  • Patent number: 9827453
    Abstract: A container holding a fire suppressing powder has a top, a cylindrical sidewall and a bottom with a hole, the bottom having a score line defining a segment. An explosive material housing containing an explosive material is mounted to a head of a mounting member. The mounting member has a lower portion smaller in cross-sectional dimension than the head, depending downward from the head and extending through the hole in the bottom. A retainer is secured around the lower portion of the mounting member below the bottom to secure the mounting member to the bottom. A fuse extends through the hole in the bottom, a passage in the mounting member, and into the explosive material housing. A plate is mounted within the container a selected distance below the top, the plate being movable a short distance toward and away from the top in response to ignition of the explosive material.

  • Patent number: 9440101
    Abstract: A fire extinguisher apparatus and related system is described for automatically suppressing stovetop fires. The fire extinguisher apparatus includes a canister restrained in a first location where the canister is operable to suppress fires on a rear burner of a stovetop. The canister is biased and movable to a second location where the canister is operable to suppress fires on a front burner of the stovetop. A trigger mechanism is provided for automatically moving the canister to the second location in response to a fire on the front burner. The fire extinguisher system includes an arrangement of fire extinguisher apparatuses wherein canisters are movable between the apparatuses to prevent collisions with external obstacles.
