Abstract

At the release tab (13) of a portable fire extinguisher, designed to be pulled to free the striking knob, an indicator (15) is mounted to the trigger fitting or its cladding (4). It is loosely attached to the tab so that, when the tab (13) is pulled, the indicator (15) springs away from the cladding (4) or the connection fitting. The indicator (15), when in place, has projections which grip back at the mounting position. The release tab engages beneath striking knob, and the indicator is located on the lower side of the release tab a distance from the knob.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Aktivierung der Löschbereitschaft an einem Feuerlöscher mit einer an einer kopfseitigen Armatur auf dem Löschmittelbehälter angeordneten, durch eine Abzuglasche gesicherten Auslösetaste, wie einem Schlagknopf, über welche die mittels eines Ventils steuerbare Ausbringung eines im Löschmittelbehälter druckbeaufschlagten Löschmittels freigegeben wird, wobei an der Abzuglasche eine mechanische Kontrollsicherung vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a device for activation the readiness to extinguish on a fire extinguisher with a on a head-side fitting on the extinguishing agent container arranged release button secured by a trigger tab, like a push button, over which the by means of a Valve controllable application of one in the extinguishing agent container pressurized extinguishing agent is released, with a mechanical control lock on the trigger tab is provided.

Vorrichtungen dieser Art sind von den öffentlich vorbenutzten Feuerlöschern der Baureihe GLORIA-HA unter anderem bekannt. Bei solchen Vorrichtungen dient die Abzuglasche zum Blockieren der Auslösetaste, damit nicht versehentlich der betreffende Feuerlöscher in die Löschbereitschaft versetzt wird. Erst durch gezielte Handhabungen, die aus dem Abziehen der Abzuglasche und dem Niederdrücken der Auslösetaste bestehen, soll der Feuerlöscher in die Löschbereitschaft versetzt werden können. Solange sich also die Abzuglasche an der oberseitig auf dem Löschmittelbehälter des Feuerlöschers sitzenden Armatur befindet, wird damit signalisiert, daß sich der Feuerlöscher noch nach wie vor in eine Löschbereitschaft versetzen läßt.Devices of this type are publicly pre-used Fire extinguishers of the GLORIA-HA series are known among other things. In such devices, the pull tab is used Block the release button so that the fire extinguishers in question are ready for extinguishing becomes. Only through targeted manipulations that result from pulling off the trigger tab and pressing the release button exist, the fire extinguisher should be ready for extinguishing can be moved. So as long as the trigger tab on the top of the extinguisher container of the fire extinguisher seated fitting is signaled that the fire extinguisher is still on fire can move.

Die Praxis hat gezeigt, daß dieser Idealfall nicht immer gegeben ist. Nach Fehlbedienungen, wie einem versehentlichen Abziehen der Abzuglasche sowie Niederdrücken der Auslösetaste oder nach unsachgemäßen Manipulationen an dem Feuerlöschgerät im Zuge eines Vandalismus, wird oft die Abzuglasche in ihre die Auslösetaste blockierende Position zurückgesteckt. Man kann dann nicht erkennen, ob sich der Feuerlöscher noch nach wie vor in eine Löschbereitschaft versetzen läßt. Man hat deshalb bei Vorrichtungen der gattungsgemäßen Art als Kontrollsicherung an der Abzuglasche eine Plombe vorgesehen, deren Fehlen oder Beschädigung jedoch nicht auf den ersten Blick deutlich genug erkannt werden kann.Practice has shown that this ideal case is not always given is. After operating errors, such as accidental Pull off the pull tab and press the release button or after improper tampering with the Fire extinguisher in the course of vandalism, will often be the trigger tab in its position blocking the release button put back. Then you can not tell whether the Fire extinguishers are still on fire can move. One therefore has devices of the generic type Type as a control safeguard on the trigger tab a seal is provided, but its absence or damage cannot be recognized clearly enough at first glance can.

