Description

FIRE PROTECTION COVER

  The subject of the present invention is a fire blanket intended to be placed in places where the risk of fire is high and particularly in places where flammable products are used (restaurants, kitchens, hotels, laboratories, hospitals, etc.). - etc). This coverage must be constantly available and able to

  be unhooked and used quickly when needed.

  Many fire blankets are already known today.

  LEMENT. These covers are, in general, folded and stored either in a boltier or support associated with means of quick opening (trapdoor opening down, means with springs ...) and allowing - to deploy quickly this cover, either in a bag forming a cover closed at its lower end and provided at this end with a closure device, fasteners fixed to the cover, passing through this closure device, so that a traction exerted on these fasteners causes the opening of this device and the extraction of

the cover of the bag.

  In yet another type of device, the fire blanket

  bent is secured to the bottom of a housing by means of

  sions, glued strips ... etc, and is unhooked from this case by simple

  pull on one of its free corners folded in the center of it.

  The object of the present invention is a fire blanket of the aforementioned type, that is to say comprising a container in which the blanket is stored. According to the invention, the container is open at its lower end and the fire blanket is held inside this container at the upper end thereof.

clip type means.

  If necessary, simply enter the cover by opening the door.

  ture the container and pull it down to extract it from the container.

  Advantageously, the container in which the cover is stored is constituted by a bag shaped cover and means

  Clip type pinches the cover through this bag.

  These clamp-type means are then formed by a tube of length substantially equal to the width of the folded cover, and showing a longitudinal slot of width less than the double

  the thickness of the bag increased by that of the cover folded in.

  Advantageously also, means are provided for suspending

  the bag by its upper end regardless of the cover.

  These means can be formed on the one hand by a rigid rod passed along this upper end of the bag and each end of which is inserted into the hole of a cap closing one end of the tube and, on the other hand, by at least a hook arranged opposite

the slit of the tube.

  They may also be formed by a string passed along the upper end of the bag and having both ends

are tied together.

  The bag can then be hung by the string and the hook

to be deleted.

  The container in which the cover is stowed can also be constituted by a rigid housing, the clamp-type means are then formed by a tube of length slightly greater than the width of the housing and therefore of the folded cover, and showing a longitudinal slot width less than the thickness of the folded cover.

  The two containers mentioned above may be combined, the

  folded leaf is then both stored in the bag and protected by

the rigid case.

  In order to allow the attachment of the folded cover, and stored or not in the bag, two notches are provided at the upper end of the housing, each of these notches being adapted to receive

the tube pinching the cover.

  Anyway, the invention will be well understood and others

  characteristics will be highlighted using the description

  which follows with reference to the attached schematic drawing showing by way of non-limiting examples two embodiments of the fire blanket according to the invention: Figure 1 is a perspective view, according to a first embodiment; Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view, Figure 3 is a sectional view along 3-3 of Figure 1, Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 1 of a second

embodiment.

  The fire protection device (2) shown in FIG. 1 is externally in the form of a bag (3) in the form of a cover, in which the fire blanket (4) is stored, held in a tube

  cylindrical (5) and adapted to be suspended by a hook (6).

  The bag (3) is closed at its upper end (3a) and on each of its lateral edges (3b). Its lower end (3c) is open. The bag (3) may be of any material, preferably non-flammable, and in particular does not need to have a particular mechanical strength since it serves merely to protect the cover (4) and has no role of support. It can be transparent

  or opaque, square, rectangular or other shape.

  The fire blanket (4) is made of a test material

  permanent fire such as glass cloth. It is preferable

  at one end of the blanks (4a) so as to form two tongues (4b) intended to protrude

  relative to the bag (3) when the cover (4) is stored in the

  this. These tongues (4b) facilitate the gripping of the cover (4)

  in case of need and its removal from the bag (3).

  The cylindrical tube (5) has a longitudinal slot (Sa)

  diametrically opposed to the hook (6), of width less than the thickness

  the bag (3) plus the cover (4) folded in this bag. This tube (5) is made of a sufficiently rigid material to be able to pinch the cover (4) folded into the bag (3) and introduced into its slot (5a), and to hold it there when the bag (3) is suspended

by the hook (6) (see Figure 3).

  The cylindrical tube (5) is closed at each of its ends

  end by a cap (7) of complementary shape. Each caput

  chon (7) has a circular sole (7a) of the same diameter as the outer diameter of the tube (5) and a pin (7b) cylindrical of the same diameter as the inner tube (5) and adapted to be introduced into this tube. In the example of the drawing, this tenon (7b) is cylindrical, but

  it goes without saying that it could have any other form (triangular section).

  lar ... etc). A through hole (7c) is formed in each cap (7). A rigid rod (8), slightly longer than the tube (5), passes through it as well as the upper end (3a) of the bag (3) introduced into this tube (5), as shown in FIG. This rod (8) is then introduced by each of its ends into the hole (7c) of each of the caps (7) closing the tube (5) and is thus rendered integral with it. This rod (8) keeps the bag (3) in the tube (5), suspended by the hook (6) and thus maintain the bag secured to the tube, when the cover (4) is removed from the bag (3) and that the thickness of it no longer allows him to be pinched by

the tube (5).

  One or both ends of the rod (8) can be threaded to be screwed into a corresponding thread of the hole (7c), and

  perfect the rod-cap connection.

  In the example of FIG. 4, the fire protection device (2) according to the invention, that is to say the fire blanket (4) stored in the bag (3), is itself protected. by a rigid metal case. This casing is formed by a metal casing (10), constituted for example by a U-folded sheet metal sheet. The metal casing (10) comprises two lateral walls (11) forming the wings of the U, and a front wall ( 12). It is open at both its upper and lower ends respectively (10a, 10c9

and does not present a background.

  Each side wall (11) has a right angle return (13), in which is provided one or more openings (13a) for

  fixing the metal envelope on a wall.

  At the upper end of each side wall is provided a notch (14) in an arc of a circle whose radius corresponds to that

of the tube f5).

  The two notches (14) serve as housing for the tube (5) and allow the suspension of the cover (4) and the bag (3) on

the envelope (10).

  Of course, the fire blanket (4) could be suspended in the metal casing (10) without the bag (3), the cylindrical tube (5) would then have a slot width smaller than the thickness of the

  folded cover (4) to pinch only the latter.

  This metal casing (10) provides additional protection for the fire blanket (4) and possibly its

  bag (3), and is particularly suitable for industry and communities.

  Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above as non-limiting examples, it encompasses all the embodiments using equivalent meanso Thus, by for example, a string could be passed into the upper end (3a) of the bag (3) instead of the stem (8), this

  tied string would suspend the bag (3) and also remove

  the hook (6), or that the tube intended to pinch the cover could be square, have a triangular section ... etc, or that other means could be used to pinch the cover,

  without departing from the scope of the invention.
