Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a fire extinguishing and prevention device and provides a series of relevant features with regard to the devices presently used for a similar purpose.
  • the device acts automatically when contacted by with fire, causing the explosion and disintegration of the device and the subsequent expansion of the extinguishing product, liquid or powder and in general of any fire-resistant product, or physical or chemical product to smother the fire, which is of course stored inside the device.
  • the fire extinguishing product is not advantageously pressurized inside the device, which defines a safety feature of the state of the charge of the extinguisher. Therefore, periodic checks are not necessary. In certain circumstances the vessel could have pressure.
  • the expelling force that causes the ejection of the extinguishing product is caused in the combustion of an explosive charge, located inside the vessel and that is isolated from the extinguishing product.
  • Fire extinguishing devices of the type called extinguishers are presently used. With such extinguishers the extinguishing product is pressurized inside the vessel, in such a way that the product comes out upon manual operation of the valve device that is located in the head of the vessel.
  • US-A-4,964,469 discloses a device for dispersing fire-suppressing chemicals by explosive force.
  • the device according to US-A-4 964 469 includes a container in which is stored an explosive charge surrounded by a dry powder payload. A fuse cord protruding from the container can be used to trigger the explosive.
  • the fuse cord protruding from the container is very short, the fuse cord might be ignited too late by a fire in the vicinity of the container.
  • the fuse cord is likely to be damaged, for example during transport of the device.
  • the fire extinguishing and prevention devices that the invention proposes includes a fire-resistant material vessel so that it is not destroyed before the explosion. It may also be of plastic with an alloy of this fire-resistant material.
  • the explosive charge is contained in the central area of the inside of the vessel and is isolated from the extinguishing product and immobilized in its housing by any known means.
  • the inlet of the vessel is sealed by a plug or a cap. There is also a sealing plug or cap to prevent moisture from entering during storage time, and once this sealing plug is destroyed, even the environment will wet the explosive charge sufficiently to make the device unusable.
  • wick that surrounds the vessel and that reaches the explosive charge, this wick passing through a series of perforated lugs provided on the periphery of the vessel.
  • a suspension element for the vessel also passes through these lugs, such as a fiber glass or asbestos string or one of any other incombustible materials to form a type of handle so the device may be hung from trees.
  • This suspension string that passes close to the wick also defines a protective element for the wick as it has a rather larger diameter. Any impact that is made during transport and that could damage the wick, is resisted by the suspension string.
  • a special characteristic that is derived from the structure of the vessel containing the extinguishing product and explosive charge and that is derived precisely from the existence of said lugs is that the wick remains clamped upon crossing the lugs, which produces warning or prevention detonations of the imminent explosion of the charge.
  • a signaling powder or flare that indicates the place of the explosion, either by forming a cloud of smoke, or by any other indication.
  • Sole figure - a plan view with a sectioned quadrant, of the fire extinguishing and prevention device which is the object of the invention.
  • the fire extinguishing and prevention device that the invention proposes is determined by vessel (1) with a general cylindrical shape and that has an inlet provided with a neck (2) in a point of its side surface.
  • the inside of the vessel is filled with the extinguishing product. Subsequently a tube 6 containing the explosive charge (5) is introduced through the inlet of the vessel (1), and the mouth of the tube is threaded to the neck (2) as is clearly seen in the sectioned portion of the figure.
  • the explosive charge fills the center area of the vessel so that when the explosion is started there is a better distribution of charges that uniformly cast the extinguishing product in the stipulated action radius, after destruction of the vessel (1.)
  • the explosive charge (5) is in direct communication with the wick (7) that emerges outside and that is located on the outer periphery of the vessel (1), passing through the holes (4) of the lugs (3.)
  • a protection means therefor defined by the string (8) that follows the same peripheral path as the wick (7), passing through the pairs of holes (4) of the lugs (3.)
  • This string (8) is used to suspend the device from a tree or the like, in the fire barrier laying foreseen for example as fire prevention.
  • the diameter of the string (8) is notably greater than that of the wick (7) and therefore any knock that could damage the wick (7) is endured by the string (8.)
  • the vessel (1) is also provided with a second covering cap or plug (9) acting a a moisture seal.
  • the wick (7) upon entering and coming out through the pair of holes (4) of each of the lugs (3), remains "clamped” and during combustion of the wick detonations are caused as the part of the wick passing through these clamped areas burns, warning of the imminent explosion of the charge and therefore acting as a safety measure.

Claims (7)

  1. Appareil de prévention et d'extinction d'incendie du type qui comprend un réservoir (1) qui contient un produit d'extinction, celui-ci n'étant pas normalement sous pression ou étant parfois sous pression dans des circonstances particulières, le produit d'extinction sortant du réservoir par activation automatique d'un dispositif explosif (5) contenu dans le réservoir (1), l'activation automatique étant assurée par une mèche (7) placée de l'intérieur à l'extérieur du réservoir (1) et passant par une entrée délimitée par un col (2), le produit d'extinction et une charge explosive (5) isolée et immobilisée dans la zone centrale et communiquant avec la mèche (7) qui a accès par l'entrée (2) du réservoir (1) étant placés dans le réservoir, le col (2) du réservoir (1) pouvant être bouché par un capuchon ou bouchon,
       caractérisé en ce que
       l'appareil est formé d'un réservoir (1) de matière plastique ayant un alliage résistant à l'incendie, l'appareil étant constitué d'une corde (8) d'un matériau incombustible qui forme le dispositif de suspension du réservoir (1) pour la pose d'une ligne d'appareils destinés à agir comme barrière contre l'incendie, la périphérie du réservoir (1) ayant des pattes (3) qui possèdent chacune deux trous (4) pour le passage de la mèche (7) et de la corde (8).
  2. Appareil de prévention et d'extinction d'incendie selon la revendication 1, dans lequel la corde (8) a un diamètre supérieur à celui de la mèche (7) afin qu'elle forme un dispositif de protection de la mèche en cas de coups.
