ABSTRACT:
An acceleration protection ensemble protects a person aboard an aircraft from the effects of acceleration. One embodiment comprises a liquid impervious cavity having a flexible interior layer that presses against the body. The cavity substantially covers the person's shins, front thighs, chest and back, and behind the knees, and leaves the buttocks, arms, and rear calves, and thighs substantially uncovered. Hydrostatic pressure within the cavity is restrained by a exterior restraining layer of flexible indistensible material. Substantially all of the cavity is positioned between the body and the restraining layer. The restraining layer substantially covers the buttocks, and rear calves and thighs to provide a pressure panel against body parts not covered by the cavity. The filled cavity hydrostatically presses body parts under it and tensions the pressure panels to press body parts underlying the panels. Booties having liquid impervious cavities with a flexible interior layer that substantially covers and presses against the upper foot, the ankles, and the arch, are connected to the body covering cavity to transfer hydrostatic pressure therebetween. A capacitance reservoir with a reclosable outlet fits about the neck and is connected with the main cavity. The restaining layer covers the reservoir. The restraint layer has an assembly to expand its girth. Elastic sleeves and gloves are provided.
An alternative cavity additionally leaves uncovered the area approximately over the scapulas. Another alternative cavity substantially covers the lower back and spinal column. The reservoir is connected by cavity strips to the cavity section that covers the abdomen, while the chest area above the xiphoid level is substantially uncovered. The buttocks, arms, upper back and shoulders, and rear calves and thighs are uncovered. All cavities have suitable openings for liquid filling and emptying.
