Abstract
An automatic directional explosive-type fire suppression device includes a container formed from two complimentary sections comprising a shield and a base; a fire extinguishing agent contained within the container; and an explosive charge assembly contained within the container. A portion of the shield is extended outward at an angle forming a skirt such that activation of the explosive charge within the container shatters the base and the fire extinguishing agent is automatically dispersed downward within a range of angles controlled by the skirt to extinguish or suppress a fire.
Claims24
An automatic directional fire suppression device comprising:
- a container formed from two complimentary sections comprising a shield and a base;
- a fire extinguishing agent contained within said container;
- and
- an explosive charge assembly contained within said container;
- wherein a portion of the shield is extended outward at an angle forming a skirt such that activation of the explosive charge within said container shatters the frangible base and the fire extinguishing agent is dispersed downward within a range of angles controlled by the skirt to extinguish or suppress a fire.
A shield for a fire extinguishing device comprising a directional shield with a portion thereof extended outward at an angle forming a skirt, wherein, upon activation of the fire extinguishing device, the skirt controls dispersal of a fire extinguishing agent downward to target area defined by the angle of the skirt.
A bracket assembly for mounting a fire control device in a target area, said assembly comprising:
- a body;
- and
- a mounting bar extending from the said body, the mounting bar comprising a mating locking element for receiving a corresponding mating locking element disposed on a shield of the fire control device;
- wherein said shield comprises a skirt for directing release of a fire extinguishing agent downward from said fire control device;
