Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0678311A1] A water jet pipe (2) is mounted adjacent to a wall (3) of the area to be protected, in communication with a liquid supply conduit (1) via a sealed rotary joint (4). The jet is movable between vertical storage and horizontal use positions, pivoting about the supply conduit in a plane perpendicular to the conduit's axis. In its vertical storage position the jet is secured against the wall by a clip which is in mechanical communication with an end cap (7) of the pipe. Water flow in the pipe causes the end cap to move upwards, breaking or releasing the connection to the wall and allowing the pipe to fall to its horizontal position under gravity. <IMAGE>
