The aircraft emergency oxygen supply system includes one or more sources of supplemental breathable oxygen, one or more inlet valves for one or more breathing devices, connected to the inlet valves, and one or more cabin air pressure transducers. A pressure controller controls the inlet valves in response to the one or more cabin air pressure transducers. One or more second pressure transducers may connected to conduits downstream of inlet valves to be monitored, and the pressure controller may also control operation of the inlet valves in response to the one or more second pressure transducers.

System for regulating the dispensing of commercial aircraft passenger oxygen supply

The auxiliary breathing flow channel apparatus for an oxygen mask for pilots and crew of an airplane includes a flow control device with closed and open positions to regulate flow through an auxiliary channel. A pressure sensor such as an aneroid capsule automatically closes the auxiliary channel upon a decrease in cabin pressure. A handle also allows a user to manually move the flow regulating means to a closed position.

Breathing mask and regulator for aircraft

An emergency oxygen supply system for use on aircraft in the event of a loss in cabin pressure is configured for delivering allotments of oxygen and timing the delivery such allotments to each passenger so as maximize the efficiency of the transfer of such oxygen into the passenger's bloodstream. The delivery of each allotment is selected so that the entire allotment is available for inhalation into the region of the lung most efficient at oxygen transfer while the volume of the allotment is selected to substantially coincide with the volume of such region of the lung.

Oxygen conservation system for commercial aircraft

The oxygen generating compositions are formed from a metal powder as a fuel, strontium peroxide as a chlorine suppressant, a catalyst, a reaction rate modifier, and an oxygen source selected from the group consisting of alkali metal chlorates, alkali metal perchlorates, and mixtures thereof. The oxygen generating compositions can optionally also further comprise a transition metal oxide catalyst, and can optionally further include a binder as a pressing aid for forming an oxygen generating oxygen generating block or core. The oxygen generating compositions can be formed from zero to about 15% by weight of metal powder as a fuel, about 0.1%-20% by weight strontium peroxide, from zero to about 15% by weight of a transition metal oxide catalyst, from zero to about 5% of an optional binder, and the remainder of an oxygen source selected from the group consisting of alkali metal chlorates, alkali metal perchlorates, and mixtures thereof.

Strontium peroxide catalyzed oxygen generating compositions

The filter contains about 1-15% lithium hydroxide and about 85-99% hopcalite material, having a particle size of approximately 20 to 100 mesh, and can be used in combination with a chemical oxygen generator for removing chlorine gas and carbon monoxide.

Filter for chemical oxygen generators

An oxygen generator of an emergency chemical oxygen generating system is mounted on a sliding mechanism that displaces the oxygen generator vertically and horizontally away from the walls of the oxygen generator container when the door of the module is opened, in order to reduce the heating of the container walls and the surrounding areas. The sliding mechanism can be a telescoping assembly having multiple sliding segments, a slot in the side of the module wall with a tab attached to the generator such that the tab slides within the slot allowing for downward sliding of the generator, or an arrangement of channels and rollers. The movement of the generator from a stowed position to a use position can also initiate the flow of oxygen.

Emergency oxygen supply system for passengers in aircraft

The oxygen generation compositions include about 0.5-15% by weight of a substantially carbon-free metal fuel, and about 0.1-20% by weight of alkali metal silicate, stannate, titanate or zirconate as a reaction rate and core rheology modifier and chlorine suppresser. The oxygen generating compositions also contain about 0.1-15% by weight of a transition metal oxide catalyst; and the remainder is substantially an alkali metal chlorate or perchlorate.
