Inventors: Mr Le Quang Hoa

A device is provided for storing at least one emergency equipment item. The device includes, but is not limited to at least one receptacle that is positioned above passenger seats and respectively provided with an access opening and at least one closure element for closing the access opening. In order to provide simpler access, at least one emergency equipment item is held in the receptacle and connected to a pulling element that protrudes from the access opening when the closure element is opened. The closure element may be opened and closed by means of a remote-controlled locking mechanism on the receptacle.

TECHNICAL FIELD 

The invention relates to a device for storing at least one emergency equipment item, the use of such a device in a vehicle, as well as a vehicle with at least one such device. 

A device for storing at least one emergency equipment item according to an embodiment of the invention may feature at least one receptacle that is positioned above passenger seats and respectively provided with an access opening and at least one closure element for closing the access opening. One particular advantage of this may be seen in that the at least one receptacle accommodates at least one emergency equipment item connected to a pulling element that protrudes from the access opening when the closure element is opened. It would therefore be possible, for example, for the pulling element to drop out of an opened receptacle by a certain distance such that it may be taken hold of by a person seated in the passenger seat arranged underneath the receptacle. Accordingly, it may not be necessary to align each receptacle of the device in such a way that the respective emergency equipment items in the receptacles are respectively arranged directly above an assigned passenger. Emergency equipment items may also be reached over a greater distance and taken hold of at the pulling element in order to be removed from the receptacle. When the receptacle is opened, the respective pulling element preferably may extend to a point situated slightly above the heads of the passengers seated in the passenger seats.
