APPARATUS FOR USE WITH AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE FOR STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL OF REMOTELY LOCATED EMERGENCY DEVICES ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION An apparatus particularly usable with an emergency vehicle for storage thereon and facilitating removal of remotely located emergency devices such as ladders, tanks or hoses and the like including a mounting bracket fixedly secured to the vehicle with at least two extension arms extending outwardly therefrom and pivotally secured with respect to the mounting bracket at locations vertically and laterally spaced from one another. An upper suspension bracket is pivotally secured to the extension arms at the opposite end from the mounting bracket and in order to facilitate movement of the extension arms from a storage position vertically extending upwardly above the mounting bracket to a retrieval position laterally extending outwardly from the mounting bracket to facilitate access to the emergency device such as a ladder. The upper suspension bracket has a horizontally extending constant position of orientation with respect to the mounting bracket. That is, there is no rotation of the upper suspension bracket during movement from the storage position to the retrieval position and vice versa with respect to the mounting bracket. In this manner an emergency device such as a ladder can be maintained in the vertically extending position during movement from the upper storage position to the lower retrieval position to facilitate removal thereof. Movement of the extension arms can be urged by manual powering or by an automatically powered push arm operatively secured with respect to one of the extension arms for powering movement of both extension arms and the upper suspension bracket between the storage and retrieval positions. This application corresponds to U.S. Design Patent Application No. xx/xxx,xxx filed xx/xx/xx.
