A vehicle includes a chassis, tractive assemblies coupled to the chassis, a body assembly coupled to the chassis, a turntable rotatably coupled to the chassis, a platform coupled to the turntable and configured to support an operator, and a control console. The control console includes a base section coupled to the turntable and a movable section that is movably coupled to the base section. The movable section includes an operator interface configured to receive commands from the operator to control one or more systems of the vehicle. The movable section of the control console is selectively repositionable relative to the base section between a stowed position and an operating position. The operator interface is configured to be accessed by the operator when the operator is supported by the platform and the movable section is in the operating position.

An evacuation hauling system for transporting evacuation litters during an emergency. The hauling system includes a drive line forming a pathway between a first station and a second station, and a drive system operable by a drive prime mover to move the drive line between the first and second stations. An evacuation litter is detachably coupled to the drive line and is moveable along the pathway between the first and second stations as the drive line is moved. The hauling system may include a pulley supporting the drive line to maintain a separation between a transport leg of the pathway from the first station to the second station, and a return leg of the pathway from the second station to the first station.

A portable personal emergency escape device, having a protective sack, a cable and a securing member. The protective sack is made of fire resistant or fire proof material and is sufficient in size to hold and enclose an individual therein. A first end of the cable is attached to the protective sack. The securing member is configured to be secured to an inside of a building structure and is attached to a second end of the cable. The cable has sufficient length to allow the protective sack to extend from the securing member to an outside of the building structure. The protective sack hangs below an opening in the building structure when deployed to provide the individual a temporary escape while awaiting rescue from the dangerous condition.

The invention relates to a rescue cage (4) for a hoisting rescue vehicle (1) having a turntable ladder (3), comprising a cage base (5), a cage barrier (6) and at least one column-type support element (7) that projects from the cage base (5) and is located in the outer peripheral region of the cage base (5). A first receiving device (15) is arranged or formed on the cage base (5) in the area of the support element (7). On the side facing the cage base (5), the support element (7) includes a first connecting element (16) that is connected to the first receiving device (15) in such a way as to be detachable as required. The invention further relates to a hoisting rescue vehicle (1) equipped with a rescue cage (4) of said type as well as a person holding unit.

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.

In a descending apparatus for emergency escape, a first winding part around which a wire rope is wound and a second winding part positioned above the first winding part and rotating to allow the wire rope unwound from the first winding part to be re-wound therearound to generate braking power are configured on an inner side of a case, a decelerating device controlling a descending rate of the descending apparatus by reducing a rotation rate of the second winding part by the braking power generated according to rotation of the second winding part when the wire lope is unwound as the descending apparatus descends are configured on both sides of the first and second winding parts, and an operating lever adjusting a descending rate of the descending apparatus by controlling a rotation rate of the second winding part according to an operation of an escaper when descending using the descending apparatus is configured at an upper portion of the case, and a handle 46 is provided to allow the wire rope to be wound therearound to re-use the descending apparatus.

Since a structure of the descending apparatus is simplified, in case of an emergency, an escaper, without being panicked, may simply operate the descending apparatus to descend to the ground, and thus, an accident may be prevented. Also, when using the descending apparatus, the escaper may easily adjust a speed during descending and quickly operate such as adjust a speed, stop, and the like, during descending to cope with various dangerous situations that may occur during descending, and thus, safety of using the descending apparatus may be enhanced. In addition, after the descending apparatus is used, the unwound wire rope may be wound again, and the wound wire may not be unwound, whereby the descending apparatus may be used again.

A high rise building escape drone is shown and described. The high rise building escape drone includes of a frame. The frame has a spine secured to an upper housing. The upper housing secures a motor and a CPU operably connected to the motor. The motor is rotatably coupled to at least one propeller. A seat is secured to the spine below the upper housing. A control panel is secured to the seat. The control panel is operably coupled to the CPU and is capable to control the drone. A plurality of feet are secured to a bottom of the spine such that the feet support the drone.
