  • Canister contained emergency boat ladder
    Patent number: 5074236
    Abstract: An emergency ladder system in which a flexible ladder is contained in a separate canister includes a flexible leader which exits the canister and is attached separate from the canister to a strong fixture, such as a hook, eye or cleat in a boat railing. A lanyard hangs from the canister, and a pull on the lanyard by, for instance, a person overboard causes the canister to open and the ladder to fall into an emergency position away from the canister.
