Patent 7841420 was granted and assigned to X-Fire (game show) on November, 2010 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A self-activating fire extinguisher includes a pressure vessel having an outlet and containing a fire suppressant therein. A fusible material caps the outlet such that melting the fusible material allows escape of the fire suppressant from the pressure vessel. A deflector is associated with the pressure vessel for deflecting the fire suppressant escaping the pressure vessel onto a corresponding hazard.
