| 20080210695 | Insulated folding trivet and method of use - An insulated folding trivet comprising a bottom panel and side panels made of decorative fabric stores flat and folds up to form a trivet for use with hot or cold serving dishes. The sides are foldably attached to the bottom and include releasable connectors to hold the sides in their upright position during use. The trivet may be designed to encase multiple serving dishes with a variety of shapes and sizes. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20090078711 | SELF-HEATING APPARATUSES USING SOLID CHEMICAL REACTANTS - The present invention provides self-heating apparatuses and methods of heating using an aqueous solution and a solid chemical reactant mixture. The solid chemical reactant mixture may include magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, and/or calcium oxide. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20100116831 | Thermal Medicine Traveler - The present invention is a thermal medicine traveler, consisting of a durable outer shell, a soft inner lining, as well as a temperature controlling insert. The traveler is also designed to be compact, washable and easily transported. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20120193367 | HEATED CONTAINER HAVING CHEMICAL HEATING MECHANISM - A self-heating food container configured to hold food and to heat food within the container is provided. The container includes a body wall. A space is defined within the body wall. A chemical heater is located within the space, which upon activation, is configured to generate heat, thereby increasing the temperature of the contents cavity. | 08-02-2012 |
| 20130082063 | CONTAINER FOR TRANSPORTING HEATED FOODSTUFF AND RELATED LID - Container for transporting heated foodstuff including a bowl vessel provided with an openable lid for the airtight sealing including an inner wall and an outer wall delimiting an intermediate interspace which, in the closed condition of the lid, communicates with the vessel through a plurality of first holes formed in the inner wall and with the atmosphere through a plurality of second holes formed in the outer wall of the lid. | 04-04-2013 |
| 20140263369 | INSULATING CONTAINER AND METHODS OF MAKING AN INSULATING CONTAINER - An insulating container for controlling the transfer of heat from a hot object contained therein, the insulating container including a first half-shell and a second half-shell configured to couple together to form a sealed enclosure. The container further includes a first insert and a second insert sized and shaped to be received within the first half shell and the second half shell, respectively, and having inner surfaces that are shaped to surround and substantially conform to the hot object enclosed within the sealed enclosure, and wherein the first insert and the second insert are built up from a plurality of planar pieces of insulating material. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20160023833 | HEATED BIOLOGIC SHIPPING CONTAINER AND METHOD FOR TEMPERATURE MAINTENANCE OF BIOLOGIC SPECIMENS - A system for maintaining a biological sample within a desired temperature range during transport. Preferably, the system includes a container defining an inner chamber; a specimen receptacle for housing a biological sample, wherein the specimen receptacle is configured to be placed within the inner chamber of the container; a heat source configured to be placed within the inner chamber of the container; and a heat sink. The heat sink is configured to be positioned between the heat source and the specimen receptacle, thereby preventing direct heat transfer between the heart source and the specimen receptacle. Certain embodiments also relate to a method for maintaining biological samples within a desired temperature range during transport, using at least some of the system components. Preferably, the components used with the method are configured to maintain the sample at a temperature greater than 0° C. and less than approximately 37° C. during shipping. | 01-28-2016 |
| 20160123626 | Insulating Shell for Thermal Expansion Tanks - An insulating shell designed to fit a variety of thermal expansion tanks which provides substantial insulation. The insulation shell includes a first half shell, a second half shell, and an interlocking mechanism. The first half shell and the second half shell join together to form an enclosed shell with a hollow interior. The first half shell and the second half shell each include a main body, a central cavity, and a partial hole. The main body provides the thermal insulation. The central cavity laterally traverses into the main body through a planar mating surface and receives the tank. The partial hole traverses into the main body from an external surface to an internal surface and received associated plumbing of the tank. The interlocking mechanism includes a first engaging element and a second engaging element, which are used to attach the first half shell and the second half shell together. | 05-05-2016 |
