Abstract:
A flexible dry sprinkler includes a flexible tube, an inlet attached to an inlet end of the flexible tube, an inlet seal assembly configured to seal an inlet orifice of the inlet, and an inlet release unit configured to release the inlet seal assembly. The inlet release unit includes a frangible member configured to support the inlet seal assembly in the inlet orifice. An outlet is attached to the outlet end of the flexible tube, and includes an outlet orifice sealed by an outlet seal assembly having a thermally responsive element and an outlet seal. A flexible linkage extends between the inlet and the outlet through the flexible tube, and translates, when the outlet seal is released, a predetermined distance to operate the inlet release unit.

Claim (Index 18):
The flexible dry sprinkler according to  claim 17 ,\n wherein the inlet release unit further includes a collar that surrounds the glass bulb, a collar rod attached to the collar, and a spacer attached to the collar rod and to an inlet end of the flexible linkage, and wherein, when the flexible linkage translates the predetermined distance in the outlet direction, the spacer causes the collar rod to move in the outlet direction, thereby causing the collar to break the glass bulb, and releasing the inlet seal assembly.
