Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“Space-saving, transformable, robotic furniture can be install ed in residential buildings, including for thepurpose of making small spaces mo re functional. In many jurisdictions, residential spaces are subjectto various codes and standards for fire protection. In the United States, the National Fire ProtectionAssociation (NFPA) publishes model standards for fire protect that a re widely adopted. As an example,NFPA 13 “Standard for the Installation of Spri nkler Systems” provides for installation requirements fordifferent types of spr inklers, including residential sprinklers, standard spray sprinklers, and extend edcoverage sprinklers. NFPA 13 includes numerous requirements for different con figurations of obstructionsthat impact sprinkler discharge pattern development for numerous types of sprinklers. It also includesrequirements for sprinklers u nder fixed obstructions and within furniture. Codes and standards adopted inoth er jurisdictions may have similar requirements. In general, these requirements r elate to two principalobstruction scenarios: (1) obstructions or structural/arc hitectural features that are close enough to asprinkler (or other fire suppress ion system) as to block/impact sprinkler (or other fire suppression system)disc harge pattern development, and (2) obstructions that are far enough away from th e sprinkler (orother fire suppression system) that they permit proper sprinkler spray pattern, but that are of a size, orwhich feature an occupiable space, pr eventing effective sprinkler discharge (or other fire suppression systemdischar ge).
