Abstract
Abstract Explosive device temperature controlling wherein high temperature effect of an environment is minimized by isolating explosive and a low temperature medium from the environment by enclosing within apparatus comprising a container including a removable end closure, first and second open-ended double-walled housings each having an outer wall supported by the container and an inner wall spaced from the outer wall with heat-insulating barrier therebetween, the container maintaining the double-walled housings in axial alignment with the open ends thereof in substantially abutting relationship with each other.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
Temperature-controlling apparatus for enclosing an explosive device comprising an elongated container including a removable end closure; a first open-ended double-walled housing within said container adjacent one end thereof having outer wall supported by the container and inner wall spaced from said outer wall and with heat-insulating barrier intermediate said inner and outer walls, a boss projecting from said inner wall and a heat-insulating member intermediate said inner and outer walls and positioning them in spaced-apart relationship; a second open-ended doublewalled housing within said container having outer wall supported by the container and inner wall spaced from said outer wall and with heat-insulating barrier intermediate said inner and outer walls, a boss projecting from said inner wall and a heatinsulating member intermediate said inner and outer walls and positioning them in spaced-apart relationship; said container maintaining the double-walled housings in said axial alignment and the open ends thereof in substantially abutting relationship with each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
154 words
Temperature-controlling apparatus for enclosing an explosive device comprising an elongated container including a removable end closure; a first open-ended double-walled housing within said container adjacent one end thereof having outer wall supported by the container and inner wall spaced from said outer wall and with heat-insulating barrier intermediate said inner and outer walls, a boss projecting from said inner wall and a heat-insulating member intermediate said inner and outer walls and positioning them in spaced-apart relationship; a second open-ended doublewalled housing within said container having outer wall supported by the container and inner wall spaced from said outer wall and with heat-insulating barrier intermediate said inner and outer walls, a boss projecting from said inner wall and a heatinsulating member intermediate said inner and outer walls and positioning them in spaced-apart relationship; said container maintaining the double-walled housings in said axial alignment and the open ends thereof in substantially abutting relationship with each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein one of said housings has a double-walled portion of reduced diameter projecting into and enclosed by an overlapping double-walled portion of the other housing.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
The apparatus of claim 2 having cooling means disposed in said housing having the reduced diameter portion for maintaining the explosive device at a temperature within a preselected temperature range.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The apparatus of claim 3, wherein said cooling means includes a mixture of ice and water.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
The apparatus of claim 4 wherein said coOling means is cooled at an initial temperature substantially below freezing.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said heat-insulating barrier includes an evacuated passageway between the double walls of said first and second housings.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
13 words
The apparatus of claim 6 wherein said heat-insulating barrier includes a multilayered insulation.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
17 words
The apparatus of claim 7 wherein said insulation comprises reflective metal radiation shields separated by low-thermal-conductivity spacers.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
14 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said housing walls are made of stainless steel.
