Fi g. i l is a longitudinal section *of 'tlre reservoir, Fig; 2 is an e'nd view of'thereservoir, Fig.3 is an end view (if-the sealing member used in the end of the reservoir.
With rferenceto'the drawingthe reservoir comprises a rigid outer container lii'whi'ch' is preferably made iof metal andcylindrical in shape, 5 having a close'd end 11 and an-open end 12. Positioned*withincontrinerTfl is a flexiblecontainer 13' preferably made of'thinrubbe'r or "other flexible and liquid'impervious' 'material,. thewall 14 of which fits smoothly in sliding. contact'with .the

Wall of container'10has an outwardly flared portion 21 at open end 12 around'which a suitably shaped flange 22 is secured, theextending end 23 of which is internally threaded. A thin ring 24 having a portion 25 adjacent its outer'edge disposed at an acute anglecorresponding .to'the angle'of flaredportion-21 of wall 15, is positioned within the open'ends of containers 10 and 13. A thin "webl26 having itsends-secure'd to ring 24 extends across ring 24 at the approximate center thereof, web 26 being provided with. a sharp projecting portion 27 extending inwardly" for apurpose to be explained. A flexible sealing member28 is disposed within the open ends of containers i10lan'd'13 with its inner face 29 adjacent its edge in contact withportion-25of ring 24. Sealing member'28 is preferably made of flexible combustible plastic-such-as Celluloid andhas a double wall at its center to form a receptacle 30 shaped, asshown in Fig. -3, with outwardly projectingportions31. Receptacle 30 is filled with an 'explosivemate'rial such -as gunpowder and has two electrodes32 and'33 extending thereinto for a purpose to be explained. The outer face. 34. of sealing member 28 has narrow, shallow grooves '35 cut therein, each: groove terminating atthe end of one of projectingportions 31 of receptacle 30 for a purposeto be explained. A rigid end member36 having a portion 37 of its wall 38 inclined at an angle corresponding to the angle of flared end por- Ition'21 of container 10 and an-outwardlyprojecting center portion 39 provided with an opening 40 passing therethrough, is positioned withinthe open ends of containers '10 and 13 with angular portion 37 in contactwith sealing member '28. Anexternally threaded ring nut'41 surrounding end member-36 and in threaded'engagement with the extending end 23 of flange ZZhas a shoulder "42 arranged to; press against the edge of angular portion' 37 of wall"38 pressing-portion 37 against sealing'rnember T28 and therebyv pressing sealing member 28' against portion-25 of ring 24and a. portion of wall 14 of container '13 against flaredportion 21 of container 10 to provide' a closure for the open-endsof containers Iii-and 13. End memberi3'6 has a-threaded opening 43 in which an electrical connecting terminal 44 is positioned whichconsists of .aithreaded metabshell-45- containing a dielectric core 46 through which an electrical connector 47 passes. S Connector 47 is. connected to electrode 32 in receptacle "30 and aground wire 48 :is connected to shell-45 and "52,, preferably located withineasy reachuofvt-he air-plane ,pilot.
Closed end ll-of container Itllis providedwithanopeniing53 in .which a rigid outwardly projec'tmg.collarl54 is secured. "The lower end 55 of collar 54 'is arranged'to "receive aridsupport an explosive fca'rtridgeiiti and the "upperjp'ortion 57 of collar54 is internally jth'readed to. re- "ceive a cartridge retainer '58. "Ca'r'trfdge "'56 comprises a and which extends inwardly from collar 54 into the area 61 between ends 11 and 16 of containers 10 and 13. The outer end wall of receptacle 59 within collar 54 consists of a rigid metallic plate 62-havinga metallic electrode 63 attached thereto and extending intopowderfl). Plate 62 is provided with a central -openingl64extending therethrough which contains a core 65 of electrical insulating material through which a metallic electrode 66 passes. Electrode 66 terminates at its outer end in a contact button of a known type (not shown) embedded in the outer end of core 65 and extends inwardly through core 65 into powder 60 sufficiently near to electrode 63 to establish a spark gap therebetween. -The inner end wall 67 of receptacle 59 is composed of a thin easily ruptured material such as thin rubber.
Cartridge retainer 58 is preferably made of metal an has a threaded end 68 arranged to enter threaded end 57 of collar 54 and engage and press against plate 62. Retainer 58 is provided with a central opening 69 containing a core 79 of electrical insulating material through which an electrical connection 71 extends into contact with the outer end of electrode 66. Connector 71 is connected to lead by means of a wire 72 to conduct electrical current to electrode 66 from battery 51. Electrical current passing through electrode 66 will arc across to electrode 63 connected to plate 62 thus producing a spark to ignite powder 60 for a purpose to be explained. To prevent end 16 of container 13 from being damaged by the heat of ignited powder 60 a flame and heat deflector is attached to the inner surface of container over cartridge 56 near end wall 67 thereof. Deflector 73 has a solid end wall 74 and side walls 75 connected to container 16 which are provided with openings 76 extending therethrough.
To use the reservoir, container 13 is filled with fluid and ring 24, sealing member 28 and end member 36 are assembled and secured in the open ends of containers l0 and 13 as previously described, and projecting portion 3? of end member 36 is connected to the inlet of a fire extinguishing system (not shown). To eject the fluid into the fire extinguishing system, switch 52 is closed permitting electrical current from battery 51 to flow through lead 50 to wires 49 and 72. Current flowing through wire 49 passes through connector 47 to electrode 32 in sealing member 28 and arcs across to electrode 33 producing a spark which ignites the explosive material contained in receptacle 30. Ignition of the explosive material will rupture sealing member 28 particularly along grooves 35 in face 34 and will also ignite and burn a portion of sealing member 28 so that the fluid contained in container 13 will be permitted to pass freely through the sealing member and out through opening 40 in end member 36. Current flowing through wire 72 to electrical connector 71 flows through electrode 66 and arcs across to electrode 63 producing a spark which ignites powder 60. The rapid burning or explosion of powder 60 within receptacle. 59 ruptures end wall 67 so that the pressure created by the expansion of gases from the explosion of powder 60 is directed into area 61 through openings 76 by shield 73. The pressure directed into area 61 presses against end 16 of container 13 causing end 16 to move toward open end 12 of container 10 thereby forcing the fluid contained in container 13 out through ruptured sealing member 28 and opening 40. As end 16 of container 13 moves toward open end 12 of container 10 rings 18 move along the inner surface of container 10 until end 16 is in the position indicated by phantom line 16. The force with which end 16 is pressed against projecting portion 27 of web 26 causes portion 27 to pierce end 16 and release the pressurized gases created by the explosion of powder 60 in cartridge 56 from area 61. The pressurized gases pass out through sealing member 28 and opening 40 into the fire extinguishing system to rapidly urge the fluid ejected thereinto out through the outlets of the system.
In the above described action the electrical current being supplied from a single source 51 and controlled through a single switch 52, reaches cartridge 56 and sealing member 28 practically simultaneously so that cartridge 56 is ignited to produce the force needed to eject the fiuid from container 13 at the same time that the explosive material in receptacle 30 is ignited to rupture sealing member 28 and permit the fluid to pass therethrough. The action takes place very rapidly and is almost instantaneous with the closing of switch 52 so that the fluid is discharged from the outlets of the fire extinguishing system into the desired area very quickly.
The sturdy construction of the reservoir and its positive fluid ejection action provides a reliable source of fire extinguishing fluid which is adaptable for use in fire extinguishing systems on nearly all types of airplanes.
This invention may be embodied in other forms or carried out in other ways without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. The present embodiment of the invention is therefore to be considered as in all respects illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are intended to be embraced therein.
