Abstract
The invention is directed to an expandable metal product for use in extinguishing surface fires. Rolled, unexpanded continuous sheets of magnesium alloy foil are transported to the site of a fire and stretched over the surface of the fire to extinguish it. This invention also is directed to using the expanded product in the form of an ellipsoid to promote nestling in fuel containers.
Claims9
An expandable metal product for use in extinguishing surface fires comprising a rolled, unexpanded continuous sheet of magnesium alloy metal foil having discontinuous slits in spaced apart lines parallel to each other but transverse to the longitudinal dimension of said sheet, the longitudinal edges of said continuous sheet being intercepted by slits on said slit lines, thereby to eliminate unslit longitudinal margins which might resist longitudinal stretching of the slit sheet when stretched over a fire.
A metal product for use in the extinguishing of fires and the prevention of explosions, comprising an expanded metal net which has been compressed into the form of an ellipsoid.
