摘要
记者从发明人提供的背景资料中获得以下引述：“可在住宅建筑中安装节省空间、可变形的机器人家具，包括使小空间更具功能性的目的。在许多司法管辖区，住宅空间是受符合各种消防规范和标准。在美国，国家消防部门协会(NFPA)公布了被广泛采用的消防标准范本。例如，NFPA 13“Spri NKLER系统安装标准”规定了不同类型的spr喷墨器，包括家用喷墨器、标准喷墨器和扩展ed覆盖喷头。NFPA 13包括各种障碍物配置的许多要求这种冲击式喷头的排放方式发展为多种类型喷头。它还包括固定障碍物和家具内洒水装置的要求。通过的守则和标准其他司法管辖区可能有类似的要求。一般来说，这些要求与两个主要障碍物场景：（1）障碍物或结构/弧状结构特征，这些障碍物或结构/弧状结构特征足够接近喷淋器(或其他灭火离子系统)与阻塞/冲击式喷淋器(或其他灭火系统)盘形harge模式发展，以及（2）距离洒水装置足够远的障碍物（或）其他灭火系统，它们允许适当的喷水方式，但尺寸，或具有可占用空间，具有有效的喷水灭火系统（或其他灭火系统）分离器
Abstract
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).
