Abstract
A fire suppression device may be launched from a hand-held, stand alone, or object- or vehicle-mounted device. The fire suppression device may be propelled by a first accelerant ejected out of a proximal end of the fire suppression device. The fire suppression device may be ruptured by a second accelerant after a predetermined amount of time. A fire suppressant may be dispersed on a fire when the fire suppression device is ruptured.
Claims20
A fire suppression device for propelling into a fire and extinguishing the fire, comprising:
- an interior section, comprising:
- a base, comprising:
- a first accelerant configured to ignite when compressed;
- and
- a primer configured to compress the first accelerant;
- and
- an interior housing, comprising:
- a second accelerant;
- and
- a cone, comprising:
- a fire suppressant,
- wherein an ignition of the second accelerant ruptures the cone,
- wherein the rupturing of the cone disperses the fire suppressant;
- and
- a removable plug at a cone distal end configured for allowing addition of the fire suppressant into a cavity of the cone, and
- wherein the base is at least partially disposed within the cone.
A fire suppression device for propelling into a fire and extinguishing the fire, comprising:
- an interior section, comprising:
- a base, comprising:
- a first an accelerant configured to ignite when compressed;
- and
- a primer configured to compress the accelerant,
- wherein an ignition of the accelerant ejects the accelerant out of the fire suppression device and propels the fire suppression device;
- and
- a cone configured to house the interior section, comprising:
- a fire suppressant disposed in a cavity of the cone,
- wherein the cone is configured to rupture at a predetermined pressure,
- wherein the rupturing of the cone disperses the fire suppressant;
- and
- a removable plug at a cone distal end configured for allowing addition of the fire suppressant into the cavity of the cone,
- wherein the base is at least partially disposed within the cone.
A method of extinguishing a fire using a fire suppression device, the method comprising:
- providing the fire suppression device having a base and a cone, said cone having a distal end and a cavity therein, and a removable plug at the distal end of the cone for allowing access to the cavity,
- wherein the base is at least partially disposed within the cone;
- providing a primer, a first accelerant, and a second accelerant within the fire suppression device;
- removing the removable plug and inserting a fire suppressant into the cavity of the cone;
- compressing the first accelerant to propel the fire suppression device by contacting the primer, wherein the first accelerant explosively expands when compressed;
- igniting the second accelerant, wherein the second accelerant explosively expands when ignited, and
- wherein the explosive expansion of the second accelerant causes an increase in pressure within the cone;
- rupturing the cone by the increase in pressure within the cone caused by the explosive expansion of the second accelerant;
- and
- dispersing the fire suppressant to extinguish the fire.
