Abstract

A fire-resistant container for magnetic media is constructed by mounting a base of thermal insulation material within a casing having an open face and by positioning on the base and securing to the base a body of thermal insulation material so as to define with the base a cavity which is open towards the open face of the casing. An inner container is positioned within the cavity so as to have an opening towards the open face of the casing and has an inner wall defining a storage cavity and an outer wall which defines a chamber filled with heat absorbing material between the inner and outer walls. A storage drawer is inserted into the storage cavity and has attached thereto a container located on that side of the drawer adjacent to the opening, the container being filled with a heat absorbing material. A layer of thermal insulation material is positioned on that side of the container remote from the drawer and a facing is located on that side of the layer of insulation material remote from the container.
