HIGH RISE LIFE ESCAPE LADDERS

摘要

A fire escape ladder system (10) for high-rise buildings having balconies with parapets (20). Each balcony stores its own corresponding ladders (10). A first ladder (31) is securely mounted on the parapet. This ladder (31) folds out and over the parapet when in use. A second ladder (41) with a flanged top (43) is pushed through a cooperating opening (23) at the base of the parapet. The flange (43) prevents the ladder from sliding through the opening (23). This second ladder (41) descends to the top of the next lower balcony (22) where it is secured with a bar (52) and clamp assembly (51). Each user wears a safety belt (71) that connects to T-shaped longitudinal slots (48) integrally formed in both side pieces of the ladder. The ladder systems provide escape routes from balcony to balcony to ground.
