Abstract
A cylindrical adapter to a fire nozzle is disclosed which produces not only a forward stream but also at the same time a second rearward directed safety spray cone shaped bubble which encloses the fireman and any persons or property being rescued. This adjustable cone shaped bubble protects the fireman by reducing the radiant heat felt by the fireman as well as dangerous gases. Also is taught a small pipe centered in the cylinder with the purpose to allow a shaft to be inserted therein. This shaft can be used to control the forward stream in future models of the invention.
Claims2
An adaptor to a fire nozzle that produces a rearward safety spray bubble comprising:
- a cylinder assembly comprising;
- a rear end part threaded to accept an existing fire hose on a rear end and;
- a forward end part, threaded to accept an existing fire nozzle on a front end, said rear end part and said forward end part supported by an internal small pipe having support brackets mounted internally to both said rear end part and forward end part resulting in the formation of;
- a 360 degree circular slot between said rear end part and front end part, angled facing the rear end part, and a sleeve threadably and axially mounted onto said rear end part between said rear end part and said front end part and partially within said 360 degree circular slot between said rear end part and said front end part, said formed slot having a size that can be controlled by rotating said sleeve so as to produce a larger or smaller slot and thus a controllable rearward cone shaped spray bubble when water or other fire extinguishing mediums are applied under pressure.
