  • Patent number: 6915626
    Abstract: A blanking-plug system for blanking off an orifice of a pipe, particularly for blanking off an orifice of a duct for introducing air into the combustion chamber of a ramjet. The blanking-plug system (16) comprises at least one blanking plug (15) comprising a glass plate (18) which is able to completely blank off said orifice (8) of the pipe (7); and at least one device (17) for destroying said glass plate (18) of said blanking plug (15). Said blanking plug (15) additionally comprises a plurality of elastomer protective elements (21) which are fixed on at least one first face (22) of said glass plate (18) which is likely to be subject to attack, these elements being separated from one another by a predetermined maximum distance at most, and completely covering said first face (22).

  • Patent number: 6725664
    Abstract: A shut-off system for an orifice of a duct, particularly for an orifice of an air inlet passage that allows air into the combustion chamber of a ramjet, includes a shutter for shutting off the orifice of the duct, and a controllable actuating device capable of acting on the shutter to uncover the orifice. The shutter includes a removable cap which is held on the duct and a locking device which keeps the cap on the duct by at least one locked jaw, which is unlockable. The actuating device includes at least one controllable striker which is capable of unlocking the jaw in such a way as to cause the cap to be ejected from the duct and to uncover the orifice.
