IPC: A62C99/00
Filed: 2013-03-14
Abstract: A valve mechanism for use in a hermetically sealed fire extinguisher comprises a valve body 20 having an inlet 152 and an outlet 154 and a passageway 156 extending therebetween. The valve further comprises a flow blocking element 110, such as a metal diaphragm, provided to block flow of a substance through the passageway, and means for breaking said flow blocking element, for example an explosive charge.
