Abstract
944,203. Fire extinguishing. SAFETY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. Dec. 19, 1961 [Aug. 8, 1961], No. 45474/61. Heading A5A. [Also in Division B1] A foam forming generator 54, Fig. 2, of the type described in Specification 908,741 and consisting of a wind tunnel with a fan at one end and at the other a mesh screen over which is sprayed foam forming solution, has a non-rigid expandable foam discharge tube 58 which may be made of woven fabric. As shown, the generator is mounted on a vehicle 56 and the tube conducts foam through a window 62 or other opening in a building 60 for firefighting purposes; the tube is expanded by the foam and seals against the opening. The tube may be made in sections connected together as at 59 by a sliding clasp fastener. In a modified form as shown in Fig. 8 the generator is mounted on steel wheels 76 and has a handle 78; the frame 70 which houses the foam-forming screen is connected by a flexible conduit 80 with the blower housing 68. The frame 70 is supported by extensible columns 88 which engage the floor 74 and roof of a mine gallery; the cross section of the flexible foam discharge tube 110, when inflated, is greater than that of the gallery. The foam forming solution may consist of 30% active ammonium lauryl sulphate dissolved in water in proportion about 15% active material by weight to give a concentrate which is further mixed with water at a rate of about 3% by volume. For a 1000 to 1 expansion ratio the velocity of the foam in tube 58 should preferably be about 750 feet per minute.
