An air conditioning lid for use with beverage containers is provided. The lid is designed to cover the open end of a beverage container and to direct ambient air over or through the contents of the beverage container to generate conditioned air. The lid includes a body and a fan. The body is defined by a container engagement portion that engages with the open end of the beverage container and a duct portion that extends downwardly from the container engagement portion. The duct portion defines a first air channel through which ambient air drawn through an intake opening within the container engagement portion by the fan may be directed towards the contents of a beverage container. Conditioned air resulting from an exchange of heat between the ambient air and contents of the beverage container is directed to users via a second air channel within the container engagement portion.

An apparatus for conductive and convective cooling of the liquid contents of bottles in a thermally insulating chest. A plate with spaced holes each for receiving a respective bottle with a gap between each of the bottles and the side of the respective hole. A set of legs for supporting and stabilizing the plate within the chest and crushed ice, ice cubes and the like filling the volume between the plate's support surface, the exposed upper portions of the bottles and the associated sides of the chest. Conductive cooling is attained through direct contact between the bottles and the ice. Convective cooling occurs through the liquid contents of the bottles, the colder, more dense liquids in the upper portions of the bottles flowing down into and displacing the less dense and warmer liquid contents upwardly toward the ice.

The cooler is very efficient at keeping certain food items cooler or at least partially frozen. The standard cooler is ideal for boating trips, camping trips and has been in existence for many years. The one drawback is that as the ice melts in the cooler, food items may become soggy and it is not desirable to store items such as cell phones in a cooler because of the danger of water exposure. With the application a drop liner is incorporated into the cooler that will provide the benefits of the cooler while at the same time allow personal items to be stored in the cooler. The drop liner is removable for easy cleaning.

A multiple temperature storage assembly includes a sleeve that has an opening therein for accessing an interior of the sleeve and to receive food items for storage. The sleeve is comprised of a thermally insulating material to retain the food items at a selected temperature. A door is hingedly coupled to the sleeve for opening and closing the opening. A disk is slidably positioned within the sleeve such that the disk defines an upper section of the sleeve and a lower section of the sleeve. The disk is comprised of a thermally insulating material to inhibit thermal communication between the upper and lower sections. Thus, each of the upper and lower sections can store a respective one of warm food items and cold food items. A tube is slidably coupled to the sleeve. The tube has a chamber therein that is fluidly discrete from the sleeve when the tube is slidably coupled to the sleeve for storing dry objects.

A system and method for a cooler with a barrier. The cooler has an internal void and a barrier located within said void. The barrier has at least one covered opening. The barrier acts as a physical barrier which prevents air from exiting the cooler. A user can retrieve contents through the covered opening. In this manner, the temperature within the cooler is maintained.

An insulating device can include an aperture having a waterproof closure which allows access to the chamber within the insulating device. The closure can help prevent any fluid leakage into and out of the insulating device if the insulating device is overturned or in any configuration other than upright. The closure may also prevent any fluid from permeating into the chamber if the insulating device is exposed to precipitation, other fluid, or submersed under water. This construction results in an insulating chamber that is substantially impervious to water and other liquids when the closure is sealed.

Exemplary embodiments include a device that may serve as a drink dispenser for beverage cans. The device may be shaped like a keg. The device may include a portion to contain, cool, and dispense the beverage cans and a portion to contain ice to provide cooling, as well as contain additional beverage containers. The device may include up to five tubes with each tube capable of containing up to four beverage containers in the form of cans. A dispensing mechanism may be located at the lower end of each tube to dispense the beverage cans form the device. The tube structure may provide for cooling of the beverage containers within each tube. The device may be portable and may have a cart that can be used for transportation of the device. The device may be detachable from the cart.

Disclosed is a beverage dispensing cooler. The beverage dispensing cooler includes a first lid, a second lid, a body, an axle, a handle, multiple hoses and at least one sensor. The body includes a chamber, a panel, a base valve, a wall drain, a primary hose, a flow control unit, a power unit and a dispenser gun. The chamber includes multiple cylinders, multiple pressure compartments and a basin configured to collect water from condensation and melted ice. The axle further includes multiple wheels, a rod and multiple bearings connected to the rod and to the multiple wheels. The handle is configured to facilitate engagement of the beverage dispensing cooler with a hand of a user. Further, the beverage dispensing cooler may include at least one sensor configured to generate at least one sensor data corresponding to at least one variable.

Shipping container systems are provided for shipping a temperature sensitive product or payload. The systems include at least one heat transfer element and a payload container configured to hold payload therein and configured to be positioned within a shipping container; the payload container being spaced from sidewalls of the shipping container. Also included are spacers that may for example, space the payload container from one or more of the heat transfer elements. The spacers are configured to allow air to flow over surfaces of the payload container and heat transfer elements. Also included are kits that include components of the system and methods. Further provided are products that include any one or more of the described elements; and fully assembled shipping containers.

A portable insulated storage container includes an insulated body, an insulated lid, and a retainer. The insulated body has an internal cavity for storing one or more items. The internal cavity is selectively and reversibly configurable into two or more storage areas. The insulated lid engages the insulated body to close the internal cavity. The insulated lid includes receptacles each configured for receiving a cold pack or other thermal device. Each of the receptacles aligns with a respective one of the storage areas when the insulated lid engages the body. The retainer removably retains the cold pack in one of the receptacles.
