11577106 · 2023-02-14 · ·

A device for suppressing fire inside a container includes a support structure configured to be mounted inside a vehicle at a position associated with at least one location configured to receive a container. The device further includes a deployment structure coupled to the support structure and a penetrator assembly coupled to the deployment structure. The penetrator assembly includes a nozzle having a tip configured to pierce a container and an actuator associated with the nozzle. The actuator is configured to extend the tip of the nozzle such that it pierces a container. The support structure and the deployment structure are configured such that the penetrator assembly is movable in at least one plane with respect to the support structure, and the penetrator assembly is configured to receive fire suppressant and direct the fire suppressant into the container.

LANCE, IN PARTICULAR EXTINGUISHING LANCE FOR FIGHTING FIRES

A lance, in particular for jointly dispensing a pressurized fluid and an additive for penetrating walls, includes a lance body, a handle arrangement, multiple channels and actuator arrangements interacting therewith, a nozzle arrangement as well as at least one container for the additive. The actuator arrangements selectively control the fluid being conducted in the first channel, the additive being conducted in the second channel, and the ambient air being conducted in the third channel to a first nozzle body. The third channel forms a line connection between the ambient air and a mixing chamber of the first nozzle body. The second actuator arrangement with its second actuator directly acts on the third channel and indirectly controls the admixing of the additive via the second channel into the mixing chamber.

Fire apparatus piercing tip ranging and alignment system

A fire-fighting vehicle includes a boom assembly movably coupled to a chassis, a penetrating nozzle coupled to the boom assembly, an actuator that moves the penetrating nozzle relative to the chassis, and a controller operatively coupled to a sensor. The penetrating nozzle includes a piercing tip and an outlet configured to be selectively fluidly coupled to a supply of fire suppressant. The piercing tip is repositionable relative to a surface of an object having an interior cavity. The outlet supplies fire suppressant into the interior cavity when the piercing tip is within the interior cavity. The sensor provides data relating to at least one of a position and an orientation of the piercing tip relative to the surface. The controller determines an angular orientation of the piercing tip relative to the surface based on the data.
