A toilet can save you in case of fire
Breathing from a toilet in case of fire sounds like a totally crazy way of saving your life. However, somebody patented this idea which involves using a tube, according to this site. The idea was thought especially for hotels to be used by guests and firefighters.
The system and procedure of this invention call for inserting a breathing tube through a toilet’s water trap in order to expose its open end to fresh air coming from a vent pipe linked to the toilet’s sewer line and allow the user to breathe through the tube.
Several people have died as a result of inhaling toxic smoke. The numerous toxic gases mixed with the smoke from the burning of plastic furniture materials and similar items proved lethal within a very short time period.
So, it has become imperative to give the trapped hotel guest access to oxygen or fresh air until help arrives. In addition, past experience has indicated that in order to facilitate the rescue effort, the trapped visitor should stay in his or her hotel room rather than attempting to move to the roof or any other floor of the establishment.
When engaging in the aforementioned types of firefighting and rescue operations, a firefighter typically carries an oxygen canister with him for breathing purposes. The fireman will occasionally run out of oxygen, putting him at risk of inhaling deadly smoke. Consequently, it would be beneficial to offer a supply of fresh air to a hotel guest when needed as well as to a fireman who might experience the emergency circumstance described above.
In order to ensure a life-saving supply of fresh air to a person stuck in a burning hotel room or the like when the person is exposed to deadly smoke inhalation, this invention offers an affordable device and method.
The user may then continue to breathe clean air till being saved in order to save his or her life.
