- ABSTRACT A dual-agent fire fighting turret has an annular first conduit for a first fire extinguishing agent concentrically positioned around a second conduit for a second fire extinguishing agent.
- the first, and second conduits are contained within a rotating outer jacket.
- the first conduit is connected in flow communication to a first, dual-arm, yoke outlet conduit, which in turn is pivotably connected in flow communication with a first delivery tube.
- the second conduit is connected in flow communication with a second outlet conduit which is in turn pivotably connected in flow communication with a second delivery tube.
- a hollow elevation shaft is slidably mounted within and extends through the first and second conduits, the upper end being pivotably connected to the delivery tubes and the lower end having a control handle attached thereto.
- the control handle is also connected to the base of the rotating jacket so that vertical adjustment of the control handle adjusts the elevation of the delivery tubes, and rotation of the control handle orients the delivery tubes along a selected azimuth.
- Control cables are threaded through the elevation shaft and may be operated by control cable levers to operate cable actuated flow control devices located in the delivery tubes.
- PATENTED BET 1374 SHEET 8 OF 7 THREE WAY REMOTE CONTROLLED DUAL AGENT FIRE FIGHTING TURRET The present invention relates to the art of fire fighting turrets, and more particularly to dual agent fire fighting turrets, i.e., those which simultaneously or alternately, at the option of the operator, deliver two different fire extinguishing agents upon a fire.
- Dual agent fire fighting turrets are known, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,567,136 issued Mar. 21, 1971 to G. A. Garrett.
- Fire fighting turrets are normally mounted on the roof or deck of a fire fighting truck.
- the truck normally carries storage tanks, one or more of which may be pressurized, containing the fire extinguishing agents and, if one of the fire extinguishing agents is water, suitable connection means to a source of water under pressure, such as a fire hydrant.
- the delivery tubes of prior art dual agent fire turrets are offset one from the other in the azimuth plane, so that upon switching from one agent to another, reorientation of the azimuth alignment of the turret may be required to place the second agent at the desired point.
- a dual fire extinguishing agent fire fighting turret providing an annular first conduit (for a first fire extinguishing agent) concentrically positioned around a second conduit (for a second fire extinguishing agent).
- Both the first and second conduits are contained within and in part formed by a rotating outer jacket mounted within a fixed base, and extending to the bottom thereof.
- the rotating jacket and fixed base together comprise the main body portion of the turret, which is closed off at either end by an upper and a lower cap.
- the first conduit leads to a first outlet .conduit formed in the shape of a dual-arm yoke, and then to a first delivery tube which is connected in flow communication to the dual-arm yoke by a pivot mounting means.
- the second conduit is connected to a second outlet conduit which in turn is pivotably connected to a second delivery tube.
- An elevation shaft is concentrically positioned within said main body portion and passes entirely therethrough, extendingbeyond the upper and lower ends thereof.
- the rotating outer jacket is closed at its upper end by an upper cap and the fixed base is closed at its lower end by a lower cap, and the elevation shaft extends through these upper and lower caps.
- the elevation shaft is slidably mounted in the main body portion of the turret with the top portion of the elevation shaft pivotally engaged with the delivery tubes so that vertical movement of the elevation shaft relative to the main body portion of the turret adjusts the elevation of the delivery tubes by rotating them about their pivot mounting means.
- the elevation shaft need not necessarily be directly connected to both tubes but, as shown with reference to the specific embodiments described in more detail below, the shaft may be connected to one delivery tube, and the other delivery'tube may be connected to the shaft-connected tube so that the other tube is constrained to pivot with the shaft-connected tube.
- a preferred means in accordance with the invention for slidably seating the elevation shaft within said main body portion of the turret is to provide a guide sleeve through said main body portion, and to slidably mount the elevation shaft within said sleeve.
- Another aspect of the invention provides for one or more control cables to pass through the elevation shaft, which is made hollow for this purpose, from the lower portion thereof through and out the upper portion thereof, thence to suitable cable-actuated delivery tube control devices such as nozzles, valves or the like located in the delivery tubes.
