gas expands the inflatable seal which pushes the window pane or panel out of the clamping seal. | 04-12-2012 |
20120227324 | EMERGENCY OPENING SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE DOOR OR WINDOW - A system for emergency opening of a door or window of a vehicle comprises an opening mechanism for forcing the door or window to open by means of pressure of hydraulic fluid, and an unlocking mechanism, which by means of hydraulic fluid is configured to unlock a lock of the door or window. The system may be connected to the brake system of a vehicle. | 09-13-2012 |
20130097930 | AIRCRAFT HATCH EMERGENCY OPENING ACTUATOR INCLUDING OPENING DELAY MEANS - An aircraft hatch emergency opening actuator includes a cylinder connected to the hatch at one of its ends and at its other end to a reference frame of the aircraft. Fluid is fed to the cylinder for emergency opening of the hatch by a device able to adopt two positions. In a rest position the fluid is isolated from the cylinder, and in an active position the fluid is injected into a fluid circuit. A device for delaying the injection of the fluid into the cylinder includes a mobile element in the fluid circuit delaying opening of the circuit when the injection device is in the active position, the injection delay being determined by a time of movement of the mobile element. | 04-25-2013 |

20160017650 | ARMORED VEHICLE DOOR RELEASE SYSTEM - A door release system for a tactical armored vehicle having a vehicle door frame with a receptacle and a vehicle door hinged to the frame is disclosed comprising a pair of releasable hinge bodies carried by the door. The hinge bodies include a head portion for abutting an area of the door frame surrounding the receptacle. A plug portion fits within the frame receptacle, and a lock portion follows the plug portion. An end portion follows the lock portion and is dimensioned smaller than the frame receptacle. A hinge release assembly includes a latch means for locking the hinge bodies in place in the receptacles to prevent removal of the hinge bodies in a locked position. An actuator disengages said means to release said hinge bodies for removal from said door frame and vehicle in a hazardous situation. | 01-21-2016 |
