Industrial applicability

The utility model is implemented as follows. The sheath 1, the slings 2, the hose 5, the supply valve 6, the means for determining the location 7, the means for attaching to the object 8, the means for filling 9, the means for reducing the height and the container 11 are initially manufactured. The user attaches the slings 2 to the sheath 1 and to the means for attaching to the object 8. User connects means filling 9 with a hole in the shell 1 by means of a hose 5, and at the outlet of the filling means 9 sets the supply valve 6. The user attaches the container 11 to the attachment means to the object 8. The user folds the shell 1 compactly and places it in the container 11 so that to provide the possibility of its spontaneous opening and departure from the container 11 when the working medium is supplied from the filling medium 9. The user places it inside the container 11 or attaches it to the container 11 or to the means of attachment to the object 8 means for determining the location 7. The user provides the device with means for reducing height. In this case, the user, before placing the shell 1 in the container 11, installs a drain valve 3 in the shell 1 and, if necessary, fixes a control device 4 on the container 11 or on the means of attachment to the object 8, and / or attaches to the container 11 or places a cable 10 or inside the container 11 a cable 10 wound around a reel with a holding means at its free end. If necessary, the user places food, water, documents and other items necessary for him in the container 11.

In the event of an emergency, such as a tsunami or mudflows, as well as shipwrecks in the seas, or in cases of self-rescue from high-rise buildings, with the possibility of access to the roof, the user fixes on his body, or on the body, other people who are unable to it is on its own (children, the disabled and the elderly), or on the body of animals, or on other objects that need to be saved, the means of attachment to the object 8. After fixing the means of attachment to the object 8, the user opens the supply valve 6. Work of tea, the medium from the filling medium 9 enters through the hose 5 through an opening into the cavity in the shell 1. At the same time, the shell 1 opens (unfolds) as it is filled with the working medium, flies out of the container 11 and raises the object above the surface of the earth. After emptying the filling means 9, the user can disconnect it from the device and leave it on the ground to reduce the mass of the lifted load. When the user is raised to the required height, he waits for the passage of a tsunami wave, debris flow or other disaster at a safe height. After the danger disappears, the user applies a means of reducing the height in order to fall to the ground. In the case of using the drain valve 3, the user manually or using the control device 4 opens the drain valve 3 and gradually decreases to the surface of the earth. When using a cable 10 the user throws one end of the cable 10 to the ground, where there are already descending people who, having caught the specified end of the cable 10, pull the object toward them. When using a cable 10 with a coil and a holding means, the user lowers the end of the cable 10 to the ground with a holding means that clings, for example, to a tree, after which the user winds the cable 10 onto the coil with a handle and lowers to the ground.

 If the incident was accompanied by a strong wind and the user was taken to a large distance from the scene, it can be found by the rescue services using the location tool 7.

 Thus, the implementation of the device from the shell with slings attached to the means of attachment to the object, the filling means with a feed valve connected by a hose to the shell and the means of reducing the height increases the reliability of the device by using a means of reducing the height, allowing the user to lower to the ground .
