Definitions

• the invention relates to a hand-held fire extinguisher with an extinguishing agent container, which has a threaded neck on its top with a valve device held thereon by means of a union nut. Furthermore, a handle with a handle is arranged protruding from the top of the extinguishing agent container.
• the handle is either in one piece with a plastic housing covering the valve device, or, in the case of heavier versions, it is arranged as a metal bracket on the valve body of the valve device, which is also made of metal, in the latter case also as a swivel bracket Valve body can be hinged to act as a release lever for the valve device at the same time.
• the invention has for its object to provide a hand-held fire extinguisher of the type mentioned, in which the handle is independent of the valve device and can be easily assembled during assembly of the fire extinguisher.
• a fastening ring is integrally formed on the handle on the side next to the handle, which is arranged on the threaded neck of the extinguishing agent container between its top plate and the union nut and braced against the top plate by means of the union nut is.
• the bracing between the union nut and the top of the extinguishing agent container means that the fastening ring of the handle is not only axi aler direction of the threaded neck secured but also held against rotation in its circumferential direction.
• the handle is aligned so that it does not interfere in the standby position or in the use position of the handheld fire extinguisher. This is particularly important if a trigger tab is provided to unlock the valve device of the fire extinguisher.
• the handle is allowed to protrude from the threaded neck of the extinguishing agent container in the direction perpendicular to the direction of withdrawal of the pull tab.
• the handle is an injection molded plastic part which has a closed upper side with a seat for the union nut in the area of the fastening ring.
• the fastening ring or the entire handle is designed as an open hollow body which is reinforced by stiffening ribs which are seated in the area of the fastening ring on the top floor of the extinguishing agent container.
• the handle of the handle is designed in the form of a ring eyelet and closed. It has an oval shape, on one long side of which the fastening ring is firmly attached in the transverse direction.
• the ring plane of the handle is slightly inclined to the ring plane of the fastening ring by an obtuse angle close to 180 °.
• the drawing shows a perspective view of the upper section of a hand-held fire extinguisher with a partially cut view of the threaded neck on the extinguishing agent container and the components attached to it.
• an extinguishing agent container 1 closes with an upper base 2, which merges in the axial direction of the extinguishing agent container 1 into a threaded neck 3 with an external thread.
• a union nut 4 is screwed, by means of which a valve device 5 is held, to which a pressure medium bottle 13 is connected in the interior of the extinguishing agent container 1 and a striking button 14 on the outside, which is secured by an undercut trigger plate 12 against unintentional actuation.
• the hand-held fire extinguisher also has a handle 6 attached to the threaded neck 3 at the upper end of the extinguishing agent container 1, which comprises a handle 7 projecting radially from the threaded neck 3 and a fastening ring 8 placed on the threaded neck 3.
• the fastening ring 8 is arranged between the union nut 4 and the top floor 2 of the extinguishing agent container 1 and has such a ring thickness or height that it can be clamped between the union nut 4 and the top floor 2.
• the fastening ring 8 of the handle 6 is first placed in the axial direction on the threaded neck 3 of the extinguishing agent container 1, after which the valve device 5 is mounted and secured with the union nut 4. Before the union nut 4 is tightened firmly, the handle 6 can be aligned by rotating the fastening ring 8 around the threaded neck 3. This is done with special consideration of the pulling direction of the pull tab 12, to which the handle 6 is offset by 90 °. is arranged. In this position of the handle 6, the union nut 4 is tightened, the fastening ring 8 of the handle 6 being frictionally firmly clamped against the upper floor 2 of the extinguishing agent container 1.
• the union nut 4 is seated on a seat surface 10 of the fastening ring 8, which is formed by a smooth, closed top 9 of the fastening ring 8 or an annular surface recessed relative to the top 9.
• This smooth upper side 9 extends over a curvature up to the connection to the upper bottom 2.
• both the fastening ring 8 and the handle 7 of the handle 6 form a NEN hollow body, which is reinforced by stiffening ribs 11. With these ribs, the fastening ring 8 sits on the top floor 2 of the extinguishing agent container 1.
• the handle 7 of the handle 6 has an elongated oval shape with an outer longitudinal section 15 which extends in a straight direction and to which two curved sections 16 adjoin.
• the outer straight section 15 is opposite an inner section 17 of the handle 6, which integrally merges into the mounting ring 8.
• the entire handle 6 with the handle 7 and the mounting ring 8 is a plastic injection molded part.
• the annular handle 7 is tilted somewhat upwards, that is to say in the direction away from the top floor 2 of the extinguishing agent container 1. This is due to the fact that there is an obtuse angle between the ring plane of the handle 7 and the ring plane of the fastening ring 8 of the handle 6, which angle is close to 180 °.
