A quick response sprinkler arrangement according to claim 1 wherein the temperature sensitive device includes a glass bulb supported in a bulb cage. 10. A quick response sprinkler arrangement according to claim 9 wherein the locking assembly includes an axially slidable piston having a beveled surface and a plurality of balls normally retained in a radially outward position by the beveled surface to hold the locking arrangement in its locking position, the piston being normally supported by the glass bulb in a locking position to retain the plurality of balls in the radially outward position and being movable out of the locking position upon fracture of the glass bulb at an elevated temperature. 11. A quick response sprinkler arrangement according to claim 10 including a guide sleeve having a surface containing resin material for guiding sliding motion of the piston. 12. A quick response sprinkler arrangement according to claim 9 wherein the bulb cage is formed with a plurality of peripheral openings permitting air to pass into the interior of the cage. 13. A quick response sprinkler arrangement according to claim 12 wherein the number of peripheral openings is an odd number. 14. A quick response sprinkler arrangement according to claim 13 wherein the number of peripheral openings is five. 15. A quick response sprinkler arrangement according to claim 12 wherein each of the plurality of openings extends parallel to the axis of the sprinkler arrangement and has concave side surfaces arranged to direct air flowing transverse to the opening into the interior of the cage. 16. A quick response sprinkler arrangement according to claim 12 wherein each opening has a width at its outer end that is greater than the width of the inner end to produce a venturi effect. 17. A quick response sprinkler arrangement according to claim 12 wherein the distance between the glass bulb and the inner surface of the bulb cage is less than the width of each of the openings at its inner end. 18. A quick response sprinkler arrangement according to claim 12 wherein the plurality of openings are arranged so that at least about 50% of an air stream passing toward the bulb cage at any angular orientation about the axis of the sprinkler will be directed into the interior of the bulb cage. 19. A quick response sprinkler arrangement according to claim 1 wherein the support structure comprises a collar having an internal recess and the locking arrangement includes a plurality of elements normally engaging the internal recess and normally retained therein by the temperature sensitive device. 20. A quick response sprinkler arrangement according to claim 1 including a spring member disposed between the deflector and the locking arrangement to urge the locking arrangement away from the deflector. 21. A quick response sprinkler arrangement according to claim 1 wherein the locking arrangement includes a member having a generally cylindrical shape disposed adjacent to and substantially covering the deflector. 22. A quick response sprinkler arrangement comprising: a sprinkler body having an axial passage for fire extinguishing fluid with an inlet end and an outlet end; an axially movable assembly movable between a sealing position and an open position which includes a deflector extending transversely to the axis of the sprinkler and a sealing member for sealing the axial passage; a locking arrangement normally held in a locking position to retain the axially movable assembly in the sealing position; a temperature sensitive device normally retaining the locking arrangement in the locking position and including a thermally responsive element disposed axially outwardly of the deflector in the sealing position of the axially movable assembly and having an outer surface facing away from the sprinkler body and an inner surface facing toward the sprinkler body; and a locking disc forming a part of the locking arrangement and disposed between the deflector and the temperature sensitive device and having an outer surface facing the thermally responsive element with a peripheral portion inclined toward the rear surface of the thermally responsive element to direct air toward the rear surface of the thermally responsive element. 23. A quick response sprinkler arrangement according to claim 22 wherein the thermally responsive element is a solder link containing two plates joined by a solder layer and wherein the locking arrangement includes two lever members each having one end retained in fixed position by the solder link and another end engaging the locking disc and received in a recess in the sprinkler body to hold the locking disc in position. 24. A quick response sprinkler arrangement according to claim 23 including an adjustable screw in the locking disc and an aperture in the solder link to provide access to the adjusted screw. 25. A quick response sprinkler arrangement according to claim 23 wherein the locking disc has a diametrical channel in the outer surface in which the lever members are engaged. 26. A quick response sprinkler arrangement according to claim 22 wherein the axially movable assembly includes a diffuser member supporting the sealing member and the deflector and extending into the axial passage in the sealing position.
