A flexible, inflatable shelter is held within a storage container. The shelter can be erected rapidly, by directing compressed gas held or produced within the container, into the flexible material which will define the finished shelter. Personnel using the shelter then enter through an air lock door located in the storage container. An air lock may be alternatively provided such that is is located at least partly within the deployed shelter, and so that it does not occupy substantial space in the container. The container includes supplies necessary to sustain life for an extended period. The shelter can be used to protect personnel from harmful environments caused by accidents or explosions in mines, tunnels, industrial plants, and the like. The container is compact, but allows rapid deployment of the flexible material to produce a shelter which is of approximately the same volume, or greater, than that of the storage container.

La présente invention concerne un abri gonflable et souple qui est conservé dans un contenant de stockage. L'abri peut être dressé rapidement en insufflant un gaz comprimé, enfermé ou produit dans le contenant, dans le matériau souple qui délimite l'abri fini. Les personnes utilisant l'abri entrent alors par un sas situé dans le contenant de stockage. Dans une variante, un sas peut être mis en place de sorte à être situé au moins partiellement dans l'abri déployé, et de sorte à ne pas occuper d'espace substantiel dans le contenant. Le contenant inclut les provisions nécessaires pour garantir la survie pendant une période prolongée. L'abri peut être utilisé pour protéger des personnes contre des environnements nocifs dus à des accidents ou des explosions dans des mines, des tunnels, des installations industrielles, et des endroits analogues. Le contenant est compact mais permet un déploiement rapide du matériau souple afin d'obtenir un abri qui a approximativement le même volume, ou est plus grand, que celui du contenant de stockage.
