ABSTRACT:
A transport apparatus, for hauling data storage media requiring environmental protection to and from a permanent storage site, includes a portable transport module and a transport cart. The transport module includes an insulated housing having guides for receiving shelves adapted to hold motion picture films, audio and video tapes, and photography film and provide ready access to and protection against movement during transit. A thermoelectric heat pump assembly heats or cools the interior of the insulated housing. A temperature sensor and a humidity sensor in the housing produce temperature and humidity measurement signals. Connectors are provided to connect power to the thermoelectric heat pump assembly and to output the temperature and humidity measuring signals. An ancillary power supply and control system are included to operate the transport module when separated from the transport cart. The transport cart has a platform with tie down cleats, wheels attached to the platform, wheel locks for securing the transport cart against rolling, a rechargeable battery power pack and compartment, connectors corresponding to the connectors of the transport module connect the rechargeable battery power pack to the thermoelectric heat pump assembly and receive the temperature and humidity measuring signals. An upright member of the platform supports a handle for pushing the transport cart and a programmable controller having a processor, time and date clock, memory, display, keypad, and timers. The programmable controller receiving the temperature and humidity measurement signals and controls the operation of the thermoelectric heat pump assembly for maintaining programmed temperatures during programmed time periods.
