Abstract
A fire extinguishing tool is formed as a paddle plate, including top and bottom planar surfaces coextensive relative to one another, with a handle mounted medially and longitudinally aligned relative to the plate to provide a grasping surface for an individual to direct the plate onto flames by smothering such flames preventing oxygen access to the flame area. A modification of the invention includes a central conduit directed through the plate, with a bottom surface of the plate including a matrix of valves directed therethrough, with the handle defining a pneumatic reservoir for directing an inert gas through the bottom surface upon impacting of flames in a fire extinguishing situation.
Claims4
A fire extinguishing tool, comprising,
- a paddle plate, the paddle plate including a rear edge spaced from a forward edge, and
- a top planar surface spaced from and parallel to a bottom planar surface, and
- the rear edge including an elongate handle, the elongate handle is orthogonally oriented relative to the forward edge, and
- the paddle plate including side edges, with the handle positioned medially and parallel to the side edges and extending rearwardly of the rear edge, and
- the paddle plate and the handle formed of a rigid material, and
- a fire retardant fabric sheath, the sheath including a sheath entrance opening, and a sheath cavity, the sheath cavity complementary of an external geometric configuration of the paddle plate, and the sheath entrance opening including a sheath wall split, with the split including a drawstring member directed about the split in a serpentine relationship to effect closure of the split and securement of the sheath about the paddle plate.
