Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for extinguishing a stovetop fire over a stovetop having a first burner, the apparatus including a container detachably mountable to a microwave positioned above the stove top. A supply of fire suppressant material is retained within the container. A heat responsive actuator is disposed on the container. When the container is mounted to the microwave over the first burner, and the fire actuates the heat responsive actuator, at least a portion of the supply of fire suppressant material falls from the container toward the first burner.
Claims15
An apparatus for extinguishing a fire on a stovetop having a first burner, a microwave positioned above the stovetop, the apparatus comprising:
- a container detachably mountable to the microwave, the container having a closure movable between a closed position and an open position;
- a reservoir positioned within the container;
- a supply of fire suppressant material including at least a first burner portion disposed within the reservoir;
- a reservoir cover disposed over the reservoir to retain the first burner portion of the supply of fire suppressant material in the reservoir, the reservoir cover coupled to the closure;
- a heat responsive actuator disposed on the container;
- wherein when the container is mounted to the microwave over the first burner, and the fire on the stovetop actuates the heat responsive actuator, the closure is configured to move from the closed position to the open position, the closure forcing at least a portion of the reservoir cover away from the reservoir to allow the first burner portion of the supply of fire suppressant material to fall towards the first burner.
An apparatus for extinguishing a fire on a stovetop having a first burner, a microwave positioned above the stovetop, the apparatus comprising:
- a container detachably mountable to the microwave, the container having a closure movable between a closed position and an open position;
- a reservoir positioned within the container;
- a supply of fire suppressant material including at least a first burner portion disposed within the reservoir;
- a reservoir cover disposed over the reservoir to retain the first burner portion of the supply of fire suppressant material in the reservoir, the reservoir cover coupled to the closure, the reservoir cover including a first layer adhered to the reservoir and a second layer positioned over the first layer, the second layer being thicker than the first layer;
- a heat responsive actuator disposed on the container;
- wherein when the container is mounted to the microwave over the first burner, and the fire on the stovetop actuates the heat responsive actuator, the closure is configured to move from the closed position to the open position, the closure forcing at least a portion of the reservoir cover away from the reservoir with the first layer of the reservoir cover tearing along the second layer of the reservoir cover to allow the first burner portion of the supply of fire suppressant material to fall towards the first burner.
An apparatus for extinguishing a fire on a stovetop having a first burner and a second burner, a microwave positioned above the stovetop, the apparatus comprising:
- a container detachably mountable to the microwave, the container having a closure movable between a closed position and an open position;
- a reservoir positioned within the container;
- a projection member positioned within the container adjacent the reservoir, the projection member retained in a retracted position within the container when the closure is in the closed position;
- a supply of fire suppressant material including at least a first burner portion disposed within the reservoir and a second burner portion disposed within the projection member;
- a reservoir cover disposed over the reservoir to retain the first burner portion of the supply of fire suppressant material in the reservoir, the reservoir cover coupled to the closure;
- a projection member cover disposed over the projection member to retain the second burner portion of the supply of fire suppressant material in the projection member, the projection member cover coupled to the closure;
- a heat responsive actuator disposed on the container, the heat responsive actuator retaining the closure in the closed position;
- wherein when the container is mounted to the microwave over the first burner, and the fire on the stovetop actuates the heat responsive actuator, the closure is configured to move from the closed position to the open position, the movement of the closure forcing at least a portion of the reservoir cover away from the reservoir to allow the first burner portion of the supply of fire suppressant material to fall towards the first burner, the movement of the closure forcing at least a portion of the projection member cover away from the projection member and allowing the projection member to move to an extended position to force the second burner portion of the supply of fire suppressant material towards the second burner.
