VACUUM STORAGE APPARATUS WITH SLIDING DRAWERS

摘要

The present invention features an apparatus for storing, preserving and dispensing perishable and degradable food and goods. A housi is provided, in which at least one modular unit is disposed. Physically removed from the modular unit is a vacuum pump for creating partial vacuum therein. Optionally provided are a temperature control device to create and maintain a range of temperatures; a humidi control device to create and maintain a humidity range; and, a gas sourcing system to create and maintain various gas environments within the modular unit(s). The modular unit can be a slidable drawer. Moreover, more than one drawer can be provided, each drawer stacked above one another, with or without a housing, and all of the drawers being operatively connected to the vacuum pump, and optionally connected to the temperature control unit (only provided for the closed housing), the gas sourcing system and the humidity control device.
