Abstract: An emergency rescue system includes a cantilever arm, a gondola, a ground unit, and a cable block. The cantilever arm is operable to be positioned on a roof of a building and extend one or more cables from the roof to the ground. The gondola is operable to be coupled to the cantilever arm with the cables and to travel along the more cables. The ground unit is operable to be positioned on the ground beneath the cantilever arm and to be coupled to the gondola with the cables. The ground unit comprises a motor operable to raise and lower the gondola along the cables and a control system operable to provide controls for the ground unit and the gondola. The cable block is coupled to the cables between the gondola and the cantilever arm and controls the cables as the ground unit raises and lowers the gondola.

Abstract: Reed's High-Rise Emergency Rescue Egress System, a conventional truck chassis fitted with a hydraulic lift system for access into and the evacuation of individuals from high-rise buildings. The technology is comprised of the following components: A control room located behind the cab of the truck, which is used to operate the lift system, monitor system operations, detect chemical, radiological, biological or other hazardous agents, and provides communication support; an gondola cabins which provides protection while transporting personnel and equipment up and down. The gondola has the ability to be connected to a building's internal/external water stand-pipe system to allow hoses to be used directly from the cabin and an audio/video monitoring system that transmits information to the control room; a mechanical lift system, which utilizes hydraulic and electrical lifts. The lift system is powered by the vehicle's motor.

Abstract: The present invention is a non-integral firearm safety lock that is inserted into a firearm's firing chamber ejector and loading port, expands and locks, thus prevents the weapon from being fired. The non-integral firearm safety lock is designed to fit most open chamber firearms. Once the firearm safety lock is inserted into the firearm's open chamber a key is used to expand a locking plate that is forced downward, fills and seals the loading port which disables the weapon. The distinct difference of this particular safety device from other safety devices is that it is user friendly and takes only seconds to install and remove. The non-integral firearm safety lock, when installed, fits flush with the weapon's frame that greatly enhances the cosmetic appearance of a firearm. The non-integral firearm safety lock is easy to manufacture and is inexpensive.

Abstract: The present invention is a firearm safety device designed to secure a firearm and prevent injury or death by an unauthorized user. The firearm port block is a fitted cylindrical device that when placed in the open port of a firearm prevents the firearm from being discharged. By using a positioning tab the firearm port block is placed in an open port of a firearm, expanded and locked. The open bolt supports one end of the device and the firing chamber houses the other end, blocking live ammunition. The firearm is placed in use by unlocking and removing the port block. The firearm port block is inexpensive to manufacture and easily installed and removed from an open port firearm.

Abstract: The present invention is a safety device that prevents a weapon from being fired. The invention consists of a hollow cylindrical block and an ejector. The hollow cylindrical block is manually placed in a weapon's firing chamber thus preventing the engaging of a live shell. The chamber block is removed from the firing chamber of a weapon by manually inserting the ejector into and through the firearm chamber block allowing the ejector to engage the backside of the chamber block skirt. There is a raised rim on the ejector cap that allows the weapon's bolt to engage and extract the ejector and firearm safety apparatus as one unit.
