A safety cabinet can include an enclosure defining an interior compartment accessible through an opening. The safety cabinet includes an interior lighting system. The interior lighting system can include at least one of an illuminating light to enable viewing to cabinet contents and an ultraviolet light configured to disinfect the interior compartment of the safety cabinet. To provide electrical power to the interior lighting system, the safety cabinet includes an electrical connection disposed through the enclosure. The electrical connection can include at least one of a bulkhead connector and an intumescent socket.
A safety cabinet includes an enclosure and at least one door to selectively seal the enclosure. The safety cabinet can be used to store, for example, flammable liquids, flammable waste, corrosives, pesticides, or combustible waste. The safety cabinet incorporates a thermally-actuated damper that includes a body, a valve plate, and a pivot assembly. The valve plate is disposed within the passage of the body such that the valve plate is movable between an open position and a closed position. The pivot assembly includes a biasing system adapted to bias the valve plate to the closed position and a fusible link interconnected between the body and the biasing system to constrain the valve plate from moving from the open position to the closed position. The fusible link is configured to melt at a predetermined temperature to thereby allow the biasing system to move the valve plate to the closed position.
A puncturing device for pressurized containers comprises an elongated housing member defining an elongated cavity with openings at first and second ends thereof for receiving an inverted pressurized container at the first end, the housing member including an attachment member for securing the second end of the housing member to a collection receptacle. A non-sparking puncturing member, is mounted within the housing member for piercing a nozzle-end of the pressurized container at its domed top. A counter records each action of the puncture pin. Gases and residual contents are released into the receptacle through the hollow core of the puncture pin. An auxiliary support member is mounted on the housing member for stabilizing relative movement between the housing member and the receptacle. A force-applying apparatus is mounted on the housing member for forcing the pressurized container onto the puncture pin.
B67B 7/48 - Cutting devices, i.e. devices including at least one cutting element having one or more cutting edges for piercing through the wall of a closed container, e.g. can openers punch type, i.e. the cutting element including at least one sharp cutting edge adapted to pierce through the container wall in, ordinarily, a single operating stroke
B65F 1/12 - Refuse receptacles with devices facilitating emptying
B67B 7/60 - Cutting devices, i.e. devices including at least one cutting element having one or more cutting edges for piercing through the wall of a closed container, e.g. can openers having force multiplying means employed to relatively turn the container and cutting element about a fixed point to force the cutting element to traverse the container
B67C 9/00 - Emptying bottles, jars, cans, casks, barrels, or similar containers, not otherwise provided for
A modular storage structure can be constructed from a number of modular wall panels and modular roof panels. Multiple modular wall panels can be joined to form a wall system of the storage structure. The wall panels can be serially connected together such that a J-shaped interlock member of one panel is in abutting relationship with a corresponding J-shaped interlock member of another wall panel to define a series of wall stud assemblies adapted to receive fasteners for joining wall layers. The roof panels can be serially connected together in a similar fashion. In embodiments, the storage structure can be constructed such that it meets the predetermined requirements for a fire rating (e.g. a 2-hour or a 4-hour fire rating).
A safety cabinet includes an enclosure having a double-walled construction and a pair of doors to selectively seal the enclosure. The safety cabinet can be used to store, for example, flammable liquids, flammable waste, corrosives, pesticides, or combustible waste. The safety cabinet incorporates a sequential door-closing system that sequentially closes the doors of the safety cabinet in a predetermined order.
E05C 7/04 - Fastening devices specially adapted for two wings for wings which abut when closed
A62C 3/06 - Fire prevention, containment or extinguishing specially adapted for particular objects or places of highly inflammable material, e.g. light metals, petroleum products
A safety cabinet is disclosed which includes an enclosure having a double-wall construction and at least one door to selectively seal the enclosure. The safety cabinet includes a latch system for selectively retaining the door(s) in a closed position to cover the enclosure. The safety cabinet can be used to store, for example, flammable liquids, flammable waste, corrosives, pesticides, or combustible waste. The latch system includes fusible links that fuse when exposed to high ambient temperatures and cause the latch system to further engage the enclosure, thereby promoting the interlocking relationship between the door(s) and the enclosure when the safety cabinet is exposed to threshold high ambient temperatures.
A safety can (100) for storing and dispensing liquids includes a receptacle (102, 104, 106) and a valve mechanism (200). The valve mechanism (200) can include a body (202), a fill cover (204) assembly, a pour valve assembly (206), and a trigger assembly (208). The body (202) can be mounted to the receptacle and include a fill port (220) and a separate pour port (224). The fill cover (204) assembly can be pivotally mounted to the body (202) and adapted to selectively cover the fill port (220). An operating lever (219) can be provided to move the fill cover (204) assembly to an open position to allow the safety can (100) to be filled. The pour valve assembly (206) can be movably mounted to the body (202) and be disposed therein. The pour valve assembly (206) selectively covers the pour port (224). The trigger assembly (208) can be operated to pour fluid from the can (100). The pour valve (206) and the pour port (224) can be disposed along a longitudinal pour axis (260) of the valve body (202). The fill port (220) can be disposed in offset relationship (D) to the longitudinal pour axis (260).
B67D 3/00 - Apparatus or devices for controlling flow of liquids under gravity from storage containers for dispensing purposes
B67D 7/04 - Apparatus or devices for transferring liquids from bulk storage containers or reservoirs into vehicles or into portable containers, e.g. for retail sale purposes for transferring fuels, lubricants or mixed fuels and lubricants
