carbon dioxide extinguisher
(gcide) | Extinguisher \Ex*tin"guish*er\, n.

[1913 Webster]

CO2 extinguisher
(gcide) | Extinguisher \Ex*tin"guish*er\, n.

fire extinguisher a portable device designed to deliver

carbon dioxide extinguisher, or CO2 extinguisher, and
soda-acid extinguisher.
[PJC]CO2 extinguisher \CO2 extinguisher\ (s[=e]"[-o]*t[=oo]`
[e^]ks*t[i^][ng]"gw[i^]sh*[~e]r),
a device for suppressing fire, consisting of a steel cylinder
containing compressed carbon dioxide, which may be released
by pressing on a handle. The release of the gas is usually
accomplished through a hose attached to a funnel-shaped vent
which is directed at the base of the fire, and when released,
part of the carbon dioxide is chilled sufficiently to
solidify into a powder. The large quantity of inert carbon
dioxide released on top of a small fire is usually sufficient
to exinguish the flame by excluding oxygen, and the cooling
effect also helps drive the temperature of the combustible
material below that required to support compustion. It is
used in situations where putting water on the fire might
cause undesirable damage.

2. Art extinguishment may be by matter of fact and by matter of law. 1.
It is by matter of fact either express, as when one receives satisfaction
and full payment of a debt, and the creditor releases the debtor 11 John.
513'; or implied, as when a person hath a yearly rent out of, lands and
becomes owner either by descent or purchase, of the estate subject to the
payment of the rent, the latter is extinguished 3 Stew. 60; but the person
must have as high an estate in the land as in the rent, or the rent will not
be extinct. Co. Litt. 147. See Merger.
3. There are numerous cases where the claim is extinguished b operation
of law; for example, where two persons are jointly, but not severally
liable, for a simple contract debt, a judgment obtained against one is at
common law an extinguishment of the claim on the other debtor. Pet. C. C.
301; see 2 John. 213. Vide, generally, Bouv. Inst. Index, h.t.; 2 Root,
