Abstract
Abstract An escape glove comprising a glove having a palm portion with a heat-insulating layer thereon, together with a heat- and wear-resistant elastic guide member attached to the palm portion, the elastic guide member having a lateral groove therein proportioned to receive an escape rope therein. The elastic member is located substantially at the center of the heat-insulating sheet layer and permits the user to control relative movement between the rope and the guide member by exerting varying amounts of pressure by his hand movement.
