Abstract: A safety ladder for mounting between a support surface and a ground surface includes two support assemblies and parallel step members pivoted between the support assemblies. Each support assembly includes first and second support rods each having upper and lower ends. The upper ends of the first support rods of the support assemblies are configured to be pivoted to the support surface. The safety ladder is movable between a use position, in which the lower ends of the first and second support rods of the support assemblies are adapted to simultaneously contact the ground surface, and a storage position, in which the first and second support rods stand substantially perpendicular relative to the ground surface.

Abstract: A ventilation assembly (200) includes a frame unit (100) and a cover body (60). The frame unit (100) includes two frame assemblies (10) and two closing plates (30) connected between the frame assemblies (10). Each frame assembly (10) includes two frame seats (11) and outer and inner side plates (12, 13) cooperatively defining a tortuous passage (14). Each frame assembly (10) further includes first and second air vents (15, 16). The cover body (60) is connected to and cooperates with the frame assemblies (10) and the closing plates (30) to define an air chamber (70) configured to communicate with an opening (102) in an upper portion (1) of a building. The first air vent (15) is provided to communicate the air chamber (70) with the tortuous passage (14), and the second air vent (16) is provided to communicate the tortuous passage (14) with the atmosphere.
