Thomas J. Martin's fire extinguisher, patented in 1872, was primarily made of a cylindrical metal container filled with a mixture of water and other extinguishing agents, such as chemicals. The design included a mechanism for expelling the contents under pressure, allowing for effective firefighting. This invention contributed to the development of modern fire extinguishers.

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.

What black American got patent for a fire extinguisher in 1872?

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.

In what year did Thomas J Marshall invent a fire extinquisher?

Perhaps you refer to Thomas J. MARTIN (not "Marshall") who had a patent. A US Patent 125,063 for a "Fire Extinguisher" was issued to Thomas J. Martin on March 26, 1872. It described a pressurized water pipe for running spray nozzles inside buildings. It is nothing like what we now refer to as portable "fire extinguishers". If you know of any related inventions by anyone named T.J. Marshall, please let us know.


Who invented the fire?

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.)
