An airplane emergency escape drone is shown and described. The airplane emergency escape drone includes a housing. The housing is made from a planar base, a plurality of sidewalk rising from the base, and a planar top secured to the top of the sidewalls. A door is located within one of the plurality of sidewalk. A motor is secured to the exterior of the planar top. A propeller is rotatably secured to the motor. A plurality of feet is secured to the exterior of the planar base.

Rapid evacuation of individuals from any building can be problematic. A hospital even more so as patient's often have the necessary motor skills but limited mobility. However, babies within neo-natal intensive care, infants and toddlers are particularly problematic as even under imminent danger they exhibit limited or no coordinated motor skills. In such situations an embodiment provides for evacuation devices for use by a single operator to move multiple infants or toddlers simultaneously both across a floor and down one or sets of stairs. Another embodiment provides for evacuation devices for moving intensive care neo-natal babies allowing the evacuation device to be moved by a single operator but allow another to be adjacent to the evacuation device to manually assist breathing both across the floor and within a stairwell as the evacuation device is taken down one or more sets of stairs.

An emergency escape system for high-rise building includes a launcher installed in a launch room/station of a given floor in a skyscraper and suspended by a spring-loaded reel of cable which is counterbalanced by the weights of the launcher which has mechanisms for floor retraction and movement control incorporated to it, and a descending ride unit on a guide rail which engages with the launcher and which conveys an escapee or a load whose weight upsets the equilibrium of the two opposing forces and while the ride unit disengages from the launcher when the launcher has descended through the retracted floor, the launcher returns to the launch station to maintain the equilibrium of the weight balance, leaving the descending ride unit to continue its motion down the shaft with its human cargo/es until brought to rest by a brake system of arresting cables with or without brake linings and drums; before safely ejecting the escapee/s from the ride unit away from the shaft.

A victim retrieval apparatus for use with a vehicle. In some embodiments, the rescue basket comprises one or more wheels. The articulating head of the boom comprises a rotatable pulley for receiving the rescue line and is able to allow the vehicle to be parked in any position necessary while rescuing the victim. A knot-passing pulley enables a safety line (with emergency brake device) to be coupled to the basket thereby ensuring the safety of the victim in the basket at all times. The rescue basket comprises a remote control for controlling the winch speed that is able to be located at the winch itself, or be of a hand-held nature and attached at the rescue basket instead of at the vehicle if visual contact is problematic.

An emergency system is disclosed that includes an elongated inflatable slide portion that in the inflated condition has an upper end portion, an enlarged lower end portion and a middle portion therebetween, the slide portion optionally further includes a pair of raised side portions to assist with retaining an evacuee on the slide portion. The system is moveable from a ready position inside the building to a deployed position outside the building, wherein, in an embodiment, a release button in the ready position is arranged and configured to face an interior wall of the building, and in the deployed position is arranged and configured to face outward and be readily accessible by a potential evacuee. The slide may optionally include side support members, one or more securement straps, and other features.

A vehicle includes a turntable rotatably coupled to a chassis, a platform coupled to the turntable, and a railing coupled to the platform. A control console includes a base section coupled to the turntable and spaced from the railing and a movable section that is movably coupled to the base section. An access opening is defined between the railing and the base section. The platform is accessible by an operator through the access opening. The movable section of the control console is selectively repositionable relative to the base section between a stowed position and an operating position. An operator interface of the movable section is configured to be accessed by the operator when the movable section is in the operating position. The movable section of the control console extends across the access opening when in the operating position, thereby limiting operator accessibility through the access opening.

The present invention relates to a rope type elevating device, and more particularly, to a rope type elevating device that can mechanically and safely control the falling speed even if a breakage occurs in the brake being electrically controlled during the elevating and descending operation.

The rope type lifting device of the present invention comprising an electronic braking device for winding a conveying rope to move the rope up and down by using power, and a mechanical braking device for mechanically moving the conveying rope up and down, characterizes in that the mechanical braking device comprises: an unlocking lever being rotated by an external force within a predetermined rotation range; a connecting portion connected to the unlocking lever and moving forward by a predetermined amount in conjunction with the rotation of the unlocking lever; a rotating body that rotates by the amount of advancement of the connecting portion and adjusts a pressing force applied to the conveying rope; and a stopper for limiting the rotation range of the rotating body and supporting the pressing force applied to the rope by the rotating body.