Aus dem Dokument DE-A-27 46 175 ist ein Ventilkopf für Handfeuerlöscher bekannt, bei dem die Auslösetaste durch eine eindrückbare Sicherungstaste endseitig unterstützt ist. Diese Sicherungstaste verbleibt am Ventilkopf und übt in anderer Weise als eine Abzugslasche eine gewisse Signalwirkung nach der erstmaligen Ingebrauchnahme des Feuerlöschers aus.From document DE-A-27 46 175 is a valve head for Hand-held fire extinguisher known, by pressing the release button supports a push-in safety button at the end is. This safety button remains on the valve head and exercises in a different way than a trigger tab a certain signal effect after using the fire extinguisher for the first time out.

Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der gattungsbildenden Art zu schaffen, bei der ausgehend von der Ruhe- oder Ausgangslage der erstmalige Abzug der Abzugslasche deutlich sichtbar gemacht ist.The invention is based on the object of a device to create the generic type, starting with the first deduction from the rest or starting position the trigger tab is clearly visible.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer gattungsgemäßen Vorrichtung nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß an der Sichtseite der Armatur oder deren Verkleidung benachbart der Abzuglasche ein Signalgeber eingesetzt ist, der in der Ausgangslage mit der Abzuglasche und/oder mit der Armatur oder deren Verkleidung derart lösbar verbunden ist, daß er beim Abziehen der Abzuglasche von dieser sowie von der Armatur bzw. deren Verkleidung weg herausgesprengt wird.This object is achieved in a generic device solved according to the invention in that on the visible side the valve or its trim adjacent to the trigger tab a signal generator is used, which is in the starting position with the pull tab and / or with the fitting or its Cover is releasably connected so that it when pulling the pull tab from this and from the valve or whose cladding is blown away.

Für die Erfindung ist wesentlich, daß nach einer Entsicherung der Auslösetaste nicht nur die Abzuglasche sondern auch der Signalgeber fehlt. Da der Signalgeber an der Sichtseite des Feuerlöschers angeordnet ist, ist sein Fehlen nach dem Heraussprengen an dem für ihn vorgesehenen Platz augenfällig, womit hierdurch eine deutliche Signalwirkung besteht. Zudem muß man, sofern versucht werden sollte, den Feuerlöscher wieder in seine Ausgangslage mit eingesetzter Abzuglasche zu versetzen, zwei lose, voneinander getrennte Teile miteinander kombiniert in richtiger Position an der Feuerlöscherarmatur oder ihrer Verkleidung anbringen, was bei fehlender Übung lästig ist und erfahrungsgemäß unterlassen wird. Zudem kann man durch eine geeignete Dimension und Konfiguration des Signalgebers entsprechende Handhabungsschwierigkeiten vorsehen, die nur von einem geschulten Fachpersonal überwunden werden können.It is essential for the invention that after unlocking the release button not only the trigger tab but the signal generator is also missing. Since the signal generator on the The face of the fire extinguisher is located, its absence after blasting out the one intended for him Obvious space, which gives a clear signal effect consists. In addition, one must, if tried should put the fire extinguisher back in its original position used pull tab to move, two loose, from each other separate parts combined in the correct position on the fire extinguisher fitting or its cladding attach what is annoying and lacking in practice and experience has shown is refrained from. In addition, one can suitable dimension and configuration of the signal transmitter corresponding Provide handling difficulties that only by a trained specialist can be overcome.

In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung nach der Erfindung hat die Abzuglasche zumindest einen den Signalgeber in der Ausgangslage formschlüssig hintergreifenden Vorsprung. Beim Abziehen nimmt die Abzuglasche über diesen Vorsprung den Signalgeber mit, der sich im übrigen auch von der Armatur oder deren Verkleidung löst und herunterfällt. Aus diesem Grunde ist der Signalgeber zweckmäßig unterhalb der Abzuglasche angeordnet, die entsprechend einen nach unten vorstehenden, den Signalgeber hintergreifenden Vorsprung hat.In an advantageous embodiment according to the invention, the Pull tab at least one in the starting position form-fitting grip. At the Pulling the pull tab takes over this projection Signal generator with, which is also from the valve or its cover loosens and falls. For this Basically, the signal transmitter is useful below the trigger tab arranged corresponding to a protruding downward, has the lead behind the signal generator.

