ABSTRACT:
An outside rescue elevator system is shown for use on a high-rise building. The elevator system can be installed on existing buildings, as well as being included in new construction. The system includes a dual compartment track mounted vertically on the outside of the building, and a wheeled truck operating within one of the track compartments, and a dual cable system is included with the truck for raising and lowering the truck within the track. A portable elevator cab is connected to the truck, and the cab includes a pair of stabilizing wheels, so that the cab actually rides on a smooth vertical roadbed that extends up the exterior wall of the building. The elevator cab is provided as part of a mobile unit which includes a self-propelled truck, a motor/generator set mounted on a trailer that is pulled by the truck, so that the mobile unit may be stored in a remote location such as a fire department station house, and brought to the scene of a fire emergency at one of a plurality of high-rise buildings that is serviced by this safety system. The motor/generator set serves as an independent power supply for the cable hoist system of the building. Suitable safety measures are employed for maximum security. An important phase of this system is the provision of refuge areas on predetermined floors within the building in cooperation with the outside rescue elevator system for protecting the occupants of the building from smoke and fire during the rescue operation.
