BACKGROUND

The present disclosure relates to an air delivery barrel system.

An air delivery system is used to deliver a payload out of an aircraft. Common ways that air delivery systems are deployed include a payload released either in a tandem jump with a tandem jumper or separately using a static line parachute. These current processes for air delivery systems are inefficient in cost, set-up time, and functionality. For instance, the materials of the air-delivery system are designed to be used for a single delivery and are often damaged during delivery. In addition, these air delivery systems have to be carefully prepared and packaged which takes multiple steps to complete and makes these air delivery systems difficult to setup and use.

SUMMARY

According to one innovative aspect of the subject matter in this disclosure, an air delivery barrel system is described. In an example implementation, an air delivery barrel system may include: a strap system that provides line stretch of the strap system when a force is exerted on the strap system, the strap system including a continuous strap; a first barrel, the first barrel being formed out of a cylindrically shaped wall and the cylindrically shaped wall including a channel that the strap system passes through; an end cap, the end cap being detachably connectable to a bottom end of the first barrel, the end cap protecting a bottom portion of the strap system; a lid, the lid being detachably connectable to a top end of the first barrel, the lid including a recess through which the strap system passes through; and a second barrel that can be situated within the first barrel and the cylindrically shaped wall of the first barrel protects the second barrel.

Implementations may include one or more of the following features. The air delivery barrel system also includes wherein the second barrel is removable from the first barrel. The air delivery barrel system also includes wherein the second barrel is modular. The air delivery barrel system wherein the strap system the line stretch absorbs a portion of the force. The air delivery barrel system wherein the continuous strap includes a first end that passes through the recess, the first end including an attachment loop. The air delivery barrel system wherein the recess of the lid is a first recess and the lid further includes a second recess and wherein a second end of the continuous strap passes through the second recess, the second recess being opposite the first recess on the lid. The air delivery barrel system wherein the first end of the continuous strap includes a first gear loop and the second end of the continuous strap includes a second gear loop, wherein the first gear loop prevents the first end of the continuous strap from sliding back into the channel and the second gear loop prevents the second end of the continuous strap from sliding back into the channel. The air delivery barrel system comprising integrated cross straps, with or without gear loops that secure to quick release friction adaptors which aid in keeping the strap system from falling into the strap channels of the main barrel and also prevent shift of the strap system during the shack phases of the jump The air delivery barrel system wherein the strap system includes an integrated shock absorber. The air delivery barrel system wherein the first barrel is one or more of watertight and dust proof when the end cap and the lid are connected to the main barrel. The air delivery barrel system wherein the strap system may be one or more of type 7, type 8, and/or type 13 webbing strap in a single or double layer sewn configuration. The air delivery barrel system wherein the end cap is designed to preserve the center of gravity of the air delivery barrel system. The air delivery barrel system wherein the end cap is a wheeled end cap. The air delivery barrel system further comprising a ballast plate that can be removable positioned within the first barrel, the ballast plate can be included within the interior barrel to bring a load weight of the main barrel to a specific parameter. The air delivery barrel system further comprising an impact plate that can be removable positioned within the first barrel, the ballast plate can be included within the interior barrel, the impact plate being configured to flex and dissipate impact energy. The air delivery barrel system wherein the first barrel includes an attachment mechanism that can be configured to receive a horizontal wheel plate and/or have the wheel carriage integrated into the outer wall of the aid delivery barrel system. The air delivery barrel system wherein the first barrel is double walled formed out of an interior wall and an exterior wall and the strap channel is positioned between the interior wall and the exterior wall. The air delivery barrel system further comprising a push handle integrated into the first barrel, the push handle protruding outwardly from an exterior surface of the first barrel.

One general aspect includes an air delivery barrel system including a first barrel including a strap channel located between an exterior wall and an interior wall of the first barrel, a strap system formed out of a continuous strap that passes through the strap channel of the first barrel, the strap channel being configured to reduce a shock on the first barrel, and a second barrel configured to be removably positioned within the first barrel and protected by the exterior wall and interior wall of the first barrel.

Implementations may include one or more of the following features. The air delivery barrel system wherein the first barrel is configured in one of a vertical configuration and a horizontal configuration.

One general aspect includes an air delivery barrel system including a first barrel that houses a strap channel that runs from a top side of the first barrel to a bottom side of the first barrel, a second barrel configured to be positioned within the first barrel and protected by the first barrel, and a strap system that passes through the strap channel and is configured to reduce a shock that is applied to the strap system.

The above and other implementations are advantageous in a number of respects as articulated through this document. Moreover, it should be understood that the language used in the present disclosure has been principally selected for readability and instructional purposes, and not to limit the scope of the subject matter disclosed herein.