Der Signalgeber kann grundsätzlich eine beliebige Gestalt haben, wenn er nur genügend auffällt, was man allein durch eine farbliche Kontrastierung zu seiner Umgebung in der Ausgangslage sicherstellen kann. Zweckmäßig ist dazu der Signalgeber an seiner Außenseite flächig ausgebildet, wozu er vorzugsweise die Gestalt eines Plättchens hat, welches in einer Aufnahmemulde an der Außenseite der Armatur oder deren Verkleidung eingesenkt angeordnet ist. Während die Außenseite der Armatur oder die Außenseite der Armatur-Verkleidung in einem schlichten Farbton gehalten ist, beispielsweise in schwarz, führt man den Signalgeber in einer grellen Signalfarbe aus, hierfür kommt beispielsweise ein Grünton in Betracht. The signal generator can basically have any shape if he only notices enough what you can do by yourself a color contrast to its surroundings in the Can ensure starting position. It is useful for this Signal generator flat on its outside, for what it preferably has the shape of a plate, which in a recess on the outside of the fitting or the cladding is arranged recessed. While the Outside of the fitting or the outside of the fitting cladding is kept in a simple color, for example in black, one leads the signal generator in one glaring signal color, this is used for example Green tone into consideration.

Ein weiteres besonderes Merkmal der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung liegt darin, daß bei abgesprengtem Signalgeber ein Wandabschnitt der Armatur oder der Armaturenverkleidung freigelegt ist, auf dem sich ein Schriftfeld findet. Dieses Schriftfeld trägt einen lesbaren Hinweis auf den fehlenden Signalgeber, der sich auf einem bedruckten Etikett befinden kann, das ebenfalls in einer Signalfarbe, wie orange, ausgeführt ist. Als schriftlicher Hinweis kann hier beispielsweise "entsichert-prüfen lassen" stehen.Another special feature of the device according to the invention is that when the signal generator has blown off Wall section of the fitting or the fitting cladding is exposed, on which there is a text field. This The title block bears a legible reference to the missing Signal generator located on a printed label can, which is also carried out in a signal color, such as orange is. For example, as a written note "unlocked-check".

Um ganz sicher zu gehen, daß selbst dann, wenn der Signalgeber samt der Abzuglasche trotz aller Vorkehrungen wieder an dem dafür vorbestimmten Platz an der Armatur oder ihrer Verkleidung angebracht worden ist, kann man noch eine Plombe vorsehen, die beim Herausspringen des Signalgebers aus einem irreversibel zerstörten Material, wie Kunststoff, besteht und den Signalgeber mit einem Teil der Armatur oder ihrer Verkleidung verbindet.To be absolutely sure that even if the signal generator including the trigger tab despite all the precautions at the predetermined place on the fitting or its Panel has been attached, you can still use a seal provide that when the auto switch pops out an irreversibly destroyed material, such as plastic and the signal generator with part of the valve or their disguise connects.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungsmerkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous design features of the invention result from the subclaims.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung an einem Ausführungsbeispiel noch näher erläutert. Dabei zeigen:

Im einzelnen erkennt man in Fig. 1 einen Wandhalter 1, an dem ein Feuerlöscher 2 angehängt ist. Der Feuerlöscher 2 weist einen Löschmittelbehälter 3 auf, dessen unterer Bereich in der Zeichnung nicht wiedergegeben ist. In üblicher Ausführung ist der Löschmittelbehälter 3 hohlzylindrisch ausgebildet, und an diese Zylinderform schließt am Oberende des Löschmittelbehälters 3 eine Verkleidung 4 mit gleichem Durchmesser an. Dazu hat die haubenförmige Verkleidung 4 einen unteren Abschnitt 6, der entsprechend dem Löschmittelbehälter 3 ebenfalls hohlzylindrisch ist und mit im wesentlichen gleichem Durchmesser an den Löschmittelbehälter 3 von oben her angesetzt ist. Die Haube oder Verkleidung 4 hat einen Oberabschnitt 5, der im wesentlichen die Außenkontur einer halbkugeligen Kuppel aufweist.1 shows a wall holder 1 to which a fire extinguisher 2 is attached. The fire extinguisher 2 has an extinguishing agent container 3, the lower area is not shown in the drawing. In the usual The extinguishing agent container 3 is hollow cylindrical trained, and this cylinder shape connects at the top the extinguishing agent container 3, a panel 4 with the same Diameter. For this purpose, the hood-shaped covering 4 a lower section 6, which corresponds to the extinguishing agent container 3 is also hollow cylindrical and with essentially same diameter to the extinguishing agent container 3 is set from above. The hood or panel 4 has an upper section 5, which is essentially the outer contour has a hemispherical dome.

