==FIRE PROTECTION SPRINKLER ASSEMBLIES AND INSTALLATIONS WITH ADJUSTIBLE PUSH-TO-CONNECT FITTINGS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024718 titled 'FIRE PROTECTION SPRINKLER ASSEMBLIES AND INSTALLATIONS WITH ADJUSTIBLE PUSH-TO-CONNECT FITTINGS

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes adjustable fire protection assemblies and methods. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

* The assembly includes a sprinkler with a body and a deflector supported from the body.
* An escutcheon surrounds the sprinkler and defines an aperture between the receiver and the sprinkler.
* A push-to-connect fitting is part of the assembly and includes a tubular member for connecting to a pipe.
* The tubular member has an internal conduit that receives the sprinkler body.
* A seal member and a retaining ring are inside the tubular member to form an adjustable seal and grip around the sprinkler body.
* A releasing member is used to disengage the retaining ring from the sprinkler body.
* The escutcheon can slide with respect to the tubular member to define an adjustable deflector-to-rim distance.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Fire protection systems in buildings and structures.
* Industrial fire suppression systems.
* Residential fire sprinkler systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Provides an adjustable fire protection assembly that can be easily installed and adjusted.
* Allows for precise positioning of the sprinkler deflector.
* Provides a secure and reliable connection between the sprinkler and the pipe.

Benefits of this technology:

* Simplifies the installation process of fire protection systems.
* Allows for easy adjustment of the sprinkler position.
* Provides a tight seal and secure grip around the sprinkler body.
* Enhances the effectiveness of fire suppression systems.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

adjustable fire protection assemblies and methods are provided. the assembly includes a sprinkler having a body with an outer encasing surface and a deflector supported from the body. an escutcheon having a receiver and a rim surround the fire protection sprinkler to define an aperture between the receiver and the sprinkler. a push-to-connect fitting of the assembly includes a tubular member with an end for connection to a pipe and an internal conduit that receives the sprinkler body. a seal member and a retaining ring are disposed within the tubular member to form an adjustable seal and grip about the sprinkler body. a releasing member translates to disengage the retaining ring from the sprinkler body; and the escutcheon translates with respect to the tubular member in a sliding surface engagement to define an adjustable deflector-to-rim distance between the rim of the escutcheon and the deflector of the sprinkler.
