Abstract

A fire suppression apparatus (1000) comprises an enclosed hollow cylinder (1100) for containing a firefighting agent (not shown). The cylinder (1100) has a cylindrical side wall (1110) and upper and lower dome-ends (1120) and (1130), respectively. The lower end (1130) features supporting feet (1132). At the upper end (1120), an outlet valve (1122) is mounted on a neck-ring (1123) of the cylinder. The valve (1122) comprises an inlet connected to a dip-tube 1200 having a venturi device (1300). The valve itself comprises an outlet (1124). A nozzle, or distribution network to nozzle(s), (not shown) may be attached to threaded stub (1126) to direct firefighting agent during discharge.

IPC Classes  ?

• A62C 13/76 - Details or accessories
• A62C 13/64 - Portable extinguishers which are permanently pressurised or pressurised immediately before use with a single permanently pressurised container the extinguishing material being released by means of a valve

Abstract

A fire suppression apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is of a type used particularly in fire suppression systems of vehicles and comprises a container in the form of a pressure cylinder having a discharge valve and, inside the cylinder, a tubular discharge conduit. The cylinder is shown in its operable configuration, arranged on its side, and the discharge tube includes a first portion, close to the valve, that extends substantially parallel with a longitudinal axis of the cylinder, and in this example is substantially central with respect to the cylinder. The tube also includes a second portion that extends downwardly from the substantially axial first portion towards the lowest part of the sidewall of the cylinder and a third portion that is again substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis of the cylinder, but close to the sidewall of the cylinder, at an insert portion.

IPC Classes  ?

• A62C 35/02 - Permanently-installed equipment with containers for delivering the extinguishing substance
• A62C 99/00 - Subject matter not provided for in other groups of this subclass

The cylinder (120) is shown in its operable configuration, arranged on its side, and the discharge tube includes a first portion (140a), close to the valve (130), that extends substantially parallel with a longitudinal axis of the cylinder, and in this example is substantially central with respect to the cylinder. The tube also includes a second portion (140b) that extends downwardly from the substantially axial first portion (140a) towards the lowest part of the sidewall of the cylinder and a third portion (140c) that is again substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis of the cylinder, but close to the sidewall of the cylinder, at an insert portion (140d).