Wie Fig. 2 weiter veranschaulicht befindet sich unter der Verkleidung 4 eine Armatur 7, über die der Löscher in eine Löschbereitschaft versetzt werden kann. Dazu muß das im Löschmittelbehälter befindliche Löschmittel unter Druck gesetzt werden, wozu im Innern des Löschmittelbehälters 3 eine Druckgasflasche 8 angeordnet ist, die unterseitig an die Armatur 7 angeflanscht ist. Die Druckgasflasche 8 ist an ihrem Oberende mittels einer Berstscheibe 9 verschlossen, die von einer Anstechnadel 10 oder einem Anstechmesser durchstoßen werden kann. Die Betätigung der Anstechnadel 10 erfolgt über einen Stößel 11 durch eine Auslösetaste 12, die als Schlagknopf im oberen Scheitelbereich der Armaturverkleidung 4 angeordnet ist.As further illustrated in FIG. 2, is located under the Cover 4 a fitting 7, through which the extinguisher in a Readiness for deletion can be set. To do this in Extinguishing agent containers are pressurized be what a inside of the extinguishing agent container 3 Compressed gas bottle 8 is arranged on the underside of the Armature 7 is flanged. The compressed gas bottle 8 is on closed at the top by means of a rupture disc 9, that of a piercing needle 10 or a piercing knife can be pierced. The actuation of the piercing needle 10 takes place via a plunger 11 by a release button 12, as a push button in the upper part of the dashboard 4 is arranged.

Wie aus den Figuren 1 und 2 hervorgeht, wird die Auslösetaste 12 bzw. der Schlagknopf, der sich formschlüssig in die ballige Außenkontur des kuppelförmigen Oberabschnittes 5 der Verkleidung 4 einfügt, von einer Abzuglasche 13 untergriffen, die in ihrer Ausgangs- oder Ruhelage ein Niederschlagen der Auslösetaste 12 blockiert. Dazu stützt sich die im wesentlichen flachliegend ausgebildete Abzuglasche 13 in der Ausgangslage auf einer oberen Deckwand 32 der haubenförmigen Armaturenverkleidung 4 ab. Die Abzuglasche 13 steht mit einer Grifföse 14 an der Vorderseite der Armaturenverkleidung 4 im wesentlichen horizontal ausgerichtet vor, sie kann deshalb leicht an der Grifföse 14 ergriffen und unter der Auslösetaste 12 weg abgezogen werden.As can be seen from Figures 1 and 2, the trigger button 12 or the impact button, which fits into the spherical outer contour of the dome-shaped upper section 5 the panel 4 inserts, underpinned by a pull tab 13, a precipitation in their starting or resting position the release button 12 blocked. This is supported the pull-tab designed essentially flat 13 in the starting position on an upper cover wall 32 of the hood-shaped fitting trim 4. The trigger tab 13 stands with a handle eyelet 14 on the front of the instrument panel 4 aligned essentially horizontally before, it can therefore easily be gripped by the gripping eye 14 and be pulled away under the release button 12.

