Patent number: 11311758Abstract: The invention is a device for extinguishing a fire, the device comprises a pad adapted to be configured in various shapes and sizes and having a body or core filled with free-flowing expanded glass granulate having fire extinguishing properties, the body or core is compartmentalized to separately contain the free flowing granulate within defined regions, the body or core is formed from a sacrificial material that disintegrates upon exposure to heat whereby the free-flowing expanded glass granulate contained in the body or core is released onto the fire or source of heat to extinguish it. In one embodiment the device includes a fire resistant cover member. In another embodiment one side or face of the device is provided with a fire resistant layer or barrier so that only the opposite side or face of the device will disintegrate.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2019Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: CELLBLOCK FCS, LLCInventors: Dylan Francis Vandemark, Matthew Lloyd Vandemark
