The invention relates to packaging (10) for the cooled storage of at least one product (12), with (a) an outer casing (14) that comprises (i) a base (22) and (ii) at least three walls (24), (b) an inner compartment (16) for accommodating the product (12) and (c) a coolant compartment (18) that (i) surrounds the inner compartment (16) on at least three sides and (ii) is water-tight, wherein (d) the outer casing (14) surrounds the coolant compartment (18) and wherein (e) the outer casing (14) and the inner compartment (16) are designed in such a way that the coolant compartment (18) is watertight and can be filled with water such that, after the water freezes, the water cools the products (12) in the inner compartment (16).

An insulated food container and platter are provided, The device includes a base having a perimeter wail extending upwardly therefrom and an open upper end defining an interior volume for storing food. The perimeter wail includes an interior layer and an exterior layer defining an interior channel. The perimeter wall further includes an aperture with a removable plug, such that the interior channel can be filled with a freezable gel material. The perimeter wall extends upwardly and inwardly to form an upper region that receives air bubbles that escape the freezable gel. in use, the device can be stored in the freezer and then used to keep food at a lower temperature.

A portable thermal insulated apparatus for cooling or heating items stored therein. The thermal insulated apparatus includes a container having a lid that removably secures to an open first end thereof and a reservoir unit that removably secures to an open second end. The container includes an inner tube and an outer tube forming an insulated double-wall sealed at both ends in which the lid and reservoir unit can be connected thereto. The reservoir unit removably receives a thermal unit that provides cooling or heating to the contents of the container when affixed thereto. The thermal unit is separable from the reservoir unit, such that the thermal units are interchangeable as needed. In some embodiments, the thermal unit is directly securable to the lid and the second end of the container is permanently sealed.

A storage container having a basin defining an interior space, and comprising two or more partition walls; a freezer partition wall defining a freezer compartment, a chill partition wall defining a chilled compartment, a cooling chamber being defined between said partition walls, wherein each of said partition walls are configured, when a cooling medium is received within said cooling chamber, for allowing airflow therethrough to its respective compartment, thereby maintaining a temperature difference between said freezer compartment and chilled compartment.

A float with a beverage holder cooler has two (2) interior voids configured for ice storage within the cooler separated by a central wall. The voids are accessed by a common side wall which is securable in a closed position by a strap and a fastener. A beverage container holding aperture is disposed within the top center face of the cooler and extends into the common side wall.

The present invention provides a thermally insulated shipping container 1 comprising a thermally insulating layer 5 defining a first void, a main layer 9, 10, 11 containing phase change material (main PCM layer) within the first void and defining a second void within the first void, a barrier layer 12 containing phase change material (barrier PCM layer) within the second void and distinct from the main PCM layer, the barrier PCM layer 12 defining a third void within the second void, the container being arranged to receive a product for transportation inside of the third void, wherein the main PCM layer 9, 10, 11 has an average thickness greater than the average thickness of the barrier PCM layer 12, the barrier PCM layer 12 comprises of an envelope in which the phase change material of the barrier PCM layer 12 is contained and the barrier PCM layer 12 is configured to maintain the phase change material with a relatively even distribution within the envelope.

A refrigerated food storage box has been disclosed. This refrigerated food storage box has an inner box comprising a set of inner walls and an inner base, together enclosing a food storage compartment. There is also an outer box comprising a set of outer walls and an outer base, wherein each outer wall is located at a predetermined distance from a corresponding inner wall and the outer base is located at the predetermined distance from the inner base, thereby creating a thermal cavity between the inner box and the outer box. There is at least one plate-type heat exchanger located within the thermal cavity, wherein each plate-type heat exchanger having a hollow cavity therein. Note that the hollow cavity capable of receiving temperature controlled air from a refrigeration unit, thereby capable of altering the temperature inside the food storage compartment.

A beverage container has a body with a chamber that receives and holds a liquid. The container has circuitry that wirelessly communicates with an electronic device (e.g., smartphone) to receive data corresponding to an amount of a currency. The circuitry also wirelessly communicates with an electronic device (e.g., point of sale reader) to transmit data corresponding to an amount of a currency to make a purchase. The container has one or more batteries that power the circuitry.

An actively heated or cooled food container can have a lid movable between an open and a closed position and an insulated body to which the lid can be attached. The insulated body can have a sidewall that defines a perimeter of the container body and a base, the sidewall and base defining one or more chambers that can be sealed by the lid. The food container can have a temperature control system that can include one or more heating or cooling elements in thermal communication with one or both of the sidewall and the base and operable to heat or cool one or both of the sidewall and the base to thereby heat or cool the one or more chambers in the food container.
