FIGURE 9

Figure 9 is a frontal view of an alternate design of the sensor bulb that has a self-contained extinguishing system rather than in the base. Also displaying the retardant outlets protruding at a 90-degree angle to the side which would cause the ornament to spin while releasing the pressurized retardant thus affecting a larger area.
