This technology is a water-based fire suppression system that uses a tubular water reservoir, which is detachably mounted inside the bowl and trap of a flush toilet to keep water stored at all times. It features a hook that attaches to the rim of the bowl and a door that opens and closes the opening toward the trap, allowing the reservoir to be lifted and used as fire extinguishing water in the event of a fire.
Flush toilets always contain a certain amount of water to prevent odors from backing up, but this water has not been utilized for other purposes. In the early stages of an indoor fire, there is often a lack of readily available water, leading to missed opportunities for initial suppression.
This technology consists of a water reservoir made up of a flexible ring-shaped receptor that fits snugly against the bowl, a flexible tubular receptor extending to the bottom of the trap, and a rigid receptor that narrows toward the top. When flushing, the door opens due to water pressure, and when removed, a locking mechanism closes the opening to prevent water loss. It can be applied to sanitary facilities in homes, lodging facilities, and public restrooms, as well as building fire response systems, enhancing fire suppression capabilities using existing water without the need for separate storage space.
