Definitions

  • Fire-resistant safes, chests, and containers typically include a fire-resistant insulation material arranged between inner and outer walls surrounding a protected chamber.
  • An access door or lid is always necessary and typically also contains fire-resistant insulation material.
  • Jamb regions where a door or lid closes against a body opening are usually designed for fire resistance.
  • Resin components are often used, including resin inner chamber walls and door interior walls, resin door and body jambs, and sometimes resin exterior walls, as well. A fire can burn away any exposed resin components, and resin jamb walls that become heated in a fire can fuse together to form a seal between a door or lid and a body of a safe or chest.
  • Resin walls for fire-resistant containers offer several advantages. Resin is a poor conductor of heat and does not conduct heat through a jamb region as well as steel does. A resin wall is also waterproof, which is especially advantageous for an inner wall that can keep water within the insulation material from reaching the interior of the protected chamber.
  • This invention exploits another advantage of resin jamb and wall components in a fire-resistant safe, chest, or container. It makes the door of such a container water resistant, as well as fire resistant, by arranging a compressible, water-resistant seal between the door and body jambs. Such a seal is preferably arranged between door and body jamb surfaces that are confronting and parallel in the plane of the door when the door is closed. In such a position, a seal is compressed when the door is closed and seals the door against water entry. This adds to the resistant properties of the container so that besides surviving the hazard of fire, the container can also survive hazards such as floods or water damage from fire fighting or storms.
  • Figure 1 is a partially schematic, front elevational view of a safe having a closed front door provided with the invention.
  • Figure 2 schematically shows the safe of FIG. 1 with the front door open to reveal a preferred arrangement of the invention.
  • Figure 3 is an enlarged and fragmentary cross-sectional view of the jamb region of the safe of FIG. 1 , taken along the line 3-3 thereof .
  • a fire-resistant safe 10 as schematically illustrated in the drawings, includes a double-walled body 1 1 and a double-walled front door 12 mounted on hinges 13. Although the invention is illustrated as applied to safe 10, it can also be applied to a fire- resistant chest with a top opening lid or door and to a fire-resistant cabinet or container, such as a file drawer. All of these include a fire-resistant insulation material 15 arranged around an interior of body 1 1 and within door 12 for protecting the contents within the interior of body 1 1 from the effects of a fire exterior of body 1 1.
  • Resin walls preferably extend throughout an inner wall 16 of body 1 1 and along an inner wall 18 of door 12. Resin inner body wall 16 provides a water-resistant shell around the protected interior chamber; and this shell is closed by resin inner wall 18 of door 12, which is also preferably water resistant. A seal between the door and body jambs then completes a water-resistant enclosure around the safe's interior. Resin walls can also extend over the exterior of body 11 and door 12, although these can be made of other materials.
  • Door jamb 20 extends between an outer wall 17 and inner wall 18 of door 12 and is preferably nonlinear in cross section.
  • Body jamb 30 similarly extends between an outer wall 19 and an inner wall 16 of body 1 1 and is correspondingly non-linear in cross section.
  • the door jamb has a surface 21 that confronts and is parallel with a body jamb surface 31 .
  • Jamb surfaces 21 and 31 are also preferably parallel with a plane of door 12 when door 12 is closed.
  • Compressible seal 25 is mounted on either door jamb surface 21 or body jamb surface 31 so as to be compressed between these surfaces when door 12 closes. Arranging jamb surfaces 21 and 31 to be parallel with a plane of a closed door avoids subjecting seal 25 to shear forces as door 12 closes.
  • seal 25 is arranged on door jamb 20, but can just as well be arranged on body jamb surface 31 . Either way, resin jamb surfaces are accurately disposed for mounting and compressing seal 25 for effective water sealing.
  • a preferred way of mounting seal 25 is with a pressure- sensitive adhesive.
  • Seal 25 preferably extends around the entire perimeter of the door and body jamb region so as to leave no unsealed gap when door 12 is closed.
  • Seal 25 can be die cut in a shape that fits around jamb surfaces 21 and 31 or can be formed as a long narrow strip that is secured in place to extend completely around the jamb.
  • Seal 25 is preferably formed of a foamed resin or elastomeric material that is compressible so that it engages a confronting surface and is compressed between the confronting surface and the mounting surface when door 12 closes.
  • Seal 25 is preferably mounted inward from the outer perimeter of jamb regions 20 and 30, since this offers several advantages. Disposing seal 25 inward from the outer periphery of jamb regions 20 and 30 helps ensure that seal 25 survives a fire intact. This is possible because of the poor heat conductivity of resin jamb walls leading from a high temperature exterior inward to the location of seal 25. Also, resin jamb walls 20 and 30 fuse together in a fire, preferably in a fusion region outboard of seal 25. Such a fusion of jamb walls 20 and 30 further protects seal 25 from the heat of a fire so that its water-resistant capability can survive a fire. This can be valuable in resisting damage from water used in fighting a fire in which safe 10 is located.
  • Seal 25 can also resist water damage from flood or storm that is not accompanied by a fire. For that purpose, location of seal 25 inward from the outer periphery of jamb regions 20 and 30 is not important.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un réceptacle résistant au feu (10), ce réceptacle présentant une porte (12) qui donne accès à une chambre protégée (14). Cette porte comprend un joint hermétique (25), permettant audit réceptacle de résister à la fois au feu et à l'eau. Les montants (20, 30) de la porte et du réceptacle, ainsi que l'intérieur (16) de celui-ci, sont constitués de parois de résine à base d'un matériau isolant résistant au feu (15), destiné à recouvrir ladite chambre protégée. Le joint hermétique est monté sur l'une des surfaces des montants (21) de la porte faisant face, une fois la porte fermée, à une surface parallèle des montants (21) du réceptacle, de sorte que ce joint hermétique est comprimé entre ces deux montants. Les montants en résine coopèrent avec ce joint tout en le protégeant, permettant ainsi au réceptacle de résister au feu et à l'eau.
