A container includes an outer box, and a polygonal liner located within the outer box. The polygonal liner has a plurality of vertical walls. A continuous length of wire is located within the polygonal liner and forms a plurality of layers. Each of the layers is comprised of a series of wire loops arrayed polygonally along the vertical walls of the polygonal liner.

A coil winding apparatus includes: a cylindrical core rod nozzle configured to allow insertion of a narrowed core rod; a wire rod feeding unit configured to feeding a wire rod to the core rod nozzle; a wire rod holding tool configured to hold the wire rod fed from the wire rod feeding unit; a core rod winding unit configured to wind the wire rod drawn from the wire rod feeding unit by rotating the wire rod holding tool around the core rod nozzle; a core rod drawing unit configured to draw the core rod from the core rod nozzle; and a coil drawing unit configured to draw a wound wire formed by winding the wire rod on an outer periphery of the core rod nozzle from the core rod nozzle.

The present invention includes systems, assemblies, and methodologies for inhibiting combustion within fluid containers, enhancing the safety of such containers. One aspect includes a novel base module from which assemblies of varying shape and size, suitable for disposing within a variety of different fluid containers, are created. In one embodiment, the base module is made from an expanded mesh which is rolled in a novel cylindrical configuration according to a novel methodology. In another embodiment, the base module may be combined with other base modules to form an assembly. The present invention is also directed to an apparatus and method for creating base modules which allows for varying density of the base modules and therefore varying flexural strength and rigidity of the assemblies. As such, the packing density of assemblies within containers may be optimized to produce the desired effect of inhibiting combustion within the container.

A method for coiling a metal strip that is heat-treated in a furnace immediately before coiling and fed to a coiler at an outlet speed, and then coiled at the coiler at an elevated temperature. The future outlet speed of the metal strip and the heat losses from the metal strip between the furnace and the coiler are calculated via a predictive model and the furnace is controlled by the predictive model such that the metal strip is coiled at a pre-defined temperature within a maximum deviation of +/5 C.
