FIRE EXTINGUISHING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR EXTINGUISHING A FIRE

Fire extinguishing device (100). The invention is characterised in that the fire extinguishing device comprises a flask engagement means (110), arranged to engage with a flask (10) for compressed carbon dioxide and to hold the fire extinguishing device in an operating orientation in relation to such a flask; an actuating means (120), arranged to apply a pressure on a valve (13) of said flask whenin said operating orientation so that the valve as a result of said pressure opens and carbon dioxide flows out from the flask, which actuating means in turn comprises a lever means (121) for transferring a force applied by a user within said actuating means (120) for applying said pressure; and a carbon dioxide directing means (130), arranged to direct a jet (20) of carbon dioxide flowing out from the flask when said valve is open. 本发明涉及灭火装置(100)。本发明的特征在于灭火装置包括瓶接合工具(110)，其布置成与用于压缩的二氧化碳的瓶(10)接合并且将灭火装置相对于该瓶保持在操作取向；致动工具(120)，其布置成当处于所述操作取向时在所述瓶的阀(13)上施加压力，使得阀由于所述压力而打开并且二氧化碳从瓶流出，该致动工具又包括杆工具(121)，用于在所述致动工具(120)内转移由用户施加的力，以
