ABSTRACT:
The escape device of the present invention comprises an escape chute having an outer and an inner tube, the outer tube consisting of heat resistant material which surrounds the inner tube, the inner tube having a panel extending over a major portion such that an object in the chute contacting the panel will have its rate of descent retarded. A mounting bracket is associated with the upper end of the chute, the inner tube being attached to the mounting bracket such that a tapered entry from the upper end of the chute to a point below the upper end of the chute is formed. The outer tube is attached to the mounting bracket independent of the inner tube, so that the outer tube does not have to absorb load-carrying stress associated with objects descending in the chute. An air gap for insulation and ventilation is formed between the inner and outer tube.
