Abstract:
A full body emergency descent system (EDS) for incorporating into the coat and pants of a firefighter, outside the protective interior liners for same, to allow for safe escape from elevated heights. The EDS includes: a panel housing flame resistant rope or cable into the coat with a pair of chest straps, and a pair of leg straps having lower buckles that can be fastened through pocket accesses to buckle connectors extending from each of a pair of leg loops incorporated into the pants thus forming a full body harness. The EDS further includes a purposefully designed control descent rack in and through which the rope/cable is wound and a friction braking handle.

Claim (Index 11):
An emergency descent system for incorporating into a new or used pair of firefighter coat and pants, said emergency descent system comprising:\n a panel having a pair of chest straps, said chest straps being stored outside a protective internal liner to said firefighter coat, said panel having a plurality of horizontally extending rope holders for holding in a back-and-forth, substantially vertically extending pattern a flame resistant rope, said flame resistant rope having a free end adapted for anchoring to a fixture to effect a slow descent by a wearer of the firefighter coat, each of said chest straps terminating in a buckle that is stored in an inside pocket of the firefighter coat for: (i) retrieval from the inside pocket; and (ii) connection about the wearer of the firefighter coat when needed to effect a controlled descent in an emergency situation; a pair of leg loops, each loop incorporated in a leg of the firefighter pants outside any protective internal liner to said firefighter pants, each loop having a buckle at one end for connecting to a buckle in the firefighter coat and forming a full body harness; a control descent rack having a plurality of apertures through which said flame resistant rope is threaded in a predetermined pattern; and a friction braking handle for use by the wearer to either: (i) slow how rapidly the flame resistant rope passes through the control descent rack; or (ii) stop the flame resistant rope from passing through the control descent rack.
