FIRE-ANNIHILATOR.

SPEGIFICATIQN'forming part of Letters liatent No. 252,678, dated January 24, 1882.

Application filed November 7,1881. (*0 lnodtl.) I

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ISIDOR KITSEE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Fire-Annihilators, of which the fol: lowing is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in tireann'ihilators; and it consists of devices for holding in reserve magazines of chemicals, which are ejected therefrom by the melting of fusible retaining-connections into a common receptaole, and which therein commlngle by natural atfinity into gas or vapor, which escapes through suitable eduction pipes or valves.

I have found by experience that the gases or 'apors in general use for the purpose of extinguishing fires, when prepared and kept for use for any length of time in a completed condition, become liable to deteriorate, and that by keepingthe several constituent chemical elements that compose such gases or vapors in separate chambers, and then com mi n gli n g them when required for use, the gases and vapors thus evolved are purer and more effective for the purposes intended.

' The object of my invention is to obviate the defects herein pointed out of keeping fire-annihilating gases or vapors always prepared in a completed condition; and in order to carry out my invention, 1 provide suitable mechanical devices, which, when brought into action, empty the several constituent elements of fireannihilating material into a common receptacle, where they combine and form the required vapor or gas, the several chemicals being released from their separate chambers or compartments by the melting of fusible connections, and therefrom discharged into a com mon receptacle, wherein they commingle and combine by natural ,atiinity and produce a re quired gas or vapor.

For the purpose ot illustrating my invention and the manner in which it may be used and operated, reference is bad to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

Ido not desire to limit myself to the mechanical devices shown in the drawings, as it is manifest that any devire that will release separate suitable chemical ingredients and eject them in to a common reservoir, wherein, being brought together, they will combine and form tire-annihilating gases, vapors, or fluids, can be used without departing from-the scope of my invention.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a deby fusible wires (1 d, or wires which may be re-.

tained by fusiblejoints d d. 7

'Instead of the suspensory wires, the cylinder may be kept in position by means of fusible keys or caps, as illustrated at 01 Fig. 1, or any suitable fusible connection.

B is a reservoiror generating-chambe r,which may contain any fluid or 1 ecessary ingredient thatnill combine with tile ingredients contained in the compartments a a. Springing from the generator B are two or more vertical spouts, 0, open at each end, the upper openings of which are closed by the cylinder A, which rests thereon.

The generator B is provided with ednctions B B which may be entirely open, as shown inFig. 2, or may be closed by easily-fusible diaphragms 12 or have rose-caps b In lieu of the eduction ends B B or in addition thereto, pipes I) may extend from the generator and be led therefrom and branch out into any part of the building.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of Fig. 1. Fig.3 is a sectional view thereof. Fig. 4 represents parts in detail.

Theo 'terationofmydeviceisobvious. When the chemicals are emptied from their separate apartments into a. common receptacle they therein combine and compose the fire-annihilating gas or vapor,which passes out through suitable conduits and is evolved into the rooms of a building. As, for instance, suppose compartment a should contain sulphuric acid and compartment a should contain lime, by rupture ot' the fusible connection (I dthe cylinder A would partially rotate, the traps or doors A would strike against the spouts G and auto matically open, discharging the contentsof the compartments into the generator B, from whence the fire-annihilating compound generated by contact of the chemicals would pass through the eduction ends or pipes.

Connected with the operative parts may be combined any form of annunciators, electric armatures, or fire-alarms, or water-connections.

What I claim is- 1. In a gas or "aporfire-annihilator, a mag azinc adapted to contain chemical ingredients in separation, held in position by fusible connections the rupture of which brings said chemicalsiu to contact, in combination with areceiving-gencrator, substantially as described.

2. In a fire-annihilator, the combination of a recciring-generator having suitable induced with suitable receiving-conduits and educo tion-openings, substantially as described.
