Abstract: The escape of the present invention is installed in each storey of a building and comprises a storage space for the escape, a sliding platform, and an escape passageway. The storage space is formed in each storey of the building to have a configuration of a rectangular parallelepiped. The storage space has an opening in an external wall of a building. The platform is normally put away in the storage space and, in case of emergency, slides out from the opening of the storage space to form a landing of the escape passageway. The escape passageway is put up in the platform while one end of the passageway is pivotally attached to the platform to rotate the passageway downwards. When the escape is used, one end of the escape passageway rotates toward a lower platform to form an inclined passage between the upper and lower platforms.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a double flooring structure which may be used to constitute the floor of a computer room or the like in a building. The double flooring structure has excellent constructibility, high earthquake resistance, a wide underfloor space and excellent resistant to deformation under load. The double flooring structure of the present invention comprises bases secured to a floor surface, columnar leg members pivotally standing on the bases, respectively, stringers each stretched between a pair of adjacent columnar leg members, floor panels supported on the stringers, and fastening means for securing the floor panels to the columnar leg members. The pivot point of each columnar leg member is disposed near the floor surface. When the floor panels are secured to the columnar leg members by the fastening means, the columnar leg members, the stringers and the floor panels constitute in combination one rigid body.