An der in der bereitgehaltenen Ausgangslage vorn liegenden Sichtseite des Feuerlöschers 2 befindet sich unterhalb der Abzuglasche 13 ein Signalgeber 15 in Gestalt eines Plättchens, das, wie Fig. 3 wiedergibt, in eine in die Armaturenverkleidung 4 eingesenkte Aufnahmemulde 18 einsetzbar ist. Die Aufnahmemulde 18 liegt im Bereich des kuppelförmigen oberen Abschnittes 5 der Armaturenverkleidung 4, entsprechend ist der plättchenförmige Signalgeber 15 leicht sphärisch gewölbt und hat ebenso wie die zugehörige Aufnahmemulde 18 eine rechteckige Grundform. Im unteren Bereich der Aufnahmemulde 18 befindet sich ein Durchbruch 20 mit einer freiliegenden Wandkante 21 der Armaturenverkleidung 4, auf die der plättchenförmige Signalgeber 15 mit einem entlang seiner Unterkante verlaufenden Hakensteg 22 aufgesetzt werden kann. Der Hakensteg 22 schließt eine nach unten offene Nut 23 ein, mit der der plättchenförmige Signalgeber 15 auf die Wandkante 21 der Armaturenverkleidung 4 aufgesetzt und um diese Wandkante 21 geschwenkt werden kann. Die Sicherung des aufgesetzten Signalgebers 15 erfolgt mittels daran nahe der Oberkante an der Innenseite vorstehender Rastlaschen 24, die in entsprechende Rastschlitze 25 eingreifen, welche sich im Bereich eines die Rückwand der Aufnahmemulde 18 bildenden Wandabschnittes 19 der Armaturenverkleidung 4 befinden.At the front in the ready position Visible side of the fire extinguisher 2 is below the Trigger tab 13 a signal transmitter 15 in the form of a plate, that, as shown in Fig. 3, in a in the instrument panel 4 recessed recess 18 can be used is. The receiving trough 18 lies in the area of the dome upper section 5 of the dash panel 4, accordingly the plate-shaped signal generator 15 is light spherically curved and has the same as the corresponding receiving trough 18 a rectangular basic shape. In the area below there is an opening 20 in the receiving trough 18 an exposed wall edge 21 of the valve trim 4, on which the plate-shaped signal transmitter 15 with a placed along its lower edge hook web 22 can be. The hook web 22 closes one down open groove 23 with which the plate-shaped signal transmitter 15 on the wall edge 21 of the instrument panel 4 put on and pivoted about this wall edge 21 can. The attached signal transmitter 15 is secured by means of it near the top edge on the inside protruding locking tabs 24 which in corresponding locking slots 25 intervene, which is in the area of a Rear wall of the receiving recess 18 forming wall section 19th the dash panel 4 are.

Wie aus Fig. 2 hervorgeht hat die Abzuglasche 13 einen nach unten vorstehenden Vorsprung 17, der in der Ausgangslage hinter den in die Aufnahmemulde 18 eingesetzten plättchenförmigen Signalgeber 15 greift. Dieser Formschluß bewirkt, daß beim Abziehen der Abzuglasche 13 der plättchenförmige Signalgeber 15 mitgenommen und hierbei aus der Aufnahmemulde 18 der Armaturenverkleidung 4 herausgesprengt wird. Hierbei verschwenkt sich zunächst der Signalgeber 15 im Bereich der unterseitigen Nut 23 um die Wandkante 21 der Armaturenverkleidung 4, bis schließlich der Hakensteg 22 von der Wandkante 21 völlig freikommt und der Signalgeber 15 herausgeschleudert wird und herunterfällt. Hieran wird der Signalgeber 15 auch deshalb nicht gehindert, weil er sich in der Ausgangslage unterhalb der Abzuglasche 13 befindet. As can be seen from Fig. 2, the trigger tab 13 has one projection 17 below, in the starting position behind the platelet-shaped inserted into the receiving trough 18 Signal generator 15 engages. This form fit causes that when pulling the trigger tab 13 the plate-shaped Signal generator 15 taken away and here from the receiving trough 18 the dash panel 4 is blown out. The signal transmitter 15 initially pivots in the area the underside groove 23 around the wall edge 21 of the valve trim 4, until finally the hook web 22 of the wall edge 21 is completely exposed and the signal generator 15 is thrown out and falls down. This is where the Signal generator 15 also not hindered because it is is in the starting position below the trigger tab 13.

