Abstract
Description
[0001] The present invention relates to a Fire Box equipped with a swinging door.
[0002] As is known, inside them, the fire boxes for hydrants include a shut-off valve connected to the water network to the outlet of which is connected a fire hose to which in turn a final water delivery fire nozzle is connected.Technical Problem
[0003] These elements are never arranged neatly, requiring, in the event of a fire, a longer time for their maneuverability given that the hose, wound in a spiral with an attached delivery nozzle, must be deployed and in turn freed from tangles.
[0004] This method of use in the event of fire is not efficient as it requires excessively long times for its maneuverability in the event that the use is followed by nonexpert people.Solution Problem
[0005] The aim of the present invention is to create a fire protection box which eliminates the operations, in case of fire, of deploy the fire hose and assembling it with the dispensing fire nozzle, given that they are already positioned and ready for utilization. With the present invention it is intended to create a fire protection box comprising: A frontal hatch - totally extractable - with tilting opening from top to bottom where the fire hose and dispensing fire hose are placed and contained inside.
[0006] In particular, the fire hose is collected in the shape of "Z" by connecting it at one end to the hydrant valve and at the other end to the delivery fire nozzle placed, in turn, on the fire hose.
[0007] The invention of the fire box for hydrant concerns: the use of the same in cases of fire and consequent use of its main components - the fire nozzle and the fire hose - which being placed in the specific container, realized inside the aforementioned hatch, they are immediately available for use by the operator as soon as the opens the tiltin door, that it will go to position in horizontally and from which the equipped container is highlighted, it will only suffice and simply impugn the fire nozzle that connected at the fire hose - positioned and folded away in a Z shape in an orderly and rapid deployment way - will allow the operator to head towards the fire.
[0008] From what precedes we want to highlight that modifications and variations can be made to fire box 1 and at the hatch 3 / b which do not fall outside the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0009] The invention will now be described with reference to the attached drawings which illustrate a non-limiting example of implementation, in which: The figure 1, is a front view of the fire box (1) according to the present invention, composed of: a container (2) and a front door (3); The figure 2, illustrates figure 1, seen both frontally and laterally with opening of the fire box (1), of the container (2) and of the hatch (3b) internal face; The figure 3, illustrates the container (2) of the fire box (1) of figure 1, including the guides (4) for sliding the hatch (3) of the fire box (1) of figure 1, with an opening (5) in the upper part of the horizontal side of the same guides (4), which they allow the extraction of the entire hatch (3) from the container (2) of the fire box (1), with the following mode : through the closing movement of the hatch, the lower circular pins (9 / A) will slide up to under the opening (5) of the horizontal guides (4), and lifting the hatch (3) vertically with both hands (which could be full of fire hose and fire nozzle or empty), it will be allowed the lower rollers (9 / A) of to go out from the horizontal guide (4) and continuing to raise the hatch (3), always vertically, it will be allowed also upper rollers ( 9 / B) to come out of the vertical guides (4) and continuing to raise the hatch, up to the middle of the fire box, all the same hatch it will be inclined, or on the right side or on the left side of the same fire box, thus reducing the width of the hatch compared to the width of the fire box container permitting so at it to extract it from the container (2) of the cassette (1). While, for the repositioning of the hatch inside the fire box will execute the reverse procedure compared to the one illustrated above.The same figure 3, moreover, it illustrates the holes (12) for dripping any water accumulated inside the container (2) as well as the entrance holes (13) of the pipe for hydrant connection inside the fire box (1) via the container (2); The figure 4, illustrates and represent the schematic view of the example realization of the invention with modified hatch which represents the objective of the present invention with : the hatch (3) internal side (3B), where are been to realized of the walls (6 and 6A) of containment and positioning of the fire hose collected in style Z, with holes (10) for the passage of the sliding pins (9A and 9B) placed on the external sides of the walls (6) and blocked with nuts (9 C) placed in the walls (6) of the internal sides; of the holes (17) located in the wall (6a) of dripping of the hatch (3) when the same is in the closing position (vertically); of the fins (7) of containment / maintenance of the fire hose when the hatch (3) it is in position of closed (in vertically ) and a bulkhead (8) of protection and collection of components (fire hose and fire nozzle) from any accidental falls; The figure 5, illustrates an internal front view of the hatch (3 / B) for as described in figure 4, where comes depicted a jumper (14) incorporated inside the hatch (3 / B) where it is fastened -with sliding possibility- a tear-off strap (15) for hooked of the dispensing fire nozzle placed above the fire hose. It is also illustrated an opening (11) where a lock will be placed which will allow, by means of light manual pressure, the opening and closing of the hatch (3) in the container (2) of the fire box (1), opening modifiable according to the type of system / lock used; The figure 6, is a side view of the door (3) for as described in figure 4; The figure 7, illustrates the pins (9) with a circular head, on the side that will slide in the guides (4) and with threaded terminal on the other side crossing the holes (10) for blocking of the same in the walls (6) of the hatch (3) internal side (3 B) with threaded nuts (9 C); The figure 8, represent in section with the tear-off strap (15) with the writing "pull"; The figure 9, represents the type of lock (11) used; The photos in Figures 7, 8, 9, are descriptive photos of generic market components, used as they are part of the fire box kit. The figure 10, is a real front view of the fire box. The figure 11, is a real view of the open fire box which highlights the fire hose and the fire nozzle predisposed the hatch and ready for use "purpose of the present invention".
