PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Fire Extincteurs.
WILLIAM TAYLOR No. 47 Albert Road Southport (Lancashire) Cotton Spinner do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
I attach to the underside of the outside nut or screw which seals the inlet of the
Chemical Fire Engine or L Extincteur, a copper vessel or any other suitable vessel,
which will be suspended verticaly in the inside of the outer cylinder, when the inlet
nut is screwed down and the Engine is supposed to be sealed.
The said suspended copper or other vessel is for holding a chemical solution which
when combined with the water which surrounds it makes the necessary gas for the
extinguishing of fire and this combination is effected by simply turning (bodily) the
Engine the other end up, thus doing away with the necessity of joints, levers, or
other places of escape for the gas other than the outlet and also for doing away with
sealed glass bottles which have to be broken by force and often times silting up the
ontlet the chemical solution and the water are not combined except required or in
case of fire.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Fire Extincteurs.
WILLIAM TAYLOR Cotton Spinner, 47 Albert Road Southport do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
I attach to the underside of the outside nut or screw A which seals the inlet of the
chemical fire engine or Extincteurs, a copper tube B or any other suitable vessel
which said tube or vessel is suspended vertically in the inside of the outer cylinder D
when the inlet nut is screwed down & the Extincteurs is supposed to be sealed. The
said suspended copper tube B or other vessel is for holding a chemical solution there
being an opening marked E in the tube D at the end next the nut or screw which
allows the chemical solution to escape & mix with the water immediately its position
is reversed which solution when combined with the water which surrounds it makes
the necessary gas for the extinguishing of fire & this combination is effected by simply
turning the Extincteur bodily the other end up, thus dispensing with the necessity of
joints, levers, or other places of escape for the gas, other than the outlet through the
tap, and also for dispensing with sealed glass bottles which have to be broken by force
& which broken glass is very liable to silting up the outlet through the tap. The
chemical solution & the water are not combined except by the action of turning the
Extincteur the other end up when required for use.
F is a band round the Extincteur for carrying same on the back when required.
G. is the ordinary plug gland valve.
H handle for opening same.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
"An improved Extincteur which becomes ready for action by the mere act of
turning it upside down, & this being accomplished by means of a tube or other vessel
internally fixed in the manner herewith described."
Dated this 19th day of September 1889.
