The locking mechanism controls the loop's ability to expand in size, such as through a positive locking force or establishes a safety factor with respect to the size of the loop needed to slip over the knot, or both.

  • Method for extinguishing fire
    Publication number: 20030079890
    Abstract: Method of extinguishing fire: A vacuum is used to remove one of three elements from the burning flames. Fire cannot be maintained without fuel, heat and air. Combustible materials such as wood, paper, fabric, coal and flammable liquids—all of these substances require oxygen in order for them to burn. A vacuum is applied using maximum suction capability and simultaneously exhausting the oxygen and air from the burning flames.
