Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide water smoothly from a fire door frame to a fire door by offering a hinge that makes water supply passage in such a way to provide water that is being stored to the inside fire door frame. Thus, it would be expected to shut off flame and heat, even put out flame in the event of a fire outbreak. The authors provide a deep analysis of relevant literature on the stated topic, emphasizing its importance and urgency. The structure of a newly invented fire door hinge is presented in detail, as well as operating mechanism of a hinge for a fire door is fully described.
