Fire escape chamber with outer cage and inner cage
A fire escape chamber includes a hermetically sealable outer cage with outer side wall elements, with an outer floor element and with an outer ceiling element. Fire protection insulation layers are provided on the inner sides of the outer elements with some fastened by pin elements, which protrude from the outer side wall elements and from the outer ceiling element into the respective fire protection insulation layers. An inner cage has inner side wall elements, an inner ceiling element and an inner floor element. The inner floor element is mounted in a supporting manner on the fire protection insulation layer of the outer floor element. The inner side wall elements and the inner ceiling element are formed by a plurality of support structure elements, on the inner sides of which panels are, in turn, fastened. The support structure elements are located at spaced locations from the pin elements.
Portable Building Containing Cabinets for Safely Storing Hazardous Production Materials
A storage system comprising a portable building having a climate-controlled interior space and a plurality of hazardous materials storage cabinets disposed in the interior space. The portable building contains no water sprinklers and no smoke detectors and has a floor that is sealed to prevent leakage of liquid. Each cabinet comprises metal double walls separated by an air space and a liquid-tight containment sump. Each cabinet is configured so that fire cannot spread from a space above a shelf to a space below the shelf. The storage system further comprises an electrical power connection and an HVAC unit mounted to an exterior of the portable building.
FIRE EVACUATION ROOM
The present invention relates to a fire evacuation room that provides a space installed indoors in a high-rise building such as an apartment block so as to provide a person who is unable to escape outside with a space in which to safely take refuge. The present invention can be installed indoors in an apartment or in a basement of a building as desired so as to enable a person unable to evacuate outside the building to safely evacuate, wherein a predetermined pressure differential can be constantly produced by suitably controlling the amount of air entering the evacuation space and the amount of air leaving the evacuation space, thereby compensating for the occurrence of leaks inside the evacuation space by damage due to falling objects and the like, and thus a fire evacuation room can be provided that completely mitigates a shortage of air for breathing. Furthermore, the present invention can provide a fire evacuation room that can improve the overall efficiency of the system for air provision by unified operation of the air supply for each fire evacuation room installed on each story of a building by connecting the various air intake pipes to pipes of the ventilation system of the building or to separate pipes of the blower equipment inside the building. In addition, an air forced discharge fan which is installed in the interior wall surface inside the evacuation space is linked in operation to opening and closing of a door so as to actuate the air forced discharge fan, so as to be able to forcibly discharge air inside the evacuation space when the door is open and consequently, the evacuation space is able to block the entry of smoke or heat to the inside from the outside. In addition, the present invention provides a fire evacuation room wherein a branch pipe is formed on one side of an air intake pipe through which air flows into the inside of the evacuation room main body, and a filter device capable of purifying toxic gas such as smoke, in addition to oxygen generator that generates oxygen, is installed on the branch pipe so as to block the entry of external toxic gas while simultaneously supplying air to the inside of the evacuation room main body for evacuees to breathe, or by operating an air storage tank by utilizing the frame space of the evacuation room main body, so as to implement a new system that supplies air into the inside of the evacuation room main body for evacuees to breathe, thereby completely eliminating such problems as toxic gas flowing inside the fire evacuation room and protecting the safety of evacuees to the maximum.
WILD-FIRE PROTECTED SHED FOR STORAGE AND PROTECTION OF PERSONAL PROPERTY DURING WILD-FIRES
A wild-fire protected shed structure for installation on a parcel of real property, or within a garage, and having a fire-protected internal storage space for storing and protecting diverse items of personal property during raging wild-fires. The wild-fire protected shed structure has a Class-A fire-protected wood-frame structure constructed from Class-A fire-protected lumber, and having an interior side and an exterior side. Radiant energy insulation is installed on the exterior side of said wood-frame structure, for insulation to radiant energy sources located outside of the wild-fire protective shed structure. Thermal energy insulation is applied to the interior side of the wood frame structure, to provide thermal energy insulation to the interior of the wild-fire protected shed structure to maintain the interior temperature relatively cool, despite extreme temperatures outside while wildfires are circling the wild-fire protected shed structure. Class-A fire-protected fiber cement panels are installed over the radiant energy insulation, to provide fire protection to the radiant energy insulation. A fire-door is installed in a front door way portion of the Class-A fire-protected wood-frame, providing essential fire-protection from the door way portion of the wildfire-protected shed. Also, a Class-A fire-protected steel roofing system is mounted on the roof portion of the wild-fire protected shed structure.
