DEVICE FOR EMERGENCY DESCENDING FROM HIGH-RISE STRUCTURES Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A62B1/00 

FIELD: rescue engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to devices intended for rescuing people under extraordinary situations such as fire or other emergencies. The device for emergency descending of an individual from the high-rise structures consists of a support element. The support element is provided with fastening facilities to be fixed on a rescued person's back and connected with the enclosed folded parachute through the rod-shaped absorption means. The device is provided with a driven absorption rods separation mechanism. By ends absorption rods of one group are rigidly connected to the support element and to chamber located in the low base of pneumatic parachute framework. The rods belonging to the other group are rigidly fixed to the low base of pneumatic parachute framework by one ends and to rods separation mechanism by their other ends. The landing gondola is implemented in the form of cylindrical body. There is an elastic diaphragm under support element inside gondola, which is rigidly connected to the chamber located in the low base of pneumatic parachute framework.

EFFECT: improved effectiveness of device due to suppression of part of absorption rods operation during light-weight persons landing and improved liability due to gondola design change.
