ABSTRACT:
Rescue apparatus is disclosed comprising a projectile launched from a launching tube, one end of the projectile having grappling hook members projecting therefrom, the opposite end of the projectile having fins for stabilizing the projectile in flight and a pully mounted intermediate the ends for receiving a rope which is payed out from two storage containers separated a sufficient distance so that the rope does not entangle with the fins of the projectile when the projectile is in flight. Once the grappling hook is set in an area where a rescue is to be attempted such as the roof of a building, the rope may be employed to raise a ladder to that point where the grappling hook is secured. A winch is also provided for assisting in either raising the rope or other apparatus needed in the rescue operation.
