Abstract: A portable device for inflating at least one envelope includes an inlet for surrounding air (1), at least one nonreturn valve, at least one compressed gas inlet (2), at least one intake chamber (3), at least one connection, such as an acceleration cone (5), with a longitudinal median symmetry axis (X, X?), arranged in the extension of at least one intake chamber (3), and connected to at least one inflatable envelope, and an intermediate chamber connecting at least one compressed gas inlet (2) to at least one intake chamber (3). The intermediate chamber and the at least one intake chamber (3) are separated by a wall arranged transversely to the axis (X, X?) and connected by at least one orifice located in the transverse wall (8).
