Definitions
- the present invention relates to a spraying apparatus as defined in the preamble of claim 1, designed especially for fire-fighting, said apparatus comprising at least one spray head and a holder in which the spray head can be moved between at least two positions, the spray head being in a retracted position when in an inactive state while in an active state at least one of the nozzles of the spray head is above the edges of the holder.
- EP 594717 discloses a fire-fighting apparatus employing spray heads that are mounted in the floor and spring up when acti- vated. These have proved to be very effective and functional.
- EP 594717 comprises a spray head holder embedded in a floor. Also US 1,837322 and US 6,182,767 show at least partly embedded spray head structures.
- Another object of the invention is to achieve a spray head whose nozzles, which may be arranged in an asymmetric manner, can be directed and held directed in a desired radial direction.
- the invention is based on an idea according to which the spray heads are disposed in a surface-mounted structural part that also provides a space for the required pipes for a fire-fighting medium.
- the apparatus of the invention is mainly characterized in that the spray head is disposed in a surface-mounted structural part, which comprises at least one spray head holder and means for supplying a medium to be sprayed, such as an extinguishing medium, to the spray head.
- the apparatus of the invention is additionally characterized by what is presented in claims 2 - 8.
- the system of the invention has many significant advantages. Disposing the spray heads in a surface-mounted structural part makes it considerably easier to install spraying equipment, such as e.g. fire-fighting systems mounted in the floor, and allows the system to be installed on finished floor, wall and ceiling surfaces without embedded structures. By providing the structural part with at least one surface extending obliquely outward from the mounting plane, it will be possible to install a floor-mounted device on a passageway, so that vehicles can pass over it.
- the solution of the invention is suited for installation in a wide variety of places. Typical places of installation are e.g. the floors of spaces intended for the storage, maintenance and testing of aircraft, such as hangars.

- Fig. 2 presents the apparatus of the invention, sectioned along line II - II in Fig. 1,
- Fig. 3 presents the apparatus of the invention, sectioned along line III - III in Fig. 1, with the spray head in an activated state,
- Fig. 4 presents the apparatus of Fig. 3 with the spray head in a non- activated state
- Fig. 5 presents the apparatus of the invention, sectioned along line V - V in Fig. 1. Detailed description of the invention
- the figures present a spraying apparatus according to the invention.
- the apparatus comprises a spray head 1, which is mounted in a holder 2 so as to be movable between at least two positions.
- the holder 2 again is placed in a structural part 7.
- the holder 2 may be integrated with the structural part 7 or it may be a part attached to it with fastening elements.
- the structural part 7 of the apparatus is provided with at least one spray head 1 and means 8, such as a tube element, for sup- plying a spraying medium, e.g. a liquid or a mixture of a liquid and a gas, preferably an extinguishing medium, to the spray head 1.
- the spray head 1 comprises at least one nozzle 3, disposed in the frame part 4 of the spray head.
- the frame part 4 is provided with at least one channel part 5, into which the extinguishing medium is passed via a supply orifice 6.
- the extinguishing medium is passed into the chamber space of the holder 2 via a tube element 8.
- the spray head is switched from a non-activated state into an activated state by the action of the pressure of the spraying medium, e.g. as a result of a triggering of the fire-fighting system.
- This basic function of the spray head is in itself known e.g. from specification EP 594717 and it will not be described here in detail.
- the spray head of an embodiment of the invention is very well suited for spraying a medium under high pressure.
- the pressure in the piping is typically over 30 bar, preferably over 50 bar, most preferably over 75 bar.
- the spraying apparatus of the invention thus comprises at least one spray head 1 and a holder 2, in which the spray head can be moved between at least two positions, the spray head being in a retracted position when in the non-active state while in the active state at least one 3 of the nozzles of the spray head is above the edges of the holder.
- the apparatus has a base part 7, preferably a structural part, which is mounted on the surface S, and in its retracted position (or in both positions) the spray head does not extend below the base part (or intersect the plane of the base).
- the spray head 1 is placed in the base part 7, which comprises at least one spray head holder 2 and a connecting element 8 for the supply of extinguishing medium into the spray head.
- the holder 2 comprises a chamber space 14, in which the spray head is movable. In Fig. 3, the spray head is shown in an active position and in Fig. 4 in a non-active position.
- At least one wall 72 of the structural part 7 extending outward from the mounting surface 71 is sloping.
- the at least one wall 72 forms a certain proportion of the vertical height of the structural part and is inclined at an angle, typically between 10 - 60 degrees, with respect to the mounting surface.
- the sloping edge parts 72, 72 allow a vehicle to pass easily over the spraying module of the invention.
- the solution of the invention in which the tube 8 for an extinguishing medium is laid substantially horizontally in the structural part and connected to the spray head holder 2 from a lateral direction, allows the apparatus to be implemented as a very low and compact structure.
- the sectioned view in Fig. 5 presents a preferred cross- section of the structural part according to the invention.
- the structural part 7 is fixed to a base, such as a floor, using fastening elements, via holes 75 formed in the structural part.
- the holder 2 disposed in the structural part is provided with at least one guide element 9, and the spray head 1 is provided with at least one counterface 10 matching the guide element to keep the spray head in a desired orientation, at least in the non-activated position.
- the guide element 9 and at least one counterface 10 of the spray head are de- signed to be mutually fitting in several different positions of the spray head 1 so that the nozzle can be directed in a desired radial direction.
- At least one guide element 9 is disposed symmetrically relative to the center axis 12 of the spray head 1.
- the cross-section of the guide element 9 in a plane perpendicular to the center axis 12 is a polygon.
- the spray head can be directed in at least three radial directions relative to the center axis 12, preferably in steps of 120 degrees.
- the spray head can be di- rected in at least six different directions, preferably in steps of 60 degrees.
- the guide element could consist of e.g. a toothing formed in the lower part of the spray head and fitting to a counter-toothing formed in the holder. It is obvious to a person skilled in the art that the guide element and the counterface may be interchangeable, i.e. the guide element may be part of the spray head and the counterface correspondingly provided in the holder.
- the upper surface 11 of the spray head 1 is substantially flush with the upper surface 73 of the structural part.
- the upper surface of the structural part 7 and the upper surface 11 of the spray head form a substantially even and continuous surface, which forms no obstacle to the movement of vehicles and is also easy to keep clean.
- the nozzles 3 of the spray head are preferably located on a lateral surface 13 of the spray head, being thus protected against possible fouling when in the non-active state.
- the apparatus of the invention typically comprises a number of modules comprising at least one spray head and one structural part, said modules being preferably designed to be connected together in tandem.
