Abstract:
1. A pressurized actuator system for deploying at least one inflatable structure, the system comprising: a primary source of pressurized fluid adapted for deploying an inflatable structure; a primary valve operatively associated with the primary source; a pressure-responsive primary transducer operative to activate the primary valve; and a secondary source of pressurized fluid adapted for operating the primary transducer and primary valve actuator to thereby activate the primary valve, the primary transducer comprises at least a cylinder, a piston head provided for movement in the cylinder and a piston element connected to the piston head for movement therewith, the piston element is adapted to operate the primary valve actuator when the pressurized fluid from the secondary source activates the piston head, so as to and deploy the at least one inflatable structure.
