Patent ID: 7744155

Claim:
A protection system against a fatal effect of vertical accelerations on an object which is supported in a cabin ( 2 ), or on a person ( 3 ), in which a supporting unit ( 7 ) provided for this, having a supporting surface for the object ( 3 ), is held movable by means of a vertical running guide ( 18 ) and is coupled to a longitudinally variable damping device ( 11 ), which is connected to a wall ( 4 ) of the cabin ( 2 ) through a carrying equipment ( 6 ), in which the supporting unit ( 7 ) is held transversally movable in a transversal guide ( 19 ) in addition to its guidance in the vertical running guide ( 18 ), wherein the vertical running guide ( 18 ) and the transversal guide ( 19 ) are provided with vertical offset from each other in the carrying equipment ( 6 ) so that the supporting unit ( 7 ) executes both a downward as well as a tilting movement relative to this during loading through vertical acceleration of the cabin ( 2 ), in which the carrying equipment ( 6 ) is connected to its roof structure ( 4 ), so that a vertical acceleration acting on the floor area ( 10 ) of the cabin ( 2 ) and transmitted to its roof structure ( 4 ) is transmitted from this to the carrying equipment ( 6 ).
