Description

Device for the evacuation of people in buildings

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a device for the evacuation of people in buildings, specifically to be able to quickly and easily carry out the evacuation of one or several people, even simultaneously, of a building that is on fire. The device turns out practical when evacuating people in the situation previously mentioned it is not possible to do it through the Conventional exits established in the building.

The object of the invention is to provide a structurally simple device, easy to install, with a minimum volumetric occupancy, and with virtually maintenance null, allowing the evacuation of several people in a way Simultaneously, and all with acquisition and installation costs extremely small

Background of the invention

In the practical scope of the invention, that of fire evacuation devices, It is common to use in certain types of stair building denominated "of fires", constituted on the basis of a structure arranged externally on the facade of the building, allowing to evict said building, constituting a way of secondary evacuation in front of conventional stairs established in the building.

However, this type of stairs, depending of the layout of the building floor, they can be arranged at a considerable distance from certain habitats of the houses, so that the defined space between them in Sometimes it may be hindered by the fire itself, not being able to access the stairs.

In any case, these types of devices It is extremely bulky, expensive and anti-aesthetic, in addition to constituting a way of entrance in front of possible thieves, so their employment is reduced basically to buildings that are required by law to incorporate them, due to the nature or specific characteristics of the building.

Description of the invention

The device for the evacuation of people in buildings according to the invention, has been designed to solve the problem discussed above, fully satisfactory, thanks to a special structuring extremely Compact, resistant and easy to install.

More specifically, the device of the invention consists basically of three elements fundamental, one as a fixing column between floor and ceiling, in the interior of a room in the building, assembly of said column that will be done in front of a window, through which will carry out the evacuation of the person or persons.

A second element or fundamental part of device is an outer plate that is fixed by emerging studs perpendicular to it, on the inner column, after passing these studs or screws to through holes made for this purpose in the wall of the building, such that this outer plate is distanced from the wall, on the outside of it, to receive the assembly of an arm folding equipped with a hook ring for harnesses, ropes, etc., so that the people to evacuate will go out the window and will be lifted through the folding arm, which in use situation will be arranged horizontally outwards, going down slidingly through those ropes, harnesses or elements of appropriate descent.

As you can see, the three parts or fundamental elements that participate in the device of the invention, they are easy to make and install, being preferably materialized in metal, which can be iron, steel stainless or any other, provided you are endowed with adequate properties to prevent oxidation.

As for the length of the folding arm, it will be variable and according to the height of the floor, since the higher it is the floor through which the evacuation will be carried out, but length must have said arm.

In any case, the device allows the simultaneous evacuation of up to four people, supporting a weight which can be up to 400 kg, not needing any type of maintenance and only one review every 10 or 15 years.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that then it will be done and in order to help a better understanding of the features of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization thereof, is accompanied as an integral part of that description, a set of drawings in where illustrative and not limiting, it has been represented the next:

Figure 1.- Shows a representation according to an overview of the inner support column that participates in the constitution of the device of the invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective view of the outer plate intended to be fixed on the column represented in the previous figure, also participating in the set of the device of the invention.

Figure 3.- Shows a perspective view of the third fundamental piece of the device, consisting of a folding arm that is mounted on the outer plate represented in Figure 2

Figure 4.- Shows an elevation view side of the device assembly ready for use.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As you can see in the figures outlined, the device of the invention is constituted by association and assembling three fundamental elements, referenced with the numbers (1, 2 and 3) respectively, constituting the element (1) a metal support column, which may be formed, for example, by a plate as represented in the Figure 1, with holes (4) and a pair of extreme sections (5) folded perpendicularly with respect to the body of the column (1), and with holes (6).

This element or column (1) will be arranged in the inside the building, facing a window and will be anchored between the floor (11) and ceiling (10) of the building room, such fixing being carried out by means of anchors such as screws or similar through the holes (6) of the wings or extensions that form the perpendicular sections (5), so you are extensions or perpendicular sections constitute flat surfaces of seat on the commented ceiling and floor of the building.

Once the inner column (1) of the manner referred to above, the drilling of the wall (7) of the building, for the passage through respective stud holes or screws (8) that emerge perpendicularly to the outer plate (2), as an element that also participates in the constitution of the device, plate (2) that is arranged on the outer and vertical plane of the wall (7) of the building, fixing through the studs or screws (8) to the internal column (1) by tightening with nuts and Locknuts (9), as shown in Figure 4.

In this way, column (1) is perfectly fixed between roof (10) and floor (11), and the plate exterior (2) fixed externally to the building, safely and effective, with the special feature that on the commented outer plate (2) is where the swingarm is mounted, the folding arm (3) which is provided at one of its ends with some lugs (12) with holes for articulation with fixed rings (13) provided for this purpose on the front of the outer plate (2), counting this one also with other rings or fixed elements (14) to anchorage of the end of some cables (15) of subjection of the own arm folding (3), since those cables (15) from its anchor end (14) run until reaching the folding arm (3), looking at holes (16) thereof.

In an inoperative position, the arm (3) is is folded and held on the plate (2) through a magnet (17), while in use position it will be enough to push said folding arm (3) towards the horizontal position shown in the figure (4), so that through a ring (18) provided in the end of such arm (3), the lifting and evacuation is carried out of people, using ropes, harnesses and other elements of decline.

The fundamental elements (1, 2 and 3) that participate in the constitution of the device will be preferably metallic, such as stainless steel, without discarding iron, in which case they would be chrome plated to prevent oxidation.

The device can also be complemented with the corresponding masks, and in any case highlight that both the ropes, harnesses, masks, as well as the hardware, may be marketed jointly bagged or in a box appropriate.