- the cable control levers and the elevation shaft handle are thus located near each other for the convenience of the operator.
- the two delivery tubes are connected, one to the other, and at least one of the tubes is adjustably connected, as more fully described hereinbelow, so as to permit the interconnected tubes to stay at the same elevation nozzle as they traverse in a vertical plane.
- the lower portion of the rotating jacket is provided with a suitable handle to permit easy rotation of the jacket within the fixed base, thereby orienting the delivery tubes along any selected azimuth line.
- the elevation shaft control handle may be connected by suitable linkage to the lower portion of the rotating jacket whereby the one handle serves both to adjust azimuth orientation of the delivery tubes (by rotating the rotating jacket within the fixed base) and elevation of the delivery tubes by vertically moving the elevation shaft relative to the main body portion of the turret.
- the elevation shaft is directly connected to one only of the delivery tubes, preferably to the first delivery tube, and the first and second delivery tubes are connected to each other by delivery tube connecting means, whereby movement of the first delivery tube carries the second delivery tube with it.
- the components of the structure through which the first fire extinguishing agent passes are described as liquid foam" or simply liquid components; the components through which the second fire extinguishing agent passes are described as powder components.
- a liquid foam extinguisher and a dry powder extinguisher is only one possible combination of fire extinguishing agents. Any other combination of agents may be employed with the turret of the present invention, such as water and a liquid foam, water and a powder, or any other fire extinguishing agents in any desired combination. Further, it is conceivable that the fire turret of the invention could be mounted in an upside down position relative to the embodiments illustrated in the Figures.
- the terms upper and uppermost as applied to the apparatus and/or its component parts shall means that portion of the apparatus or components at or nearest the location of the delivery tubes (items 46 and 60 in the drawings), and the terms lower” and lowermost similarly applied shall mean that portion of the apparatus or components at or nearest the operators control handles (items 68, 78 and in the drawings).
- the fire turret of the present invention may of course be affixed to any suitable fire extinguishing apparatus, such as, for example, a fire truck, a fire boat, a stationary or a moveable platform, e.g., a platform at the end of a hydraulically operated boom, etc.

- a guide sleeve 65 extends within the main body portion of turret 12 through second conduit downwardly to and through lower cap 54 at the bottom of fire turret l2, and upwardly to and through upper cap 52 at the top of fire turret 12.
- Guide sleeve 65 is affixed in leak proof relationship to upper cap 52 and to lower cap 54 so that fire extinguishing agents which pass through second conduit 90 of turret 12 do not leak therefrom.
- elevation shaft 66 is slidably received within guide sleeve 65 and extends beyond both ends thereof.
- elevation shaft 66' is connected by linkage 82 to delivery tube 46 by means of a boss 83 at the rear of pivot box 42.
- Outer jacket 50 is mounted within fixed base 38 by means of upper thrust bearings 33 and lower thrust bearings 35, so that outer jacket 50 rotates relative to fixed base 38.
- Thrust bearings 33 and 35 provided lateral support for rotating outer jacket 50, and facilitate rotation thereof within fixed base 38.
- a plurality of 0- rings 51 help to provide sealing between first conduit 88and second conduit 90, and to prevent any crossleakage of fire extinguishing agents between the first and second conduits.
- An inner sleeve 86 is'concentrically positioned within the main body'portion of turret l2, and extends within outer jacket 50 downwardly into fixed base 38.
- First (liquid foam) conduit 88 is formed between the outer walls of inner sleeve 86 and the inner walls of outer jacket 50.
- Second (powder) conduit 90 is formed between the inner walls of inner sleeve 86 and the outer walls of guide sleeve 65.
- liquid inlet conduits 28 and 28a are in liquid flow communication with the lower portion of first conduit 88.
- a series of gates 49 (FIG. 9) formed along the periphery of the lower portion 50a of outer jacket 50 are adjacent the entry area of liquid from conduit 28 and 28a. Liquid flows in the direction shown by the arrows in FIGS. 9 and 10 from liquid conduits 28 and 28a through race 47 and gates 49, thence into first (liquid) conduit 88.
