A telescoping ladder is provided, that includes a plurality of columns disposed in a nested arrangement for relative axial movement in a telescopic fashion between a fully-extended position and a collapsed position. The columns are connected to rungs by way of connector assemblies. Each connector assembly has a locking pin moveable between an extended position or a retracted position for extending into or retracting out of openings of adjacent columns to selectively lock or release the columns respectively. The telescoping ladder includes a plurality of actuators that permit collapsing the ladder in a sequential manner, the sequence involving collapsing the columns on a lower portion of the ladder prior to collapsing columns immediately thereabove.

The present invention relates to a facility comprising: a fixed frame fixedly installed on an outer wall of a veranda or a balcony of a high-rise building; a foldable evacuation box which can be unfolded in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped having an open top side and has and evacuation door on a side thereof; a fall prevention and evacuation means which can be structurally changed to an emergency stairway for fire evacuation; an evacuation box locking means which allows the foldable evacuation box to be unfolded in a rectangular parallelepiped form; a locking means which holds and fixes the fall prevention and evacuation means to the fixed frame; and an entry prevention door which prevents an evacuee from entering inside a veranda or a balcony from the foldable evacuation box through the fixed frame.

The present invention provides a pool ladder with an automatic wash-down system for cleaning a person's feet before entering a swimming pool. The pool ladder includes a staircase to allow a person to climb into the swimming pool. The wash-down system includes nozzles positioned in the staircase to direct water spray towards the person's feet. The wash-down system further includes sensors to detect the presence of the person on the staircase and a controller to regulate the flow of water to the nozzles, based on signals from the nozzles, for automatic washing of the person's feet when the person is standing on one of the steps of the staircase.

A multipurpose hands-free carrying apparatus that includes a main body, an upper bracket, a lower bracket, a first support section, a second support section, and a retaining portion. The upper bracket curvingly extends from the main body. The lower bracket curvingly extends from the main body. The lower bracket is positioned proximate to the upper bracket. The lower bracket comprises an aperture. The first support section longitudinally extends from the main body. The second support section longitudinally extends from the main body opposite the first support section. The retaining portion extends from the main body opposite the upper bracket, is resiliently coupled to the main body. The retaining portion is also positioned proximate to the upper bracket opposite the lower bracket and configured to demountably couple the apparatus to a garment.

A multi-strap device used to carry a ladder in a horizontal orientation. The ladder carrier system is comprised of central straps configured to attach to the upper rail of a ladder with an integrated handle and pouch. The central straps comprise a cinch strap to secure the ladder from opening or extending. Straps outboard the central straps are configured to further secure the ladder for transport and to provide anchor points for the attachment of a shoulder strap. The pouch contains one or more integrated pockets to store straps when the system in not deployed.
