Abstract
A fire extinguisher is shown and described. The fire extinguisher may include a housing, a vessel positioned within the housing, the vessel retaining a fire suppression agent therein, and a discharge port positioned in the housing and operatively coupled with the vessel, where the fire suppression agent is capable of being expelled from the discharge port. The fire extinguisher may include an electrical connector positioned on the housing, the electrical connector capable of operatively securing to an electrical outlet, where the electrical connector is rotatable relative to the housing.
Claims20
A fire extinguisher comprising:
- a housing;
- a vessel positioned within the housing, the vessel retaining a fire suppression agent therein;
- an actuator;
- a discharge port operatively coupled to the vessel by the actuator;
- a puncturable high pressure gas cartridge positioned within the housing, the actuator operable to puncture the puncturable high pressure gas cartridge and to cause the fire suppression agent to combine with gas from the puncturable high pressure gas cartridge to propel the fire suppression agent through the discharge port;
- and
- an electrical connector positioned on the housing, the electrical connector capable of operatively securing to and being electrically connected to a standard electrical outlet, the electrical connector containing at least two-prongs extending therefrom,
- wherein the fire extinguisher includes a child safety feature in which an initial depression of the actuator does not expel the fire suppression agent, but a second depression of the actuator expels the fire suppression agent.
A fire extinguisher comprising:
- a housing;
- a vessel positioned within the housing, the vessel retaining a fire suppression agent therein;
- a discharge port operatively coupled to the vessel;
- and
- an electrical connector operably coupled to the housing, the electrical connector capable of operatively securing to a standard electrical outlet, the electrical connector containing at least two-prongs extending therefrom, wherein the electrical connector solely mechanically, but not electrically, connects to the standard electrical outlet such that electrical power does not flow from the standard electrical outlet through the electrical connector.
