  • Patent number: 4715562
    Abstract: This invention relates to a mechanism for automatically actuating a rescue device upon opening of a panel obturating an exit and bearing said rescue device, mechanism comprising a control bar connected to said rescue device and adapted, under the action of a voluntary actuating member, to be rendered fast either with said panel or with the periphery of said exit, with the result that opening of said panel does not bring about, or brings about, respectively, actuation of said rescue device via said control bar. According to the invention, this mechanism is characterized in that said control bar is fast in displacement with a mobile system controlled by said voluntary actuating member in order to subject said bar to a movement of translation parallel to itself, of direction at least substantially at right angles to said panel. The invention is more particularly applicable to the automatic control of escape slides, slide/rafts or the like in the event of an emergency.
