Fire fighting fan with three point support

摘要

A portable, positive pressure fan for fire fighting provides a three-leg frame with a platform supporting the fan and its driving engine. The platform carries two forward, laterally spaced collars and one rearward collar to adjustably receive the three legs for support spacedly above a supporting surface. The legs are adjustably positionable in the collars to allow vertical adjustment to regulate fan height and angulation relative to a supporting surface, have an arcuate configuration and are somewhat resilient to absorb and damp operative forces, and the leg array alleviates or negates walking of the structure on a supporting surface caused by vibrations resulting from operational forces. The fan has a blade with diametrically opposed lobes of the aircraft propeller type to create a narrow cone of pressurized air and preserve as great a volume and velocity of such air as possible at ordinary operating distances.
