A control device including at least one control member for measuring an acceleration of an aircraft, for generating an inflation order, and for transmitting the inflation order to an inflation member, the inflation member serving to inflate at least one inflatable safety bag, the control device, the inflation member and the inflatable bag being arranged together on a single seat of the aircraft. Such a control device includes at least one readying system connected to the at least one control member, the readying system comprising: at least a first sensor suitable for continuously measuring a first current acceleration of the aircraft relative to at least one axis; and at least one switch that is controllable as a function of the first current acceleration of the aircraft as measured by the first sensor.

Aircraft having at least one control device for controlling inflation of an inflatable safety bag, and an associated method of controlling inflation of an inflatable safety bag

A protection device having a set of inflatable protection members including a neck airbag, a left lower airbag, a left upper airbag, a right lower airbag, and a right upper airbag. The protection device has a lower pocket provided with a lower base forming the neck airbag and two lower lateral branches forming the left lower airbag and the right lower airbag. An upper pocket at least partially secured to the lower pocket is provided with an upper base forming a head airbag and two upper lateral branches forming the left upper airbag and the right upper airbag. At least one longitudinal internal wall provide at least two 'tubes' in each upper airbag, the upper pocket being in fluid flow communication with the lower pocket.

Device for protecting an individual sitting on a seat, a seat, and a vehicle

A protective device () for protecting an occupant () of a vehicle (), said protective device comprising an airbag () and inflation means () for inflating said airbag (), the inflation means () being connected to the airbag () via a feed pipe () for feeding inflation fluid for the purpose of inflating the airbag () under predetermined conditions. This protective device further comprises expulsion means () for expelling said fluid, which expulsion means co-operate with at least one water detection means () so as to act when water is detected to remove said fluid resulting from inflation of the airbag (), said airbag () being provided with a peripheral elastic strap () for optimizing the deflation of said airbag () when said expulsion means () allow said fluid to be removed from the airbag ().

Protective device for protecting an occupant of a vehicle, a seat, and an associated vehicle

A protection device () having a set () of protection inflatable members () including left and right inflatable lateral means () that are suitable for co-operating respectively with the left and right shoulder straps (), said device () possessing an inflator () for inflating said protection inflatable members (). The device includes a headrest () carrying a nape airbag () of said set of inflatable members (), the nape airbag () including one passage () per inflatable lateral means () in order to convey fluid to each inflatable lateral means (), said headrest () being provided with a hollow support () carrying said inflator () and with a fluid diffusion box () arranged in the nape airbag () so as to convey a fluid from the inflator () to the nape airbag () and to the inflatable lateral means ().
