Combined fire extinguisher and audible alarm

Claim 1

A combined fire extinguisher and audible alarm capable of being adjustably supported from a wall to protect a desired area adjacent said wall: a. a cylindrical container for a pressurized fire extinguishing fluid, said container including a top that supports an apertured normally closed valve; b. a bracket that supports said container from said wall; c. a first right angle tube that has first and second end portions; d. first means for removably securing said first end portion to said top in communication with said valve; e. second means for maintaining said valve in an open position when said first end portion is secured to said top; f. a nozzle having a plurality of passages therein of such configuration that an audible noise is emitted therefrom as pressurized fluid flows therethrough; g. third means for adjustably supporting said nozzle from said second end portion; h. a valve member movably supported in said nozzle, said valve member capable of occupying either a first or second position, said valve member when in said first position preventing flow of said pressurized fire extinguishing fluid through said passages; and i. heat sensitive means that maintain said valve member in said first position until the temperature of the ambient atmosphere around said combined fire extinguisher and audible alarm rises above a predetermined maximum as a result of a fire in said area whereupon said heat sensitive means allows said pressurized fluid to move said valve member to said second position in which said pressurized fire extinguishing fluid discharges through said passages with emission of an audible noise to be transformed into a spray to extinguish said fire.
