SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 283,968, dated August 28, 1883.
i Appiieanon filed Aprii 2, 1883. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom it may concern Be it known that L HENRY B. CHURCH, of Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in FireEscapes, of which the' following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the annexed drawings, forming part of this specification.
This invention relates to the class of reescapes in which a sheet or other suitable fabric is spread and supported on springs to receive a person jumping from a window or house-top; and the invention consists or" the novel construction hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of my improved ire-escape- Fig. 2 is a detail view, partly broken away; and Figs. 3 and 4. are perspective views, showing the device done up in bundles for transportation.
B indicates four standards or blocks, having pivoted brace-legs B2, and connected together 'by chains B. To these standards are secured upright posts, consisting of the gas-pipes A, rigidly secured thereto, and the gas-pipes C, inclosing and adapted to slide up and down the pipes A. The pipes C are provided with collars D and set-screws E at their lower ends, which screws are adapted to be set against the pipes A, to support the pipes C at any desired height thereon. On the pipes C are adjust able collars G, having setscrews H, and to these collars are connected coil-springs F, which surround the pipes C, and are provided with bearing-collars G at their upper ends, for supporting in an elastic manner the canvas frame J. This frame is provided at its four corners with holes vfor receiving the upper ends of the pipes C, and is adapted to'slide up and downthe said pipes.
To opposite ends of the canvas frame are secured canvas aprons K, having handles L at their lower en ds, by which they are to be held by persons standing on the ground. 'The per! son being rescued from a burning building is to jump on the canvas frame J, which isito be The aprons K are to be rolled up, as shown in i Fig. 3. When the frame J is removed, the posts may be tied in a bundle, as shown in Fig. 4.
NVhat I claim isf 1. The combination, with the supporting posts and springs, of the canvas frame having the aprons K, provided with handles L, and adapted to be held in an inclined position by persons standing on the ground, substantially as shown and described.
2. The combination, with the extensible posts formed of pipes A C, of the canvas frame J, having holes at the corners to receive the pipes C, and the adjustable springs F, having bearing-collars G', and collars G andscrews H for adjusting said springs on the pipes C, substantially as shown and described.
3. The combination, with the posts and can-v vas frame J of the standards B, having pivoted brace-legs B2 and connectingchains B',
