摘要

The invention relates to a fire extinguisher, in particular portable hand-held fire extinguishing apparatus for instant fire fighting, in particular in aircraft. Said extinguisher is provided with at least one pressurised container (10, 11), in which a pressurised propellant (40) and an extinguishing agent (41) that is subjected to the action of the propellant (40) are sealed. In addition, the fire extinguisher comprises a mixing chamber (20), which is located in the container (10, 11) and in which the extinguishing agent (41) and the propellant (40) can be combined. The fire extinguisher also has a spray nozzle (30), which is connected to said mixing chamber (20) and through which the extinguishing agent (41) and the propellant (40) can be released into the open air. A fire extinguisher of this type is characterised by a lightweight construction and ease of handling in all spatial positions. To achieve this, the propellant (41) is surrounded by a sleeve (12, 13, 15) that is located in the container (10).
