English

Subject field(s)
  • Skydiving, Paragliding and Hang Gliding
DEF

Cords or webbing of silk, nylon, cotton, rayon, or other textile materials which connect the drap surface of the parachute [and paraglider] to the harness.

CONT

A paraglider is made up of the wing, rigging (lines), small carabiner, and risers. ... Lines. Commonly known as lines (a set of rigging) measuring variously between 0.4 - 1.7 mm, even 2.2 mm, their high level of strength or weight resistance depends on their thickness and the properties of material used in its construction. They are usually concerned with a protective sheath to guard against ground friction and are made from dyneema, kevlar, spectra, superaramid and so on. The lines attach the wing to risers which in turn are attached to the pilots harness, and extend from the wings downward side in the order specified by the particular manufacturer, gradually tapering off in thickness and number via a series of quick links. Finally they end up in tiny linkages (known as small carabiner) from the risers.

Terms usually used in plural.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Skydiving, Paragliding and Hang Gliding
  • Airborne Forces
DEF

[In a parachute assembly], a container, usually of fabric, which has the primary function of retaining the suspension lines until activation of the deployment system dictates their release.

CONT

The deployment bag is constructed of nylon duck with a grommet at the top of the bag so that the bridle line may pass through and connect to the canopy. The bag also has attachment points and grommets for elastic stows which close the bag and stow the suspension lines.

OBS

The deployment bag also contains the canopy.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Parachutisme, parapente et deltaplane
  • Forces aéroportées
DEF

Gaine [de parachute], généralement en tissu, qui sert principalement à retenir les suspentes jusqu'au moment où le dispositif de déploiement les fait sortir.

CONT

La voilure principale est pliée dans un fourreau ou dans un sac de déploiement (le POD). À l'ouverture, après la mise en tension des suspentes (grâce au poids du parachutiste), la voilure sort du POD ou du fourreau avant de s'étaler et de se mettre en pression.

OBS

Le plafond suspendu sera réalisé avec des panneaux autoportants en laine de roche Eurocoustic [...] Le plafond sera mis en œuvre sur une ossature T35 mm composée de profilés en acier galvanisé avec semelle visible blanche. Les profilés porteurs seront disposés tous les 1200 ou 1500 mm en file parallèle, et suspendus tous les 1200 mm par des suspentes appropriées [...] Les panneaux seront maintenus dans l'ossature par un accessoire type clip 426 plus épingle 423 de CMC pour en limiter les soulèvements (2 clips par panneau).

OBS

[...] le plafond suspendu [...] est un ouvrage plan construit sous le plancher, à une certaine distance de celui-ci; il se compose en général d'une ossature métallique légère accrochée à intervalles réguliers par des attaches de suspente. Cette ossature est ensuite habillée de matériaux légers, en plaques ou panneaux fixes ou amovibles, en plâtre, en staff, dalles acoustiques amovibles, etc.

Record 4 2012-06-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pest Control Equipment
  • Mechanical Construction
CONT

When pesticides in the form of solutions or emulsions are being sprayed, the return flow from the bypass pressure regulator usually is sufficient to mix the contents of the tank.... Hydraulic agitation will, if properly used, keep wettable powders in suspension. Do not depend on the return flow from the bypass pressure regulator. Connect the agitator line to the pressure side of the pump.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matériel de protection des végétaux
  • Construction mécanique
CONT

Lorsqu'on pulvérise des antiparasitaires sous forme de solutions ou d'émulsions, le reflux du régulateur de pression à dérivation suffit généralement pour effectuer le mélange dans le réservoir [...] L'agitation hydraulique, utilisée de la façon appropriée, maintient les poudres mouillables en suspension. Il ne faut pas compter sur le reflux du régulateur de pression à dérivation. Le circuit d'agitation doit être relié au circuit de refoulement de la pompe, et non pas au circuit de dérivation du régulateur de pression.
