Definitions

  • the invention relates to a safety device for emergency exits on vertical or sloping surfaces of buildings.
  • a lowerable and rotatable platform which is mounted on the facade of a building in front of a window.
  • the platform has frame bars on both sides of the frame of the window, which are rotatably mounted on the facade at their lower end.
  • the frame rods are connected to a crossbar at their upper ends.
  • the platform can be brought into the horizontal position and held in this position by chains from above. Iron crossbars, nets or similar between the frame bars serve as a base for the people to be rescued.
  • the US 4,090,585 describes a balcony-like emergency exit in front of a window, which consists of stable floor and railing parts. In the rest position, the emergency exit is folded up and, with the base part rotatably mounted on the building, folded upwards onto the vertical surface of the building. In an emergency, the emergency exit is swung down into the horizontal using gravity and unfolded.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a safety device for emergency exits, which is essentially invisible in the rest position against vertical or inclined outer surfaces of the building and can be moved to the position of use with simple steps before the emergency exit.
  • the invention solves the problem by the features mentioned in the characterizing parts of claims 1 and 2. Developments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.
  • the solutions according to claims 1 and 2 together include a safety bar which is pivotally mounted on the building and in the rest position, that is to say when the emergency exit is not used, lies as close as possible to the outer skin of the building below the emergency exit.
  • the safety bar which is easily accessible from the emergency exit, is raised and brought into its position of use.
  • the supports pivotably mounted on the safety bracket slide freely downward in the longitudinal direction of the guide rails, exceed the vertical to the guide rails in the pivot bearing of the supports and are supported on the lower ends of the guide rails at the stop. In this position, the safety bar with the supports in the guide rails forms a firm, stable frame for a safety device outside the respective building.
  • the supports are pivotally mounted on the structure and the other ends of the supports are freely movable in the longitudinal direction on the legs of the safety bracket, so that in the rest position they are parallel to the ends of the legs of the safety bracket.
  • the supports slide, in an equivalent manner to the solution according to claim 1, by the heavy weight of the supports or by means of restraint on the legs up to the stops in the area of the corners of the safety bar. In this Position is also a stable safety device created around the emergency exit.
  • both solution variants have a safety net which extends at least between the entire crosspiece of the safety bracket and the building.
  • the safety network is preferably folded up in a corresponding receptacle on the surface of the building below the emergency exit.
  • tread area for the people using the emergency exit inside the safety bar in the safety position.
  • tread area can be areas on the building itself or a separate tread surface is created, which is arranged on the building in a fixed or pivotable manner, so that it rests on the building in the rest position of the safety bar and is pivoted away from the building into a horizontal position of use in the safety position of the safety bar .
  • the people in need can move to the emergency exit outside the building with a high degree of security and stop there. This ensures in a first stage that the people can be supplied with fresh air in a safe position. In the second stage, people are picked up by emergency workers from the emergency exit, or they can get themselves from there using known means, e.g. B. a rope ladder, bring to the floor.
  • known means e.g. B. a rope ladder
  • the invention has the essential advantage that the respective persons are secured against falling on the emergency exit. Compared to emergency rescues via windows or parapets, there is a significant increase in security achieved and the recovery is accelerated significantly.
  • the specific implementation of the safety network depends in particular on the local conditions on the specific building. In any case, there must be the possibility that the people below the fixed safety bar can pass through the area of the safety net. That can e.g. B. be always a free page or there can be easily detachable connections within the safety network, which are opened in particular by helpers, so that the people can be freed through the safety network.
  • the invention can be further improved with additional features.
  • it can be advantageous to equip the safety bar with opening aids so that it can be easily lifted in the event of danger.
  • This can in particular be counterweights, mechanical springs or gas springs.
  • the safety device can in the rest position be partially or completely sunk or covered in the surface of the building.
  • FIG. 1 clearly shows that the safety device according to the invention is barely perceptible in its rest position.
  • a tilting roof window 6 is shown on an inclined roof 2, which is also intended to serve as an emergency exit.
  • an emergency exit 5 in front of the roof tilt window 6.
  • a safety device according to the invention is provided to secure the people who use the emergency exit 5.
  • the safety bar 4 encloses with its two legs 9 the entire width of the roof tilt window 6.
  • the safety bar 4 is closed by the crossbar 10.
  • a support 12 is pivotably arranged on the legs 9.
  • each support 12 has a carriage 13 which is freely movable in the longitudinal axis within the guide rail 7.
  • the drives 13 of the supports 12 are parallel to the ends of the legs 9.
  • the drives 13 roll freely downward within the guide rail 7 to a stop 15.
  • This stop is located below the Perpendicular 16 to the guide rail 7, which goes through the pivot bearing 11.
  • the safety bar 4 is stably supported on the supports 12 and forms a secure frame around the entire emergency exit.
  • the guide rails 7 are slightly spread downwards. This means that the supports 12 are also placed slightly obliquely outwards and the stability of the safety device is further increased.
  • the legs of the safety bracket 4 are in the rest position of the safety device parallel to the guide rails 7 close to the surface of the roof 2 and are optically in no way disturbing.
  • the roof tilt window 6 is opened and the safety bar 4 is pulled up.
  • the basket-like safety device is installed directly in front of the emergency exit.
  • people at risk are able to step out of the interior of the building.
  • emergency responders in particular the fire brigade, enable the people to be rescued safely by the safety device.
  • the people on the emergency exit 5 on the sloping roof 2 are against falling secured. No windows, parapets or similar have to be overcome during the following salvages, the emergency exit can be entered with great certainty.
  • the connecting bolts in the front part of the safety net 17 are opened by the emergency workers and the people in need can safely leave the emergency exit according to the circumstances.
  • a security device according to the invention is shown on a vertical house wall.
  • Such safety devices can be retrofitted from newer safety regulations, in particular to older high-rise buildings.
  • the safety device is mounted on a house wall 20 in front of a window 19.
  • window 19 is also intended to serve as an emergency exit.
  • the safety device has a safety bracket 21, the two legs 22 of which are pivotally mounted in two pivot bearings 23 on the house wall 20. Below the window 19 are in the vertical plane of the legs 22 of the safety bracket 21 in a pivot bearing 24 pivotally mounted supports 25. The upper ends of the supports 25 opposite the pivot bearing 24 are equipped with a sliding block 26 which is within the legs 22 in the Can be moved freely in the longitudinal direction. In the corner area of the safety bar there are suitable stops for the sliding blocks.
  • a safety net 29 is located between the crosspiece 27 of the safety bracket 21 and the front edge of the emergency exit 28.
  • the emergency exit 28 is pivotably mounted in a pivot bearing 30 on the house wall 20 and is secured via two lateral holding chains 31.
  • the safety bar 21 is designed so that the window 19 is not covered, ie that there is no obstruction.
  • the safety device can also be arranged recessed within the masonry of the house wall 20 in such a way that the safety device is largely invisible in the rest position.
  • the window 19 is opened and the crossbar 27 of the safety bracket 21, which is easily accessible below the window opening, is pressed forward and upward.
  • the supports 25 fall in their sliding bearing in the legs 22 outward to a stop below the perpendicular 32 to the legs 22 in the pivot bearing 24 and support the safety bracket 21.
  • the emergency exit 28 falls outwards until the holding chain 31 is tensioned.
  • the safety bracket 21 is raised, the safety net 29 also unfolds and the emergency exit 28 can be entered immediately after the safety device has been unfolded. The rescue of those in need occurs as in the previous example.
