Company patents

The Reliable Automatic Sprinkler Co. Inc.

The Reliable Automatic Sprinkler Co. Inc. exhibits a surprising patent strategy, with a significant 28.8% of its portfolio in Spraying & Atomizing, which has seen a consistent decline in patenting, including a -100.0% YoY drop in 2026 so far. Even more unexpectedly, the company briefly ventured into pharma_biotech, with patents in Pharmaceutical Preparations, Acyclic / Carbocyclic Compounds, Peptides & Proteins, and Heterocyclic Compounds (Pharma) emerging in 2024, only to cease completely by 2025 with a -100.0% YoY decline in all these categories.

Fire protection sprinkler having a push-in connection

Filed:2023-10-10Pub:2024-12-31
Applicant:The Reliable Automatic Sprinkler Co. Inc.

A sprinkler with a push-in connection includes a sprinkler frame, an operating element, and a sealing cap. The sprinkler also includes one or more sealing gaskets and a retainer. Each such sealing gasket is located at least partially within a groove in the sprinkler frame. The retainer is also at least partially located within a groove in the sprinkler frame. The retainer connects to an internal bore of an outlet of a fluid supply conduit when the sprinkler is installed in the outlet. The one or more gaskets seal against the internal bore of the outlet when the sprinkler is installed in the outlet. The retainer is a spring mechanism so that the diameter of the retainer is reduced when the sprinkler is inserted into the internal bore of the outlet, and the retainer maintains pressure against the outlet internal bore.
