THERMOSTATIC CONTAINER
Provided is a thermostatic container that improves both the communication radio wave transmissivity and keeping cold performance of a thermostatic container. A thermostatic container includes: a vacuum heat insulating container; a vacuum heat insulating lid configured to close the vacuum heat insulating container; a box body housed inside the vacuum heat insulating container; a box lid configured to close the box body; and a phase change material provided on a bottom portion and a wall portion of the box body and the box lid. An area made of a radio wave transmissive organic substance is provided on a path leading from inside of the box body to outside of the heat insulating container.
CONFIGURABLE CONTAINER
A configurable container includes a first divider and a container body. The divider has a divider body and a first projection extending from the divider body, wherein the first projection has a length having a first dimension and a width having a second dimension different than the first dimension. The container body includes a first wall that includes a first groove facing inward toward the internal cavity, wherein the first groove has a width configured to receive the width of the first projection of the first divider in a first orientation. At least one of the first wall and a second wall includes a second groove also facing inward toward the internal cavity, wherein the second groove has a width configured to receive the length of the first projection in a second orientation, wherein the width of the second groove is different than the width of the first groove.
COOLER WITH OPEN VOLUME CONTROL AND CONTENTS SECUREMENT
A cooler with an open volume minimization system suitable for use in harsh conditions with extreme motions such as an off-road vehicle. The open volume minimization system includes a contents engagement portion that may extend from a cooler sidewall and/or a lid to reduce the open volume and constrain the contents in the cooler. Manual or powered means can lower and retract the contents engagement portion. The engagement portion may be part of an expandable bladder system integrated with the cooler. Inflation of the bladder moves the engagement portion to the contents minimizing sloshing by reducing the open volume in the interior and by securing the contents. Elastomeric strap latches under tension may keep the lid securely latched.
Shipping system for storing and/or transporting temperature-sensitive materials
Shipping systems for temperature-sensitive materials and methods of making and using same. In one embodiment, the shipping system includes a cooler base and a lid. The base includes an inner portion and an outer portion. The inner portion includes a thermal insulation unit including a bottom wall and four side walls. A thermally-conductive member is positioned on the bottom wall. A polymeric bag encapsulates the thermally-conductive member and some of the thermal insulation unit. The outer portion includes thermally-insulating material and defines an opening. The inner portion is permanently bonded to the outer portion, with cavities defined therebetween. A product box is placed in the inner portion directly over the polymeric bag and the underlying thermally-conductive member. First temperature-control members are disposed within the inner portion, with at least one temperature-control member directly over the polymeric bag and the underlying thermally-conductive member. Second temperature-control members are disposed within the cavities.
Thermal protection storage cell for a cold transport box
A thermo-protection-storage-cell (1) for the ensuring of a temperature range from a lower temperature exposure limit to an upper temperature exposure limit contains a thermo-cell body (2) and at least one filling chamber (3) which is arranged in the thermo-cell body (2). The at least one filling chamber (3) is filled with a first phase-change material (4) which changes its phase at the point of the lower temperature exposure limit. The at least one filling chamber (3) is filled with a second phase-change material (5) which changes its phase at the point of the upper temperature exposure limit. The thermo-protection-storage-cell (1) facilitates an efficient and safe ensuring of a temperature-sensitive good in a useful way, especially during its transport.
Portable cooling multipack
The present disclosure provides a portable cooling multipack for holding and cooling a plurality of beverage containers. The multipack includes a primary container formed from an open top housing, having a bottom surface, and a plurality of sidewalls connected and extended away from the bottom surface to define an inner surface there-between, accessible through a top open surface. The multipack further includes a closing wrap for closing the top open surface of the housing of the primary container. The closing wrap includes a plurality of panels defining a first end panel connected to a second end panel through a bottom panel at one end and extending towards a top panel at another end. The closing wrap is wrapped around a pair of sidewalls of the primary containers in a vertical direction such that the top panel of the closing wrap sealingly covers the open top surface of the primary container.
RECYCLABLE, THERMALLY INSULATED SHIPPING CONTAINER WITH PACKED, LOOSE-FILL ORGANIC INSULATION
A recyclable, thermally insulated shipping container is entirely constructed from organic fiber materials in such a manner that the container is curbside recyclable without separation of component materials. The container includes a corrugated cardboard outer box having a bottom wall, a plurality of sidewalls and a top wall, a corrugated cardboard inner liner assembly comprising a corrugated cardboard inner box having a bottom wall and a plurality of sidewalls, and a corrugated cardboard lid assembly. The outer box, inner liner assembly and lid assembly cooperate to create a plurality of thermally insulated cavities which are filled and uniformly packed with predetermined volumes of loose-fill cellulose (organic fiber) insulation to create a predetermined insulating value. The container provides a fully insulated six-sided product cavity to receive a temperature-controlled product. A portion of the product cavity may be filled with a PCM or other thermal media to provide a consistent temperature profile.
METHOD OF FILLING AN INSULATED SHIPPING CONTAINER WITH LOOSE-FILL ORGANIC INSULATION
A recyclable, thermally insulated shipping container is entirely constructed from organic fiber materials in such a manner that the container is curbside recyclable without separation of component materials. The container includes a corrugated cardboard outer box having a bottom wall, a plurality of sidewalls and a top wall, a corrugated cardboard inner liner assembly comprising a corrugated cardboard inner box having a bottom wall and a plurality of sidewalls, and a corrugated cardboard lid assembly. The outer box, inner liner assembly and lid assembly cooperate to create a plurality of thermally insulated cavities which are sequentially filled and uniformly packed with pre-portioned, predetermined volumes of loose-fill cellulose (organic fiber) insulation to create a consistent insulating value throughout the container.
Repulpable container
A repulpable insulated container assembly having a container formed of paper such as corrugated cardboard or varying paper materials and defining an interior; and a repulpable insert placed within the interior of the container and formed of a first paper layer; and a paper fiber pad coupled to the first paper layer.
Foil-wrapped vacuum insulation element
A foil-wrapped vacuum insulation panel having a core, and an air-tight envelope in the form of a wrapping foil surrounding the core made of powder or granulate, wherein between the core made of powder or granulate and the air-tight wrapping foil, there is provided at least one intermediate layer of cardboard and/or paperboard, which completely envelopes the core made of powder or granulate in a powder-tight manner and is formed cuboid box which has approximately the same shape as the finished vacuum insulation element, wherein the powder or granulate is filled into the cuboid box in such an amount that the body is completely filled up to its very top, and the shape of the vacuum insulation element is acquired only via the cuboid box and not by the powder or granulate, while the structural integrity of the core is not sufficient to retain the shape of the core on its own without the surrounding cardboard or paperboard box.
