  • Patent number: 5018586
    Abstract: A fire suppression system for a decorative tree, such as a Christmas tree, of the present invention wherein, disguised, for example, as a Christmas gift or incorporated as an integral part of the stand for the tree itself, there is provided a canister with a dry, substantially inert chemical, such as Halon, or similar fire suppressant substance, is disclosed. The fire suppressant substance is forced, e.g., by the application of pressure, when a heater smoke-sensitive sensor, released by a solenoid valve, is used to project the dispersant through a tubular plenum to a dispersant nozzle contained within, or as an integral part of, an ornament, e.g., a star, atop of the decorative tree. The flow of the fire suppressant fluid is preferably directed outward from a plurality of oval-shaped holes, preferably at least four such oval-shaped holes, which encircle a cylinder-type nozzle so as to provide dispersant to all directions surrounding the tree.
