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 height of less than two inches when mounted to the microwave;
- a supply of fire suppressant material retained within the container;
- and
- 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 container is configured to release at least a portion of the supply of fire suppressant material toward 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 frame and a closure retained in a closed position with respect to the frame, the container having a thickness of less than two inches and rounded front and lateral lower edges when the closure is in the closed position;
- a supply of fire suppressant material retained within the container while the closure is in the closed position;
- and
- a heat responsive actuator engaged with the container to retain 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 moves to an open position and at least a portion of the supply of fire suppressant material falls toward 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 via a plurality of magnets, the container having a frame and a closure pivotally connected to the frame, the container having a height of less than two inches when the closure is in the closed position;
- a supply of fire suppressant material retained within the container while the closure is in the closed position;
- a heat responsive actuator engaged with the frame and the closure to retain the closure in the closed position;
- and
- 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 heat responsive actuator releases the closure, the closure moving to an open position, and at least a portion of the supply of fire suppressant material falls toward the first burner.
