Abstract
A fire escape, exercise or amusement device designed to depend vertically from a wall when in use and to have sufficient flexibility to simplify storage is disclosed. The device consists of a rope-like support member with a series of beads about 4 to 5 inches in diameter spaced axially along substantially the entire length of the rope-like support. A grasping hook is attached to at least one end of the device for attachment to a support that is an integral part of a building or other structure. Horizontal rods are attached to the top and bottom of the device above and below the beads.

A fire escape device designed to depend vertically from a building comprising in combination a thin elongated flexible rope-like support of uniform diameter having a multiplicity of beads with holes bored therethrough, each about 4 to 5 inches in diameter spaced along substantially the entire length of said support, supporting each other, and freely movable thereon, horizontal rods having a length about two times the diameter of said beads attached to said rope-like support above and below said beads on said support, and grasping hook means attached to at least one end of said support for attachment of said fire escape device to a supporting means on a building.
An exercise device designed to depend vertically from wall or ceiling comprising in combination a thin elongated flexible rope-like support of uniform diameter having a multiplicity of beads with holes bored therethrough, each about 4 to 5 inches in diameter spaced along substantially the entire length of said support, supporting each other, and freely movable thereon, horizontal members having a length about two times the diameter of said beads attached to said rope-like support above and below said beads on said support, and hook means attached to at least one end of said support for attachment of said exercise device to a supporting means on a wall or ceiling.
An amusement device designed to be attached at one or both ends to a support means on a wall, a ceiling or free standing member comprising in combination a thin elongated flexible rope-like support of uniform diameter having a multiplicity of beads with holes bored therethrough, each about 4 to 5 inches in diameter, spaced along substantially the entire length of said support, supporting each other, and freely movable thereon, horizontal members having a length about two times the diameter of said beads attached to said rope-like support above and below said beads on said support and grasping hook means attached to at least one end of said support for attachment of said amusement device to a supporting means on a wall, a ceiling or a free standing member.
