Benefits of technology

The present invention is a system for evacuating high-rise buildings in case of emergency situations. It allows occupants of upper floors to step out from the building's façade or wall and jump out using a parachute, which increases the chances of survival.

Problems solved by technology

These emergency stairways, as well as notoriously deteriorating the aesthetics of a building, bear the added drawback that the occupants of the building may not be able to access them, for example, in the case of a fire, the flames may block the passage to the emergency exits that lead to said stairs.
These systems present certain limitations, such as the need for an external supply of electricity, hydraulics or pressure, which themselves may be rendered unusable for a variety of reasons, such as faults, fires or terrorist attacks.
These former embodiments, like fire stairways, have specific points of access which, in case of fire or partial detachment of walls or ceilings, may become inaccessible, resulting in the trapping of persons on the inside of the floors.
Another drawback is their limited capacity of evacuation.

Embodiment Construction

[0012]The evacuation system applicable to buildings object of this invention is particularly suited to the evacuation of the upper floors of high-rise buildings when descent by other means, such as stairs, lifts or fire stairs on lower floors, is blocked. The evacuation system presents a series of characteristics intended to provide the necessary means for the occupants of upper floors to step away horizontally from the façade or wall of the building and jump out using a parachute with a high chance of success, as the risk of impact with the façade of the building is reduced by the horizontal distancing.

[0013]According to the invention, this evacuation system comprises:[0014]fixed frames, assembled at floor level in openings defined on at least one façade or exterior wall of the aforementioned upper floors of the building;[0015]windows assembled on the respective fixed frames by means of respective horizontal axis, arranged such that they correspond to the lower edges of the windows...

Abstract

Evacuation system applicable to buildings, in particular the upper floors of high-rise buildings. The evacuation system presents a series of characteristics intended to provide the necessary means for occupants of the upper floors to step away horizontally from the façade or wall of the building and jump out using a parachute, thereby increasing the chances of survival in an emergency evacuation.

Description

OBJECTION OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to an evacuation system applicable to buildings; in particular the upper floors of high-rise buildings. The present evacuation system presents a series of characteristics intended to provide the necessary means for occupants of the upper floors to step away horizontally from the façade or wall of the building and jump out using a parachute, thereby increasing the chances of survival in an emergency evacuation.FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention is applicable in the manufacture of passive security systems for buildings.BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION[0003]At present, various devices used for the evacuation of persons from buildings in cases of emergency are known, such as emergency stairways which are attached to the outside of the building, and which are accessed from different floors through emergency exits at specific intervals.[0004]These emergency stairways, as well as notoriously deteriorating the a...
