Fire sprinkler automatic extinguisher

Abstract

The Fire Sprinkler Automatic Extinguisher designed and created for a quick response to the dangers of fire. My invention design & creation of the Cap Head T-Knob Handle & Nozzle Fitting allows the connection of a Fire Sprinkler Pendant, that it can automatically discharge on its own without the use of an operator. It also replaces ceiling water fire sprinkler suppression systems without the need for Pipes, Plumbing, Electrical and Water.

When the temperature of a fire reaches 155 degrees (F.), the thin glass bulb in the Fire Sprinkler Pendant head containing an alcohol liquid, boils, expands it breaks the thin glass bulb. This action releases a copper plug from Pendant and the 195-psi nitrogen gas pushes out a dry chemical agent from inside the fire extinguisher cylinder body.

A Fire Sprinkler Automatic Extinguisher can also operate manually by simply using the Hammer pin attached to Extinguisher for snapping the thin bulb glass in the Sprinkler Pendant Head. The manual operation called the PASS code method “Pin, Aim, Snap & Sweep,” at the base of the fire.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

A Fire Sprinkler Automatic Extinguisher

Drawing Page 1 of 9 FIG. 1

[0025] The drawing displays all the components used to assemble & install the complete Fire Sprinkler Automatic Extinguisher unit in FIG. 1, A. comprising; (F) Cap Head T-Knob Handle, (E) Pendant Nozzle Fitting, (C) Pendant, (D) Escutcheon, (B) Lock-in Ceiling Cover Plate and (G) Wall Bracket.

Page 1, FIG. 1, H;

[0026] Shows the Hammer Pin attached to a Fire Sprinkler Automatic Extinguisher. The “Hammer Pin” used in a manual operation to snap the thin glass bulb in the Fire Sprinkler Pendant Head. This action allows the discharge of the dry chemical agent stored inside the fire extinguisher cylinder.

Page 5 FIG. 5 illustrates the Fire Sprinkler Pendant Head

[0027] The Fire Sprinkler Pendant Head has a thin glass bulb holding a copper plug that prevents the chemical dry substance from discharging inside the fire extinguisher cylinder. In an Automatic operation, the Fire Sprinkler Automatic Extinguisher discharges once the temperature heat of 155 F degree reached in an actual fire. The Fire Temperature heat boils the alcohol substance inside the glass bulb and expands until it breaks. Once broken, the copper pin plug pushes away with 195 psi stored nitrogen. This action releases a dry chemical agent inside the fire extinguisher cylinder. The attachment used to connect the Fire Sprinkler Pendant Head into the nose output of a Fire Sprinkler Automatic Extinguisher body is the Nozzle Fitting

Page 7 of 9 FIG. 7, 8, 9.

[0028] The invention, design, and creation drawings of the Nozzle Fitting & Cap Head T-Knob Handle on Page 9 Of 9 FIG. 12 are the most important components that make a Fire Sprinkler Automatic Extinguisher function properly. The Nozzle Fitting enables a Fire Sprinkler Pendant attachment to fire extinguisher body.

Page 9 of 9 FIG. 12A Cap Head T-Knob Handle

[0029] It is the Cap Head T-Knob Handle that puts the fire Extinguisher in Automatic mode. Turning the Cap Head T-Knob Handle clockwise screws down onto the top of the fire extinguishers release pin valve. At this point, a Fire Sprinkler Automatic Extinguisher is now in Automatic mode ready for discharging. Discharging occurs once the glass thin bulb in the Fire Sprinkler Pendant breaks. Broken by the Fire Temperature Heat or manually with the Hammer Pin. The Cap Head T-Knob can also turn the fire extinguisher discharge off by turning counterclockwise. It is a critical component that used for recharging & the filling process of a unit.
