Abstract
The roof-mounted remotely controlled firefighting tower is disposed on the top of the roof of a building and is controlled by a wireless, remote control device. Atop the tower there is a receiver that receives command signals from the remote control device. The firefighting apparatus includes a control set that has electrical and electronic circuits inside and is in operable communication with a motor and gear train engaging a telescoping mast to raise and lower the mast according to wirelessly transmitted commands from a user. A high pressure pump extracts water and foam from a tank and sends it to a distribution vessel on top of the mast. An inverted sprinkler dish distributes the foam and water under pressure to top and sides of the building via the connected sprinklers and water booms.
Claims4
A roof-mounted remotely controlled firefighting tower, comprising:
- a tower assembly adapted for mounting on a roof of a building, the assembly having:
- a motor;
- a control set having electrical and electronic circuits connected to the motor;
- a telescoping mast;
- a gear train connecting the motor to the telescoping mast, the gear train including a rack gear attached to a telescoping section of the mast for raising and lowering the mast;
- a water tank and foam tank;
- a pump providing pressure to draw water and foam from said water and foam tank;
- flexible water lines connected to the water and foam tank, the flexible water lines being attached to the mast and routed to a top portion of the mast;
- a distribution vessel having an inlet and a plurality of outlets, the vessel being disposed atop the mast, the flexible water lines being connected to the inlet of the distribution vessel, allowing pressurized water and foam to enter the distribution vessel;
- a plurality of arcuate sprinkler distribution pipes connected to said distribution vessel outlets, the distribution pipes being configured in an inverted dish extending away from the distribution vessel;
- at least one sprinkler head, at least one of said distribution pipes terminating at the at least one sprinkler head, allowing pressurized spray of foam and water to exit over the building;
- a left side boom pivotally attached to the inverted dish at an end of a first one of the sprinkler distribution pipes;
- a left side boom pipe connected to the end of the first sprinkler distribution pipe, the left side boom pipe extending along the left side boom;
- a left side boom nozzle pivotally attached to the left side boom at an end of the left side boom, the left side boom nozzle being connected to an end of the left side boom pipe distal from the attachment of the left side boom to the inverted dish, thereby allowing pressurized water and foam delivery from the left side boom nozzle;
- a right side boom pivotally attached to the inverted dish at an end of a second one of the sprinkler distribution pipes;
- a right side boom pipe connected to the end of the second sprinkler distribution pipe, the right side boom pipe extending along the right side boom;
- a right side boom nozzle pivotally attached to the right side boom at an end of the right side boom, the right side boom nozzle being connected to an end of the right side boom pipe distal from the attachment of the right side boom to the inverted dish, thereby allowing pressurized water and foam delivery from the right side boom nozzle;
- boom nozzle cables attached to the boom nozzle pivotal attachments to provide pivotal displacement of the boom nozzles, the boom nozzle cables being routed to a motor portion of the control set, thereby allowing control of the pivotal displacement of the boom nozzles to direct a spray of water and foam against the building's sides;
- and
- boom cables attached to the boom pivotal attachments to provide pivotal displacement of the booms, the boom cables being routed to the motor portion of the control set, thereby allowing control of the pivotal displacement of the booms;
- and
- a wireless remote control unit operable with the control set, the wireless remote control unit including:
- means for remotely controlling pivotal displacement of the booms;
- means for remotely controlling pivotal displacement of the boom nozzles;
- means for energizing and de-energizing the pump, thereby initiating and halting the pressurized water and foam delivery of the firefighting tower.
