Fireproof safe with metal walls and thermoplastic fill material
A newly filed patent (Publication Number: US20240035330A1) describes a unique safe design comprising an inner cuboid nested within an outer cuboid, both made of metal, with an intermediate space filled with a coarse aggregate and a fill material. The fill material has a lower melting point than the metal, allowing for easy removal of the contents by heating the fill material. The safe includes a door providing access to the inner cavity and can be assembled from distinct sides, with passages for document transfer and a size suitable for holding currency-related equipment.
Furthermore, the patent details a method for constructing the safe, involving forming inner and outer cuboids from sheet steel, filling the intermediate space with coarse aggregate and a fill material, and providing a door for access to the inner cavity. The fill material, such as aluminum or a thermoplastic polymer, can be heated to remove the contents, making it a secure yet accessible storage solution. The method allows for customization of the safe's dimensions and materials, catering to various applications such as currency dispensing kiosks.
