Abstract
A self-activating fire extinguisher includes a pressure vessel having an outlet and containing a fire suppressant therein. A fusible material caps the outlet such that melting the fusible material allows escape of the fire suppressant from the pressure vessel. A deflector is associated with the pressure vessel for deflecting the fire suppressant escaping the pressure vessel onto a corresponding hazard.
Claims22
A self-activating fire extinguisher, comprising:
- a pressure vessel containing a fire suppressant and including an outlet;
- a fusible material capping the outlet, wherein melting the fusible material allows escape of the fire suppressant from the pressure vessel;
- and
- a deflector associated with the pressure vessel, for reflecting the fire suppressant escaping the pressure vessel, wherein the deflector includes a heat shield and an adjacent insulation layer.

A self-activating fire extinguisher, comprising:
- a pressure vessel containing a fire suppressant and including an outlet, the outlet having a tube with a proximate end in fluid contact with the fire suppressant;
- a fusible material capping a distal end of the tube, wherein melting the fusible material allows escape of the fire suppressant from the pressure vessel;
- a mount associated with the pressure vessel;
- and
- a deflector associated with the pressure vessel, for reflecting the fire suppressant escaping the pressure vessel, wherein at least a portion of the deflector is positioned between the pressure vessel and the distal end of the tube, wherein the deflector includes a heat shield and an adjacent insulation layer.

A self-activating fire extinguisher, comprising:
- a pressure vessel including an outlet and containing a pressurized inert gas and a fire suppressant comprising Purple K Powder, a bicarbonate compound in water, or a halocarbon compound, wherein the outlet includes an adapter for hermetically attaching a proximate end of a tube to the pressure vessel;
- a fusible material capping the tube, wherein melting the fusible material allows escape of the fire suppressant from the pressure vessel;
- a mount associated with the pressure vessel;
- and
- a deflector associated with the pressure vessel, for reflecting the fire suppressant escaping the pressure vessel, wherein the deflector includes a heat shield and an adjacent insulation layer.
