Definitions

  • the first body of material expands on heating.
  • the first body of material is intumescent.
  • the lighting fitting can be supplied with the first body of material in a convenient and/or compact form for ease of installation.
  • the first body of material will be activated to form an arrangement which is effective in inhibiting the transmission of fire.
  • any suitable intumescent material may be used as will be readily apparent to the man skilled in the art, including but not limited to, expandable granule or powder graphite, or carbon granules, used with rockwool fibre, thermoset epoxy, polymer base materials and glass fibre amongst others, as will be readily apparent to the man skilled in the art.
  • the silicone gasket 28 will melt or otherwise deteriorate allowing heat to reach the intumescent material 27, which will then expand to provide a fire-proof seal between the flange 26 and the panel 12.
  • the cylindrical sidewall 25 of the lighting fitting is closed at the opposite end to the flange 26 to form a top surface 30.
  • a second layer of intumescent material 31 is attached to the exterior of top surface 30 and held in place by a steel plate 32.
  • steel plate 32 is shown attached to top surface 30 of the lighting fitting by means of rivets 33, but the skilled man will appreciate that any suitable fire-resistant fastening means could be used.
  • a series of ventilation holes 34 pass through the top surface 30, intumescent material 31 and steel plate 32.
