Title: Improvements in and relating to aircraft ejection seat assemblies
IPC: B64D25/10
Filed: 1969-05-13
Abstract: 1,269,854. Ejector seat. STENCEL AERO ENG. CORP. 13 May, 1969 [14 May, 1968], No. 24436/69. Heading B7G. An aircraft A has an ejector seat assembly with a snubbing line 12 connecting the aircraft A and seat 1, so that in operation, just before the line 12 becomes taut, it acts to release the pilot seat harness (4), Fig. 1 (not shown), and when it becomes taut it arrests the seat, thus ensuring pilot-seat separation. In a first embodiment the seat has a slip line-and-brake stabilizing device which includes four lengths of nylon cord stored in pouches 7, Fig. 6, and paid out via brake assemblies 6 to stabilize the seat during ejection, as described in U.S.A. Specification 3,103,331. The cords making up the slip line are slightly shorter than the snubbing line and are not attachad to the seat so that their free ends escape simultaneously from the brake assemblies 6 before the snubbing line 12 acts to arrest the seat 1. The snubbing line 12 consists of two cords which are attached by shearable links (16), Fig. 8 (not shown), to a snubbing line cable 15 which passes through a shearable securing bracket 23 and a lever attachment 22. As the snubbing line approaches taughtness it shears the bracket 23 and pivots via attachment 22, a lever 28 from the position shown in full lines to that shown in dotted lines to release the seat harness (4), Fig. 1 (not shown). The seat is then arrested by the snubbing line 12, thereby accomplishing pilot-seat separation and also shearing the links (16) so that the seat separates from the aircraft. Stop balls 25 ensure that the operation will still take place even if one of the cords is broken. In an alternative embodiment, Figs. 9 to 10 (not shown), the stabilizing slip line is dispensed with and separation is accomplished when the seat (1) is only just clear of the cockpit (C). One of the cords (62a) of the snubbing line is made shorter than the other and acts as a firing lanyard to fire a pyrotechnic device (55a) for releasing the harness. The line is made of nylon and " snatches back " the seat, thus improving separation. In a further embodiment the seat is mounted on rails and separation takes place with the seat still on the rails in the cabin.