- first conduit 88 is in liquid flow communication through outlet openings 89a and 8% with, respectively, arms 40a and 40b of first (liquid) outlet conduit 40, then with pivot box 42 and delivery tube 46.
- powder inlet conduit 30 is in flow communication with the lower portion of powder conduit 90.
- a series of gates 29 are formed along the periphery of the lower portion 50b of rotating jacket 50 adjacent the entry area of powder conduit 30.
- the powder enters from powder conduit 30 through race 27 and gates 29, thence into second (powder) conduit 90.
- second conduit 90 is in flow communication through outlet opening 92 with second (powder) outlet conduit 56.
- Both first outlet conduit 40 and second outlet conduit 56 are rigidly affixed to outer rotating jacket 50, directly so, in the case of first outlet conduit 40 and through upper cap 52 in the case of second outlet conduit 56, so that discharge tubes 46 and 60 are constrained to rotate with outer jacket 50.
- Rotation of outerjacket 50 within fixed base 38 is obtained manually by rotating control handle 68 about the vertical longitudinal axis of fixed base 38.
- Control handle 68 being connected by linkage 72 to lower cap 54, it serves to rotate outer jacket 50 relative to fixed base 38.
- First outlet conduit 40 and second outlet conduit 56 being affixed to outer jacket 50, are carried, together with their associated delivery tubes 46 and 60, into any desired azimuth orientation by rotation of outer jacket 50.
- control handle 68 operates linkage 72 to move elevation shaft 66 in a vertical direction relative to guide shaft 65; this movement pivots first delivery tube 46 about pivot shaft 44, to adjust the elevation of first delivery tube 46.
- Upward movement of elevation shaft 66 lowers the elevation of delivery tube 46, and downward movement of elevation shaft 65 raises the elevation of delivery tube 46.
- Second delivery tube 60 is constrained to move with first delivery tube 46 by connecting clamp 62, so that the movement of elevation shaft 66 by control handle 68 simultaneously and correspondingly adjusts the elevation of both delivery tubes.
- second (powder) outlet conduit 56 is adjustably connected to outer jacket 50, it can accomodate the elevation changes of first delivery tube 46.

- the lower portion 56a of second outlet conduit 56 is connected by a swivel connection 58 to second outlet conduit 56; received outlet conduit 56 is connected by a second swivel connection 580 to discharge tube 60.
- These swivel connections permit changes in the angle formed between the longitudinal axes of second outlet conduit 56 and discharge tube 60, which is necessary to accomodate elevation changes of the discharge tubes.
- FIGS. 2-5 the main features of the embodiment of the invention shown in FIGS. 2-5 are seen to generally correspond to the FIGS. 6ll embodiment described above.
- second outlet conduit 56 is of a different type in that instead of employing swivel joints so that discharge tube 60 can follow changes in elevation with discharge tube 46, second outlet conduit 56 is here made of a flexible tube material. Any suitable rubber or plastic material tube or a tube of corrugated construction would be suitable, so long as second outlet conduit 56 may flex and change its shape to accomodate changes in elevation of the delivery tubes.
- the two different embodiments of second outlet conduit 56 are each seen to provide an adjustable connection, in the one case by the employment of swivel mountings to connect a rigid tube which forms the second outlet conduit 56, and in the other case by providing second outlet conduit 56 in the form of a flexible, deformable tube.
- the longitudinal axis of powder inlet conduit 30 is substantially perpendicular to the common longitudinal axis of-liquid inlet conduit 28, 28a as compared to the FIGS. 6-11 embodiment wherein the respective longitudinal axes are substantially parallel.
- the respective first and second fire extinguishing agent, eg, powder and liquid, inlet conduits may be arranged in any desired convenient manner insofar as relation of their respective longitudinal axes is concerned. This is an advantageous feature, since the operators station may be contained within confined quarters within the truck cab or body enclosure, and a selection of arrangements of the respective powder and liquid inlet conduits may be essential to making most efficient use of the available space.
