Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fire hose comprising a security device to prevent it from moving under the action of water ensuring its food.
  • Document US-A-2002451 shows a safety device for a water supply pipe which evacuates part of the fluid under pressure, and thereby absorbs the water hammers resulting from the inertia of the water movement when the water supply valve is abruptly closed.
  • the fire hose has tendency to move disordered to the ground, risk of hurting people or damaging objects finding on its trajectory.
  • the present invention is intended more particularly to remedy these drawbacks and, to do so, it has for its object a fire hose of the type indicated in the first paragraph above, this fire hose being characterized in that the safety device comprises a tubular body intended to be connected to a water supply pipe, a butterfly comprising two coaxial journals pivotally mounted on the tubular body, on a horizontal axis extending perpendicular to the direction water flow, the butterfly being movable inside the tubular body between an open position in which it allows the circulation of water and a closed position in which it limits this circulation, a control lever outside of one of the pins, and a trigger carried by the control lever and leaning against the ground by now the butterfly in its open position when the lever of control exerts on him, under the action of water flowing on the butterfly, a vertical force directed downwards.
  • the safety device comprises a tubular body intended to be connected to a water supply pipe, a butterfly comprising two coaxial journals pivotally mounted on the tubular body, on a horizontal axis extending per
  • the tubular body can have a circular cross section and to be traversed, for example diametrically, by the pivot axis trunnions.
  • the part of the butterfly which is upstream of the pivot axis of the trunnions, with respect to the direction flow of water, is directed downwards.
  • the water As the upstream part of the butterfly is inclined downwards, the water has a bigger hold on it and so can the quickly move from its open position to its position of closing as soon as the trigger is no longer subject to the action of a vertical force.
  • the fire hose according to the invention has a stop which, when the water is not flowing, maintains the butterfly in a rest position in which the trigger is away from the ground.
  • the trigger remains above the soil when the water is not flowing, and therefore does not risk to be dirty or deteriorated when the spear is not used.
  • the stop may advantageously be carried by the part of the butterfly which is downstream of the pivot axis of the trunnions, by relative to the flow direction of the water, and lean against the inner face of the tubular body to hold the butterfly in its rest position.
  • the stop Being inside the body of the spear, the stop is perfectly protected against the risk of deterioration of origin external.
  • control lever can be provided with an orifice parallel to the axis of pivoting of the journals while the trigger can include a rod ending in a hook threaded into the hole of the control lever.
  • the rod may further comprise at its end opposite the hook a tip taking support against the ground when the butterfly is in the open position.
  • control lever can advantageously include a maneuvering handle at its opposite end to trigger, the maneuvering handle then extending upwards when the butterfly is in its open position.
  • the fire hose that can be seen in Figure 1 is distinguished from conventional lances only by the device of security 1 which is provided at its entry and through which it is connected to a water supply pipe 2.
  • the safety device 1 comprises a tubular body 3 connected to the pipe 2 by a conventional connector 4, this connection being consisting of two complementary elements carried respectively by the tubular body 3 and the pipe 2.
  • the tubular body 3 encloses a movable butterfly 5 between an open position (visible in FIG. 3) in which it allows the circulation of water and a closed position (visible in Figure 5) in which it limits this circulation.
  • the butterfly 5 is carried by two coaxial journals 6 mounted pivoting on the tubular body 3, on a horizontal axis extending perpendicular to the direction of flow of the water.
  • the tubular body 3 has a circular cross section and is traversed diametrically by the pivot axis of the journals 6, as clearly shown in Figure 2.
  • the safety device 1 also comprises a lever of external control 7 secured to one of the pins 6, and a trigger 8 carried by the lever 7 and whose function will be described below.
  • downstream portion 5b of the butterfly on its underside a stop 9 constituted by a rod cylindrical bearing against the inner face of the tubular body 3 when the lance is not supplied with water.
  • stop 9 keeps the butterfly 5 in a rest position in which trigger 8 is held slightly above the ground.
  • the trigger 8 has for function to keep the butterfly 5 in its open position when the control lever 7 exerts on it, under the action of the water circulating on the upstream part 5a of the butterfly, a force vertical pressing it against the ground.
  • control lever 7 has at its end the closest to the ground an orifice 10 extending parallel to the pivot axis of the journals 6.
  • the trigger 8 it comprises a stem 8a ending by an 8b hook threaded into the orifice 10, and a tip 8c screwed on the rod 8a, on the side opposite the hook 8b, and intended to bear against the ground when the butterfly is in position opening.
  • the trigger 8 could of course be different from the one which has just been described.
  • a ball-and-socket device interposed between the lever 7 and the tip 8c could replace the 8a rod without departing from the scope of the present invention.
  • control lever 7 comprises a operating handle 11 at its end opposite the trigger 8, this handle extending obliquely upwards when the butterfly 5 is in its open position.
  • the butterfly 5 is first positioned in its position of rest by acting on the handle 11 so that the stop 9 come to bear against the inner face of the tubular body 3, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
  • the valve (not shown) connecting the pipe 2 is then opened at the source of water supply.
  • water flows smoothly in the safety device 1 it forces the butterfly 5 to come into its open position by rotating it in the direction of the arrow shown in Figure 3.
  • the control lever 7 applies the trigger 8 against the ground by exerting on him a force vertical downward. The butterfly therefore remains in its open position.
