Into this chamber there is introduced, purposes where a foam blanket may be required, through a pipe 5, a stream of water which for example, in checking evaporation from volaemerges from a nozzle 6 inside the chamber. 5 tile liquids.

However, it is within thescope of the invention the pressure of the foam. The action taking place in the discharge end of the mixingchamber the necessary fine state of subdivision.
Referring to Figure 2, the foam-forming ma-' terial is'sup'plied from a tank I! through a valved line l8 into the inlet chamber of a pump i9. In the pump the foam-forming material, which is preferably a. dilute aqueous solution, is mixed with water entering the pump through a line 20.
The mixed water and foam-forming solution pass from the discharge chamber of the pump through a pipe 200. into the ejector chamber 2]. as in Figurel, is connected with a hose or pipe 22 which supplies an auxiliary amount of foamforming solution if required. Unless the auxiliary supply is needed, a valve 23 in line 22 will be closed and valve 24 in line 25-, connected to the discharge chamber of the pump, will be opened. In this case the pump will deliver the aqueous foam-forming material directly to the foam-forming chamber 26 for discharge through a hose 2611. It will be unnecessary to describe this chamber as it, and its connections, are identical with those shown in Figure 1.
Referring now to Figure 3, the device of the invention is shown as mounted on a motor truck .for actuation by the exhaust gases from the truck. A tank 21 is arranged on the truck to I carry a solution of the foam-forming material. This tank may, for example, have a capacity of about twenty gallons. In another compartment 28 there is stored a larger volume of liquid which may be water without foam-forming substance in it. This compartment may hold about one hundred gallons. The figures are given with reference to an installation on a three to five ton fire truck. Tank 21 is arranged to discharge through a line 28 in which there is a two-way valve 29. This valve communicates respectively with a pipe 30 which leads to the ejector chamber 3| and with a pipe 32 arranged for connection to an auxiliary supply of foam-forming material. Water is supplied to the ejector chamber 3! through a line 33 which can be put in communication with any suitable source of water supply as the pump 34 which takes suction from tank 28 A twoeway valve 35 is installed in line 33 for putting it into communication with the ejector chamber 3i or for shutting it off therefrom and connecting the line to hose 33a. The water and foam-forming material pass from the ejector through line 36 to foam-forming chamber 31. Exhaust gases for forming the foam are obtained from the exhaust manifold 38. There is arranged in this a valve 39 which can be operated from the dashboard or other suitable location. When the valve is closed, the exhaust gases will be diverted through branch pipe 40 into the inlet end of themixing chamber 31. The foam produced in the mixing chamber passes out, under pressure of the exhaust gas, through hose li andnozzle 42.
Referring to Figure 4, the installation is similar plied on. a steam to utilize a pump or other means to increase This,

Flue gases from the stack are-diverted at least in part by closing a valve'lflthrough branch pipe 45 and pump 15a, into {the foam-forming chamber 46. The valve l'i'in line I5 is closed when'the deviceis ,nOtin operation. It will'not be necessary to describe thejremaining parts of the equipment since'they'are'identical with those shown in Figures 1 nd The following specific example the operation or the device: a
A solution of secondary extract of licorice is supplied in tank I, Figure 1. When a fire is to be; extinguishedor other use made of the foam-forming equipment, water is passed through line 5 under a pressure of, for example, 30 to pounds per square inch. After having opened valve 3 in line 2 the mixture ofwater and licorice extract is mechanically subdivided in chamber i3 and is subjected to the action of carbon dioxide passed into foam-forming chamber I I under a'pressure of about 25 pounds per square inch. Theseconditions will permit the use of a hose of at least feet in length and will, in most cases, give a throw of foam from the nozzle of about 75 feet.
It will be understood that theseconditions are given merely for illustration. Various changes and alternative arrangements may be made within the scope of the appended'clai'ms in which it is our intention to claim all novelty inherent in the invention as broadly as the prior art permits;
