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.
