JPH0420355A - Fire extinguisher with voice generator - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To constitute the fire extinguisher so that the fire fighting operation can be executed without an error, and also, a change to initial fire fighting is not lost by providing a voice generator on the fire extinguisher, and structuring it so that when it is raised in order to use it, the voice generator operates automatically, and how to use is explained in a voice. CONSTITUTION:1 denotes a vessel of a fire extinguisher main body, and 2 denotes a voice generator fixed to a shoulder part of the vessel 1 and contains a battery being a power source, and an explanation of how to use the fire extinguisher is inputted thereto in advance. 3 denotes a switch for operating the voice generater provided on the buttom of the vessel. 6 provided on the side face of the voice generator 2 denotes a power source switch which is contained, and is structured so as to be turned on and off by a driver, and provided in order that the voice generator is not operated in the course of transport and carrying, and it is set to turn-on by the driver, when a user installs the fire extinguisher. When a fire is generated, and the fire extinguisher is raised from the floor for the purpose of fire fighting, the switch 3 is turned on, the voice generator operates, and how to use the fire extinguisher which is inputted in advance is explained repeatedly in a voice.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention provides a fire extinguisher with a sound generator that automatically informs the user how to use the fire extinguisher by emitting a sound when the fire extinguisher is lifted up.

(Prior Art) A conventional fire extinguisher has a nameplate affixed to its side that describes how to use the fire extinguisher.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) A fire extinguisher is a fire extinguisher that anyone can easily operate in the event of a fire emergency.
It must be usable. In reality, fire extinguishers are certainly constructed in such a way that they are easy to operate and use. There is also a nameplate affixed to the side of the fire extinguisher with pictorial text explaining how to use it. Sometimes, during fire drills, we often explain how to use a fire extinguisher, which is important.

There are many reasons for this. People don't know when to use a fire extinguisher, so they don't read the instructions carefully, and they don't know how to use it after just one training session. Even if someone remembers how to use it, they may get upset and forget how to use it. If you're distracted, you won't have the energy to read and understand the illustrated instruction manual attached to the side.

Also, even if you try to practice using the fire extinguisher by yourself, if you remove the safety pin from the provided fire extinguisher and use it once, you will lose the extinguisher and have to refill it. I can't afford to do that.

It is designed to operate automatically and provide audio instructions on how to use it.

(Example) In Figure 1, 1 is the container of the fire extinguisher body, 2 is the container 1
It is a sound generator fixed to the shoulder of the person, and has a built-in battery for power supply.In addition, instructions on how to use the fire extinguisher are inputted. 3 is a switch for operating the sound generator provided at the bottom of the container. When the fire extinguisher is placed upright on the floor, this switch 3 is in a state where the push button of the switch is pressed and the contacts are separated (the sound generation circuit is turned off), and the fire extinguisher is placed on the floor. The mounting structure allows the push button to return to its original position and turn on the sound generation circuit when lifted from the seat.

4 and 5 are levers, and the lower lever 4 is used simply to lift the fire extinguisher, and is normally designed to hang down when it is released.

The upper lever 5 is a lever for starting the fire extinguisher, and by removing the safety pin and simultaneously squeezing and lowering the levers 4 and 5, the extinguishing agent is injected.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the sound generator 2. As shown in FIG. In this figure, reference numeral 6 provided on the side of the sound generator 2 is a built-in power switch, which is turned on and off by a driver.

This is designed to prevent the sound generator from operating during transportation, and when the user installs the fire extinguisher after purchasing it, it can be easily turned on by the driver. It is a switch that uses a screwdriver so that it cannot be turned on or off. In the fire extinguisher of the present invention having such a structure, when a fire occurs and the fire extinguisher is lifted from the floor to extinguish the fire, the switch 3 is turned on and the sound generator is activated to extinguish the fire that has been input in advance. Repeatedly explain how to use the equipment aloud.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment in which the sound generator activation switch 31 is provided at the fulcrum of the lower lever 4 instead of under the container. When the hanging lower lever 4 is lifted to lift the fire extinguisher, the starting point of the lever pushes the push button of the switch 31 and turns on the sound generation circuit. It is effective to hang the fire extinguisher on the wall instead of installing it on the floor.

(Effect of the invention) With the fire extinguisher with a voice generator of the present invention, when you lift the fire extinguisher to extinguish a fire, the voice will automatically explain how to use the fire extinguisher in an easy-to-understand and repeating manner. Even if you are upset, you can perform the necessary operations to extinguish the fire without making any mistakes. Don't miss the chance to extinguish the fire in its early stages. [Sukuno], has a similar effect.
