1. Field of the Invention
The invention generally relates to a flameproof container for enclosing and protecting small delicate goods.
2. Description of the Related Art
In a fire disaster, small delicate and valuable goods such as cash bills or jewelry are lost because of failure of timely protecting them.
A conventional flameproof container is made of metal. However, it is not very convenient to use and carry due to its heavy weight and high cost.
A waterproof, flameproof and anti-magnetic wave container has been proposed to include a container with a metallic cover and a flameproof layer. However, its heavy weight and high cost still lead to inconvenience in use.
Therefore, there is a need of a flameproof container which has overcome the prior problems.
An object of the invention is to provide a flameproof container with light weight and low cost, which is easy for the user to use and carry.
In order to achieve the above and other objectives of the invention, the flameproof container includes a box body with an accommodation space therein; and a lid covering the box body. The box body and the lid are made of flameproof material and respectively have an inner cushion therein. An outer cladding covers each of the box body and the lid. The outer cladding is a flameproof cloth.
The invention also provides a flameproof container which includes a box body and a lid. The box body has an accommodation space therein. One side of the lid is pivotally connected to one side of the box body. A suspender is connected between the lid and the box body to lead the lid to leave or cover the box body. The box body and the lid are made of flameproof material and respectively have an inner cushion therein. An outer cladding covers each of the box body and the lid. The outer cladding is a flameproof cloth.
The invention further provides the following advantages. The box body and the lid are made of flameproof material, which contribute to light weight and low cost for the flameproof container. Furthermore, tan outer cladding covers each of the box body and the lid, providing further fireproof to the container.
To provide a further understanding of the invention, the following detailed description illustrates embodiments and examples of the invention, this detailed description being provided only for illustration of the invention.
Wherever possible in the following description, like reference numerals will refer to like elements and parts unless otherwise illustrated. Referring to
The box body 11 and the lid 12 respectively have an inner cushion 13 which can be made of any material. An outer cladding 14 cover each of the box body 11 and the lid 12. The outer cladding 14 can be a flameproof cloth. The box body 11 and the lid 12 are made of flameproof material so that the container having the box body 11 and the lid 12 can be flameproof and have light weight and low cost. The flameproof and flameproof cloth utilize the fibers which are hard to be flamed so that they offers features such as long-term flame resistance, no drops when melt, and no toxic smokes. That means the flameproof material and the flameproof cloth stop burning or flaming when the fire source is kept away from them. Commercially available flameproof material is for example acrylic oxide fibers, cotton fibers, polyester fibers, modified acrylic fibers, polyamide fibers, oxidized fibers and the others that shrink, soften, carbonated without generating any black smokes as soon as become close to the fire source. For example, Nomax, Kevlar, Dupon, which tolerates up to 200-3000□. In this embodiment, the inner cushion 13 consists of 20%-50% Nomax flameproof material, tolerating up to 250□. The material used to make the box body 11 and the lid 12 are further breathable and tolerates up to 1000□. The material used to make the outer cladding 14 consists of Nomax material, aluminum, glass fiber, silicon dioxide, which tolerates up to 3000□.
The box body 11 and the lid 12 are made of flameproof material and respectively have an inner cushion therein. The outer cladding 14 is a flameproof cloth, offering the flameproof container a significant anti-fie effect.
It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the above description is only illustrative of specific embodiments and examples of the invention. The invention should therefore cover various modifications and variations made to the herein-described structure and operations of the invention, provided they fall within the scope of the invention as defined in the following appended claims.
