Device for extinguishing fires

摘要

A fire-extinguishing device of the type integrated into an aircraft, is for the controlled transportation and evacuation of fire-fighting material and may be activated from the aircraft while it is in flight, onto the area which is on fire. The fire-extinguishing device comprises at least one closed independent receptacle (3) filled with the fire-fighting material, housed within a container, which is fastened to the aircraft, which includes at least one collapsible outlet hatch for the at least one closed independent receptacle (3) and which, upon opening, frees the gravitational fall of the fire-fighting material. The at least one closed independent receptacle (3) has a built-in fill valve, with an anti-drainback mechanism which guarantees that the at least one closed independent receptacle (3) is leak tight. The built-in fill valve can be accessed through the at least one collapsible outlet hatch.

主权项

1. A fire-extinguishing device for integration into an aircraft, for housing a fire-fighting material to put fire out via activation from the aircraft in flight, giving rise to the fire-fighting material falling towards a seat of the fire, the fire-extinguishing device comprising:
a container (1, 2); and at least one closed independent receptacle (3), housed within the container (1, 2), the container (1, 2) including at least one collapsible outlet hatch (11, 14) for the at least one closed independent receptacle (3) and an opening of which allows a fall of the at least one closed independent receptacle (3) loaded/filled with the fire-fighting material; wherein: the at least one closed independent receptacle (3) has a built-in fill valve (4) that is hermetically sealed once the at least one closed receptacle (3) has been filled; and the container (1, 2) has at least one built-in access hatch (10) arranged in such a way that the at least one built-in access hatch (10) corresponds with the built-in fill valve (4) of the at least one closed independent receptacle (3), in order to facilitate filling of the at least one closed independent receptacle (3) located within the container (1, 2).
