A descending device support resolvible of exit point limit

Abstract

This specification discloses a support for a descent device that allows for changes in installation location without compromising aesthetics. A support for a descent device according to one embodiment of the present invention disclosed in this specification may include vertical and horizontal supports joined by a connector. Normally, the horizontal support is folded for storage, but when needed, the upper hook of the vertical support is connected to the upper bar, and the horizontal support is separated from the vertical support, thereby having the advantage of not compromising aesthetics and occupying less storage space. Furthermore, since the support can be connected anywhere an upper bar is installed, it provides flexibility to use the descent device while avoiding the point of ignition in the event of a fire.

Description

Technology Field

[0001] This specification relates to a descent device, more specifically to a descent device support. Background Technology

[0002] With the progress of urbanization, high-rise buildings such as apartments and office buildings have become commonplace. These high-rise buildings are constructed sturdily according to reinforced standards to prepare for disasters, including earthquakes, and are equipped with various safety facilities. However, not only is there a possibility of malfunction in disaster prevention systems, but particularly in the case of a fire, if the response of the fire brigade is delayed and problems with electricity or water supply occur, sprinklers may fail to operate, making it unavoidable to escape to the outside. Furthermore, even in buildings that are not high-rise, unless they are single-story structures, there is a need to escape to the outside through windows, balconies, or verandas in an emergency.

[0003] As such, a representative method for escaping to the outside of a building is the rescue rope, and the installation of such ropes is legally mandated, particularly in places that house large numbers of people, such as apartments or offices. These ropes are typically installed in utility rooms or verandas (or balconies) rather than living rooms or bedrooms; since they detract from the aesthetics and cause inconvenience to pedestrians, they are generally placed in inconspicuous corners. The problem to be solved

[0004] However, if the escape rope is installed in an inconspicuous corner, there is a problem in that it is difficult for a large number of people to quickly discover the rope and use it for escape in the event of a disaster such as a fire. In addition, under South Korean regulations, the installation of escape ropes is stipulated to be placed in a zigzag pattern on each consecutive floor so that installation locations do not overlap; however, in reality, they are installed in similar positions on the same vertical line or their locations are changed for construction convenience, resulting in the disadvantage of reduced evacuation efficiency due to overlapping movement paths during actual use.

[0005] Furthermore, if a fire occurs beneath the support of the escape device, if flames spread to the installation location due to wind, or if securing a fire access route is difficult due to obstacles or illegal parking directly beneath the device, the escape device installed at a specific location is highly likely to become useless.

[0006] The embodiments disclosed in this specification are intended to solve the aforementioned problems and to provide a support for the installation of a descent device that can improve aesthetics.

[0007] In addition, the embodiments disclosed in this specification are intended to provide flexibility in escape positions using a descent device.

[0008] The problems that the present invention aims to solve are not limited to those mentioned above, and other unmentioned problems will be clearly understood by a person skilled in the art from the description below. means of solving the problem

[0009] The present specification discloses a descent device support comprising a vertical support and a horizontal support having one end connected to the lower end of the vertical support, wherein the horizontal support and one end of the vertical support are connected by a pivot axis to be foldable, and the other end of the vertical support is provided with a hook.

[0010] In one aspect of the present invention, the hook is a snap ring, and the upper part of the snap ring may have a groove formed that is narrower than the width of the lower part.

[0011] In another aspect of the present invention, the descent device support may further include an upper bar over which the vertical support is placed, and the width of the groove of the snap ring may be 1.1 to 1.3 times the thickness of the upper bar.

[0012] In another aspect of the present invention, the groove may be U-shaped or right-angled.

[0013] In another aspect of the present invention, when the vertical support is stretched over the upper bar, a friction member may be provided on the surface where the hook contacts the upper bar.

[0014] In another aspect of the present invention, the vertical support and the horizontal support may each be provided with a fixing member that fixes an angle limiting member for limiting the angle of separation between each other.

[0015] In another aspect of the present invention, an insertion groove may be formed on the opposing surfaces of the vertical support and the horizontal support to accommodate the ring when the vertical support and the horizontal support are folded.

[0016] In another aspect of the present invention, the rings provided on the vertical support and the horizontal support are connected by an angle limiting member, and the angle limiting member may be selected from a chain, a rope, or an angle adjustment bracket.

[0017] In another aspect of the present invention, a hook for installing a descent device may be provided at the other end of the horizontal support. Effects of the invention

[0018] The rescue device support according to the embodiment disclosed in this specification has the effect of providing a rescue device support that does not compromise aesthetics. In particular, when used in conjunction with an upper bar, it can be installed at the top of a window, and compared to wall-mounted supports installed on the window frame or side of the window, or stand-type supports fixed to the floor, it has the effect of reducing corrosion caused by water ingress. Furthermore, if, for example, a C-shaped curtain ring for curtains is used on the upper bar or a curtain rail is installed on the lower part of the upper bar, it not only harmonizes better with interior design in daily life but also has the advantage of making it easy to secure an escape point by pushing the curtain to one side in emergency situations.

