Abstract: The stressing of zippers for closing leg portions of pilot's pants having integrated an inflatable bladder and having two leg portions that can be opened and closed by zippers extending in a longitudinal direction from the thigh area to the shin area is avoided by providing the leg portions with two individual zippers for the thigh area and the shin area, whereby the zippers are provided with sliding pieces that for a closing action are moved toward the foot section of the pilot's pants and whereby in the bending area of the knee of the wearer the individual zippers have between them an abutment zone.

Abstract: A casing for parachutes adapted to set down a load, said parachutes having a parachute canopy, shroud lines, and a carrying harness attached thereto for the load. To simplify manufacture and shorten packing time, and to make it particularly suitable for accommodating a parachute that is adapted to set down a rapidly rotating load, the casing comprises at least two substantially flat fabric sections (11, 12) arranged one above the other and joined together at their outer edges by an encircling seam (14), with one fabric section having a central opening (17).

Abstract: In a missile for setting down a load ejected from the missile after its launch, with at least one parachute that is attached to the load being packed in a container mounted in the missile, and with the cords of the load-carrying parachute being attached to an intermediate member coupled to the load, the intention is to reduce the size of the operational parts to be transported with the missile and improve the operation thereof during the setting down process. For this purpose it is envisaged that the container should be in the form of a two-part casing having an upper part which can be sprung open, and a plate-shaped lower part having a portion fixedly connected to the load and a support disk as the intermediate member attached to cords of the parachute. The support disk is capable of being folded out from the lower part portion while remaining connected thereto by a connecting element.
