Extinguishing Gun
Independent, Quick, always ready at Hand!
Description
Starting point: It is summertime! And children like to play with water guns. Here you fill water into a tank, pump up gun manually, and use trigger to spray water at other persons. Such water guns can have really fine pressure and can spray water over several meters. (For effectiveness of volume of extinguishing agent depending on fire fighting effect look at added reference!) From this point I suggest a smart firefighting device which is * independent * quick * always ready at hand ...and it is not the known fire extinguisher... Design: Fighting: Device consists mainly of four parts * loading part * extinguishing agent part * release system, with grip and trigger * nozzle All build up similar to an air gun. Detection / Activation: Such device can be placed in a quiver at machines or at places in the factory whith potential fire risk. There the Extinguishing Gun is always at hand when needed. It is easy to handle and activate. And every worker can use such device because it is selfdescriptive. Add Extinguishing Gun * In Factory Halls * At machinery * In storage areas Therefore holders mounted at walls or at machinery are • a cheap and easy application • such holders keep Extinguishing Guns save and always available Scalability of loading system Three possible principles * with manual load_pump up * with CO 2 cartridge * with compressed air cartridge Scalability of Extinguishing agent tank * tanks with different extinguishing agents applicable Scalability of spray nozzle * full jet * circular jet * flat * double * .... Scalability of mounting • easy mounting • easy to move and mounting at other places • easy and cheap holders Protection Effectiveness: * the extinguishing agent is ejected with high speed * the extinguishing agent is sprayed very finely over the fire source * temperature is reduced quickly Advantages: * ready to use * easy to handle * no special training necessary * short precise shots * independent from other systems * easy technical design * light weight... ...light weight requires new tank materials like perhaps carbon, 2-component materials, reinforced materials, which offer more volume by less weight and therefor longer operating time ... So such system offers * fast response * cost efficiency * NO installation effort * few maintenance * scalability Disadvantage * such system is more for incipient fires... ...But it can rescue life, and safe equipment...