[0019] In addition, the descending device support according to the embodiment disclosed in this specification has the effect of securing various escape points depending on the disaster situation by eliminating restrictions on the installation location.

[0020] Meanwhile, the effects obtainable from the present invention are not limited to those mentioned above, and other unmentioned effects will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs from the description below. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0024] Hereinafter, embodiments disclosed in this specification will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. Identical or similar components are given the same reference number regardless of the drawing symbols, and redundant descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0025] Hereinafter, embodiments disclosed in this specification will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0026] FIG. 1 is a usage form in which a descent device is connected to a descent device support, which is a conventional technology. As described above, the descent device support (10) for connecting the descent device (20) is typically installed on a durable wall, such as cement or concrete, to securely fix it. The descent device (20), that is, the hook (26) of the descent device (20), is attached to a hook located on a protrusion of the descent device support (10). The hook of the descent device (20) is connected to a speed regulator (21) for controlling the descent speed, and at the bottom of the speed regulator, a pair of belts (25) and a fastening fitting (23) for tightening the belts (25) are connected via a rope (22), and a rope reel (24) is connected to one of the belts (25). When using the descent device (20), the user hooks the descent device hook (26) onto the support (10), throws the rope reel (24) out, puts on the belt (25), tightens it with the fastening fitting (23), and descends while facing the wall. However, this structure causes the aforementioned problems because the installation location of the support (10) is remote and fixed to the wall.

[0027] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a descending device support according to an embodiment of the present invention. An exemplary descending device support (200) of the present invention has a structure different from the conventional descending device support (10) shown in FIG. 1 as follows. The descending device support (200) of the present invention includes a vertical support (210) and a horizontal support (220). The vertical support (210) and the horizontal support (220) are joined through a connector (240), wherein the horizontal support (220) may form a certain angle (a right angle in the case of FIG. 1) with respect to the vertical support (210) as shown in FIG. 1, or may be folded upward to be parallel to the vertical support (210). For example, the vertical support (210) and the horizontal support (220) may each be provided with a central ring (250, 260) as a fixing member in a mutually opposing direction when the horizontal support (220) is folded and parallel to each other. In addition, it is possible to form rings (250, 260) in other directions of the supports (210, 220) in addition to the opposing directions. Here, central rings (250, 260) are shown for connecting the angle limiting member (280), but the angle limiting member (280) can be connected not only in the form of rings but also with various fixing members with structures using connectors and pins. The central rings (250, 260) can limit the maximum angle formed by the vertical support (210) and the horizontal support (220) so that the horizontal support (220) does not spread out excessively by connecting the angle limiting member (280), such as a chain, rope, or angle adjustment bracket. In addition, to prevent interference between the supports (210, 220) when folded, instead of installing the central ring (250, 260) in the opposite direction, the central ring (250, 260) may be installed on the side facing the supports (210, 220).In FIG. 2, the central rings (250, 260) are shown as being connected using a chain, but as previously explained, ropes or angle-adjustable brackets may be used, but are not limited thereto; any component that is rigid and capable of changing shape may be used. For example, even when the horizontal support (220) is unfolded, it may be limited to a maximum angle of 90 degrees as in FIG. 2, but the angle is not necessarily limited to 90 degrees and can be flexibly varied depending on the situation. The vertical support (210) and the horizontal support (220) are connected by a connector (240), and the detailed structure of the connector (240) will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 6a and 6b. One end of the horizontal support (220) is connected by the connector (240), and the other end is provided with a descent device connecting ring (270) that can connect a descent device. One end of the vertical support (210) is connected to a connector (240), and the other end, which is the upper end, is provided with a hook (230). The hook (230) may be, for example, a D-shaped snap hook, and details of the hook (230) will be described later with reference to FIG. 3. The user installs the descent device support (200) by hanging the hook (230) on the upper bar (100). The upper bar (100) may include a fixing wing (110) for fixing the upper bar (100) to the ceiling, for example, using a fastener such as a bolt. Additionally, protrusions (120) may be optionally provided along the longitudinal direction of the upper bar (100). If the protrusions are formed at appropriate intervals, the descent device support (200) can be prevented from sliding along the longitudinal direction of the upper bar (100) and becoming unstable. However, this anti-sliding effect can be resolved by adding a friction member made of a material with a high coefficient of friction to the upper bottom side of the hook (230).

[0028] FIG. 3 illustrates the upper structure of a vertical support (210). For example, a snap hook may be utilized on the upper part of the vertical support (210). By utilizing the snap hook, the upper bar (100) can be easily inserted into the hook (230) by simply pushing it in when fixing it to the upper bar (100), allowing the support of the descent device to be installed without panicking in urgent emergency situations such as a fire. Additionally, the size of the snap of the hook (230) may be designed to be larger than the thickness of the upper bar (100), while the width (a) of the groove at the top of the snap hook may be designed to be narrower than the bottom so as to be equal to or have a slight margin of the thickness of the upper bar (100). For example, the width (a) may be 1.1 to 1.3 times the thickness of the upper bar. Such a structure improves stability so that the vertical support (210) does not shake when the vertical support (210) is hung on the upper bar (100). In addition, as a measure to improve the contact force between the upper bar (100) and the vertical support (210), a material to prevent slipping, such as a silicone pad or adhesive tape, is attached to the lower side of the upper part of the snap hook of the hook (230) to further ensure stability so that the vertical support (210) does not shake.

