A clamp system has a holder, first and second boss pieces and a C-shaped spring clamp. The holder has a rear body with a curved rear surface, and flat outer surfaces extending from the opposite ends of the curved rear surface. Each boss piece has a flat inner surface, and an outer edge with an angled slit that defines an inward grip edge, with the flat inner surfaces of each boss piece clamping against one of the two flat outer surfaces of the rear body. The C-shaped spring clamp has opposite first and second ends, with each end of the C-shaped spring clamp having a plurality of teeth. One tooth from each set of plurality of teeth together define one set of engaging teeth which engage the corresponding angled slits from the first and second boss pieces.

An assembly having a chassis, two supports with a plate and a guide, a nesting system with a bore, a reservoir containing an extinguishing fluid and with two fastening tabs, two bearing tabs and a peg, and a fastener. The reservoir is able to move in translation between a premounting position in which each fastening and bearing tab rests on a plate and each guide guides the fastening and bearing tabs to align the peg and the bore, and a mounting position in which each fastening tab rests on the plate, the peg is introduced into the bore, the bearing tabs no longer rest on the plates and the fastener fastens each fastening tab to the plate. Such an assembly allows the reservoir to be withdrawn and put in place quickly and easily.

The disclosure is directed to a fire suppression system that includes all control components in a single integrated panel. It further contemplates and may include a chamber configured to maintain an interior inert atmosphere and to enclose and establish a nonflammable workspace for a pyrophoric workpiece. A temperature sensor may also be included and mounted proximate the workspace, along with an oxygen concentration sensor configured to detect an interior oxygen concentration of the atmosphere. The system also includes a dispenser configured to discharge an antipyrophoric granular material onto the workpiece responsive to automatic detection proximate the workpiece of at least one of a predetermined temperature and oxygen concentration. In variations, the chamber is configured as a glove box having viewing windows and a plurality of sealed glove ports positioned to enable user manipulation of the workpiece about the workspace.
