Abstract
Abstract A fire proof cable tray constructed of assemblable units, each of which comprises a metal frame having a wire mesh covering attached thereto, an intumescent coating encapsulating the wire mesh, a layer of an inorganic, non-combustible fiber mat and a sheet of metal foil. The foil, fiber mat and encapsulated screen are mechanically secured together. The units can be assembled on the job site to form a cable tray for protecting control lines in a refinery or chemical plant.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
52 words
A fire protective insulating product having an assemblable unit comprising: an essentially rectangular metal frame, said frame supporting and attached to a wire mesh, a coasting of an intumescent material encapsulating said wire mesh, and secured to one surface of said encapsulated wire mesh, a insulative layer of an inorganic, non-combustible fiber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
52 words
A fire protective insulating product having an assemblable unit comprising: an essentially rectangular metal frame, said frame supporting and attached to a wire mesh, a coasting of an intumescent material encapsulating said wire mesh, and secured to one surface of said encapsulated wire mesh, a insulative layer of an inorganic, non-combustible fiber.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The fire protective insulating product of claim 1, wherein the metal frame is adapted to be secured to a second assemblable unit.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The fire protective insulating product of claim 1, wherein the metal of said metal frame is resistant to corrosion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
The fire protective insulating product of claim 1, wherein the openings in said wire mesh do not exceed one inch, and the wires of said wire mesh are welded together.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
The fire protective insulating product of claim 1, wherein the coating of said intumescent material encapsulating said wire mesh is of a thickness of at least three-sixteenth's inch.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
16 words
The fire protective insulating product of claim 1, wherein the inorganic, non-combustible fiber is mineral wool.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
16 words

Claim 9
Dependent Claim
87 words
A fire protective insulating product having an assemblable unit comprising: an essentially rectangular galvanized metal frame, at least two opposite sides thereof being angularly shaped, a wire mesh covering at least one side of, and attached to, said metal frame, said wire mesh being encapsulated by at least three-sixteenth's inch intumescent material, an insulative layer of an inorganic, non-combustible fiber mat being attached to at least one side of said metal frame, and a metal foil layer secured to said assemblable unit as the last layer thereof.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
87 words
A fire protective insulating product having an assemblable unit comprising: an essentially rectangular galvanized metal frame, at least two opposite sides thereof being angularly shaped, a wire mesh covering at least one side of, and attached to, said metal frame, said wire mesh being encapsulated by at least three-sixteenth's inch intumescent material, an insulative layer of an inorganic, non-combustible fiber mat being attached to at least one side of said metal frame, and a metal foil layer secured to said assemblable unit as the last layer thereof.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
47 words
The fire protective insulating product of claim 8, wherein the inorganic, non-combustible fiber mat is mineral wool and is attached to the side of said metal frame which is opposite said wire mesh and having a metal foil attached to the other side of said fiber mat.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
29 words
A fire proof cable tray comprising a four-sided housing, each side of said housing consisting of at least one of said assemblable units claimed in claims 1 or 8.
