Abstract
The invention relates to an emergency opening device for an aircraft door provided with an opening mechanism (10, 11, 17), said device comprising (i) a mobile maneuvering member (21-23, 35) urged by elastic compression means (20) and provided with an end piece (35) connecting to the opening mechanism of the door, and an opposing resetting end segment; and (ii) a member (26) for retaining the resetting segment (23) of the maneuvering member, comprising jaws (26a, 26b) that can move between a closed position in which the resetting segment is locked, in a maneuvering member position in which the elastic means (20) are compressed, and an open position in which the resetting segment is released, thereby allowing the movement of the maneuvering member under the resultant force from the expansion of the elastic means (20).
