Abstract: A water seat is provided for use in a fire suppression sprinkler. The water seat is movable between an inactive position and an active position. The water seat includes a generally polygonal guiding surface in limited contact with the sprinkler. The water seat is slidable relative to the sprinkler when corrosion residue is present within the sprinkler. A sealing surface is positioned adjacent the polygonal guiding surface and forms a line contact seal at an interface with the sprinkler when the water seat is in an active position. The water seat also includes a guiding portion adjacent the sealing surface and opposite the polygonal guiding surface. The combination of the guiding surface and the guiding portion maintain a generally parallel orientation of the water seat relative to the sprinkler when the water seat moves from an inactive position to an active position.

Abstract: A spray head (1), comprising a fastening body (2), a spray head body (3) with at least one nozzle (4) and a thermally activated triggering device (5), said spray head body (3) being arranged into fastening body (2), in its cylinder space (21) to be movable between two positions, the first position, in which spray head is in the inactive state, and the second position, in which the spray head body is extended out, said spray head body (3) being arranged to be movable through the effect of pressurized medium in relation to fastening body (2) from the first position to the second position. A retaining arrangement (18, 19, 20) has been arranged between spray head body (3) and fastening body (2), adapted to keep spray head body (3) in the first position, until the pressure of the medium exceeds a preset value.

Abstract: Method for monitoring the amount of liquid of an extinguishing liquid container (1) of a fire-fighting apparatus. The extinguishing liquid container (1) is filled with extinguishing liquid such that a predefined volume (6) remains unfilled, the extinguishing liquid container is pressurized with a gas, e.g.

Abstract: Method for joining the extinguishing system of a mobile unit (1), such as of a vehicle, a carriage connected to a vehicle, a railway vehicle or its carriage, such as a train or train carriage, to an external medium source, in which method a connecting part (7) is arranged in the extinguishing system of the mobile unit, and a counterpart (71) is outside the mobile unit, which parts are connected to each other. The counterpart (71) is arranged in a movable means (70), which is moved between at least one first position, a standby position, and one second position, a connection position, in which case the coupling is automatically formed between the connecting part (7) and the counterpart (71).
