Emergency Escape System for Disabled Person to Escape a Building
A room, such as a bedroom, used by a disabled user is provided with a ramp-door installed within an opening in an exterior wall. The ramp-door opens to the outside. Embodiments intended for use on the first floor of a building open to contact the ground directly. Embodiments intended for use on upper floors of a building open to hang against the exterior wall. An overhead rail mounted within the room connects a fixed loading location to the opening of the ramp-door. An extension rail stored within the opening rotates into alignment with the overhead rail to place the rail terminus outside of the building a distance away from the exterior wall. A winch assembly may be driven along the overhead rail. The winch assembly supports a harness that may be raised and lowered, permitting a disabled user to access the outside and be lowered to ground level.
