  • Maneuverable parachute
    Patent number: 4638961
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polymaneuverable canopy and to a process for its control by a parachutist. This canopy comprises windows distributed symmetrically in relation to a main plane of symmetry XY, and control lines connecting together the various windows in such a manner that a pull on one line (3) causes a rotation of the canopy to the right, while a pull on two lines (3, 4) causes a braking or rearward displacement of the canopy when the lines are situated one on each side of the plane of symmetry, and a pull on two lines (3, 5) situated on the same side of the plane of symmetry XY brings about a straight lateral displacement of the canopy.

  • Retractile support unit for an arresting cable disposed across a take-off or landing strip for aircraft
    Patent number: 4441672
    Abstract: Actuators transversally movable through a reciprocable mechanical connection, under the control of a single unit disposed at one side of the strip are housed within a channel provided across the strip. Each actuator comprises a cam having an inclined plane and a cable support constantly engaging the inclined plane and adapted to pivot about an axis parallel to the cable axis, so that the raising of the cable support causes the cable to be raised while being off set in relation to its retraction channel.
