Fireman's Life Net - The Atlas Life Saving Machine 1936 USA
Although it may resemble a trampoline, this is an extremely rare fire safety net designed to catch those leaping from burning buildings. Patented in 1887 by Thomas F. Browder and manufactured by the Atlas Safety Equipment Company, the Atlas Life Saving Machine was an important fire response tool for close to a century until it was phased out for new technology. The net was designed to fold for easy storage, and to easily snap open for quick deployment.
Great aluminum machining and red rubber casting on handles with leather straps, coil springs and canvas landing pad.
Recently professionally cleaned and sanitized ready for use as a piece of striking wall art, sure to be a talking point of any room.
Located at our Los Angeles showroom.
