Life raft canopy with spring wire frame

A life raft may include a base comprising a first side and a second side, and a self-supporting, collapsible spring canopy. The canopy may include a spring wire frame, a first panel circumscribed by the spring wire frame, and a second panel circumscribed by the spring wire frame. A method of manufacturing a life raft arrangement includes folding the canopy, inserting the canopy into a storage pouch, and coupling the storage pouch to a life raft.

A life raft may include a base having a first side and a second side. The life raft may also include a first canopy coupled to the first side of the base and configured to extend across the first side of the base to form a first chamber defined between the first side of the base and the first canopy. The life raft may further include a second canopy coupled to the second side of the base and configured to extend across the second side of the base to form a second chamber defined between the second side of the base and the second canopy. At least one of the first canopy and the second canopy may define a first plurality of fill ports. The at least one of the first canopy and the second canopy is a bottom canopy configured to extend below the life raft.

Self-righting life raft

A life raft includes a base and an inflatable canopy. The base has a first side and a second side and the inflatable canopy is coupled to the first side of the base and configured to inflate and extend across the first side of the base to form a first chamber defined between the first side of the base and the inflatable canopy. The inflatable canopy is configured to inflate in response to deploying the life raft. Inflation of the inflatable canopy enables the life raft to self-right. In various embodiments, the base includes an inflatable border tube defining a first inflatable volume. The inflatable canopy may define a second inflatable volume and the first inflatable volume may be in fluidic communication with the second inflatable volume.
