Abstract
A fire escape system includes a frame assembly that is for coupling to a window frame. A suspension member is coupled to the frame assembly. The suspension member is suspended from the frame assembly such that the suspension member is for supporting a user escaping from the building. The suspension member is extendable between the frame assembly and the ground. A boom assembly is coupled to the frame assembly. The boom assembly has a support member. The support member of the boom assembly is coupled to the frame assembly. The suspension member is coupled to the boom assembly such that the boom assembly is for suspending the suspension member a distance from a wall of the building for inhibiting the user from is burned by the burning building.
Claims20
A fire escape system for escaping a building on fire, the fire escape system comprising:
- a frame assembly being adapted for coupling to a window frame;
- a suspension member being coupled to said frame assembly, said suspension member being suspended from said frame assembly such that said suspension member is adapted for supporting a user escaping from the building, said suspension member being extendable between said frame assembly and the ground;
- a boom assembly being coupled to said frame assembly, said boom assembly having a support member;
- said support member of said boom assembly being coupled to said frame assembly, said suspension member being coupled to said boom assembly such that said boom assembly is adapted for suspending said suspension member a distance from a wall of the building for inhibiting the user from being burned by the burning building;
- said frame assembly having a base member, said base member being adapted for coupling to a pair of side portions of the window frame such that said base member is positioned across an opening of the window frame, said base member supporting said boom assembly when the user is positioned on said suspension member;
- said frame assembly having a brace member, said brace member being coupled to said base member, said base member being adapted for being coupled to a lower end of one of the side portions of the window frame for inhibiting rotation of said brace member with respect to said base member, said boom assembly being selectively coupled to said brace member such that said brace member supports said boom assembly when the user is positioned on said suspension member;
- said brace member of said frame assembly having an anchor plate, said anchor plate being adapted for coupling to one of the side portions of the window frame such that said anchor plate anchors said brace member to the window frame;
- and
- said anchor plate of said brace member having an anchoring pin, said anchoring pin outwardly extending from said anchor plate, a free end of said suspension member being selectively securable to said anchor pin such that said anchoring pin is for anchoring said suspension member to said frame assembly.
A fire escape system for escaping a building on fire, the fire escape system comprising:
- a frame assembly being adapted for coupling to a window frame;
- a suspension member being coupled to said frame assembly, said suspension member being suspended from said frame assembly such that said suspension member is adapted for supporting a user escaping from the building, said suspension member being extendable between said frame assembly and the ground;
- a boom assembly being coupled to said frame assembly, said boom assembly having a support member;
- said support member of said boom assembly being coupled to said frame assembly, said suspension member being coupled to said boom assembly such that said boom assembly is adapted for suspending said suspension member a distance from a wall of the building for inhibiting the user from being burned by the burning building;
- said frame assembly having a base member, said base member being adapted for coupling to a pair of side portions of the window frame such that said base member is positioned across an opening of the window frame, said base member supporting said boom assembly when the user is positioned on said suspension member;
- said frame assembly having a brace member, said brace member being coupled to said base member, said base member being adapted for being coupled to a lower end of one of the side portions of the window frame for inhibiting rotation of said brace member with respect to said base member, said boom assembly being selectively coupled to said brace member such that said brace member supports said boom assembly when the user is positioned on said suspension member;
- and
- said frame assembly having a plurality of rollers, said rollers being coupled to said brace member of said frame assembly, said suspension member selectively engaging said rollers such that said rollers are adapted for transferring force of a user positioned on said suspension member into said frame assembly.
A fire escape system for escaping a building on fire, the fire escape system comprising:
- a frame assembly being adapted for coupling to a window frame;
- a suspension member being coupled to said frame assembly, said suspension member being suspended from said frame assembly such that said suspension member is adapted for supporting a user escaping from the building, said suspension member being extendable between said frame assembly and the ground;
- a boom assembly being coupled to said frame assembly, said boom assembly having a support member;
- said support member of said boom assembly being coupled to said frame assembly, said suspension member being coupled to said boom assembly such that said boom assembly is adapted for suspending said suspension member a distance from a wall of the building for inhibiting the user from being burned by the burning building;
- said suspension member comprising a plurality of telescopic arms, said telescopic arms each being for selectively extending and retracting for varying a length of said suspension member, one of said telescopic arms being coupled to said support member of said boom assembly;
- a hook member being coupled to said suspension member opposite said frame assembly, said hook member being adapted for engaging the ground when said suspension member is extended towards the ground such that said hook member secures said suspension member to the ground;
- and
- said suspension member having a biasing member, said biasing member being positioned between said hook member and said telescopic arms of said suspension member, said biasing member being for biasing said telescopic arms of said suspension member when the user is positioned on said suspension member.
