High-rise building evacuation slides description

An evacuation slide:

• a. Decelerator blocks 27 that keep persons falling at a slow, steady speed;
• positioned on alternating sides
• b. Vertical layers of plastic 29 to keep the slide from bending
• c. A 4-feet pool 10 at the bottom that is connected to the slide 13 to keep people from hitting the ground too hard
• d. Air compressor 2, winch 6, and back-up water tank 4 to keep the slide up and wet (in case of fire)
• e. The structure:
• plastic walls 29 and adjustable air tubes 30
• 1) Plastic walls are the framework for the inflatable slide. They form smaller tunnels through which the air is pumped. These strips of plastic keep the slide from collapsing.
• 2) The adjustable air tubes control how much space there is within the slide. Pumping more air into the tubes causes the volume of space inside the slide to shrink.

A funnel 20 that can be connected to a fire truck 16

• a. Polyester fabric 20 used in funnel
• b. A 4-feet pool 10 at the bottom that is connected to funnel 20 to prevent people from hitting the ground too hard
• c. A set of layers to keep the funnel 20 stable
• d. A metal rim 36 to hold the fabric up and attach it to the fire truck's ladder 17
• e. A way to connect to the crane 17 of the fire truck 16 to the funnel 20
• 1) Hooks and steel bars are attached to the tip of the crane

A slide folding machine consisting of:

• a. Motor 32
• b. long shaft 31
• c. clamp
• d. claw lock 35
• e. pair of rails 33
• f. Re-wraps the evacuation slides by clamping on the slide and rolling on a pair of rails
