A system for deployment of a vacuum-packed inflatable structure includes a primary cylinder with a primary valve that can be opened under a primary applied force for discharging a primary pressurized fluid into the inflatable structure. A first connecting arrangement extends between the primary valve and an inflatable actuator bag. A secondary cylinder has a secondary valve movable under a secondary applied force for discharging a secondary pressurized fluid into the inflatable actuator bag. With this arrangement, application of the secondary force to the secondary valve causes the secondary cylinder to inflate the inflatable actuator bag. This in turn causes the first connecting arrangement to open the primary value with the primary applied force and inflate the inflatable structure.

Deployment system for inflatable structures

An arrangement for deployment of an inflatable structure consisting of a pressurized container, a cable and a cable guide block. At least one conduit extends within the cable guide block. The cable is positioned for guided movement within the conduit. Such guided movement of the cable within the conduit under the applied pull force causes activation of the pressurized container and inflation of the inflatable structure by the pressurized fluid.
