Description

Emergency device for descents on Facades of buildings.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a device emergency for descents on building facades, planned for use in emergencies in order to allow slide through a window outside the house and descend to the ground using a cable that is part of the own device.

Background of the invention

It is a fact that under certain circumstances in residential buildings, as can happen in cases of fires, etc., sometimes the occupants of those homes are they are locked on the stairs and / or in the elevator without power go out a window to descend the facade, so in quite a few occasions fatal accidents occur like consequence that there are people who when cornered by the Fire prefer to throw themselves in a vacuum rather than burn.

Description of the invention

The emergency device that is recommended, has It was conceived to solve the problem described above, as well as to be used in other circumstances or for others needs, whenever you want to carry out a safe descent, Fast, smooth and simple.

This device is formed from an external support, in the form of "U", whose lateral fins are perforated to support an axis with the coil that is housed inside. Said lateral fins constitute the brake discs, in the parts that correspond internally with the outer faces of the
coil.

The inner support is smaller and smaller thickness, with its "U" shape. It is placed inside the external support, crosswise and independently. The parts side of this support closes half of the coil and when they are longer they close them completely, except for the bottom where it comes out the wire. In both cases, these lateral fins prevent the cable can get out of the coil, while protecting your hands during the operation of the device.

The shaft is fixed at one end and threaded by the another, for the braking operation using the throttle fins

The braking action is performed between the side of the coil and the inner face of its support, which are completely adjusted together so that the coil is initially locked, when the brake lever is tight.

When this palomilla is loosened, it allows the outer support fins can open very slightly, due to to its minimum flexibility and because of the tension of the cable it holds to the user, controlled by the brake lever.

This device is used, tying its ring to the harness carabiner and the other cable end carabiner to a firm point in the house, to slide through a window and descend gently to the ground. The device can also be used from the home, with small auxiliary cable, to lower a disabled person.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows a representation according to an exposition perspective of the different components that they constitute the emergency device for lowering facades of buildings, object of the invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective view of the device with the coil half covered by the fins of the interior support, complete with all its elements.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

The preferred embodiment is that of the device with the semi-covered coil to better appreciate your conformation (Fig. 2).

In view of the figures outlined you can observe how the device of the invention is constituted to from an external support (1) of "U" configuration, whose branches or lateral wings (2) have a semicircular shape, in this case, with a hole in its center that supports the shaft (7) with the coil (8).

Said lateral fins (2) constitute the brake discs in the parts that correspond internally with the outer faces (9) of the coil.

The side faces of the coil (8) are depressed about 0.2 mm. In its central part, so that the braking is Perform abroad.

The inner support (3) is smaller and smaller thick, with the shape also in "U". It is placed in the inside of the outer support (1), crossed and independent, The lateral parts of the support (3), close the half of the coil (8) (Fig. 2) and when they are longer they close it totally except for the bottom where the cable (10) comes out. In both cases these side faces prevent the cable (10) from leaving the coil (8), while protecting hands during operation Of the device.

The two supports are joined together by a through bolt of the ring (4) that joins the two covers of the supports (1) and (3), with the intermediate reinforcement of a plate (not represented), to give solidity to all the covers of the brackets, In addition there is a handle (5) for user grip.

The shaft (7) is fixed at one end by a stop on the outer support (1) and threaded at the other end (11), where the following elements are found: two conical washers (not shown) in contact by its outer edges, the flipper (12) of fins and a flat washer with a "click" of retention .

The braking action is performed between the sides (9) of the coil (8) and the inner face of its support, that are rough and perfectly adjusted to each other, so such that the coil (8) is initially blocked, while the Palomilla (12) is tight.

However, when the palomilla is loosened (12) allows the fins (2) of the outer support (1) to open very slightly due to its small flexibility, which allows that the cable (10) is unwound by the weight of the user, lowering Gently up the street by regulating the moth (12) braking.

These devices must be made of alloys. light heavy duty as used in the manufacture of mountaineering carabiners.

The cable used is 3 mm steel. thick and tensile strength of 550 K. which is sufficient if not braking occurs or the device is misused.

For the use of this device, it tie your ring (4) with the harness carabiner and the other carabiner (13) from the end of the cable (10) to a firm point of the living place. The carabiner can be tied to the same ring Harness of a child.

In the case of disabled people, you can operate the device from a window of the house, using a Small auxiliary cable, by another person. The auxiliary cable is attached to the firm point of the house with a carabiner and to the ring for the other end with another carabiner. The cable carabiner device hooks to harness of the disabled.

As is evident, the dimensions of the device They may be larger or smaller, depending on the length of the cable.
