| 20080268107 | Container having coolant reservoir - A container includes a housing having a chamber formed by a peripheral wall for receiving a beverage or food, and a heat medium reservoir for receiving a heat medium and a control valve device for selectively releasing the heat medium from the heat medium reservoir into the chamber of the housing and for preserving the beverage or food contained within the housing. The heat medium may be selected from a liquid nitrogen, a gaseous nitrogen, a coolant, or a carbon dioxide. The housing may include an orifice for coupling to a hose which is coupled to the heat medium reservoir for supplying the heat medium into the chamber of the housing. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090148570 | Hydrogen elimination and thermal energy generation in water-activated chemical heaters - Less hazardous methods for generating thermal energy for heating water, medical supplies or comestible products using improved flameless chemical heaters/flameless ration heaters by novel chemical or electrochemical means, each capable of suppressing the generation of hydrogen gas. Remote unit self-heating meals may be more rapidly heated by forming a reaction mixture comprising magnesium or a magnesium-containing alloy, and a hydrogen eliminator or suppressor, and introducing water to react the reaction mixture and generate a more rapid release of thermal energy sufficient to effectuate a more accelerated temperature rise and more rapid heating of medical supplies, water, rations or other comestible substances while simultaneously suppressing or eliminating the generation of potentially hazardous hydrogen. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20100136186 | HYDROGEN ELIMINATION AND THERMAL ENERGY GENERATION IN WATER-ACTIVATED CHEMICAL HEATERS - A hydrogen suppressing, flameless, heat generating chemical composition including magnesium or a magnesium-containing alloy, a hydrogen suppressor or eliminator, particulate carbon, a metallic salt including a cation and an anion and water. The anion is selected from the group consisting of silicate, carbonate, bicarbonate, phosphate, borate, perborate, percarbonate, perphosphate, persulfate, nitrate, nitrite, ferrate, permanganate, and stannate and combinations thereof. The magnesium or magnesium-containing alloy, hydrogen suppressor or eliminator, particulate carbon, metallic salt and water are each present in a proportional amount to generate sufficient heat to heat water, medical supplies and/or consumable rations. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100189847 | Two Part Container Adapted To Separately Hold Consumable Foodstuffs - A two part container adapted to separately hold consumable foodstuffs. The two part container provides a convenient device for transporting different foodstuffs in a separated fashion using a single container. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100227027 | SELF-HEATING SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RAPIDLY HEATING A COMESTIBLE SUBSTANCE - Self-heating containers comprise a reaction chamber and a heating chamber. The heating chamber is sized to contain a substance to be heated. The reaction chamber contains reactants which, when contacted, exothermically react. The reaction chamber is divided into a first compartment and a second compartment with a barrier therebetween. The barrier comprises a first barrier portion and a second barrier portion. The first barrier portion is attached to a reaction chamber wall and has an opening sized to allow reactants to flow through from one compartment to the other. The second barrier portion is attached to the first barrier portion to close the opening. The barrier can be opened by moving an actuator into engagement with the second barrier portion to dislodge the second barrier portion from the first barrier portion and thereby open the barrier. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20110123683 | Self-contained and self-heating food, meal and drink package - A self-contained and self-heating food, meal and/or drink package, comprising a heat-resistant carton, a heat-resistant tray, a heating element, a container having a food, meal and/or drink sealed therein, and a pouch containing an activator solution for reacting with the heating element to generate sufficient heat to heat the food, meal and/or drink in the container. To heat the contents of the container, the heating element is positioned within the tray and the activator solution is applied to the heating element. The container then is positioned over the heating element in the tray, and the tray with the heating element and container therein is positioned within the carton which serves as an oven for heating the food, meal and/or drink in the container. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20140037801 | COOLING VESSEL - A food container including an inner wall defining a food-containing cavity, and an outer wall defining a geometry of the food container. The outer wall is in contact with the inner wall to provide a unitary structure encapsulating a chamber between the inner wall and the outer wall of the food container. An aqueous salt solution is contained within the chamber between the inner wall and the outer wall. The aqueous salt solution has a water to salt by volume ratio that ranges from 2.5 parts water to 1 part salt to 3.5 parts water to 1 part salt. Following removal of the food container from a refrigeration unit, the aqueous salt solution of the food container maintains a temperature of a foodstuff positioned within the food-containing cavity with a range from −0.5° C. and 10° C. | 02-06-2014 |
| 20150017287 | Self-Heating Container for Pre-Cooked Food - This container comprises: an outer receptacle containing a lower vessel carrying calcium oxide, a water bag and a striker to break the bag and mix the water with the calcium oxide causing an exothermic reaction; and an upper vessel carrying the pre-cooked food and fixed on the lower vessel. The outer receptacle has on its side surface: recessed sectors and projecting sectors forming hollow side chambers between the lower container and the side surface of the outer receptacle and, in correspondence with the upper end of the mentioned vertical sectors, a perimetral step for the linear support of a projecting rim defined in the upper opening of the lower vessel. The upper vessel comprises a perimetral step in an area close to its upper end for its support and fixing by means of an adhesive on the projecting upper rim of the lower vessel. | 01-15-2015 |
