Abstract
An emergency escape pulley structure includes a main shaft on which a plurality of rope wheels are mounted. The main shaft actuates a deceleration gear set, so as to link a braking wheel. The rope wheels are controlled by a control member to turn independently on the shaft, thereby enabling two or more persons to use the emergency escape pulley structure at the same time.
Claims1
An emergency escape pulley structure comprising:
- a fastening board comprised of a plurality of shaft holes;
- a housing comprised of a lower receiving compartment and an upper receiving compartment, said lower receiving compartment being provided in a top wall with a plurality of vertically-oriented through holes for receiving a plurality of deceleration rods which are to provided at a top end with a spring fitted thereover, said housing being fastened to one side of said fastening board;
- a braking wheel located in said upper receiving compartment of said housing by a first shaft rod, with said first shaft rod having one end extending through one side of said fastening board;
- a deceleration gear set comprised of a first gear, a second gear, a third gear, and a fourth gear, said first gear being mounted in said lower receiving compartment of said housing such that said first gear is engaged with said second gear which is mounted on a second shaft rod with one end thereof extending out of another side of said fastening board to mount thereon said third gear, with said third gear being engaged with said fourth gear which is mounted on an outer end of said first shaft rod;
- a plurality of rope wheels, which are arranged in said lower receiving compartment of said housing in a parallel manner and are provided with a rope wound thereon, said rope wheels being provided in a center thereof with a through hole which is in turn provided in an inner wall with a horizontal long slot;
- and
- a main shaft disposed horizontally and provided in an outer wall surface with a plurality of transverse slot holes for disposing a control member each of said transverse slot holes holding a spring whose one end is fitted over a retaining bolt, said retaining bolt being provided with an inclined plane at a top end thereon said main shaft being used to mount thereof said plurality of rope wheels such that a top end of each of said retaining bolts is inserted into said horizontal long slot of said through hole of said rope wheels, said main shaft being fastening pivotally at one end with a side wall of said housing such that another end of said main shaft is pivotally fastened to said fastening board via said first gear, said rope wheels being in contact with a bottom end of said deceleration rod.
