Abstract:
A fire escape having a roller chain carried in a slotted vertically extending tube and driven to cause controlled downwardly movement in the tube. The roller chain carries ears which support molded plastic balls connected through the tube's slot to harnesses for escaping persons. The controlled movement of the chain allows even an unconscious person to be lowered from the top of a building safely to the ground.
