Tactile Fire Escape System

A process of attaching and utilizing tactile members along an emergency path in a building structure to identify the location of an exit door, said process comprising the steps of:

• identifying an emergency path that leads to an exit door within a building structure;
• providing an initial tactile member;
• securing said initial tactile member to an inside of a room door to indicate an initial direction toward said emergency path from said room;
• providing a plurality of first tactile members, wherein said plurality of first tactile members are comprised of a tapered structure;
• securing said plurality of first tactile members to a wall along said emergency path with said plurality of first tactile members pointing approximately along said emergency path to said exit door;
• providing a second tactile member, wherein said second tactile sign is comprised of a tapered structure;
• securing said second tactile sign to said exit door in an upwardly pointing direction;
• providing a plurality of third tactile members, wherein said plurality of third tactile members are comprised of a circular configuration;
• securing said plurality of third tactile members to said wall along said emergency path to indicate an immediate left or right turn;
• feeling said door to locate said initial tactile member;
• opening said door and moving in a direction indicated by said initial tactile member;
• feeling said wall to locate one of said plurality of first tactile members;
• moving in a direction indicated by said plurality of first tactile members;
• feeling said wall to locate one of said plurality of third tactile members;
• immediately turning in a left or right direction;
• moving in said left or right direction;
• feeling said exit door and said second tactile sign;
• and
• exiting through said exit door.

A tactile fire escape system, comprising:

• an initial tactile member attached to an inside of a room door and indicating a direction toward an emergency path to an exit door;
• a plurality of first tactile members attached to a wall at a height above a floor, wherein said plurality of first tactile members are comprised of a tapered structure pointing approximately along said emergency path to said exit door;
• a second tactile sign attached to said exit door, wherein said second tactile sign is comprised of a tapered structure pointing approximately upwardly;
• and
• a plurality of third tactile members attached to a wall at a height above a floor, wherein said plurality of third tactile members are comprised of a circular structure and wherein said plurality of third tactile members indicate an immediate left or right turn;
• wherein said first tactile members are approximately equidistantly spaced apart;
• wherein said first tactile members and said second tactile sign each have a broad end, a narrow end opposite of said broad end and a front surface;
• wherein said narrow end is a pointed structure;
• wherein said first tactile members and said second tactile sign each have a triangular shape;
• wherein said initial tactile member, said plurality of first tactile members, said second tactile sign and said plurality of third tactile members are independently secured to said building structure.
