==Trigger Assemblies for Automatic Fire Protection Sprinklers - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240050791 titled 'Trigger Assemblies for Automatic Fire Protection Sprinklers

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes automatic fire protection sprinkler assemblies that have a trigger assembly with a thermally responsive element and a yoke that facilitates heat flow over the thermally responsive element. The yoke includes an elongate support member with a central region centered between two end portions, and linear portions extending between the central region and the end portions. The yoke defines a heat impact region where the end of the trigger assembly is received and seated. The yoke also provides lateral access to define a fluid flow path in fluid communication with the heat impact region to facilitate heat flow over the thermally responsive element.

* The patent application describes an improved design for automatic fire protection sprinkler assemblies.
* The yoke in the assembly is designed to seat and facilitate heat flow over the thermally responsive element.
* The yoke includes an elongate support member with a central region and two end portions.
* Linear portions extend between the central region and the end portions of the yoke.
* The yoke defines a heat impact region where the end of the trigger assembly is received and seated.
* The yoke also provides lateral access to define a fluid flow path that allows heat to flow over the thermally responsive element.

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

Problems Solved:
* Ensures efficient heat flow over the thermally responsive element.
* Provides a secure seating for the trigger assembly.
* Facilitates fluid flow to effectively activate the sprinkler system.

Benefits:
* Improved fire protection and safety.
* Enhanced reliability and performance of sprinkler assemblies.
* Efficient heat detection and activation of the sprinkler system.
