Patent

CA 2153513

There is disclosed an erectable portable emergency shelter for use in cold conditions. This comprises an air impermeable fabric enclosure having an inflatable floor as a base and inflatable ribs for supporting an upper section mountable on the base. There is in one embodiment a hinge between the base and upper section such that the upper section can be opened to uncover the entire floor. This allows an injured person to be moved onto or off of the floor by assistants without fetter of the upper section. There is also a seal provided between the upper section and the base for when the upper section is not open at the hinge. There is further provided a vestibule having means for providing heat-loss limiting entry or exit of a person from the shelter. Various other survival assisting features may be included. In another aspect there is a survival kit which includes the shelter, interior combustion heat generation means, and possibly other safety features.

L'abri consiste en une enceinte en tissu imperméable à plancher gonflable servant de base et à nervures gonflables supportant une partie supérieure se montant sur la base. Une version de l'abri comprend une charnière entre la base et la partie supérieure, qui permet d'ouvrir cette dernière et de découvrir l'ensemble du plancher pour y installer un blessé ou l'en déplacer sans que la partie supérieure ne fasse entrave. Un dispositif d'étanchéité est prévu entre la partie supérieure et la base, lorsque la partie supérieure n'est pas ouverte à la charnière. Un vestibule est aussi fourni, qui comporte des dispositifs permettant à une personne d'entrer dans l'abri ou d'en sortir sans que la chaleur ne s'échappe. Divers autres éléments contribuant à la survie peuvent aussi être inclus. L'invention a également trait à une trousse de survie comportant un abri, un générateur de chaleur de combustion, et peut-être aussi d'autres dispositifs de sécurité.
