What year did Thomas J Martin patent a fire extinguisher?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, Thomas J. Martin patented the fire extinguisher in 1872. Like, he was probably just tired of watching everything burn down and was like, "I should do something about this." So yeah, 1872, the year fire hazards everywhere started to feel a little less threatening.

Answer 3

US Patent 125,063 issued to Thomas J. Martin, on March 26, 1872 is entitled "Fire Extinguisher", but it has NOTHING to do with what we call 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. Today, such an invention might be called "Fixed and pressurized standpipe and sprinkler system for fire suppression."

Itwas Captain George William Manby FRS, an English author and inventor. He designed an apparatus for saving life from shipwrecks and also the first modern form of fire extinguisher in 1818. However, there are records of a patented in England in 1723 by Ambrose Godfrey, a celebrated chemist of the time.

Answer 4

In 1813, British army captain George Manby created the first known portable fire extinguisher: a two-foot-tall copper cylinder that held 3 gallons of water and used compressed air as a propellant. One of the earliest extinguishers to use a chemical extinguishing agent, and not just water, was invented in 1849 by the Englishman William Henry Phillips, who patented his "fire annihilator" in England and the United States (US patent #7,269).

The Thomas J. Martin "Fire Extinguisher" patent was issued in 1872, but was a mechanism for using water through pressurized pipes to run up inside buildings to nozzles that could be opened to spray the water. That is not really anything related to today's portable fire extinguishers.

Answer 5

Thomas J. Martin had nothing to do with invention of what is 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.

Answer 6

He did nothing of the sort. He patented an invention that he CALLED a "Fire Extinguisher", but it was a system for taking pressurized water from pipes in the street, running the pipes up inside buildings, where they could be used for spraying water on fires.

Answer 7

1872

US Patent number 125,063, entitled "Fire Extinguisher", was issued March 26, 1872 to Thomas J. Martin. It describes a wet standpipe system for piping pressurized water into buildings for fire nozzles. It is nothing like what we now call a "portable fire extinguisher".

If you know of any similar patents issued to Thomas J. Marshall, let us know.

Answer 9

Tom J. Marshall did not invent "the fire extinguisher." You have been misinformed. There was, however, a "fire extinguisher" patent issued to Tomas J. Martin in 1872, entitled "Fire Extinguisher". However, that invention had NOTHING to do with today's portable fire extinguishers -- it was a system of pipes for sprinkler systems inside large buildings, pressurized from pipes in the street.

Answer 10

Thomas Martin had nothing to do with inventing the "fire extinguisher" as we know it today (a portable, pressurized container). He invented what we would today call a "standpipe and sprinkler system" for installing in large buildings and connecting to the water mains in the street.
