ABSTRACT:
A fire escape in the form of a flexible mesh tube attached to a frame which is sized to permit passage of a human therethrough is provided. A rope extends at least partially through the tube and is contacted by a rope engaging member which is securable to a person in transit in the tube so as to guide his descent therein along the rope. Desirably, the tube is relatively small in cross-section but elastic, to frictionally engage the person descending therethrough to slow his descent. The fire escape tube telescopes to a compact package for storing next to a window in an upper story of a building.
