The operation of portable fire extinguishers of this general class is so well understood as t0 require little description. Chamber 2i is charged with a suitable fluid chemical, for instance tetrachlorid, and chamber 4. is
charged. through inlet 13 with air under suitable pressure. When the extinguisher is to be put into service, valve 1.2 is opened thereby admitting conmressed air to the top of thefluid body in chamber El and .forcing the fluid out through tube 7 .inclination of the extinguisher body in any direction causes the discharge end of tube 7 to move to the lowermost part of chamber 3 and thus insure complete draining of its contents. If
through long standing the air pressure in chamber 4 becomes depleted7 or .if from any cause it is insuflicient to discharge all of the chemical. in an ellicient manner, the proie-:nrc may be .immediately rcpleniehed by the Iir pump. Also, the pump is available for relenishing the air I ressurc at ,intei'wils if 1t is desired to taire the precaution to maintain the extinguisher in a fully e'flicicnt con dition regardless of lapse of time, this with- 80 out removing it from thc position or station Where it is kept ready -fior use.