[0029] FIG. 4 is an enlarged view illustrating the lower structure of the vertical support (210) of the descent device support of FIG. 2. A hole (210) may be formed in the lower part of the vertical support (210). The hole (210) may be engaged with the hole (241) of the connector (240), described with reference to FIG. 6a and 6b, so that a pin is inserted, thereby fixing the support (210) to the connector (240). Since one end, i.e., the bottom end, of the vertical support (210) is fixed to the connector (240) and does not rotate, the shape of the bottom surface may be formed as a flat surface for ease of processing and can be firmly joined. An insertion groove (212) may be formed on the surface of the vertical support (210) facing the horizontal support (220) so that the central ring (260) of the horizontal support (220) can be inserted. The position and size of the insertion groove (212) are formed so that the central ring (260) of the horizontal support (220) can overlap, thereby enhancing convenience when the support (200) is folded for storage.

[0030] FIG. 5 is an enlarged view showing the detailed structure of the horizontal support (220) of the descent device support of FIG. 2. The vertical support (210) is provided with a hole (221) at one end opposite to where the descent device connecting ring (270) is provided. The hole (221) is intended to connect the horizontal support (220) by inserting a pin or the like into the hole (242) of the connector (240) to interlock them. A fixing pin (222) is provided in the direction of the connecting ring (270) from the hole (221), and the fixing pin (222) is intended to be inserted into the groove (243) of the connector shown in FIG. 6a and 6b so that the angle formed by the horizontal support (220) with the vertical support (210) increases and the pin (222) spreads out to form a certain angle (e.g., 90 degrees). Additionally, an insertion groove (223) into which the central ring (270) of the vertical support (210) can be inserted may be formed on the surface of the horizontal support (220) facing the vertical support (210). The position and size of the insertion groove (223) are formed so that the central ring (270) of the vertical support (210) can overlap, thereby enhancing convenience when the support (200) is folded for storage. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the horizontal support (220) can be folded parallel to the vertical support (210), which can have the effect of saving space when storing the support (200). Unlike the bottom surface of the vertical support (210) which is flat, the end of the horizontal support (220) connected to the connector (240) can be processed into the shape of, for example, a circle or an arc. This is intended to allow the horizontal support (220) to spread apart from or close again with the vertical support (210) without interfering with the bottom surface of the connector (240) at the connector (240). However, by adjusting the position where the hole (221) of the horizontal support (220) is formed, it may be possible to fold and unfold without interference even if it is processed into a flat surface.

[0031] FIG. 7 illustrates a variation of the present invention. As a variation of the present invention, for example, it is possible to form an insertion groove (212) along the longitudinal direction of the vertical support (210) shown in FIG. 4. By forming the insertion groove (212) in such a long manner, and making its width wider than the width of the horizontal support (220) shown in FIG. 5, the horizontal support (220) can be folded and stored inside the vertical support (210). In this case, the central ring (250) of the vertical support (210) can be omitted, and instead, a straight bar (-) can be formed in the insertion groove (212) in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the insertion groove (212) of the vertical support (210), thereby replacing the protruding ring (250) shown in FIG. 2. In addition, when designed in this way, the hole (221) of the horizontal support (220) can be fitted together with the hole (211) of the vertical support (210) to pass through the same axis as the hole (241) shown in FIG. 6a and 6b, thereby allowing the connector (240) to be manufactured without forming a hole (242).

[0032] FIGS. 6a and 6b are enlarged views of a connector (240) for connecting the vertical bar and the horizontal bar of the descent device support of FIG. 2. The connector (240) includes a hole (241) for fixing the vertical support (210) and a hole (242) that fixes the horizontal support (220) and serves as the axis of rotation of the horizontal support (220). The connector (240) may include a groove (243) into which the fixing pin (222) of the horizontal support (220) engages when the horizontal support (220) is spread apart from the vertical support (210). The groove (243) may be a vertical trench and may be processed by methods such as molding or cutting so that the side of the hole (241) has the shape of an arc, as shown in FIGS. 6a and 6b. If one side wall of the groove (243) is in the form of a vertical trench, the upper and lower widths are formed sufficiently large to allow the fixing pin (222) to enter the groove (243) by considering the depth of the groove (243), and if it is in the form of an arc, the lower end of the groove (243) can be formed smaller, similar in size to the fixing pin (222). The fixing pin (222) has the effect of contributing to improved stability by reinforcing the holding force of the vertical support (210) and the horizontal support (220) in the unfolded form.
