Cooler composed by an outer tank, within which a cooling tank and a useful tank are housed, among which there is an array of thermal energy accumulators, and within the tank useful there are temperature compensation chambers.

A container apparatus can include a container and an insert assembly. The insert assembly can include four elongate members. The four elongate members can include light emitting devices for illuminating the interior of the container and/or temperature altering elements for cooling and/or heating the interior of the container. The container can have a rectangular base and a rectangular sidewall extending upwardly from the base. The sidewall can define four corners of the container, and four elongate recesses can be formed in the sidewall proximate the four corners of the sidewall to receive the elongate light members. The recesses can be sized and shaped to conform to the elongate insert members so that the insert members can be releasably retained within the elongate recesses.

A low-temperature storage system 100 is provided, which can, with a simple structure, minimize heat transfer into the low-temperature storage chamber, reduce the operation noise, allow easy positioning of a reciprocating part inside the low-temperature storage chamber, and preclude device bulkiness outside the low-temperature storage chamber. The low-temperature storage system 100 includes a low-temperature storage chamber 110, and a transfer mechanism 120. The transfer mechanism 120 includes an in-storage unit 121 and an external unit 140. The in-storage unit 121 includes a reciprocating part 122 that holds the storage objects C, a turn guide 126 that guides the reciprocating part 122, and a lift member 131 that causes the reciprocating part 122. The external unit 140 includes a torque transmission part 141, a lift transmission part 147, and a detachable moving part 150 that drives the torque transmission part 141 and lift transmission part 147.

A refrigeration apparatus (10) is configured to be shipped in generally flat boxes and assembled near a location of use. A plurality of enclosure panels (12) bound an interior area (15). A cover panel (18) including a door (22) closes a top of the interior area. A platform panel (30) including an evaporator (32) closes the interior area at an end opposed of the cover panel. The platform which includes heat transfer components is supported on a base (52) with casters (60) that facilitate the movement of the apparatus.

The heat insulation door of a refrigeration appliance has a door body. The door body includes a heat insulation glass module with at least two layers of glass plates disposed with an interval; a doorframe that surrounds the heat insulation glass module and that includes a rear frame portion located at the back of the heat insulation glass module, and a door sealing strip connected to the back of the rear frame portion. The doorframe further has an enclosed heat insulation cavity, wherein the heat insulation cavity is located between the door sealing strip and the heat insulation glass module along a front-to-rear direction or located on the inner side of the door sealing strip in a direction parallel to the door body. The present invention can improve the heat insulation effect of the refrigeration appliance.

A container apparatus can include a container and an insert assembly. The insert assembly can include four elongate members. The four elongate members can include light emitting devices for illuminating the interior of the container and/or temperature altering elements for cooling and/or heating the interior of the container. The container can have a rectangular base and a rectangular sidewall extending upwardly from the base. The sidewall can define four corners of the container, and four elongate recesses can be formed in the sidewall proximate the four corners of the sidewall to receive the elongate light members. The recesses can be sized and shaped to conform to the elongate insert members so that the insert members can be releasably retained within the elongate recesses.

An assembly comprises an enclosure (10) including an enclosure interior (12) configured to retain articles therein. An electrically conductive means (30) can electrically connect the enclosure (10) to a source of electrical power (31) for providing electrical energy to the enclosure (10) for application to an operation that relies on electric energy for its performance and takes place at the enclosure interior (12). The assembly includes a light source (16), the position of which is adjustable so as to illuminate any selected one of a plurality of locations within the enclosure interior (12). An electrically conductive line (17) is electrically configured to be connected at the enclosure (10) to the source of electrical power (31) and connected to the light source (16) for providing electrical energy to the light source (16).

A closure mechanism for locking a lid of a storage receptacle, such as a portable cooler, in a closed position. The closure mechanism includes an elongated rail attached to an outer surface of the storage receptacle. The closure mechanism further includes a flexible member having a first end fixedly attached to the lid of the storage receptacle. Disposed on the second end of the flexible member is a catch having a first tab and a second tab. The first tab and the second tab are each configured and dimensioned to selectively engage channels in the elongated rail.

An exemplary modular container system is provided that includes couplings that may, in one embodiment, be implemented as integrated or interfaced receptacles and corresponding inserts that allow accessory items to couple with a compartment, which may be referred to as a wet box, and used as a container that holds items. The accessories may include, for example, a second compartment or dry box for holding items that need to be kept dry, a fishing rod holder, a shelf, a cutting board, a cup holder, a chair or seating platform, one or more dollies, or virtually any needed accessory.

A refrigerator appliance includes a cabinet defining multiple food storage chambers which are operable at distinct temperatures. The refrigerator appliance includes a cabinet comprising a plurality of insulated mullions. The insulated mullions at least partially define a fresh food chamber, a freezer chamber, a convertible chamber, and a plenum. The refrigerator appliance also includes a first damper selectively providing fluid communication between the fresh food chamber and the plenum, a second damper selectively providing fluid communication between the freezer chamber and the plenum, and a fan disposed between the convertible chamber and the plenum. The fan is configured to force air from the plenum into the convertible chamber.
