Description

Fire hydrant assembly {FIRE HYDRANT ASSEMBLY}

The present invention relates to a fire hydrant assembly, and more particularly, to a fire hydrant assembly that allows pedestrians or drivers to increase the visibility of the fire hydrant and to easily waterproof the fire water in case of an emergency.

A fire hydrant is a facility for supplying water for fire suppression by being connected to a fire engine dispatched in case of a fire.

Fire hydrants are obligatory to be installed in buildings of a certain size or larger, and are installed at regular intervals even on the streets of the city.

However, compared to fire hydrants installed in buildings, the management of fire hydrants installed outdoors is often neglected due to unclear management or lack of manpower.

Moreover, since fire hydrants are considered to be used semi-permanently unless damaged arbitrarily, management is often neglected.

However, there is a risk of corrosion because the fire hydrant installed outdoors is always exposed to rain or snow.

And in the case of an outdoor fire hydrant, since it is always exposed to people passing by, it is common that various locking parts are strongly tightened so that they do not open easily.

However, in this state, if the screw threads of the faucet or the outlet cover are corroded or damaged, the fire hydrant is opened and connected to a fire engine, etc. It can take a considerable amount of time to do.

In severe cases, the fire hydrant may not function properly, causing serious damage in a fire where initial suppression is important.

Moreover, there are cases where fire hydrants spoil the surrounding aesthetics due to their crude shape.

However, installing a screen or blocking fence in the form of a partition on all outdoor fire hydrants is not only not good for the aesthetics of the city, but it can be difficult to use quickly at the fire site when a locking device is installed, and above all, there is a problem in that it costs excessively.

Therefore, there is a need for a fire hydrant or its protective device that can protect the fire hydrant while maintaining the current form of the outdoor fire hydrant and does not impair the aesthetics of the city or the convenience of use.

Here, the first support plate 170 is provided with an upper surface on which the open nipple 130 is disposed and the rotation support rail 174 is formed around the open nipple 130 .

In this case, the plurality of first supports 171 are extended and bent downward along the edge of the first support plate 170 .

In addition, the first fixing piece 172 is extended and bent from the lower ends of the plurality of first supports 171 and is detachably fixed by some of the plurality of bolts 331 .

Also, the first communication hole 173 is penetrated through each of the first fixing pieces 172 and the bolt 331 is penetrated therethrough.

In addition, it may be further provided with a first tool entry cutout 161 that is cut upwardly from the lower end edge of the body 160 to allow entry and exit of the tool 400 for opening.

Meanwhile, the lower support member may include a second support plate 190 having an upper surface on which the rotation support rail 195 is formed, as shown in FIG. 4 .

In addition, the lower support member may include a plate-shaped body 180 having a lower surface on which a rotation rail 181 engaged with the rotation support rail 195 is formed, and an upper surface on which an open nipple 130 is disposed. .

In addition, the lower support may include an intermediate through-hole 194 that is penetrated through the second support plate 190 to allow the opening spigot 302 to pass through.

In addition, the lower support member may include a plurality of second supports 191 extending and bending downward along the edge of the second support plate 190 .

In addition, the lower support member may include a second fixing piece 192 that is extended and bent from the lower ends of the plurality of second supports 191 and is detachably fixed by some of the plurality of bolts 331 .

In addition, the lower support member may include a second communication hole 193 through which the bolt 331 passes through each of the second fixing pieces 192 .

Here, the opening tool 400 can be entered and exited through the second tool entry cutout 211 formed by cutting upward from the lower end edge of the cylindrical marker 210 with an open lower surface and a closed upper surface. will be.

On the other hand, the present invention further includes a folding wing 250 serving as an opening tool 400 on the cover 210 itself as shown in FIG. 5 , and rotating the folding wing 250 from the cover 210 An embodiment that serves as a handle of the tool 400 for opening for opening the opening spigot 302 may be applied.

That is, in order to perform the role of the handle, an open nipple 130 formed in the center of the upper surface may be provided on the upper surface, and a seating plate 185 to which the lower edge of the indicator 210 is seated and fixed may be further provided.

Here, it is possible to consider the marker 210 having a cylindrical shape that is seated on the seating plate 185 and has an open lower surface and a closed upper surface.

The receiving slots 212 are cut and formed on both sides of the upper surface and both sides of the outer circumferential surface of the mark 210 .

At this time, the pivoting pieces 251 are respectively provided rotatably by hinges 252 on both sides of the outer surface of the opening nipple 130, respectively.

The folded wing 250 is extended from one side of the pivoting piece 251 and accommodated in the receiving slot 212 or spread from both sides of the outer peripheral surface of the cover member 210 to be disposed on a straight line.

In other words, when it is necessary to waterproof the fire extinguishing water from the water outlet 301, the operator ① rotates the folded wing 250 from the storage slot 212 and unfolds it, ② grasps the folded wing 250 with both hands and turns clockwise Alternatively, by turning it counterclockwise, the opening faucet 302 will be opened and the fire extinguishing water will be waterproofed.

Hereinafter, the operation and effect of the hydrant assembly according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be examined as follows.

First, according to the present invention, the visibility of the fire hydrant 300 may be improved by utilizing the indicator 210 of various types.

In addition, according to the present invention, by using such a sign 210, it is also possible to eradicate the illegal parking and stopping problem by increasing the visual recognition.

In addition, according to the present invention, it will be possible to enhance the aesthetics of the city by using the signage 210 of various types and to create a unique street for each city.

Above all, the present invention will be able to significantly reduce the risk of safety accidents of pedestrians or drivers through these various types of signs 210 .

In addition, the present invention will be able to minimize by blocking in advance frequent civil complaints or disputes that may occur when installing various signs.

In addition, the present invention will be able to improve the convenience of administrative disposition by blocking in advance friction caused by the imposition of fines for illegally parked vehicles through various types of signs 210 .

And, the present invention has the effect that it is possible to secure a strong structure that maintains durability against wind pressure during typhoon by applying the main body 120, 160, 180 of various structures, but adopting the main body 120 of the structure allowing ventilation.

In addition, according to the present invention, by applying the shape of the sign 210 that does not occupy a large amount of space, it will also be possible to remove obstacles when the vehicle is reversing or moving.

In addition, the present invention has the advantage that since the sign 210 can be directly installed on the fire hydrant 300, the sign installation cost and labor cost can be significantly reduced.

In addition, since the present invention has a structure in which the open nipple covers the open nipple of the fire hydrant 300 and the body 160 once more covers the fire hydrant 300 , the maintenance cost of the fire hydrant 300 can be minimized and the life span of the fire hydrant 300 can be increased. have

As described above, it can be seen that the basic technical idea of the present invention is to provide a fire hydrant assembly that allows pedestrians or drivers to increase the visibility of the fire hydrant and to easily waterproof the fire water in case of an emergency.
