Thomas J. Martin had nothing to do with invention of what is today called the fire extinguisher. It was invented well before he was even born. What Martin did patent was a system of pipes and sprinklers that could be used in highrise buildings.

His patent just happened to have the title "Fire Extinguisher".

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.


What year did Thomas J Martin patent a fire extinguisher?

US Patent 125,063 issued to Thomas J. Martin, on March 26, 1872 is entitled "Fire Extinguisher", but it has NOTHING to do with a portable fire extinguisher. What that patent discloses is a way to use pressurized water pipes inside buildings, supplied from the street, with valves you could open on each floor and use the spray to put out a fire. The patent says he was living in Dowagiac, Michigan at the time.
