A system for maintaining a temperature within a cooler is disclosed. In one embodiment, the cooler can include an outer shell comprising an insulating material. The cooler can also include a temperature retention insert resting inside the outer shell. In another embodiment, the cooler can include an outer shell and an isolation chamber with one or more vertical support strips. In another embodiment, a cooler can comprise an outer shell with multiple grooves in the inner wall of the outer shell wherein the grooves can secure one or more temperature retention blocks.

A container (100), such as a cooler, has a center section (108), a bottom section, and a cover or lid. The center section has a plurality of outer walls (202) and a plurality of partial columns (210). Each outer wall has an inner surface (206), an outer surface (202), a top surface, a thickness, and a plane (204, 208) defined by the outer surface. Each partial column has an inner surface (214), an outer surface (212), a top surface (218), and a thickness, and defines a corner angle (216), such as approximately 90 degrees. The partial columns alternate with the outer walls, and the outer surface of a partial column extends beyond the plane of an adjacent outer wall. The center section and the bottom section are a unitary structure formed of a flexible insulating material, such as an EVA foam.

An insulated container assembly includes an outer box defining a box cavity; and an insulated insert positioned within the box cavity, the insulated insert including a pair of opposing side panels including a first side panel and a second side panel; and a pair of opposing main panels including a first main panel and a second main panel, the first main panel connected to the first side panel by a first crease line, the second main panel connected to the first side panel by a second crease line, the second main panel connected to the second side panel by a third crease line, the pair of opposing side panels and the pair of opposing main panels defining a top end and a bottom end of the insulated insert, the first crease line, the second crease line, and the third crease line extending from the top end to the bottom end.

An insulated bag reduces heat exchange between temperature-sensitive items and ambient surroundings. The insulated bag has a bag body which can be covered by a bag lid. The bag lid is provided with a first portion of a securing element. The insulated bag is suitable for insertion into an item space of a mobile delivery robot. The mobile robot has a robot lid provided with a complementary second portion of the securing element. After the insulated bag is inserted into the item space, the two portions of the securing element are connected. Thereafter, when the robot lid is opened, the bag lid is also opened, permitting access to its contents.

The present invention relates to the field of the transportation and storage of goods and to a transport and storage system and, in particular, a system for the transportation and storage of goods such as palletized goods and self-standing goods. The present invention seeks to provide a system that can enable goods to be securely and reliably horizontally, vertically and offset stacked, despite different sizes of goods and support members therefor, such as pallets, whereby wasted volumes arising from the presence of irregular loads, pallets or pallets of different levels or different load ratings in storage and transport can be minimized.

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 also prevents 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 impervious to water and other liquids when the closure is sealed.

An insulated bag assembly includes an insulated bag, the insulated bag comprising a pair of opposing main panels, the main panels defined in an insulated blank, the insulated blank comprising an insulation batt, a first sheet, and a second sheet, the insulation batt encapsulated in a blank cavity defined between the first sheet and the second sheet, a blank border extending around a perimeter of the insulated blank, the blank border defined by a perimeter portion of the first sheet being in facing engagement with a perimeter portion of the second sheet, the blank border encompassing the blank cavity and defining an insulated portion of the insulated blank, the insulated bag defining a bag cavity with a bag opening; and an insulated panel, the insulated panel positioned within the bag cavity, the insulated panel forming a seal with the insulated bag.

A soft sided insulated container having a bladder incorporated into a continuous sidewall. The bladder includes a spacer and a mechanism to remove excess air, allowing increased insulative properties and adjusting of the sidewall thickness. A one-way air valve is fluidly coupled to the bladder, allowing an individual to pull air from the bladder.

An insulating device backpack may include an outer shell comprising a first sidewall defining a front portion of the insulating device backpack, a second sidewall and a third sidewall defining side portions of the insulating device backpack, and a fourth sidewall defining a back portion of the insulating device backpack, an inner liner forming a storage compartment, an insulating layer positioned in between the outer shell and the inner liner, a back panel support structure coupled to a reinforcement patch and the fourth sidewall of the outer shell, a pair of shoulder straps coupled to the back panel, an opening configured to allow access to the storage compartment, and a closure adapted to seal the opening.

A method for assembling an insulated bag includes folding a first main panel of a pair of opposing main panels relative to a first side panel of a pair of opposing side panels about a main crease line, the main panels, the side panels, and the main crease line defined in an insulated blank, the insulated blank including an insulation batt, a first sheet, and a second sheet, the insulation batt encapsulated in a blank cavity defined between the first sheet and the second sheet, a blank border extending around a perimeter of the insulated blank, the insulated blank defining a first end and a second end; attaching the first end to the second end; and forming a bottom panel of the insulated bag by folding a portion of the bottom panel relative to the main panel about a bottom crease line.