Fig. 3 gibt die Abzuglasche 13 in teilabgezogener Position wieder, wobei auch hier der unterseitige Vorsprung 17 daran erkennbar ist, der beim Abziehen der Abzuglasche 13 den Signalgeber 15 mitnimmt. Ist der Signalgeber 15 in seiner Ausgangslage in die Aufnahmemulde 18 der Armaturenverkleidung 4 eingesetzt, stützt er sich mit seiner Innenseite an einem Wandabschnitt 19 der Armaturenverkleidung 4 ab. Hierbei fluchten zwei Löcher 27 und 28, die sich zum einen im Signalgeber 15 und zum anderen in dem rückwärtigen Wandabschnitt 19 der Aufnahmemulde 18 befinden, und durch diese Löcher 27 und 28 hindurch ist eine Plombe 16 einsetzbar, die auch in Fig. 1 andeutungsweise wiedergegeben ist. Die Plombe 16 weist einen äußeren Kopf 30 auf, der nicht durch die miteinander fluchtenden Löcher 27 und 28 hindurchpaßt. Durch diese Löcher 27, 28 wird lediglich ein Steg 29 der Plombe 16 hindurchgesteckt, der Widerhaken 31 aufweist, die in eingesetzter Position hinter die Wandung im Bereich des Loches 28 des Wandabschnittes 19 greifen. Die gesamte Plombe 16 besteht aus einem irreversiblen, zerstörbaren Material, wie einem geeigneten Kunststoff, welches beim Absprengen des Signalgebers 15 zerrissen wird.Fig. 3 gives the trigger tab 13 in the partially withdrawn position again, here also the underside projection 17 on it It can be seen that the signal generator when pulling the trigger tab 13 15 takes away. Is the signal generator 15 in his Starting position in the receiving trough 18 of the valve trim 4 used, it supports itself with its inside from a wall section 19 of the instrument panel 4. Here align two holes 27 and 28, which are in one Signal generator 15 and the other in the rear wall section 19 of the receiving trough 18 are located, and by this A seal 16 can be inserted through holes 27 and 28, which is also indicated in Fig. 1. The Seal 16 has an outer head 30 that does not pass through the holes 27 and 28 aligned with each other. Through these holes 27, 28 is only a web 29 of the Seal 16 inserted through, the barb 31, which in the inserted position behind the wall in the area of the Grip hole 28 of the wall section 19. The entire seal 16 consists of an irreversible, destructible material, like a suitable plastic, which when blasting off of the signal generator 15 is torn.

Wie Fig. 3 und vor allem Fig. 3a deutlich machen, nimmt die rückwärtige Wandung 19 der Aufnahmemulde 18 ein Schriftfeld 26 auf, auf dem beispielsweise ein Etikett in einer Signalfarbe, wie orange, aufgeklebt sein kann. Davon hebt sich farblich der Signalgeber 15 ab, der beispielsweise in einem grellen Grün gehalten ist. Wird bei fehlendem Signalgeber 15 das Schriftfeld 26 am Grund der Aufnahmemulde 18 sichtbar, wird dadurch signalisiert, daß die Abzuglasche 13 vom Feuerlöscherkopf entfernt war oder noch entfernt ist, sofern sie nicht zurückgesteckt wurde. Das Schriftbild 26 kann einen entsprechenden Hinweis auf die notwendige Überprüfung des Feuerlöschers beinhalten.As FIG. 3 and especially FIG. 3a make clear, the rear wall 19 of the receiving trough 18 a writing field 26 on which, for example, a label in a signal color, how orange can be glued on. That stands out the color of the signal generator 15, for example in one bright green. If there is no signal generator 15 the writing field 26 is visible at the base of the receiving trough 18, is signaled that the trigger tab 13 from Extinguisher head was removed or is still removed, provided it was not put back. The typeface 26 can provide an appropriate indication of the necessary review of the fire extinguisher.
