Definitions
- narran stares 'WALTER E. FREYGNG, OF WEEHAWKEN, NEW JERSEY, SSIONOR TO WALTER KIDDE & COMPANY, INC., OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.
- This invention relates to fire extinguishing apparatus of the general character of that showno in Letters Patent of the United States No. 1,335,394, dated Maich 30, 1920,- in which a fire extinguishing gas, or .liquid or solid particles thereof, or a mixture of' gas, liquid and solid, is discharged upon the iire to be extinguished.
- ing agent commonly and preferably used for the purpose is for example carbonio acid which is supplied from containers in which it is stored in liquid form under great pressure and from which it is conducted through suitable. pipes to the place of use.
- Figure 2 is a view in elevation, from a point of View at right angles to that 'of F1gure l, showing a single container with the disc rupturing device applied.
- Figure 3 is a a larger scale construction of the disc rupturing device which is indicated in Figures l and 2.
- 'lhe lcoupling f is suitably chambered as at f'Gfor a potpose'to be'described an is threaded as at' f3, with a quick thread and is also threaded, as at f4 to receive a stuffing '.box gland f5.
- a spindle g threaded as at g for co-action with the quick thread f3, carries at itsi-nner end a thin tubular cut ter g2, which is suitably shaped, as at g3, to
- the cutter therefore does not act as a valve ".no pressure above atmospheric.
- the cut-out portion is eX- posed on theone side. to the full pressure of the gas and on the other side is exposed to quently the cut-out portion of the disc is immediately blown back through the ⁇ cutter beyoud-the ports (/Mwithin the chamber f and thereby immediatev and full flow of the gas to the pipe -b is permitted.
- the extinguishing gas ⁇ be delivered practically instantaneously, that is ⁇ ,' Within a very few-seconds, and this can vbe accomplished only when the delivery passage is continuously and permanently in communication with the inte-V riorA of the hollow tubular cutter and when A the severed portion ofj thedisc e is completely severed and blown through the ⁇ cutter beyond the point at which it might imL pede theflow of gas.
