Definitions

  • This invention relates to a fireproof cover, in particular a fireproof cover to extinguish a fire of a vehicle, in particular of a public passenger transport vehicle.
  • firefighters tend to spray fire extinguishing products, such as foams or liquids with a firefighting chemical composition, directly inside and/or on the burning vehicle and as soon as possible.
  • firefighting products such as foams and fluids tend to be disposed of through sewers, polluting the environment due to their chemical composition.
  • the invention aims to solve the drawbacks mentioned above in an economical, improved, and ecological way.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a fireproof cover 1 according to the invention essentially comprising a sheet 2 made of fireproof material, and large enough to entirely cover a road vehicle.
  • the fireproof cover 1 has a rectangular shape and a surface area of approximately 100 m 2 , i.e. a size that can be used to cover a vehicle intended for public transport.
  • the sheet 2 therefore comprises a pair of side edges 2a and a pair of transverse edges 2b.
  • the fireproof cover 1 can advantageously comprise hooking means 3 configured to enable the coupling of the cover 1 with handling means, described below, configured to move the cover 1.
  • the coupling means 3 may comprise a plurality of holes 4 that are made, at least close to the vertices of the shape defined by the sheet 2.
  • the coupling means 3 may, therefore, comprise at least four holes 4 made at the vertices of the rectangular shape and, as illustrated, comprise a pair of more holes 4 aligned and spaced apart along their respective axes A parallel to the side edges 2a of the sheet 2.
  • the fireproof cover 1 can advantageously comprise clamping means 5 configured to clamp the covering of the sheet 2 around the vehicle on which it is placed.
  • the clamping means 5 may comprise a cord 6 supported by at least one sheath on the sheet 2 and of sufficient length to define a path 7 of a predetermined shape.
  • the sheath is part of the sheet 2.
  • the cord 6 in a first operating state, the cord 6 is inserted inside its sheath of equal length to the length of the path 7; as a result, the sheet 2 is not deformed.
  • part of the cord 6 is removed from the sheath, i.e. the length of the cord 6 inside the sheath is less than the length of the path 7; as a result, the sheet 2 is deformed and blocked along the path 7.
  • the path 7 may be a path that is essentially rectangular in shape, so that it can be coupled to a vehicle during use.
  • the cover 1 can also comprise multiple clamping means 5 configured to define their respective paths 7 in order to be optimally coupled to vehicles of different sizes and shapes.
  • the cover 1 comprises a pair of clamping means 5 each defining a rectangular path 7, in particular a first rectangular path 7 entirely comprised in a second rectangular path 7 that is, obviously, larger in size.
  • the path 7 preferably has a shape similar to that defined by the sheet 2; in this case, the paths 7 have a rectangular shape similar to that of the sheet 2.
  • similar we mean geometrically similar, i.e. a shape with the same ratios between the distances defined by its sides.
  • the cover 1 may also comprise at least one fluidic coupling means 8 configured to enable a fluid, e.g. an inert gas (e.g. nitrogen) or a fire extinguisher liquid, to flow through the sheet 2.
  • a fluid e.g. an inert gas (e.g. nitrogen) or a fire extinguisher liquid
  • the fluidic coupling means 8 may comprise a sleeve 9, which passes through the sheet 2 and is configured to be coupled to a dedicated pipe.
  • the sleeve 9 is located in the centre of the sheet 2, i.e. at the intersection point of a pair of axes B and C, respectively longitudinal and transverse of the sheet 2.
  • rescuers may unwind the cover 1 so as to place it close to and aligned with the vehicle 10 and with sufficient space for its movement, as illustrated in Figure 2A .
  • the handling of the cover 1 occurs via the hooking means 3; in this specific case, the rescuers use rods (or mechanical means of the rescue vehicles) the heads of which are inserted into the holes 4 that enable the cover 1 to be positioned above the vehicle 10 so as it is substantially aligned with the latter.
  • the rescuers can tension the clamping means 5, i.e. the cord 6, thus applying the cover 1 so that it adheres to the walls of the vehicle 10 as illustrated in Figure 2B .
  • an inert gas under pressure i.e. the pressure of which is higher than atmospheric pressure
  • a pipe 11 previously coupled to the sleeve 9 and then injected into a space delimited by the cover 1 and the vehicle 10.
  • oxygen is pushed underneath the vehicle 10 and, as a result, the fire tends to go out.
  • the cover 1 enables a fire to be extinguished without approaching the vehicle 10 and in confined spaces.
  • cover 1 can be used for vehicles of different sizes and shapes, such as large vehicles like public passenger transport vehicles.
  • the use is immediate and enables the fire to be extinguished by oxygen asphyxiation in a safe manner without using firefighting agents.
  • the coupling means 3 could comprise various elements such as hooks, sheaths, or any other element that can be coupled to movement means such as a rod or robotic arm.
  • clamping means 5 could be manufactured differently while retaining the same function or, again, the fluidic coupling means 8 may be absent or there may be more of them.
