Fire evacuation installation

An emergency evacuation installation collapsed to be of a box shape and readily deployed for accommodating a plurality of occupants safely in emergency situations such as fires, the emergency evacuation installation comprising:

• a rectangular frame (2′) configured to be fixed to a veranda (1′) and comprising hinged double doors (22′) and wherein each door has a knob (21′) projecting forward;
• a rear panel (3′) being disposed rearward of the frame (2′) and comprising a rectangular shaped body, an exit door, a bottom flange (31′) and a top flange (32′), and wherein the bottom flange and the top flange extend forward at right angles from bottom and top ends of the body, respectively, and wherein the exit door (33′) is located centrally in the body of the rear panel (3′) so that the rear panel (3′) is externally accessed for an evacuation;
• two side panels (4′) wherein each side panel includes a first and a second panel (41′ and 42′) which are bisected vertically and interconnected in a foldable arrangement by one or more first hinges (43′), each side panel (4′) being also connected at its front and rear ends by one or more second and third hinges (44′, 45′) foldably with a rear portion of the inside of the frame (2′) and one lateral end of the rear panel (3′), respectively;
• a bottom panel (5′) having a lateral end attached to one or more fourth hinges (51′) formed inside of a lower end portion of the frame (2′) and at least one air inlet hole 52′ with a closing and opening plate (53′) adjustably disposed thereover so that the bottom panel (5′) is dropped until stopped by the bottom flange (31′) of the rear panel (3′) to complete the floor surface as the emergency evacuation installation is deployed;
• a top panel (6′) having a lateral end attached to one or more fifth hinges (61′) formed inside of an upper end portion of the frame (2′) and engaging, when deployed, a bottom surface of the top flange (32′) of the rear panel (3′);
• and
• an activation bar (7′) which is elongated and has one end fixed to an upper surface of the top flange (32′) of the rear panel (3′) and an opposite end passing through a guide hole (23′) formed in the frame (2′) and terminating by a handle portion (71′), the activation bar (7′) being divided into two sections articulated by a hinge (72′) placed so that the hinge (72′) passes through the guide hole (23′) with all the panels collapsed and then bends vertically downwards to rest.

An emergency evacuation installation configured to be attached to a veranda (1″) collapsed to be of a box shape and readily deployed for accommodating a plurality of occupants safely in emergency situations such as fires, the emergency evacuation installation comprising:

• a rectangular frame (2″) configured to be fixed to the veranda (1″) and comprising hinged double entrance doors (22″) and wherein each door has a knob (21″) projecting forward and a pair of first ladder docking holes (23″) extending vertically through the frame (2″) and opening towards the upper surface of the frame (2″);
• a rear panel (3″) being disposed rearward of the frame (2″) and comprising a rectangular shaped body, an exit door and a flange (31″) extending forward at right angle of the periphery of the body of the rear panel (3″) and wherein the exit door (32″) is located centrally in the body of the rear panel (3″);
• a pair of side panels (4″) each including a first and a second panel (41″ and 42″) which are interconnected in an inwardly folding arrangement by one or more corresponding first hinges (43″) and each side panel (4″) being also connected at its front and rear ends by one or more second and third hinges (44″, 45″) foldably with the rear portion of the inside of the frame (2″) and one lateral end of the rear panel (3″), respectively;
• a bottom panel (5″) having a lateral end attached to one or more fourth hinges (51″) formed inside of a lower end portion of the frame (2″), at least one air inlet hole (52″) with a closing and opening plate (53″) adjustably disposed thereover, a lower sliding door (54″) configured to be pushed sideways to slide open a predetermined portion of the bottom panel (5″), and a pair of second ladder fixture holes (55″) extending through the bottom panel (5″) and located between the lower sliding door (54″) and the double entrance doors (22″) so that the bottom panel (5″) is expanded until stopped by a lower section of the flange (31″) of the rear panel (3″) to complete the floor surface as the emergency evacuation installation is deployed;
• a top panel 6′ having a lateral end attached to one or more fifth hinges (61″) formed inside of an upper end portion of the frame (2″) and an upper sliding door (62″) configured to be pushed sideways to slide open a predetermined portion of the top panel (6″), and engages, when deployed, a downward surface of an upper section of the flange (31″);
• and
• an emergency ladder (7″) installed inside of one of the double entrance doors (22″) and having upper hooks (71″) each bent into a forward curve terminated by a distal end which can be inserted in each of the second ladder fixture holes (55″) and feet which can be inserted in another pair of first ladder docking holes (23″) of a downstairs emergency evacuation installation once the emergency evacuation installation is repeatedly attached in a column over the building.
