Filed:

Dec 1, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/325871

Inventors:

Preston Noel Williams - Richfield MN, US
Arnold Charles Hillmann - Prior Lake MN, US
Eric Robert Lindquist - Medina MN, US
Christian Peter Kramer - Saint Louis Park MN, US
David Nicholas Legas - Bloomington MN, US

International Classification:

B65D 81/38
B65B 1/04

US Classification:

22059226, 53473

Abstract:

A package and method of use for packaging temperature sensitive payloads during transport through environments having extreme temperatures. The package includes a segmented, flexible panel containing a plurality of phase change material segments. A pair of such panels may be used, with each panel being separately thermally preconditioned as a function of anticipated ambient temperature during transport. The panels may be formed by retaining phase change material segments between a pair of flexible sheets.

Appl. No.:

12/983287

Inventors:

Eric Lindquist - Medina MN, US
Luke Haun - Minneapolis MN, US
Preston Williams - Richfield MN, US

International Classification:

B65D 85/00

US Classification:

2065241

Abstract:

A container for a temperature sensitive product, such as a pharmaceutical compound, includes an inner vessel and an outer shell. When the inner vessel is contained in the outer shell, a chamber adapted to receive a phase change material is defined between an inner vessel wall and an outer shell wall. A container may also include multiple chambers defined by multiple walls, with different phase change materials disposed in different chambers. A cap, such as a child-proof cap, may be used to secure the contents of the container.

International Classification:

B65D 81/18

US Classification:

141 1, 22059216

Abstract:

A thermal receptacle having a side wall which has an inner surface and a spaced outer surface. An interstitial chamber may be defined by the space between the inner and outer surfaces. A phase change material containing insert is provided into the receptacle. The insert contains a phase change material or a plurality of different phase change materials. Phase change material may also be located within the interstitial chamber. The phase change material regeneratively absorbs thermal energy from a hot liquid in the receptacle thereby rapidly lowering the temperature of the liquid and then the material releases the thermal energy back to the liquid to maintain the temperature of the liquid.
