  • Patent number: 6044650
    Abstract: A container is disclosed for storing and transporting vessels containing a liquid composition susceptible to physicochemical alteration upon changes in temperature above or below a specified temperature. It comprises an enclosure having a lower portion, a top portion and a side portion between the lower and top portions thereby defining an inner space. A lower portion of the enclosure contains a first heat sink within a base, comprising a thermal energy absorbing substance. A vial holder in the inner space holds one or more of the vessels in the inner space above the first heat sink and substantially spaced from an insulated insert inside of the enclosure. An insulating gas is contained in the inner space. A temperature indicator in the inner space indicates when the inner space has been subjected to temperatures below a predetermined level.

  • Patent number: 6028293
    Abstract: A temperature-controlled container for transporting biologic tissue and human skin is set out wherein an outer insulated container houses a power source, a thermostat means, a heating means, a power source and interior container along with a retention means for holding the sample in place and a lid that interlocks with the open annular area by a T-shaped friction plug. The thermostat means may be a microchip and heating element so that the sample and interior temperature does not vary from a given temperature parameter.

  • Patent number: 6020575
    Abstract: A temperature-controlled container for transporting biologic tissue and human skin is set out wherein an outer insulated container houses a power source, a thermostat means, a heating means, a power source and interior container along with a retention means for holding the sample in place and a lid that interlocks with the open elongated chamber area by a T-shaped friction plug. The thermostat means may be a microchip and heating element so that the sample and interior temperature does not vary from a given temperature parameter. A eutectic pack which is a solid at room temperature and experiences a phase change to the liquid state at temperatures exceeding room temperature is provided to insure that a minimal super-ambient temperature is maintained.

  • Patent number: 5934099
    Abstract: A container is disclosed for storing and transporting vessels containing a composition susceptible to physicochemical alteration upon changes in temperature above or below a specified temperature range. It comprises a first housing having a vessel holder, and a heat sink disposed within the first housing. A second housing encloses the first housing, the second housing is preferably comprised of a metallic material and is of a double-walled construction.

  • Patent number: 5669233
    Abstract: A collapsible and reusable shipping container incorporates a series of inner insulated panels and an outer enclosure. The inner insulated panels possess a series of parallel channels, both horizontally configured along the bottom panel and vertically around the side panels, said panels retaining a plurality of heat sinks. A bottom enclosure and bottom panel is in operative communication with the side panels and outer enclosure, the assemblage retained in a closed condition by a top inner panel and top enclosure. The heat sinks cooperate to maintain constant interior temperatures, while a pallet means allows the packed container to be moved and stored.

  • Patent number: 5492616
    Abstract: A protective envelope package is formed by folding an essentially flat blank along a midpoint and hinge area to form an essentially flat first panel and flat second panel. Upstanding from and along the top and bottom peripheral edges of the flat first panel are a plurality of annular receptacles. Upstanding from and along the top and bottom peripheral edges of the flat second panel are a like number of upstanding locking members, said upstanding locking members being adapted to engage said annular receptacles to maintain the envelope in a folded condition. A plurality of ribs disposed in a longitudinal and parallel conformation on the panels prevent compression of the flat first panel and flat second panel. The envelope package my be opened by exerting force downward on its peripheral edges so that the object retained therein is expelled without the user actually handling the object.

  • Patent number: 4650471
    Abstract: The present invention provides a pumping chamber to be constructed as follows:A collapsible tubing is attached to an inlet fitting and to and outlet fitting to transport a biologic fluid such as blood therethrough. An outer tubing surrounds the collapsible tubing and is secured to the outer surface of the inlet fitting and to the outer surface of the outlet fitting, forming a chamber thereby. At least a duality of ports defining passageways through the wall of the outer tubing permits communication of the chamber with ambient conditions outside the chamber. The ports are designed to accept such devices as pressure gauges, alarm systems and devices to regulate intrachamber pressure, to observe arterial pressure, and to regulate collapse and occlusion of collapsible tubing in response to inadequate blood volumes.

  • Patent number: 4571340
    Abstract: The present invention provides a self-opening foldedly formed disposable container said container being lined with a heat and oil resistant hydrophobic material to store and prepare a frozen dough product, said product being pre-proofed. The ovenable container is composed of essentially a rectangular shaped box portion and enclosing said box portion is a pair of like-sized adjacently abutting closure panels, said closure panels, the closed container providing elevated humidity in relation to temperature, opening upwardly and outwardly in response to the mechanical force of the rising dough product, exposing the uppermost area of said product to the oven's environment, said exposure resulting in a golden brown appearance.
