1 Claim.
This invention relates to improvements in iire escapes and has for its object to provide a simple and efcient device that can be secured to the wall on the inside of a dwelling, near a window,
5 and held in a compact condition, ready for use at any time.
A further object of the invention is to so construct the device that when Weight is placed on the cable, or chain, a coiled spring would be 1CDJ brought into operation to afford a cushioned ci fect and relieve the strain on the eye bolt to which the cable, or chain, is connected.
The invention consists of the novel construction and arrangement of the parts and combination of partsI hereinafter more fully set forth in A the following speciiication, and pointed out in detail in the appended claim.
Figure 1 is a iront elevation or" my invention in the open position, ready for use.
20 Figure 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Figure Referring to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specication, and in which like reference numerals designte like parts through- 5 out the several views thereof, i designates a box, preferably made of' metal, and having a hinged door 2. The box is held to the wall of the building on the inside of a room, near a Window, by the eye bolts 3 which have the eyes on the in 30 side of the box i. The cable 5 is secured by one end to one of the eyes l and is adapted to be wound in the box l, as, shown in Figure l of the v drawing, and has a snap hook 6 on its other end.
A coiled spring 1 is secured by one end to the other eye 4 and has its opposite end secured to the cable 5 by the clamp 8. When the device is not in use, it is folded, as shown in Figure 1 of the drawing, and the door 2 is kept closed, and when the device is to be used, the cable is re- 5 moved from the box and dropped out the Window. When anyone is sliding down, or otherwise using the cable, the strain Will not all be on the eye to which the cable is connected, but will pull against the spring 'I and form a cushioned eect. lo A person can be lowered down with the cable by placing the same around the body and snapping the cable in the snap hook 6. It Will thus be seen that the weight on the cable 5 has a tendency to pull it down in vertical alignment With the eye to which it is secured, thereby pulling on the spring l, thus forming a cushioned eiect and placing the strain on both of the eyes Instead of using the cable 5, as heretofore referred to, a chain may be employed. 20
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:
A fire escape comprising a box, two eye bolts in horizontal alignment projecting through the back of said box and adapted to hold it to a Wall, 25 a cable having one end secured to one of said eye bolts and adapted to be held in said boX when coiled and having a snap hook secured to its free end, a coiled spring having one end secured to the other eye bolt and its opposite end secured 34A to said cable, and a hinged door to close said box when the iire escape is not in use.
