Abstract

Device to suffocate a fire produced in a building; characterized in that it comprises a pump defined by a hollow body whose interior carries a charge of a flame retardant component and an actuator that when it impacts on the surface of the building activates a detonator that explodes the explosive charge, spreading the fire retardant component over the entire surface of the radius of action, the detonator and the explosive charge being found inside a receptacle with the detonator connected by means of an electric cable to the actuators that are mounted on the surface of the pump body.

Description

Device to quell a fire produced in A building

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a device  to quell a fire produced in a building.

Background of the invention

At present there are important problems to the time to put out a fire in a building, especially if it’s considerable height, since the technical means do not reach put out the flames from a certain height.

So, for example, the water pressure is not enough to reach a certain height which favors that the flames spread easily to the upper heights It is virtually impossible to put out the fire and structure of it usually steel suffers enough for it produce the general collapse of the building.

It is well known that when this occurs circumstance furniture and files are destroyed only the skeleton or structure of the building at the mercy of the calls.

The problems caused by this type of fire Not only are they material, but they are usually accompanied of losses of human lives.

To solve these problems, the device of the invention that is easy to carry out, and also It presents an easy transport to be launched from a helicopter or with a cannon in the case of having a missile shape.

Description of the invention

The device of the invention comprises a preferably spheroidal body whose interior appears a enclosed space in which an explosive charge is shown arranged with a detonator, which explodes this charge, related by electric cables with an actuator.

The actuators are spread over the surface of the spheroid body so that upon impact of any of the actuators with a part of the building the explosion of the body of what constitutes a bomb.

Inside the spheroid body is arranged  the flame retardant material used to quell the fire.

Once the spherical body impacts on the  building occurs the explosion and the disintegration or breakage of the same causes fireproof material to fall into the impact zone that It contains suffocating the flames.

This flame retardant material can be among others carbon dioxide.

A variant embodiment of the invention is when the body is shaped like a missile that it carries on the end corresponding from its warhead a timer or control actuator remote that is in communication with the detonator located in the opposite extreme zone that drives the explosive charge that breaks the Missile body containing the flame retardant material.

In this embodiment, by the shape of the body You can launch and enter remotely through a small area of the building that suffers fire, for example, through a window and also with the great advantage that it can explode in a way delayed, that is controlled.

With the device of the invention you can turn off immediately or significantly reduce the flames of A building that suffers a fire.

Also these bombs when they have ways of missile can be fired remotely so firefighters can act at a much greater safety distance.

In addition, with this device you can reach plants in building inaccessible to water hoses because they are too high

In summary with the device of the invention Whether the pump is spheroidal or missile-shaped, it can be launch well from a helicopter or with a remote cannon and impact comfortably and safely in corresponding areas of the building and thus be able to easily quell the fire to which it is  subdued

Cannons can be installed in vehicles ground to drop bombs accurately and impact the affected area or zones of the building.

These cannons, when smaller, can  be carried by people and throw with them these bombs with the corresponding flame retardant product.

Brief description of the drawings

Figure 1 shows a side view of the pump carrying fireproof material inside, according to the invention.

Figure 2 shows a variant of the pump Figure 1

Figure 3 shows a missile-shaped bomb according to the invention.

Description a practical example of realization of the invention

The device 1 of the invention used to quench the fire produced in a building comprises a bomb with a hollow body 2 that can be of any type of material provided that they meet the characteristics of use for the own device.

The hollow body 2, which carries inside the flame retardant material 3, can be spherical in which case, figure 1, it carries on its surface actuators 4 that when they impact with the building surface operated by electric cables 5 a detonator 6 that explodes the load 7 that carries Inwardly the hollow body.

When the explosion occurs, the 3 flame retardant component over the entire surface of the radius of action.

When the pump is delayed it carries a timer 8.

The bomb can be shaped like a missile, figure 3, in  whose case on the outside of the warhead 9 presents the actuator 4 which when it hits the surface of the building it drives through the electric conductor 5 the detonator 6 that blows the charge explosive 7 that internally carries the hollow body of the missile.

When the explosion occurs, the 3 flame retardant component over the entire surface of the radius of action of the missile.

Describe sufficiently the nature of the invention, as well as how to perform it in practice, should be noted that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are susceptible to modifications of detail as long as they do not alter the principle fundamental.

Claims (7)

1. Device to quell a fire produced in a building; characterized in that it comprises a pump defined by a hollow body whose interior carries a load of a flame retardant component and an actuator that when it hits the surface of the building activates a detonator that explodes the explosive charge by spreading the flame retardant component over the entire surface of the radius of action, finding the detonator and the explosive charge inside a receptacle with the detonator being connected by means of an electric cable to the actuators that are mounted on the surface of the pump body. 2. Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the pump is delayed for which it is adopted from a timer as a remote control actuator. 3. Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the pump body is spherical in shape, the actuators being positioned on the inner surface of the pump body. Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the pump is shaped like a missile and the free end of the warhead has the actuator, while the detonator and the explosive charge are located in a housing of the rear end of the missile and therefore both isolated from the fire retardant component. 5. Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the pump is launched from a helicopter. 6. Device according to claim 4 characterized in that the pump is launched by means of a cannon. 7. Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the flame retardant component is carbon dioxide.
