AI Technical Summary
During a power outage in a high-rise building due to a disaster, elevators are unusable, and it is physically exhausting for citizens to carry individuals up and down stairs, while rescue teams may take a long time to arrive, necessitating an urgent and efficient rescue method.
Ordinary citizens and rescue personnel use ropes and a special tanker equipped with metal fittings to lower individuals down the stairs, minimizing physical effort through a systematic approach involving dedicated fishing hardware and rope management.
This method reduces physical exertion and allows for the safe and efficient transport of multiple individuals, ensuring timely rescue with minimal effort.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] [Background technology]
[0002] When a major disaster occurs, most people think that it's okay because there are elevators. When a power outage occurs and it takes time for fire department rescue teams and rescue teams to arrive, there is no way for ordinary citizens to rescue people from high-rise buildings. Usually you have to rely on the elevator. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 05-192369 [Patent Document 2] Jipkaihei 07-012154 [Patent Document 2] Special Table 2014-521429 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] When elevators are unusable due to a power outage caused by a major disaster, it is physically exhausting for citizens to carry people up and down stairs in a tanker. When rescue teams take a long time to arrive, there is an urgent need to rescue people who have been seriously injured. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] Elevators are unusable due to a power outage caused by a major disaster. Rescue personnel may take a long time to arrive, and if there is a serious injury, it may be necessary to lower the person using a tanker up the stairs. Ordinary citizens cannot lower a tanker by carrying it. We suggest that ordinary citizens and fire rescue personnel use ropes to lower the person using a special tanker up the stairs, minimizing physical exertion. [Effects of the Invention]
[0006] It requires less physical effort from ordinary citizens and can transport a large number of people. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0007] [Figure 1] Dedicated fishing hardware With the dedicated fishing hardware, wind the rope 7 around the shaft 3, align the blocks 1 and 2, and fasten with the set screw 8 to store the rope. A weak leaf spring 29 is attached to prevent the rope 7 from getting tangled inside the dedicated hardware 5.
[0008] [Figure 2] Rope Storage Blocks 1 and 2: Rope 7 is wound around shaft 3. Rope Storage Blocks 1 and 2 are used together. Dimension A is for 3 ropes, and dimension B is for 10 ropes. If the space is too narrow, the winding pattern of rope 7 inside dedicated fitting 5 may change. Dimension C is 15cm long to prevent the rope from getting tangled inside the fitting, and the hole for the rope to enter and exit is as small as possible and is protected with a weak leaf spring 29.
[0009] [Figure 3] How to tie a rope This explains how to tie rope 7 to shaft 3. The thickness of shaft 3 needs to be changed to match the rope.
[0010] [Figure 4] Rope explanation: In Figure E, connect the ringed carabiner of rope 7A to tanker fitting 20, and operate rope 7B to lower the tanker. After lowering the tanker, pull rope 7A until it reaches the position of rope 7D in Figure F. Lightly press rope 7C and pull rope 7D. When rope wound position 10 moves to rope wound position 11, and the ringed carabiner of rope 7D is connected to the tanker of the next person to be rescued, the next person can be lowered. This is a special fishing fitting that does not require rewinding the rope.
[0011] [Figure 5] Rescue Tanker The tanker body 15 has four 60cm straight tires 16 and 17 attached, and a seat 19 is laid out on it. A safety seat belt 21 is attached to the seat 19, and a tanker bracket 20 is attached to the handle 18. The tanker body 15 has auxiliary handles 28 that can be used by rescuers on both sides to assist the tanker when descending stairs.
[0012] [Figure 6] Tanker steering mechanism A fulcrum pin 23 is attached to the tanker body, and moving the handle 18 left and right moves the tire 17 via levers 22 and 24, allowing the direction to be changed. A tanker fitting 20 is attached to the handle 18. The ring-equipped carabiner 12 of the special fitting 5 is attached to the fitting 9 that is used to hang the rope on the landing of the building, and the ring-equipped carabiner 6 attached to the rope 7 is attached to the tanker fitting 20 for use. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0013] Metal fittings for attaching ropes must be installed on the landing of the building. The equipment is lowered little by little using ropes in a special tanker, but regular joint training with the fire department rescue team is required. One or two people must be present on the side of the special tanker when lowering the equipment. The rope used should be soft, abrasion-resistant rope used for mountain climbing. [Industrial Applicability]
[0014] There is no risk of forgetting the rope coil when in a hurry, and it can be lowered with less physical effort, making it more likely that fire department rescuers will be able to use it.

Claims
1. A high-rise building rescue device that uses metal fittings attached to the landing of the stairs to lower a special tanker to a landing below the landing and a rope that has been set to a special fishing fitting before the disaster, allowing for a safe and reliable lowering with minimal physical effort. The special tanker is a high-rise building rescue device in which the person being rescued lies on their back with their knees bent and fastens two safety seat belts to descend the stairs, with their weight being placed on their buttocks and thighs. The dedicated tanker has four large straight tires of 60cm, making it easy to pass through passageways and roads, and there is little up and down movement when descending stairs, allowing the tanker to move smoothly at the beginning and end of the descent. A high-rise building rescue device in which a special fishing lug is set on the lug attached to the landing, and a carabiner with a ring, which had a special fishing lug rope set on it before the disaster, is attached to a special tanker, and after lowering one person, the rope does not need to be rewound, and the shortened rope of the special hanging lug can be set on the special tanker and reused.
2. One rope coming out of the dedicated fishing lug of claim 1 is connected to a dedicated tanker, and the other rope coming out of the dedicated fishing lug controls the speed at which the person being rescued is lowered. It is possible to lower the person with a light force, but it is not possible to let go of the rope. To stop the person being lowered again, the rope coming out of the dedicated fishing lug is fed back into the dedicated fishing lug, and the person can be lowered again. However, the other hand holds the rope tightly and holds it in place, stopping the movement of the rope when feeding it in, allowing the person to be lowered. This is a high-rise building rescue device.
3. The rope used in claim 1 is a high-rise building rescue device that uses a soft, wear-resistant rope for mountaineering.
