Patent number: 9656107Abstract: A trigger unit (1) for triggering an extinguishing-agent flow in the direction of a fire zone, connected to an energy supply, having a first actuating device (3) that can be switched between a release position in which the energy supply is released, and an interruption position in which the energy supply is interrupted, a second actuating device (5) that can be switched between a release position in which the extinguishing-agent flow is released, and a rest position, a coupling unit (7) that can be moved between an operating position and an extinguishing position and permanently couples together the switching of the first actuating device (3) and the second actuating device (5). A tensioning element is connected in a force-transmitting manner to the coupling unit (7) in such a manner that a change in the tensioning state of the tensioning element always results in a movement of the coupling unit (7).Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2015Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: Minimax GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 9004189Abstract: A protective device with a pressure tank (1) includes an elastic extinguishing agent balloon (3) filled with an extinguishing agent (23) and a propellant, where the elastic extinguishing agent balloon (3) borders onto at least one elastic component (32) and this elastic component is fluid permeable. The upper part of the elastic extinguishing agent balloon (3) is formed as a sealing ring. The device has the advantage that when it is used in mobile and stationary objects, where vibrations and other forces act on the extinguishing device, a high degree of operational safety of the extinguishing device can be assumed, that makes it possible to discharge almost 100 percent of the extinguishing agent without any malfunctioning. The operation of the extinguishing device is also temperature independent so that no additional safety measures are required in the case of a change in the spatial attitude of the pressure tank.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2012Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Minimax GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 8910504Abstract: A device for compensating a filling level (34) in a pressure vessel (1) for an extinguishing agent, includes an extinguishing line (32), a propellant-gas line (37) supplied with propellant gas (31), and an adapter (3) on a threaded socket of the pressure vessel (1). A compensation tank (30) is in communication with the pressure vessel and a shut-off member (9) is arranged between the compensation tank (30) and the pressure vessel (1). The shut-off member is closed automatically to isolate the compensation tank from the pressure vessel when a propellant is applied to the pressure vessel so that the extinguishing agent can be stored without pressure in the extinguishing-agent vessel and can be monitored using a simple device.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2012Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Minimax GmbH & Co.
