  • Patent number: 9227096
    Abstract: A fire suppression device includes a container body having a discharge orifice. A cooling assembly is coupled along an inner wall of the container body and includes a cooling housing body and an agent cup seat. An agent assembly coupled along the inner wall includes an agent cup with a fire suppression agent generator therein. An agent cup fitting is near an end of the agent cup and is coupled with the agent cup seat. Spacing members extend between the inner wall and at least one of the cooling housing body and the agent cup. The plurality of spacing members space the cooling housing body and the agent cup from the inner wall. An insulation layer is coupled between the inner wall and the plurality of spacing members, and a portion of the insulation layer is clamped between the spacing members and the inner wall.

  • Patent number: 8146675
    Abstract: A fire suppression device including a fire suppression agent generator. The device further includes trigger mechanism adapted to begin generation of the fire suppression agent from the fire suppression agent generator. A container at least partially surrounds the fire suppression agent generator and the trigger mechanism, the container includes a discharge port that directs fire suppression agent in at least two opposed directions. In one example, the discharge port extends substantially around a perimeter of the container.

  • Patent number: 7614458
    Abstract: An ignition unit for a fire extinguishing assembly has an ignition unit housing with a firing pin disposed within the housing. A spring is coupled to the firing pin, and a restraining device holds the pin in place in the housing. A formed eutectic holds the restraining device in place such that when the eutectic deforms, the firing pin is released and moved by the spring in a desired direction.

  • Patent number: 7461701
    Abstract: A fire retarding canister has a housing with aerosol exit ports. A cooling material is supported within the housing above the exit ports. A combustion chamber within the housing is above the cooling material. An aerosol forming composition is supported within the housing above the combustion chamber. An ignition mix extends into the aerosol forming composition for igniting the aerosol forming composition.

  • Patent number: 7389825
    Abstract: A fire extinguishing assembly includes an ignition unit and an aerosol generating unit. The ignition unit in one embodiment comprises a spring loaded piston that is held under spring tension by a formed eutectic, which deforms at a predetermined temperature. When such temperature is reached, the piston is released, and strikes a primer to ignite a desired pyrotechnic in the aerosol generating unit. In one embodiment, the piston strikes a primer, which ignites an ignition mix, which further ignites the pyrotechnic. The ignition mix may be formed of the same material as the pyrotechnic. The ignition unit may be releasably engaged with the aerosol generating unit that contains the pyrotechnic. In one embodiment, it is formed with threads for mating with threads on the canister.
