  • Patent number: 5119878
    Abstract: The present invention is directed toward an automobile fire extinguishing device that is applicable to all modes of transportation. The present invention retains a volume of pressurized fire retarding material which is kept within the container by a trigger cap that suspends a weight within a larger tubing juncture enclosure. As the invention experiences an abnormal acceleration force from a collision, the interia of the suspended weight breaks the trigger cap and releases the fire retarding material into the tubing juncture enclosure. The tubing juncture enclosure routes the fire retarding material into a plurality of tubes that extend to various potential fire sites. Similarly, the part of the trigger cap that suspends the weight is sensitive to heat. If an abnormally high heat is incurred, the weight will buckle the cap releasing the fire retarding material.
