An insulating transport/storage container for transporting/storing temperature sensitive materials, with a generally tubular wall element defining a load volume between first and second apertures at either end thereof, the tubular wall element having an axis. First and second closures operate to close first and second apertures and fastening means operable to secure said first and second closures. The tubular wall element comprises a multiple-layer winding of single-sided corrugated sheet, with the layers coupled together whereby to define a high level of thermal resistance; and, wherein, upon securement by way of the fastening means, the closures are brought together with respect to the tubular wall element at the ends thereof about mutually contacting areas.

The invention relates to a thermally insulated transport box and an arrangement in a thermally insulated transport box, wherein the box comprises a cover and a box body. The box body side walls, end walls, an opening and a bottom wall. The inner surfaces of the side walls comprise half columns projecting from the side wall, wherein the inner surfaces of the end walls further comprise half columns projecting from the end wall, and the half columns run vertically along the side walls and along the end walls. The box further comprises at least one partition wall comprising notches in its opposing edges, and as the partition wall is positioned to cover at least part of the opening the partition wall is supported by the half columns.

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 space the payload container from one or more of the heat transfer elements, or the spacers may space the heat transfer elements from an inside surface of the shipping container, or the spacers space multiple heat transfer elements from one another. 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 of packing a shipping container with the system and/or kit components. Further provided are products that include any one or more of the described elements, such as the unique shuttle horizontal spacers provided herein; and fully assembled shipping containers.

The present invention is directed to a thermally controlled container for holding consumable products, said container including: a body having one or more soft or flexible layers, the body configured to define a cavity for receiving said consumable products; a lid having one or more soft or flexible layers, the lid configured to co-operate with said body to close the cavity; and at least one packet member having thermally sensitive material retained therein; at least one of the body or lid including an outer layer of soft sheet material, an intermediate layer of flexible insulative material and an inner layer of soft sheet material; and a pocket formed between the inner layer of soft sheet material and the intermediate layer of flexible insulative material, the pocket defining an enclosed space into which the at least one packet member is received.

The present disclosure relates to a portable cold storage box having at least six identical square cold storage pieces capable of being put together to form a cuboid or cubic box. A through-hole is provided in the middle of each square cold storage piece. The periphery of each through-hole has one surface formed with a recess and an opposite surface formed with a step-shaped protrusion which can be snapped in a corresponding recess. Engageable tooth-shaped teeth are formed on opposite sides of the square cold storage pieces. A refrigerant is stored inside the square cold storage pieces in a sealed manner. The portable cold storage box of the present disclosure is advantageous in that it does not require a power source. It is easy to assemble, and after disassembling, the disassembled pieces can be quickly stacked up without being scattered around.

A container includes a container body including an inner wall and an outer wall, wherein the inner and outer walls are spaced apart and vacuum sealed, and wherein the container body includes an open end. A lid includes an upper portion with a threaded surface.

There is provided improved utilisation of the cooling capacity in dry ice. An apparatus comprises at least one sealed container for dry ice enclosed within another sealed container, wherein the at least one sealed container for dry ice is operatively connected to a storage container for cooling the storage container to a target temperature or to a target temperature range by sublimed dry ice from the at least one sealed container for dry ice, and the at least one sealed container for dry ice is operatively connected to said another sealed container for conducting sublimed dry ice from the at least one sealed container for dry ice to said another sealed container, when the target temperature of the storage container is met.

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.

A reusable, substantially airtight, and insulated container system, assembly and method include detachable assembled top, side, and bottom panels to enclose a plurality of pallets of chilled, perishable products for transport. The top panel includes a plurality of pouches positioned within horizontal chambers within the inside top panel surface. Hook and loop closures secure and seal the panel assemblies. Thermoplastic polyurethane nylon fabric panel inner and outer surfaces are bonded to an internal insulation layer with thermal-welded edges. The system, assembly, and method include internal temperature control elements for a real time thermostatically controlled container environment protecting chilled products housed within the cover assembly during transport. An embodiment of the cover assembly is configured to a standard LD-7 air transport container base pallet, providing a thermostatically controlled container environment of approximately 745 cubic feet. The assembled top, side, and bottom panels are collapsible for easy storage and transport when not in use.

A thermal conditioning wall panel 10 for use in a thermally insulating container comprises a panel body (22) having a channel (26) formed therein along one face thereof for receiving one or more thermal conditioning elements (12). At least one foot (32) is formed at the lower end of the body (22) for engagement within a socket provided on the thermally insulating container. The panel further comprises thermal conditioning element retaining elements (40) provided adjacent the longitudinal edges (29) of the channel (26), the retaining elements (40) projecting over a peripheral portion of the channel (26) for retaining the thermal conditioning elements (12) within the channel (26).
