Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0193018A2] 1. A device for releasing an opening means which, together with a life-saving appliance, is disposed in an envelope under vacuum and which opens the envelope by pulling a first tension element enclosed by the envelope, wherein a second tension element extending outside the envelope is provided to transmit a tensile force to the first tension element, in which the first tension element extends in a flexible tube-like extension of the envelope and at a location thereof remote from the opening means is provided or is connected with a thickened portion, of which the cross-sectional area, disposed perpendicularly to the direction in which the first tension element extends, is substantially larger than that of the first tension element, and in which the second tension element is disposed with a loop around the first tension element between the opening means and the thickened portion, thus enclosing the flexible tube-like extension of the envelope, the cross-sectional area of said loop is larger than that of the first tension element and smaller than that of the thickened portion, characterised in that it has an auxiliary means (10-14; 1a, 1b, 16-18) for relieving the vacuum by damaging the envelope (6), said means becoming operative upon actuation of the second tension element.
