Thomas J. Martin. However, US Patent 125,063 issued to Thomas J. Martin, on March 26, 1872, entitled "Fire Extinguisher", has NOTHING to do with a portable fire extinguisher. The portable fire extinguisher had been invented by others many years prior to Martin's invention.
What that patent discloses is a way to use pressurized water pipes inside buildings, supplied from pipes in the street, with valves you could open on each floor and use the spray to put out a fire.

∙ 11y agoIf you mean, "portable fire extinguisher", the answer is "none of them".
The patent issued to T.J. Martin in 1872, entitled "Fire Extinguisher", disclosed a way to connect water pipes in the street outside of large buildings to pipes inside the buildings in a way that you could open valves on each floor and spray a fire with the water.
This has NOTHING to do with the portable fire extinguisher, which had been invented by others many years earlier.

What inspired TomJ Marshal to invent the fire extinguisher?
Thomas J Martin had an 1872 patent for a "Fire Extinguisher." He didn't invent the portable fire extinguisher; it had been around for over 100 years before he made his contribution to fire sprinklers. His motivation is not known.
Was the fire extinguisher invented in 1872?
No, not really. A patent issued that year was entitled "Fire Extinguisher", issued to one Thomas J. Martin, but it was related exclusively to a systems of pressurized pipes installed in buildings for operating sprinklers (or for other purposes). Such an invention clearly has no relevance to any "portable fire extinguisher", or any other self-contained fire extinguisher, portable or not.
What was Thomas J Martin's fire extinguisher in 1872 made of?
According to US Patent 125,063 issued to Thomas J. Martin on March 26, 1872, entitled "Fire Extinguisher", it was a system of pipes (presumably metal) in which water pressure from a reservoir and pump pushes water up pipes and into a building to a valve that can be opened to make the water spray out of nozzles. This is nothing like what came to be known as the "portable fire extinguisher" we have now.
Who patented a fire extinguisher in 1872?
Thomas J. Martin obtained a US Patent in 1872 for a device he CALLED a "fire extinguisher", but which we would today call a "standpipe" and sprinkler system. The water is forced under pressure from pipes in the streets, up through pipes in large building, ending at valves that can be opened to spray the water.There are several related questions that actually refer to a portable fire extinguisher, which is a self-contained device.Thomas J.

Who is thomas j Martin?
Tom. J Martin (sometimes confused with Marshall) was a black inventor who made an improvement to fire hydrants and was issued a patent entitled "Fire Extinguisher." It is nothing like what we call a "fire extinguisher" today, but rather a wet standpipe system for piping pressurized water up to nozzles inside a building. US Patent 125,063 was issued March 26, 1872 to Thomas J. Martin [sic]. If you find any patents under the name of T.J. Marshall, let us know.
Who invented the fire Extinguisher'?
Records show that Ambrose Godfrey patented a fire extinguisher in England in 1723 and that George William Manby invented the "modern" extinguisher in 1818. One could also argue that a bucket full of water or sand is also a "fire extinguisher" and was invented about the time people started living in houses. There are some who incorrectly believe that Thomas "T.J." Marshall invented the fire extinguisher in 1872. Others say, "Ochoa L.C Bailey July 18,1899". See the related questions about Thomas J. Martin for more about 1872. (Martin's patent is titled "Fire Extinguisher", but describes an improvement to a system of pipes installed inside a building, like a sprinkler system, nothing like a portable "fire extinguisher" of today.)

In what year did T Marshall invent the fire extinguisher?
Actually it was a type of fire standpipe and sprinkler in which water pressure from a reservoir and pump pushes water up pipes and into a building to a valve that can be opened to make the water spray out of nozzles. US Patent 125,063, issued March 26, 1872 to Thomas J. Martin [sic], of Dowagiac, Cass County, Michigan. There were no US patents at ALL issued on October 26, 1872. They were only issued on Tuesdays and the 26th was a Saturday.

Who was T J Marshall?
He was credited for improving the fire extinguisher in 1872, about 150 years after it had been invented in England. What he actually invented was a type of fire standpipe and sprinkler in which water pressure from a reservoir and pump pushes water up and into a building to a valve that can be opened to make the water spray out of nozzles. That is nothing like what we call a "portable fire extinguisher" today. US Patent 125,063, issued March 26, 1872 to Thomas J. Martin [sic], of Dowagiac, Cass County, Michigan.
Who patented the fire extinguisher in 1872?
The first fire extinguisher of which there is any record was patented in England in 1723 by Ambrose Godfrey, a celebrated chemist. It consisted of a cask of fire-extinguishing liquid containing a pewter chamber of gunpowder. This was connected with a system of fuses which were ignited, exploding the gunpowder and scattering the solution. This device was probably used to a limited extent, as Bradley's Weekly Messenger for November 7, 1729, refers to its efficiency in stopping a fire in London.
What was patent 127478?
Patent number 127,478 is titled "Improvement in Machines for Crozing and Chamfering Barrels". It was granted to John Greenwood on 4 June 1872.
