The present invention includes an emergency egress system of a vehicle, including: a rope compartment, wherein the rope compartment is located on or near a vertical plane along a longitudinal axis of the vehicle, within reach of one or more occupant seats; a rope, wherein at least a portion of the rope is stored within the rope compartment and is securely tethered to a portion of a structure of the vehicle; and a rope compartment cover to secure the rope in the rope compartment.

A pilot's seat offering an evacuation device. The seat comprises a ladder fixed to the rear of the back and covered by a detachable cover associated with the seat and deployable between a storage position retracted inside the cover and a deployed evacuation position, in which case the cover is detached. Thus, the evacuation device is incorporated harmoniously into the seat which offers a solid base for the evacuation ladder.

An emergency actuation device for opening a door, the emergency actuation device includes: at least one pressurised gas supply; an actuator including: an actuator chamber, an actuator piston moveable between a retracted position and a fully extended position to open the door, a vent for venting the actuator chamber when the actuator piston is in its extended position. The emergency actuation device further includes a percussion device including a percussion piston moveable on activation of the percussion device between: a storage position in which the pressurised gas supply is isolated from the actuator and an activated position in which the pressurised gas supply is coupled to the actuator. The actuator is coupled to the percussion device; and the actuator is configured such that movement of the actuator piston towards its activated position resets the percussion piston.

Aeronautical conveying and release device comprising a frame, an actuator releasing a device, a first and second hook holding the device, first and second locking toggles having a locking and unlocking position, first and second cams in contact with the first or second toggle in a first direction, movement of the first or second cam in a second direction causing the toggle to leave the locking position and the unlocking of the hook, a third cam actuated from and returns to an idle position, a fourth cam driven by the third cam into unlocking, the third cam unlocking the first cam, a fifth cam coupled to the first cam, a safety member with lever with a first position which blocks the unlocked cams, the first cam and the second cam being blocked unlocked, blocking the locked toggles, a second position where the lever is blocked by the fourth and/or the fifth cam, and a third position where the lever frees the cams.

A ball lock includes a body having a shaft with at least one retention feature disposed at a distal portion of the shaft. The body of the ball lock may also define a central chamber and an access slot open to the central chamber. The ball lock may include a spindle disposed within the central chamber of the body. The spindle may be in either a locked position or an unlocked position. The ball lock may further include an indicator coupled to the spindle and viewable to a user via the access slot, wherein the indicator is configured to indicate to the user whether the spindle is in the locked position or the unlocked position.
