  • Publication number: 20160060906
    Abstract: A locking bolt retaining mechanism for a safe is provided. The safe includes a door pivotally coupled with an enclosure housing, at least one locking bolt, a lock actuator operationally connected with the locking bolt to move it between extended and retracted positions, and a lock for preventing the lock actuator from moving the locking bolt to the retracted position. The bolt retaining system comprises a bracket guide including a guide member and an engagement member coupled to the door, and a bracket arm connected to the locking bolt. The bracket arm is slidably disposed between the guide member and engagement member of the bracket guide. Upon occurrence of an engagement event, the bracket arm engages the engagement member of the bracket guide to prevent the locking bolt from moving from the extended position thereby preventing disengagement of the locking bolt from the at least one bolt receiving aperture.

  • Patent number: 8861210
    Abstract: A fire resistant enclosure comprising an enclosure base including a base cap and a bucket-style base body is provided. The base body includes a bottom wall with a side wall extending upwardly therefrom defining a base cavity. The side wall includes an upper peripheral edge that defines an opening in the base cavity. A data storage device positioned within the base cavity. Fire resistant insulation material is positioned within the base cavity to encapsulate the data storage device, wherein the insulation material fills the base cavity to a level below the upper peripheral edge, wherein the base cap is configured to be coupled with the base body to enclose the data storage device within the enclosure base. In another aspect, an enclosure base and an enclosure lid may be provided, wherein each include bucket-style bodies. The enclosure base and lid define a storage compartment for the data storage device.

  • Patent number: 8662603
    Abstract: A protective enclosure including a housing defining a door opening is provided. A first flange extends from an opening end of a door and is angled relative to a surface of said door inwardly toward an interior storage space of the enclosure. The first flange and the door surface form an obtuse angle. A second flange extends from a hinge end of the door and is angled relative to the door surface inwardly toward the interior storage space. The second flange and the door surface form an obtuse angle. A hinge pivotally mounts the door with the housing. A locking mechanism selectively locks the door to the housing. The housing includes a channel disposed along at least a portion of the door opening. At least a portion of the first and second flanges are disposed within the channel when the door is closed to resist pry attacks.

  • Patent number: 8570719
    Abstract: A fire resistant enclosure for a data storage device is provided. The enclosure includes an enclosure base comprising a base cap and a base body. The base body includes a bottom wall having a side wall extending upwardly therefrom defining a base cavity. The data storage device is positioned within the cavity. A fire resistant insulation material is positioned within the base cavity to encapsulate the data storage device. The base cap is coupled with the base body to enclose the data storage device within the enclosure base. The insulation material may be in intimate contact with the data storage device, or in contact with a moisture barrier surrounding the data storage device, wherein the insulation material acts as a heat sink for said data storage device to draw heat away from the data storage device to maintain a temperature of the data storage device within an acceptable operating range.

  • Patent number: 8544648
    Abstract: A system for stacking fire-resistant archive boxes on top of one another is provided. Each of the archive boxes comprise an outer shell, an inner shell disposed within the outer shell, a drywall support shell, and a lid. The inner shell has an opening defining a storage compartment, and is spaced apart from the outer shell defining a cavity therebetween. The inner shell includes a bottom wall and side walls. The drywall support shell is disposed within the cavity and surrounds a substantial portion of the inner shell. The lid is configured to be disposed over the opening in the inner shell to selectively enclose the storage compartment. The drywall support shell of the upper archive box is substantially aligned with the drywall support shell of the lower archive box whereby the lower archive box is supportive of the upper archive box.
