Helix fire escape structure

摘要

Improvements in a fire escape having a structure of a Helix/Spiral Cylinder shape. It's a building within a building. It provides a quick and safe evacuation for all fire victims, including the A.D.A., the injured and the elderly. Its spiral design can accommodate a large number of floor levels. It eliminates the hazards acquainted with stairs and elevators. It has the capability of removing some of the smoke from the high-rise fire by way of a metal Ducting System. It draws the smoke into the center smoke shaft. The spiral is a two-way traffic pathway, which offers Fire Department personnel and their equipment a method of upward transportation to any floor-level they need for fighting this fire incident. My design can be retrofitted to any existing building.

主权项

1. A helix fire escape for a building comprising:
an inner shaft having a metal ducting system; said metal ducting system having an upper end with a motor that removes smoke from a fire below said upper end within a high-rise building; a fire or smoke detection system; said inner shaft being connected to a two-way traffic pathway that encircles said inner shaft in a helical relationship; said two-way traffic pathway further connected to at least one door located at each floor of a high-rise building; said two-way traffic pathway having a first fixed solid pathway extending substantially the entire longitudinal length of said two-way traffic pathway and a second roller pathway that extends substantially the entire longitudinal length of said two-way traffic pathway in a side-by-side relationship with respect to said first pathway, said second pathway being distal with respect to said first pathway relative to said inner shaft, and said motor connected to a fan having fan blades that create a vacuum in said metal ducting system whereby vacuuming said smoke from hallways within said high-rise building.
