Definitions
- the present invention relates to an extension ladder, comprising at least two separate single ladders which in their starting position lie upon and are slidable in relation to one another, and where one of the two adjacent ladders includes guide means for the other.
- extension ladder is meant a ladder that consists of at least two single ladders and where there are employed auxiliary means, such as a line, to hoist the slidable single ladder.
- the extension ladder must have locking hooks, or drop hooks, which lock the ladder both during hoisting and in its extended position.
- An extension ladder when completely extended would be capable of reaching a length of up to 15 m.
- extension ladder As the single ladders are being hoisted, the lines will be gathered up continuously by the ladder itself, so that the line does not collect on the ground.
- the present extension ladder will also provide for more rapid extension, for example, against a wall, which could be a critical factor in a rescue situation.
- a line pull system comprising line guides over which the line runs and changes direction, that a first ladder at one end thereof is provided with first line guides, one on each side or two on the same side, and at the opposite end with a pair of third line guides on one side, that a second ladder is provided with second line guides, one on each side or two on the same side, and in addition a fourth line guide on the one side and at the same end as the third line guides, the line at a first end thereof being secured to the second ladder in the same end region as the second line guide and running to the first line guide and further to the second line guide, to the secondary second line guide, to the secondary first line guide, to the third line guide, to the fourth line guide, to the secondary third line guide and further to a drop hook device attached to the second ladder, which drop hook device engages with sections of the first ladder for locking thereto.
- the line can advantageously pass from the second line guide to the secondary line guide through a ladder rung.
- the stepping path on the ladder will be totally free of crossing and longitudinal lines.
- the line guides may be of any suitable type, such as funnel shaped holders, movable pulleys, castors or a combination thereof.
- the single ladder that is to be hoisted first can advantage ⁇ ously be equipped with a top wheel to rest against a wall or similar base.
- the extension ladder may also include support legs that afford four-point contact with the ground or floor so as to render it self-supporting and freestanding even when the entire ladder is fully extended.
- the line guides, pulleys or castors may be disposed in respective fittings which in turn are attached to the respective side members.
- the ladder may be manufactured from any suitable mater-ial, a practical and light-weight embodiment may presently be constructed of aluminum.
- extension ladder consists of more than two single ladders
- the respective lines can be marked, for example with the aid of coloring, so that the ladder sections may be hoisted in an appropriate sequence.
- Figure 1 shows an extension ladder in accordance with the invention, with partially hoisted single ladders, and seen from the front
- Figure 2 shows the ladder in accordance with Figure 1 seen from the end
- Figure 3 shows the ladder in accordance with Figure 1 seen from the side
- Figure 4 shows the principle for the line pull and the line guides.
- an extension ladder is shown consist ⁇ ing of four single ladders 10, 20, 30, 40.
- the extension ladder may consist of fewer or more single ladders
- the embodiment that is shown with four single ladders is particularly favorable with respect to compactness in collapsed position and the extent of its reach In hoisted position.
- the bottom ladder 10 is widest and the top ladder 40 is narrowest.
- Each single ladder comprises respective side members or stringers 5, 5'; 15, 15'; 25, 25'; 30, 30* and rungs 6, 16, 26, 36.
- the top ladder 40 may be provided with a top wheel 9 adapted to rest against a wall or the like during the hoisting operation.
- the ladder can advantageou ⁇ sly be manufactured of aluminum, which combines in an excellent manner the requisite rigidity, strength and light weight.
- the single ladders 10, 20, 30, 40 lie within one another, with the width for each single ladder decreasing by about two rail widths, which amounts roughly to a total of between 80 mm and 120mm.
- the side members are equipped with guide means (not shown) which allow each of the two adjacent single ladders to guide and support the other.
- Figure 3 shows the single ladders 10, 20, 30, 40 seen from the side and indicates how the single ladders lie within and guide one another.
- a locking device or drop hook (not shown), which is described in more detail in Norwegian patent no. 151.755.
- the drop hook has the capability of engaging with the rungs on the adjacent ladder so that the ladders may be locked in relation to one another for each step increment.
- Figure 1 also shows a rope pull or line pull for hoisting of the respective ladders.
- the line pull consists of a line 7 and respective line guides (1, 1'; 2, 2'; 3, 3';4) where the line guides in the embodiment shown are in the form of pulleys or castors. These may of course have other forms, such as an elbow tube with outwardly bent or flared holder openings in each end. It is important to keep clearly in view that there is an independent line pull between each pair of adjacent single ladders, so that in the four-part extension ladder shown there are three independent line pull systems, namely one between the single ladders 10 and 20, one between the single ladders 20 and 30 and one between the single ladders 30 and 40. Accordingly, only one line pull system between two single ladders will be described.
- the hoisting of the extension ladder will be done by first pulling up the narrowest ladder or the top ladder 40. Then the single ladder 30 is drawn up, taking with it the single ladder 40. Finally, the single ladder 20 is hoisted, in turn taking with it each of the extended single ladders 30 and 40.
- the line pull is schematically shown in further detail in Figure 4. From the figure it is apparent that the line pulls have the capability of changing the direction of the line 7 about an angle of either 90° or 180° As is apparent from Figures 1 and 4, the line 7 is fastened at one end to the bottom end of a side member 15 and runs up to a first pulley 1 and turns 180° down to a second pulley 2, then 90° and through a ladder rung 16 and to a secondary second pulley 2', then 90° up to a secondary first pulley 1' and 180° back down to a third pulley 3 and 180° up to a fourth pulley 4 and 180° back down to a secondary third pulley 3' and 180° back up to a drop hook (not shown), which is attached to the side member 15' of the ladder 20.
- a drop hook not shown
- the drop hook follows upwards with the side member 15' and is capable of lock-ing to a ladder rung 6 on the adjacent ladder 10.
- the part of the line 7 lying between the attachment to the side member 15 and the first pulley 1 becomes progressively shorter.
- the portion of line 7 lying between the secondary third pulley 3' and the drop hook is extended accordingly.
- the section of the line 7 lying between the first pulley 1 and the second pulley 2 and, respectively, the secondary pulley 2' and the secondary first pulley 1' becomes shorter, and this line is again taken up between the third pulley 3 and the fourth pulley 4 and the secondary third pulley 3'. In this way all of the line is accommodated and remains in the system without any of the line collecting on the ground.
- extension ladder would also function satisfactorily if all the line guides were placed on one side of the ladder.
- This embodiment form thus would also reside within the scope of the present invention.
- the embodiment form with line guides placed on both sides is presently a preferred embodiment form, since it affords a good distribution of force to both sides of the ladder during the extension thereof.
- the ladder may be equipped with support legs for four-point contact with the ground such that it forms a freestanding extension ladder unit.
- the ladder consists of more than two single ladders, it may be advantageous to mark the lines, for example by coloring, so that the single ladders are hoisted in a given sequence, preferably the top ladder 40 first, followed by ladder 30, and finally ladder 20.
- the respective line guides in the embodiment shown are disposed in fittings that are attached to the respective side members by, for example, riveting or welding.
