  • Patent number: 11884407
    Abstract: A parachute device includes a parachute, a parachute accommodation section configured to accommodate the parachute, at least one flying body including a flying body main body section connected to the parachute, and a gas generating device configured to generate gas. The parachute device further includes an ejection section configured to eject the flying body, and a lead wire configured to ignite the gas generating device. The flying body main body section is engaged with the ejection section, the gas generating device is disposed in an internal space defined by the ejection section and the flying body main body section, and the lead wire is led out from the internal space in a different direction from an ejection direction of the flying body in a state with one end connected to the gas generating device.

  • Patent number: 11772803
    Abstract: A device is provided for preventing a parachute from being damaged. A parachute device (4) includes a flying body (43) including a parachute (400), a parachute accommodation section (40) configured to accommodate the parachute, at least one flying body (43) connected to the parachute, an ejection section (41) having a tube shape and configured to hold the flying body and to eject the held flying body, a gas generating device (60) configured to generate gas, and an extrusion member (42) capable of being at least partially inserted into the ejection section, the extrusion member being configured to extrude the flying body from the ejection section due to receiving pressure of the gas generated from the gas generating device.
