Abstract
A cartridge monitoring system for use in a cartridge-operated fire suppression system having an enclosure with an interior space and an actuator. The system includes a hinge member in the interior space defining an axis of rotation, an elongate member fixed to the hinge member, and a torsion spring fixed to the elongate member. The elongate member is rotatable about the axis of rotation to define a partial shell of rotation relative to the hinge member, which partial shell of rotation is partially outside of the interior space.
Claims13
A cartridge monitoring system for use in a cartridge-operated fire suppression system having an enclosure with an interior space and an actuator, the cartridge monitoring system comprising:
- a hinge member in the interior space and defining an axis of rotation;
- an elongate member fixed to the hinge member and having a free end, the elongate member being rotatable about the axis of rotation to define a partial shell of rotation relative to the hinge member, the partial shell of rotation partially outside the interior space;
- and
- a torsion spring fixed to the elongate member.
A cartridge monitoring system for use in a cartridge-operated fire suppression system having an enclosure with an interior space and an actuator, the cartridge monitoring system comprising:
- a hinge member in the interior space and defining an axis of rotation;
- and
- an elongate member having a rotation point fixed to the hinge member, a free end, a second free end, and a base portion extending between the rotation point and the second free end, the elongate member being rotatable about the axis of rotation to define a first partial shell of rotation relative to the hinge member, the first partial shell of rotation partially outside the interior space.
A cartridge monitoring system for use in a cartridge-operated fire suppression system having an enclosure with an interior space and an actuator, the cartridge monitoring system comprising:
- a hinge member in the interior space and defining an axis of rotation;
- an elongate member rotatable about the axis of rotation to define a first partial shell of rotation partially outside the interior space and a second partial shell of rotation relative to the hinge member;
- a regulator assembly having a cartridge receiving opening;
- a suspension bracket attached to the regulator assembly and movable relative to the cartridge receiving opening between a cartridge-installed position and a cartridge-uninstalled position;
- and
- a fixed member extending from the suspension bracket and intersecting the second partial shell of rotation.
A cartridge monitoring system for use in a cartridge-operated fire suppression system having an enclosure with an interior space and an actuator, the cartridge monitoring system comprising:
- a hinge member in the interior space and defining an axis of rotation;
- an elongate member rotatable about the axis of rotation between a first position and a second position to define a partial shell of rotation relative to the hinge member;
- a relay having at least one output and a relay actuator, wherein the relay actuator intersects the partial shell of rotation;
- a regulator assembly having a cartridge receiving opening;
- and
- a planar first portion, a second portion, and a bridge portion connecting the planar first portion and the second portion, wherein the bridge portion, the planar first portion, and the second portion define a volume partially surrounding the regulator assembly.
