Patent number: 12378057Abstract: Shipping system for storing and/or transporting temperature-sensitive materials. In one embodiment, the system includes an outer box having four side walls, bottom closure flaps, and top closure flaps. A vacuum insulated panel (VIP) is detachably coupled to one of the top closure flaps and is removably covered by a cover. An insulation unit is removably positioned within the outer box, the insulation unit including a plurality of VIPs arranged to define a cavity bounded by a bottom wall and four side walls. A disposable liner assembly is removably mounted on the insulation unit. The liner assembly includes a first liner piece, a second liner piece, and a liner support. A plurality of temperature-control members and a product box may be removably positioned in a cavity defined by the liner assembly. The temperature-control members snugly fit around all sides of the product box and each include a container containing dry ice.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2021Date of Patent: August 5, 2025Assignee: COLD CHAIN TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Ali Moghaddas, Brian Paul Skocypec, Joseph Francis Consiglio, Kristin Pauline Deltano, Stephanie J.

Patent number: 11608221Abstract: Shipping systems for temperature-sensitive materials and methods of making and using same. In one embodiment, the shipping system includes a cooler base and a lid. The base includes an inner portion and an outer portion. The inner portion includes a thermal insulation unit including a bottom wall and four side walls. A thermally-conductive member is positioned on the bottom wall. A polymeric bag encapsulates the thermally-conductive member and some of the thermal insulation unit. The outer portion includes thermally-insulating material and defines an opening. The inner portion is permanently bonded to the outer portion, with cavities defined therebetween. A product box is placed in the inner portion directly over the polymeric bag and the underlying thermally-conductive member. First temperature-control members are disposed within the inner portion, with at least one temperature-control member directly over the polymeric bag and the underlying thermally-conductive member.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2019Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: COLD CHAIN TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Tzeho Lee, Benny Joe Ledford, Jr., Brian Paul Skocypec, Joseph F.

Publication number: 20210070539Abstract: Shipping system for temperature-sensitive materials. In one embodiment, the shipping system may include a frame defining an enclosure. The frame may include a bottom, a top, a front, a rear, a left side, a right side, a left corner gusset, and a right corner gusset. The front may serve as a door. Thermal breaks may be provided in one or more of the bottom, the front, the left corner gusset, and the right corner gusset. Vacuum insulated panels may be positioned along all sides of the frame. Many of the vacuum insulated panels may be encapsulated between the frame and an outer shell. A plurality of phase-change material assemblies may be positioned within the frame along all sides. Heat-spreaders may be positioned interior to the phase-change material assemblies. The shipping system may be dimensioned so that four such shipping systems may be seated on a prorate manual cargo sheet.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2020Publication date: March 11, 2021Inventors: James R. Chasteen, Brian Paul Skocypec, Peter Martino, William D. Robertson, Amanda Lynn Longley, Stephanie Jean Pazniokas, Brandon James MacDonald, Theodore Smith, Matthew Dunham
