Definitions

• the present invention relates to external fire escape ladders for high-rise buildings and particularly to a series of ladders between the balconies of each floor, such that the occupants of the burning building can escape simultaneously descending from balcony to balcony, and then to ground level.
• Exterior ladders have been unsightly, and they allow entry o the building from the outside and ground levels. Also, the
• Figure 1 illustrates in perspective the present invention in operation between an upper balcony and a lower balcony, of a high-rise building.
• Figure 4 shows, in perspective, the over-the-top ladder in storage position.
• Figure 5 shows the safety belt with the ladder in disproportionate smaller size.
• the high-rise life escape ladder is referred generally with numeral 10.
• the ladder is shown between two solid walled terraces, upper terrace 20 and lower terrace 22, which are common in high-rise buildings.
• the high-rise life escape ladder provides a means for escape from terrace to terrace to the ground.
• Each terrace has a ladder, which is stored until needed. The storage system will be shown later.
• the over-the-top ladder 31 is folded back onto terrace 20, as shown in Figure 4, and becomes a decorative part of the terrace.
• Lower ladder 41 is stored in a flat position in box 60.
• Box 60 runs the length of the front portion of the terrace floor and has a hinged top door 61, and hinged front door 62.
• Front door 62 folds down on the terrace floor in a flat position allowing lower ladder 41 to slide out of the box 60 without being lifted.
• the lower end of ladder 41 points toward opening 23 as shown in Figure 2.
