A transport container has an outer container with a bottom, two sets of side walls and at least one lid. Vacuum insulation panels are arranged on the inside of the outer container, at least on the side walls. First vacuum insulation panels on first side walls which are located opposite one another, abut at the edges against inside surfaces of second vacuum insulation panels on second side walls, which are located opposite one another and on the bottom. The first vacuum insulation panels are realized as planar rectangular-shaped vacuum insulation panels with a thickness D. The second vacuum panels are realized as panels with a sealing edge that comprises a certain residual width B. The thickness D is greater than the residual width B. The edges of the first vacuum insulation panels cover the sealing edges of the second vacuum insulation panels and otherwise abut against adjoining planar surfaces of the second vacuum insulation panels.

The invention aims to provide a heat-storage material which can prevent supercooling.

The heat-storage material according to the invention includes: a heat-storage substance which reversibly changes between an aqueous solution containing tetraalkylammonium salt and a clathrate hydrate containing the tetraalkylammonium salt as a guest molecule; and alum which is added to the aqueous solution containing tetraalkylammonium salt. Tetrabutylammonium bromide is used as the tetraalkylammonium salt. Potassium alum or ammonium alum is used as the alum.

Container for aquatic plants, which can be filled with water, the side walls and bottom of which comprise an outer wall and a bottom wall, respectively, in each instance, followed, toward the interior of the container, by an intermediate layer that consists of an insulating material. On the inside of the container, the insulating material is completely covered with a water-tight plastic film, in the manner of a tub, or by a water-tight basin composed of transparent glass. On the bottom of the tub or of the basin and/or in a plant pot situated in the container, there is a plant culture medium that makes growth of aquatic plants possible, and preferably winter-hardy and/or non-winter-hardy aquatic plants are disposed in the container, which is filled with water.

The invention, a compact container for mounting to a golf cart, has a box like body with an open top end and a pocket in the back wall that cooperates with a bracket mounted to a golf cart for selectively supporting the container. The invention includes a cover having a flat top wall and a pair of opposing side flaps that extend over the side walls of the body to form a pivotal connection for movement about a first axis of rotation between a closed and an opened position of the container. A U-shaped handle extends over opposing side walls of the body to form a pivotal connection along a second axis of rotation for movement between a raised position and a stowed position of the handle. The first axis is disposed approximately halfway between the second axis and the back wall of the container wherein the top wall of the cover, in the opened position, is flush with, and substantially overlaps, the back wall of the body. Thus, the clearance required for the container is minimized for mounting within the restricted space available on a golf cart.

The present invention relates to a shipping container for mitigating external fire risks. The shipping container is configured for shipping lithium ion batteries with a cargo cavity proximate and interior to a second inner flame-retardant corrugated layer. The second inner flame-retardant corrugated layer is proximate and interior to an inner thermal paste panel. The inner thermal paste panel is proximate and interior to a dead air space panel. The dead air space panel is proximate and interior to a first inner flame-retardant corrugated layer. The first inner flame-retardant corrugated layer is proximate and interior to an outer thermal paste panel. The outer thermal paste panel is proximate and interior to a flame-retardant corrugated carton. The thermal paste panels preferably comprise aluminum flashing containing a mesh matrix for holding flowable thermal paste. The shipping container is lidded by a fitted cap above an air cap above a vacuum plenum cap.

Insulated paper products are disclosed. Methods of making and using insulated paper products are also disclosed.

An insulated container having a canister can be sealed by a lid structure. The lid structure can be a multi-part insulated lid. The lid can include a vent configured to vent air from inside the canister. In addition, the container may be part of a container kit or container system where one or more inner containers, are nested and secured within the insulated container.

The present disclosure concerns a thermal liner comprising an inner member comprising two sheets and a core sandwiched between said two sheets, the core comprising a geometrically patterned structure extending transversally between said two sheets; an inner ply covering at least partially the inner member; and an outer ply covering at least partially the inner ply. The outer ply is unattached to the inner ply at least along a section thereof so as to define therewith a ply-delimited air circulation gap inbetween. It concerns also a thermal container comprising a thermal liner assembly comprising such a thermal liner and configurable into an operative configuration defining an inner chamber.

It is desired to make an improved lid suitable for pails, overcoming the problem of existing complexities and leaks. The invention is achieved by a lid (300) having a lid skirt (320) provided with an inner collar (328) that engages an outer collar (222) of a sidewall (220) of a pail (200), the lid skirt (320) being provided with a fastening mechanism (330) for tightening the inner collar (328) around the sidewall (220) below the outer collar (222). Corresponding to the lid (300) a pail (200) is provided having a simplified structure that is supported mechanically by the lid (300). Furthermore, a thermally insulated compound pail is disclosed, the compound pail comprising a first inner pail (200) that is inserted into a second outer pail (200) such that a space (404) is formed between said pails (200).

The invention consists of a cooler system entailing a foamed polymer body coated in a layer of elastomer and secured with a strap system. The body of the cooler consists of a base which serves as a container for beverages or other products as well as a lid, designed to fit the base such that it can only be removed by lifting upward. The foamed polymer provides insulation and structure while the elastomer coating and the straps provide increased durability and functionality. The body of the cooler contains grooves in which the straps are housed in order to secure the lid. The strap system also provides a means for carrying the invention as an anchoring place for handles. The resulting cooler system is lightweight and durable as well as inexpensive to construct.
