Abstract
An improved fire protection system that is of failsafe design for kitchen stoves with or without a range hood and other applications utilizing electrical power for generating heat and in which a fire condition such as a skillet of grease becomes ignited. Said system is activated thermally to release a quantity of fire suppressant material while simultaneously cutting off the electrical power. The system utilizes a reservoir containing the fire suppressant under pressure with a hose or pipe connected to one or a plurality of thermally activated nozzles. A second hose or pipe is connected to a pneumatically operated electrical interruption device.
Claims3
A system for extinguishing cooking stove fires, comprising:
- (a) at least one thermally actuated nozzle located above the cooking stove;
- (b) means for electrically disconnecting power to the cooking stove;
- (c) a vessel containing inert gas under pressure with a fire extinguishing agent and being in fluid communication with at least one thermally activated nozzle and the electrical power disconnect means and wherein thermal activation of the nozzle activates the electrical power disconnect means so as to disconnect electrical power to said cooking stove.
