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.
Claims13
An apparatus for extinguishing a fire on a stovetop having a first burner, a second burner, and a microwave positioned above the stovetop, the apparatus comprising:
- a container including at least one magnet, the container detachably mountable to the microwave via the at least one magnet, the container having a closure movable between an open position and a closed position, the closure retained in a closed position;
- a projection member positioned within the container, the projection member retained in a retracted position within the container while 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 disposed on the container;
- wherein when the container is mounted to the microwave over the first burner, and the fire on the second burner of the stovetop actuates the heat responsive actuator, the closure moves to the open position, the projection member moves to an extended position and forces at least a portion of the supply of fire suppressant material toward the second burner.
An apparatus for extinguishing a fire on a stovetop having a first burner, a second burner, and a microwave positioned above the stovetop, the apparatus comprising:
- a container including a plurality of magnets, the container detachably mountable to the microwave via the plurality of magnets, the container having a closure movable between an open position and a closed position, the closure retained in a closed position via a heat responsive actuator disposed on the container;
- a projection member positioned within the container, the projection member retained in a retracted position within the container while the closure is in the closed position;
- and
- a supply of fire suppressant material retained within the container while the closure is in the closed position;
- wherein when the container is mounted to the microwave over the first burner, and the fire on the second burner of the stovetop actuates the heat responsive actuator, the closure moves to the open position, and the projection member moves to an extended position in a direction toward the second burner and forces at least a portion of the supply of fire suppressant material toward the second burner.
An apparatus for extinguishing a fire on a stovetop having a first burner, a second burner, and 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 closure retained in a closed position with respect to the frame;
- 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 second burner of the stovetop actuates the heat responsive actuator, the closure moves to the open position, and the projection member moves to an extended position in a direction toward the second burner and forces at least a portion of the supply of fire suppressant material toward the second burner.
