  • Insulated container, insulating material, and manufacturing method of the insulated container
    Patent number: 5706969
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an insulated container used for example as a cooler box, a thermos flask or an insulated lunch box, a suitable insulating material for such a container and a method for its manufacture. The insulated container of the present invention is made with an insulating layer between inner and outer walls of a double walled container with the inner and outer walls joined together as one, and has an insulating material, made by filling a bag with a low thermal conductivity gas comprising at least one of gases such as Xenon, Krypton and Argon, disposed between the inner and outer walls. The method of manufacturing the insulated container involves the steps of inserting a bag into the space of the double walled container, filling the bag inserted into the space with a low thermal conductivity gas, and then sealing the bag.

  • Thermally insulated container
    Patent number: 5678725
    Abstract: A thermally insulated container of the present invention is a double-walled container in an integral body in which an inner casing is arranged in an outer casing so as to maintain a space therebetween, wherein the space is charged with a gas having a low thermal conductivity, and an opening having a diameter of 0.1 to 3 mm for charging gas in a wall of either of the inner casing and the outer casing is sealed.

  • Thermally insulated cooking device
    Patent number: 5596921
    Abstract: A thermally insulated cooking device, including an insulated container, a cooking spot suspended inside the insulated cooking container, an insulated outer lid which closes off an upper opening of the insulated container, and an inner lid for closing off an upper opening of the cooking pot. Further included is a heat retaining material that can be heated by microwaves, which is removably attached to an inner face of the insulated outer lid. By attaching the heat retaining material, after it has been heated in a microwave oven, a temperature drop inside the insulated container can be substantially and safely prevented since heat radiates from the heat retaining material into the insulated container. Moreover the heat retaining material can be safely handled.
