<p>FIRE-FIGHTING APPARATUS A fire-fighting apparatus comprising a cabinet having a door affording access to a water hose, operating valve and fire extinguisher. The cabinet is divided into three compartments, the first containing a fire hose, the second a valve assembly connected to the fire hose, and the third a chemical extinguisher. A cover plate is hingedly mounted to overlie the valve assembly, and more particularly the operating handle. The cover plate is spring urged to uncover the handle; however, it is engaged by the fire hose when in its compartment to hold the cover plate in overlying relation to the handle. Thus, unless the fire hose is withdrawn from its compartment, the cover plate overlies the handle and serves as a safeguard against operation of the handle while the fire hose is still in the compartment. An electrical switch is activated upon operation of the handle. The switch may be connected to any suitable alarm device which is activated when the water valve is turned "on".</p> |
