Soft fire safe

Abstract

A soft fire safe includes a storage compartment, insulating layer, outside cover, and insulating plug. The storage compartment preferably includes a storage tube, end plate, and removable end cap. The end plate is attached to one end of the storage tube. The removable end cap is removably attached to the other end of the storage tube. The insulating layer includes a lengthwise insulating layer a stationary end insulating layer, and a movable end insulating layer. The lengthwise insulating layer is wrapped around the storage tube. The insulating layer and storage tube are encapsulated in the outside cover. An opening is formed through one end of the outside cover, adjacent the removable end cap. The insulating plug is sized to be received by the opening. The movable end insulating layer is contained within the insulating plug. An item to be stored is inserted into the storage tube. The removable end cap is attached to the storage tube and the insulating plug is inserted into the soft fire safe behind the removable end cap.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A soft fire safe comprising: 
 a storage compartment having a removable cap, said storage compartment being fabricated from a high heat resistant material;    an insulating layer covering a length and an end opposite said removable cap, said insulating layer being fabricated from a high heat resistant material;    an outside cover encapsulating said insulating layer, an opening being formed in said outside cover at an end adjacent said removable cap; and    an insulating plug being inserted into said opening.    
     
     
         2 . A soft fire safe of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 at least two steel bands being cinched around the perimeter of said insulating layer.    
     
     
         3 . A soft fire safe of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 said storage compartment including a storage tube, an end plate, and said removable cap, said end cap being attached to one end of said storage tube, said removable cap being removably attachable to the open end of said storage tube.    
     
     
         4 . A soft fire safe of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 said insulating layer including a lengthwise insulating layer, a stationary end insulating layer, and a movable end insulating layer, said lengthwise insulating layer being longer than the length of said storage compartment such that said stationary end insulating layers are overlapped, said movable end insulating layer being contained within said insulating plug.    
     
     
         5 . A soft fire safe of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 said outside cover including an outside lengthwise portion, an outside end portion, and an outside removable end portion, said outside end portion being attached to one end of said outside cover, said outside removable portion including a stationary portion and a removable portion, said stationary portion being attached to the open end of said lengthwise portion.    
     
     
         6 . A soft fire safe of  claim 5 , further comprising: 
 said insulating plug including said removable portion, said movable end insulating layer, and a plug cover, said movable end insulating layer being inserted into said plug cover, said removable portion being attached to an open end of said plug cover.    
     
     
         7 . A soft fire safe of  claim 5 , further comprising: 
 said storage compartment being inserted into an inside cover, an open end of said inside cover being attached to said stationary portion.
