Description (No ModeL) G. RYBR. HRB ESCAPE. No. 303,955i Patented Aug. 5, 1884. /fz vez? fa): N, PETERSA Pnomumognpher. wasmngmn C4 c. UNITED STATES PATENT Enron. GEORGE REER, oF ROCKY rnLL, coNNEcrrcur. FIRE-ESCAPE. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 303,055, dated August 5, 1884. Application filed February 2G, 1883. (No model.) . Fig. 2 is a view of the Vdevice used with the ladder. The letters a e denote two ropes,preferably of fibrous material, made fire-proof, and by preference also Water-proof, and provided at the ends with hooks b,for taking hold of a window-sill or the like. Both ends may have such hooks, if desired. The letters c denote the rungs of a ladder made of some material which is stiii' in distinction from material that is pliable like a rope. `In the present case they are made of wood with holes near the ends, through which y the ropes a pass,lwhich ropes are knotted on i both sides of each rung, so as to hold the rungs inv place. V I deem it essential that the ropes of this ladder should beof iibrous material, in order that they may be very flexible, so that the contrivance may be carried in a portmanteau or stored under the bed; and in connection with such brous ropes it is essential that the run gs he `made of some stiff material-as Wood or the like-so that when a person steps upon a rung the two ropes at the sides shall not be drawn together. The hooks at the end are essential that the device may be attached to the inside of a WindoW-sill,or to any convenient object in a bed-chamber. In Fig. 2 I showa device for use in connection with the ladder, which is shown in Fig. 1, the fact being that most Women and children and many timid men and boys could hardly be got to descend a ladder Without some other protection. This device I am now about to describe aiiords such protection. It consists of a knotted rope, d, looped at the upper end, -so that a person in the chamber may get a good grasp of it. The knots permit the person who is descending` the ladder to get a goed grasp ofthe rope. At the lower end thereof there is a padded strap, e, for encircling the person about the Waist or under the arms, with loops at the end, through which the lower end of the loop d is slip-noosed, so that a pull on the rope gives the padded strap a firm embrace of the person who is descending the ladder. This device I intend to be used in con junction with the ladder shown in Fig. 1,When a Weak or timid person is descending. The padded strap e is slipaioosed under the Waist'. The person descending may or may not take hold of the knots in the rope. The upper end of the rope is held meanwhile by a person in the room above, who pays out the rope as the person on the ladder descends. . I claim as my improvement- 1. The padded safetystrap c, combined with a slip-noosed and knotted rope, d, all substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth. 2. rIhe combination of the ladder and the device composed of the padded strap c and slip-noosed and knotted rope d, all substantially as described, and'for thc purpose set forth. GEORGE- RYER. lVitnesses: W. E. Sii-ioni), C. L. BURDE-rr.

Found at the 20th street exit. According to the park attendant, usually a 'renegade caberet' singer holds court on this fire escape.
