nozzle


Explanation:

According to www.granddictionnaire.com
soufflette=blow nozzle

although most sites on fire extinguishers just seem to call it a nozzle
This diagram shows the parts of a fire extinguisher including the nozzle

diffuser


Explanation:
Vu la description c'est le plus probable, images pour pour confirmer (je penche pour buse=nozzle mais la poignée peut être intégrée, voir les images diffuser-nozzle si-dessous):

Diffuser nozzle (avec la poignée=handle):

Multipurpose nozzle et horn:

Le horn est une trompette séparée du corps de l'extincteur, au bout d'un tube coudé ou d'un flexible
