Abstract:
A valve assembly includes a valve with a valve body and chamber. A poppet with a stem and piston is slidably engaged inside the valve body. A poppet release mechanism is included for releasing the poppet from a closed position. A mechanism cover is attached to the valve body. A safety mechanism with a pin, spring, and lever is included for preventing the poppet from moving into a fully open position. A first end of the pin extends into the chamber into a pathway of the poppet and a second end of the pin extends into the valve body of the valve. The spring is positioned between and in contact with the pin and the mechanism cover to bias the pin toward the poppet. A first end of the lever is pivotably attached to the pin and a second end of the lever extends out from the valve body.

Claim (Index 1):
A fire suppression system for a vehicle with a wall, the fire suppression system comprising:\n an extinguisher, wherein the extinguisher comprises:\n a pressure container with a neck portion, the pressure container for holding a fire extinguishing agent; \n a valve assembly threadably engaged with neck portion of the pressure container, the valve assembly comprising:\n a valve with a poppet and a chamber; \n a pin positioned such that a first end of the pin extends into the chamber of the valve into a pathway of the poppet and a second end of the pin extends into a body of the valve, the pin movable between a blocking position in which the pin blocks the poppet from moving into a fully open position and an un-blocking position in which the pin is removed from a pathway of the poppet to allow the poppet to fully open the flow passage; \n a lever with a pivot, the lever pivotably attached to the pin, wherein a first end of the lever engages the pin and a second end of the lever extends out from the valve body and spans across the neck portion of the pressure container; \n an exit port in fluid communication with the chamber; and \n \n a mounting bracket for receiving the fire suppression system and for preventing relative motion between the fire suppression system and the wall of the vehicle, wherein the mounting bracket comprises:\n a lip extending outwards from a base portion of the mounting bracket for engaging with the second end of the lever to cause the first end of the lever to translate the pin out of a blocking position and into an un-blocking position.
