  • Aspirators with bodies comprising wound filaments
    Patent number: 8322996
    Abstract: Aspirators for inflating devices such as (but not limited to) aircraft evacuation slides and rafts are detailed. Housings of the aspirators may be made of wound filaments of composite materials, reducing their weight as compared to conventional metal structures. Such actions as reconfiguring and repositioning jet nozzles within the housings also contribute to enhancing performance of the aspirators.

  • Turbo fan aspirator
    Patent number: 6591873
    Abstract: An aspirator assembly for enabling rapid inflation of evacuation slides and life rafts is configured for direct attachment to the inflatable article. The aspirator assembly comprises an open-ended body housing, a nozzle arrangement for introducing a pressurized fluid into the aspirator and toward a pair of counter-rotating impeller arrangements. The counter-rotating impeller arrangements allow for minimizing the internal forces to enable the stable mounting of the aspirator to the inflatable article without causing damage to the article material during operation.
