Apparatus and method for extinguishing fires in a multi-floored building

摘要

An improved apparatus for treating a fire in a multi-floored building where the fire is located on an upper floor vertically displaced from a lower floor from which the fire is treated, and where the upper and lower floors each have a selectively openable environmental access along an external wall of the multi-floored building. The improved apparatus includes a tubular structure having an inlet, an intermediate portion, and an outlet and a bracing system. The bracing system has a frame, a first pivot point, and a second pivot point. The frame provides support against a sturdy surface. The tubular structure is supported on the first pivot point and rotates thereon to elevate or hoist the outlet towards the upper floor environmental access. The tubular structure is further supported on a second pivot point and further rotates thereon to elevate the outlet.

1. An apparatus for treating a fire in a multi-floored building, the fire located on an upper floor vertically displaced from a lower floor from which the fire is treated, the upper and lower floors each having a selectively openable environmental access along an external wall of the multi-floored building, the apparatus comprising:
a tubular structure having an inlet, an intermediate portion, and an outlet; and a bracing system attached to the tubular structure comprising:
a frame attachable to a portion of the multi-floored building and extendable from a lower floor environmental access;a first pivot point upon which said tubular structure is supported and rotates thereon to elevate said outlet wherein said first pivot point is a fixed pivot point upon which said tubular structure is further supported and rotates thereon to elevate said outlet; anda second pivot point wherein said second pivot point is a displaceable pivot point supported by the frame upon which said tubular structure is supported and rotates thereon to elevate said outlet, said displaceable pivot point having a first position on said frame and displaceable to a second position on said frame.
