ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a new and improved design associated with the fabrication and construction of a portable escape device wherein a cable is wound around a drum physically encased therein, said drum being mechanically interrelated with two separate and distinct brake mechanisms through a series of interrelated gears, the brake mechanisms capable of being automatically and/or manually actuated independent of each other or in combination therewith so as to control the rate of movement of said drum and thus regulate the rate of release of said cable wound around said drum. Furthermore, one of the brake mechanisms is air cooled and operates upon centrifugal force principals to achieve braking.
