Definitions
- the present invention relates to a screen against the spread of fires, in particular forest fires; it concerns in particular a screen which can be easily transported to the place of the fire and installed by fire-fighting teams to circumscribe the outbreak or protect a specific area.
- French patent N ° 924.016 describes a screen made up of a metallic canvas in contact with the ground; it is specified there that the conductivity of the metallic fabric prevents any appreciable caloric transport from one side to the other of the screen and will stop the transmission of the fire, that the height will be two meters fifty and that the metallic fabric is used in the form of elements capable of being transported in the form of rolls of relatively low weight and capable of being carried by human arm. These elements include the wire mesh itself and the frame on which it is stretched, namely stakes connected by metal wires.
- U.S. Patent No. 3,635,290 describes a screen made of fabrics, the lower edge of which is secured to the ground and the lower edge held by hot air balloons, so that the screen forms a veil inflated by the wind and hot air from the fire.
- the fabric is made of fire-resistant material, for example aluminized asbestos.
- the object which the applicant has set for himself is to propose a fire screen which overcomes the drawbacks of known devices, and in particular which is light, easy to transport and to install, without having the rigidity of the metallic canvas, and which resists strong winds without acting as a veil or requiring special reinforcements.
- the fire screen according to the invention which consists of a net, weighing less than 250g / m 2 and which is made of a flexible and non-flammable material.
- net denotes an openwork network obtained by the interweaving of filiform elements.
- the filiform elements are made of a flexible material, that is to say which, after having been folded or rolled up, regains its initial shape. They are preferably textile yarns.
- the filiform elements are non-flammable, that is to say that in contact with a flame they must not ignite in their turn. For this, one uses either naturally non-flammable materials such as glass fibers or chlorofibres, or materials which are in themselves inflammable but which are impregnated or coated with a flame retardant finish, so that the filiform elements are made non-flammable. .
- the confection of the net is carried out by any appropriate technique, making it possible to link the filiform elements together at each intersection.
- the net consists of first filiform elements forming a warp and comprising several braided threads and second filiform elements forming a weft and inserted into the first elements during braiding.
- This particular constitution of the net ensures good resistance to deformation on the screen.
- certain filiform elements and in particular the second elements filiforms of this preferred mode consist of several threads, not twisted together.
- the volume occupied by said filiform elements is greater and the stopping power of the screen is improved.
- Each mesh of the net preferably occupies an average surface of the order of 0.25 cm 2 .
- the screen net 1 shown in the figure is constituted by the interlacing of parallel elements 2 forming in a way the warp of the net and parallel elements 3, perpendicular to the first, forming the frame of the net.
- the elements 3 of the weft consist of four cotton threads not twisted between them.
- the elements 2 of the weft consist of four cotton threads twisted together by braiding.
- the average surface of a mesh 4 of net 1 is 0.25 cm 2 , in a square of 0.5 x 0.5 cm.
- the net 1 thus produced weighs on the order of 150 to 200 g / cm 2 . It is impregnated in a bath containing a high concentration flame retardant, for example based on phosphate. This operation can be done continuously by padding then passing through a drying ream.
- a high concentration flame retardant for example based on phosphate.
- the hydrophilic nature of cotton makes it possible to apply a significant amount of flame retardant to the net, of the order of 50 to 100 g / m 2 , which gives the net its non-flammable nature.
- the screen mesh can be in very diverse presentations, facilitating its transport and its handling on the ground: it can of course be rolled up, but it can also be stacked by successive superposed folds. This last presentation is particularly interesting. Indeed it allows deployment of the net thus folded by simply maintaining the upper edge of the net at a certain height from the ground; the net falls by its own weight and forms a screen which it is sufficient to fix to the ground, unless the lower edge of the net is previously ballasted.
- the net 1 according to the invention can be fixed by any appropriate means either at the time of the fire, or permanently as a preventive measure around areas particularly prone to fire.
- the invention is not limited to the embodiment which has been described by way of non-exhaustive example but covers all the variants.
- the mode of interlacing and the binding of the filiform elements may be different from those recommended above, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
