l FIRE-ANNIHILATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 257,595, dated May-9, 1882. Application filed December 3l, 1851. (No model.)

.To all whom it may concerne:

Beit known that I, IsIDoR `Kl'lslinr., a citizen of the United States, residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fire-Annihilators, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in fire-annihilators in which several chemicals are held in separation and are discharged into a common reservoir, where they commingle and constitute a required fire-extinguishing gas or vapor.

My invention is an improvement on my applications for Letters Patent filed on or about the 7th and 25th of November and on or about i the 12th of December, 1881.

V chambers of a building.

Referring to the drawing which accompanies i this application, and which is a vertical sectional view, A is a generatingreservoir. B is a tilting shelf. O C are vessels having looselitting covers c c, adapted to contain chemicals in separation, resting. on the tilting shelf B, which lshelf is held in position by a cord, E.

"T is a pipe one end of which is connected with and opens into the generating-reservoir, and from thence extends through the several This pipe has openings f, which openings are covered with easily-fusible caps G. Each of the fusible caps G retains in position a weight, H, fastened by a suitable mechanical device to a short cord, e, the other terminal end of the short cord e being fastened to a sliding ring, I. The pipe F is provided internally with sounding alarmwhistles K. rlhe pipe F should have one or more of the openings f, with attached fusible caps G, and weights H in each chamber of a building.

The tilting shelf' should he somewhat smaller in size than theinterior of the generating-reservoir, so that it will readily turn therein, and said generator should preferably contain a given quantity of material, adapted to combine with the several chemicals contained in the vessels G, which, when brought in contact, form a required gas or vapor.

The generating-reservoir can bcplaeed inV any part otl a building. I have found by exstory is the preferable location.

When, by the rise of temperature in any room supplied with my device, one of the fusible caps G is melted, the weight H is immediately released and falls downward outside of the pipe F. The ring I can only slide upon the cord E a short distance, and the weight will forthwith withdraw a portion of thel cord E through the openings j' and cause the tilting shelf to turn and upset the vessels C and discharge their contents into the reservoir,-

wliere the several chemicals will combine and constitute the required tire-extinguishing gas or vapor, which will immediately rise in the pipe F, and during its passage therein will sound the alarm-whistles K. lIhe generating Avapor or gas will eventually escape through the apertures that have been opened by the melting of the fusible caps G.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim is- 1. In a lire-annihilator, a generatingresen voir having a tilting shelf held in position by a retaining-cord provided with independent,

branch cords, said branch cords having end weightsembedded within fusible substance, substantially as described.

42. In a re-annihilator, a generating-reservoir having a tilting shelf supplied with ves sels containing chemical reagents in separation, suspended by a cord having independent sliding branch cords, each of said branch cords'having a terminal weight embedded within fusible substance, substantially as de -l scribed.

3. In a fire-annihilating dev1ce, a conduitpipe connected with and opening into a gen-` IOO 6. The combination, in n lire-nnnihilating F being further provided with internal sonnddevice, of' in genMating-reservoir, A, provided l ing alarm-Whistles, K, oord E, and branch 1o with ai tilting shelf, B, and vessels C, snpcords e, as and for the pnpose intended,sub plied with separa-te chemicals, adapted, when stantially as described. brought into Contact, to generate n fire-extinguishing gas, with a conduit-pipe, F, having l openings f, closed with fusible seals G, which i seals retain in position Weights H, said pipe l ISIDOR KITSEE,
