20080230313 | Fire fighter's personal escape system - A wearable lightweight fire fighter's personal escape system and method includes a rope, having a distal and proximal end, packed within an exterior rope pouch that is appointed to be removably attached to a belt or harness, worn by a fire fighter. The proximal end of the rope exits through an opening in the exterior/outer rope pouch and is attached directly to a lightweight hook, or optionally enters a belay device. The hook has a sharp point for creating a purchase point on soft surfaces, a hook opening having sufficient diameter to surround radiators, steam pipe and the like, and capture rope that surrounds substantial objects. The hook has a central opening appointed for holding a firefighting tool to aid in creating a substantial object. The fire fighter escapes by creating a purchase point and repelling at a high speed or at a controlled speed by adjusting belay friction. | 09-25-2008 |

20130228395 | HIGH RISE EMERGENCY ESCAPE SYSTEM - The invention provides a retractable emergency escape system for a high rise building. The emergency escape system is made of a flexible, durable, fireproof, canvas-like material that allows it to retract to the top of the building when not in use. In its deployed configuration, the emergency escape system comprises a series of interconnected support panels connected to one or more vertical ladders or chutes. The diagonal pattern of the support panels provides support to the ladders and chutes, and also provides building occupants with an additional escape route. An occupant stuck in the building could escape the building by way of the diagonal support panels, by way of the vertical ladders or chutes, or by way of a combination of both. Alternatively, the invention can be made with horizontal support panels connecting to the vertical ladders or chutes. | 09-05-2013 |
20140060971 | Fire Escape Ladder - The invention provides a Fire Escape Ladder comprising a portable and compactable climbing instrument in a durably constructed wooden rectangular box. The box may serve as a seat when not in use. The ladder inside the box comprises a series of rectangular rungs connected to each other and anchored to the bottom of the box with strong heavy steel chain links. The storage box contains a lip extension from its top edge for attaching, locking in and stabilizing the Fire Escape Ladder at a window opening. | 03-06-2014 |
20140291071 | Deployable Fire Escape with Multiple Alternating Ramps - A deployable fire escape with multiple alternating ramps allows a user to evacuate a building without needing the use of their lower body by walking or climbing. A plurality of alternating ramps are supported by a scissor mechanism that is engaged within guide channels of two fixed guide rails. The scissor mechanism is composed of a number of scissor sections, the number of which depends on the height of the building to be evacuated from. Each of the ramps is made from an upper layer and a lower layer of wide, flexible ramp belts, with the upper belts being staggered with the lower belts. Intermediate platforms allow the user to rest or reorient themselves. The user alternatingly slides down a ramp, pries apart the belts of the ramp, and climbs through the gap in the ramp belts to the next ramp, repeating this process until reaching the ground level. | 10-02-2014 |

20080210489 | Building Escape System - An escape system for a building, including a belting ladder formed by an endless band of a flat flexible reinforced belting material with a plurality of longitudinally-spaced apertures each with a substantially transverse edge portion forming rung-like features therealong for human engagement, and a control apparatus having (a) a support structure mountable to the building, the support structure having a central shaft and a rotatable pulley member secured thereto with the endless band therearound, (b) a speed limiter mounted with respect to the main shaft for restraining rotation of the pulley member during human descent by belt movement, and (c) a winder device adjacent to the pulley member and having at least one winder rod engageable with the belt and orbitable with an engaged portion thereof about the pulley member. | 09-04-2008 |
182236000 | With means for retarding unwinding of strand type escape | 8 |
20080289905 | Retrieval and fall arrest system for manhole applications - A foldable hoist, fall-arrest and recovery system to be used in connection with a rectangular manhole guard having vertical posts at four corners of the guard including an upper structure having four elongated support members forming a pyramid shaped structure with the base of each of the support members being securely mounted to the top of a post on the manhole guard and the other ends of the support members being pivotally connected to an apex so that the upper structure can be folded for storage and shipment when disconnected from the base and means connected at the apex for raising and lowering workers and/or cargo into and out of the manhole or for arresting the fall or recovering a worker. | 11-27-2008 |
20150014097 | Descending Escape Equipment - A descending escape equipment comprises a descending device and a decelerating device. The descending device includes a shaft member which is wound around by two rope members in directions opposite to each other, so that while the shaft member is rotated to release one of the rope members, the other one of the rope members is retracted by the shaft member. The decelerating device includes a transmission member connected between the shaft member and the generator, and the shaft is being rotated to drive, via the transmission member, the generator that is loaded with the generator load for reducing a releasing speed and a retracting speed by a resistant moment of the generator generated by the generator load. | 01-15-2015 |

20090178887 | Retractable lifeline safety device - A retractable lifeline safety device usable as heights above the ground. The safety device is attached to the structure on which the worker is performing the task, and a lifeline such as a cable is withdrawn from the housing thereof, the end of which is attached to a belt or harness worn by the worker. The cable may be easily drawn out of the housing in response to the worker moving about normally in the appropriate work space, and the cable is automatically drawn back into the housing of the safety device as the worker draws closer thereto. However, should the worker fall, a brake mechanism within the safety device is automatically engaged by a sprocket and pawl system, stopping the worker's descent. | 07-16-2009 |
20130292207 | Lifesaver Apparatus - The Lifesaver apparatus as herein described addresses the problem people can face in circumstances similar to those experienced by the people trapped in the World Trade Center. When lower levels in a building are inaccessible to people trapped in its upper levels, the lifesaver apparatus will provide these people with a means for escaping from the building by descending from its outside to safety. | 11-07-2013 |
20140151155 | FAILSAFE RETRACTABLE LANYARD MECHANISM - A failsafe mechanism for a lanyard comprising a backing plate, a pawl rotatably mounted on the backing plate and having an engagement portion and a cam portion, and a sperrad mounted on the backing plate in proximity to the pawl. The sperrad has engagement and cam portions and rotates relative to the pawl to define an engagement zone where the pawl and sperrad engage. The sperrad and pawl engagement portions engage when the pawl engagement portion is within the engagement zone and the sperrad engagement portion rotates into engagement. The pawl is configured to rotate only between a first arc in which the engagement portion remains at least partially within the engagement zone and a second arc in which the pawl halts the sperrad rotation should the pawl be held within the second arc. | 06-05-2014 |
