Patent ID: 7679521

Claim:
A Christmas tree fire prevention system comprising: (a) a Christmas tree ornament; wherein a smoke detector is fitted within an interior of the Christmas tree ornament; wherein a heat detector for sensing heat generated by a fire in close proximity is fitted within the interior of the Christmas tree ornament; wherein a motion sensor for sensing body heat is fitted to the Christmas tree ornament; wherein electrical wiring extends from said Christmas tree ornament to the smoke detector, the heat detector, and the motion sensor; (b) a control box; wherein an on/off switch is mounted on an exterior surface of the control box; wherein the on/off switch is electrically wired to a central processing unit (hereinafter CPU); wherein a power cord is connected to the CPU and provides continuous AC electrical power from a typical wall outlet; wherein a backup battery supply is connected to the CPU to provide power in the event that the power supplied by the power cord ceases; wherein a speaker is electrically wired to the CPU, wherein a radio transmitter is electrically wired to the CPU; wherein a pump is electrically wired to the CPU; wherein a fire extinguishing reservoir is connected to the pump by a hose or permanent connection on the surface of the reservoir; wherein a fire extinguishing hose is connected to the high pressure outlet of the pump; wherein the fire extinguishing hose has a predetermined length that enables the hose to run up a Christmas tree; wherein a plurality of holes are cut-out of the hose at predetermined locations; wherein a filling cap is located on the control box to fill the fire extinguishing reservoir wherein a signal from either the smoke detector or heat detector is transmitted via the electrical wiring down to the CPU, where it is processed, after which a electrical power is transmitted to the pump, which in turn begins pressurizing the fire extinguishing fluid, which travels up the fire extinguishing hose, and is ejected out of the plurality of holes, and throughout the entire tree; furthermore, the CPU simultaneously sends a signal to the speaker, which in turn releases a high-level decibel sound alarm; wherein the motion sensor sends a first signal to the CPU, which processes said first signal and transmits a second signal to the speaker, which in turn releases said high decibel sound alarm; and wherein either the smoke detector, heat detector, or motion sensor sends said first signal to the CPU, which notifies a remote receiver via said transmitter that generates a remote alarm via a remote speaker.
