Modular, external emergency structure particularly suitable for use as a fire escape ladder

Abstract

This invention relates to a modular, external emergency structure particularly suitable for use as a fire escape. This structure comprises several modules stacked one on top of the other; the modules have a closed top surface featuring means suitable to open under the weight of a person and close immediately afterwards. In this way, said person falls into each module in succession in a controlled way, slowing down the fall. The structure comprises a bottom module found at ground level and several other modules, preferably different from the bottom module, to be stacked on top of the bottom module. Ideally, the height of each module should not be less than the height of the floor of the building to which it is connected; while, the height of the structure should not be less than the height of the last floor of the building to which said structure is connected.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a component type external emergency device. In particular, it relates to a device suitable for use as a fire escape, comprising a plurality of components stacked one on top of the other, the components having a closed top surface, and the top surface is configured to be suitable for being under the weight of a person A device that can be closed immediately after being opened. In this way, the person in question falls into each component one after another in a controllable manner, slowing the downward fall. Background technique [0002] The current effective prevention and safety standards used in public buildings, especially those related to fire prevention, require emergency devices to be set up to evacuate as quickly and as safely as possible during emergencies, such as fires. [0003] The most common emergency device consists of several stair sections arranged inside or outside the building, which connect one or more floors of th...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Under normal circumstances, these stair flights can be used as an option for access to the building and / or to connect different floors to each other; is that all passageways designated as emergency will be filled with panicked crowds

For example, if someone fell down the stairs, which is not an uncommon and / or unlikely event, at least some of the emergency exits would be blocked enough that, at least for the person who fell, serious injury or even loss of life would occur. life
