Abstract
A glove for escapement is disclosed, which is used for escapement along a rope at the time of occurrence of a fire or an earthquake. The glove comprises a glove body, a base member mounted on the palm side of the glove body and provided on the inner side with teeth, and a wing member having one edge pivoted to the base member and provided on the inner side with teeth capable of meshing with the teeth of the base member. The rope thus can be clamped in a meandering fashion between the teeth, and the user can smoothly slide down along the rope by reducing the clamping force applied to the rope.
