A device made of rigid, heavy gauge wire and designed to fit through the space between double-swinging doors equipped with panic hardware ...

CONT

The J-tool is inserted between the doors far enough to allow the tool to be rotated 90 degrees in either direction. A firefighter can then pull the tool until it makes contact with the panic hardware. The firefighter then makes another sharp pull, and the tool should operate the panic hardware and allow the door to open.

CONT

L'outil en J est un dispositif fait de fil rigide de gros calibre conçu pour être inséré entre les battants d'une porte à deux battants dotée d'une fermeture antipanique […] Il est inséré entre les portes, assez profondément pour le tourner de 90 degrés dans un sens ou dans l'autre. Le pompier peut alors tirer l'outil en J jusqu'à ce qu'il touche la fermeture antipanique. Le pompier donne un autre coup sec sur l'outil, ce qui déclenche la barre antipanique et permet d'ouvrir la porte.

Subject field(s)
  • Pipes and Fittings
  • Oil Drilling
DEF

A sleeve receptacle with a fitted, male element that has pins that fit into milled slots on the sleeve. These slots resemble the letter J. The short sides of the J-slots provide a shoulder for supporting weight on the pins of the male element. When the male element is lowered and turned relative to the sleeve, the pins slide in the slot towards the long side of the J, which is open ended. Thus the pins may be raised out of the J-slots, releasing weight that may be supported by the sleeve. The releasing procedure is called "unjaying the tool."
