Abstract: Oxygen-delivery systems are described. The systems may supply emergency respiratory gas on demand to aircraft passengers. To reduce risk of blockage of tubes delivering anti-blocking gas to the face masks worn by the passengers, the systems may be designed to provide a continuous trickle flow of respiratory gas, or one or more anti-blocking pulses of gas, into a delivery tube.

Abstract: A respiratory equipment for an aircraft, a pilot or first officer of the aircraft forming a user of the respiratory equipment, the respiratory equipment comprising a head armature, configured to be worn on the user's head, a respiratory mask configured to be applied, in a use position around the mouth and nose of a user, an inflatable harness configured to be coupled to a pressurized gas source, an inflation of the inflatable harness causing an extension of the inflatable harness such that the respiratory mask can be brought opposite the mouth and nose of a user, and a purge of the inflatable harness causing a constrained application of the inflatable harness against the mouth and nose of a user, wherein the head armature comprises at least an occipital member, and a front cradle for receiving and lodging the respiratory mask in a waiting position, wherein the inflatable harness is fixed to the occipital member and the inflatable harness is coupled to the respiratory mask.
Abstract: A system for delivering breathing gas to passengers on-board an aircraft, including: a source of breathing gas, at least one face mask for passengers, a reservoir associated with each face mask, a delivery valve for each face mask, the delivery valve being disposed between the source of breathing gas and the reservoir, the reservoir being disposed between the delivery valve and the face mask, a sensor associated with each reservoir and configured to sense a filling of the reservoir, and a controller configured to control the delivery valve in a continuous supply mode to provide a continuous flow of breathing gas to the reservoir and to interrupt the continuous flow of breathing gas when the filing sensed by the sensor is a filling threshold.
