ABSTRACT:
A container structure for a dangerous material. An inner container defines a chamber for receiving the dangerous material, an outer container surrounds the inner container, and a fluid chamber is disposed between the inner and outer containers. A body of non flammable liquid is disposed in and completely fills the fluid chamber, and the body of liquid is substantially confined in the fluid chamber. A vent space is disposed between the inner and outer containers in the area above the fluid chamber. The outer container has a bottom wall that is adapted to slidably engage a support surface so that the container structure can slide on the support surface in response to an external impact overcoming its inertia. The inner container is supported essentially by the body of liquid in the fluid chamber, and the body of liquid, being substantially confined in the fluid chamber, distributes impact forces applied to the outer container over a large area of the inner container, thus minimizing damage to the inner container in response to an external impact, and allowing the container structure to slide as a solid body on the support surface in response to an external impact that overcomes its inertia.
