  • Patent number: 10537759
    Abstract: A fire extinguisher apparatus that consists on a loading lever network that gets built in the transport equipment allowing manipulation of the device that is directly introduced to the fire to compress it and by this, stopping the combustion process. Simultaneously, the said extinguishing apparatus will inject a series of substances over the flames, drastically reducing temperature of the fire zone, avoiding reignition when the device collapses on the different interventions these have. The Main Lever of such network is originally built in to the transport equipment and one end will branch different tips which will form a net of smaller lever which will hang the TFI device. A tension cable will go across the upper part of the Main lever to bring more resistance and provide much more strength by preventing arcing of the lever when handling very heavy loads.

  • Publication number: 20190206249
    Abstract: A screen device installed inside vehicles and trucks, which can be used for many ways of communication. It is comprised of a set of small screens, buttons, speakers and a microphone, which can be used to broadcast a series of signals and alerts between authorities and drivers. The screen device will be connected to a satellite network and all signals coming out of a vehicle will include location coordinates thus giving all receivers the ability to calculate the distance from the broadcasting device. Radio Frequency will be used as the main wireless communication channel since it does not depend on a network to be available and transmitted. At least two collision detection devices will be installed on vehicles and trucks, which will automatically trigger a collision alarm to other drivers, thus preventing further accidents. A variety of buttons will be used to establish communication and information between driver and authorities or other drivers in order to alert each other of emergency events.

  • Patent number: 9174074
    Abstract: A fire extinguishing apparatus comprising of a metal dome, a deformable cylindrical section that can store a volume of gas, and a plurality of hanging canvases, around its perimeter as well as internally. Said volume of gas is the by-product of combustion, which is captured once the apparatus is place over and encapsulates the fire. As the apparatus is lowered onto the fire, the perimeter canvases form a seal, limiting the amount of oxygen inside the volume. As the fire consumes this limited amount of oxygen, the toxic gases produced are stored in its chamber, the apparatus continues being lowered onto the fire were the compression canvases compact the fire flames, extinguishing them. Furthermore, as the device continues to be lowered even further, the deformable cylindrical section begins to displace its stored volume of gases on to the encapsulated fire, displacing any remaining oxygen and stopping the combustion process.

  • Patent number: 8118108
    Abstract: A fire extinguishing apparatus in which one embodiment comprises of a dome lengthening into an extendable and flexible cylinder which contains a device that can adapt and form a seal with the surface as it is lowered, by means of a lifting device, on to a fire below, encapsulating said fire and extinguishing it by striving it of oxygen. The apparatus can be stretched or collapsed by means of installed winches, to accommodate different sizes of burning materials and to facilitate transportation.

  • Publication number: 20020033172
    Abstract: A combination of a table bar, grill and cooler all blended together in a single apparatus. The grill (19) is equipped to work with either a gas burner or charcoal, and comes equipped with a lid. A container for use with ice is provided to work as a cooler (23) where drinks may be placed for chilling. A wine rack (17) and gas tank (35) compartment is provided as well as a storage area with service door (16). Additionally two umbrella holders (14, 15) are place on either side to allow the use of umbrella shades. Adjustable legs (27) are provided for leveling the apparatus with the floor. It is composed of five major elements: grill section, cooler section and the three tabletops and it is assembled using only 11 bolts. A variety of aesthetic designs and finishes can be incorporated in the faceplates to create a unique presentation.
