Insulated article storage unit
Abstract
Abstract A heat resistant cabinet having one or more compartments for storing articles. Each compartment comprises a rectangular container having a hermetically sealable cover. The containers are each individually supported by a conventional file drawer suspension mechanism for movement into and out of corresponding bays in the cabinet casing. One or more cells are formed in the container walls. A particulate mixture having heat absorbing characteristics is contained in such cells and thus the filled portion of each cell serves as a heat sink under conditions where the unit is exposed to intense external heat. By using filler materials having a high heat of fusion the temperature in the inner container is temporarily stabilized when the melting point of the substance employed is exceeded. At least one conductive plate is mounted within each cell in contact with the filler to aid in the transfer of heat thereto.
