<p>A fire-resistant case for protecting electronic storage media includes a main body (10) and lid (12), each of which is assembled from a pair of subassemblies (14, 16 and 34, 36). The outer subassemblies (16, 36) of the lid and main body are made from an integral resin body having inner (26, 50), outer (28, 52), and intermediate (30, 54) shells for encasing a layer of water-bearing material (32, 56). The outer shells (28, 52) form the outer skin of the case, the inner shells (26, 50) form a moisture-resistant layer, and the intermediate shells (30, 54) form an outer seal between the main body and lid. The inner subassembly (14) of the main body is built up from an inner repository (18) of heat-conducting material, slabs of phase-changing material (20), and a foam insulation (22) that encases the inner repository and phase-changing material. The foam insulation (22) is formed as a self-skinning foam for forming a part of an inner seal (24) between the main body and lid. An inner subassembly (34) of the lid is constructed in a variety of ways consistent with the purposes of the other named layers of the case.</p> |
