ABSTRACT:
A packboard assembly (10) has a shell (12) in which the escape slide is packed and held in place by releasably fastened covers (28,29). The shell (12) is mounted on a door (44) and supported by latches (52) having latch pins (62) which when removed cause the assembly (10) to drop. The latch pins (62) are removed in response to opening of the door (44) after the escape slide system is actuated by an operator. Then after the packboard assembly (10) is dropped a predetermined distance a packing release lanyard (68) is tensioned to release the covers (28,29) and permit the shell (12) to fall away from the slide. A firing lanyard (78) then actuates the inflation of the slide.
