Abstract: A portable medicine carrier and protector for storing and transporting medicine stored in vials. The vials may be of different sizes. The medicine carrier and protector includes a hollow, thin walled medicine carrier. The carrier is substantially filled with a paraffinic hydrocarbon (C14-C18) such as Hexadecane, an alpha olefin (C14-C20), or a material such as Dimethyl Sulfoxide. A cavity is disposed in a top surface of the carrier. The cavity being formed from a plurality of different semi-circular compartments. Each of the compartments has a different cross-sectional radius. This allows the carrier to accept medicine vials of differing sizes. A plurality of solid ribbed members are disposed transversely in the cavity, so as to prevent direct contact between the carrier and the medicine vials.

Abstract: A portable medicine protector for maintaining the temperature of medicine stored therein from rising above a threshold temperature and for preventing the temperature of medicine stored therein from falling below a second threshold temperature. The present invention consists of hollow walled container which has a cavity formed therein. The container is filled with a suitable liquid, (e.g. water, BLUE ICE, etc.) which may be frozen in an ordinary household freezer environment. A depression or cavity is formed in the container for receiving medicine, such as bottles of liquid medicine. The bottom and sides of the cavity include a plurality of ribbed members to prevent direct contact between a medicine bottle and the side walls of the container. By preventing point contact of the medicine with the side walls of the container, freezing of the medicine is inhibited and in most cases prevented. An outer casing consists of a sleeve of insulating material which in the preferred embodiment is pliable foam.
