Abstract: A stand for a hand-operated carbon dioxide discharge horn. The stand can retain the hand-operated carbon dioxide discharge horn without having to be stored near the compressed gas source. The stand also includes a protrusion for storing an accessory associated with the hand-operated carbon dioxide discharge horn. Also disclosed is a kit containing a stand, hand-operated carbon dioxide discharge horn and an accessory for hand-operated discharge horn.

Abstract: An elongated sheet having repeating compartments and intermittent sections placed after any repeating compartment. The repeating compartments are closed membranes encasing refrigerant therein. Alternatively, the repeating compartments may be disposed with pockets for releasably retaining the refrigerant. The intermittent sections are flat in cross section and provide holes along its sides for creating a passageway therethrough. The holes may be strengthened using a grommet or the like. In use, one elongate sheet is secured to other elongated sheets in any various end-to-end and/or side-to-side combinations for creating a modular blanket of refrigerant. The sheets are secured to one another by hooks or other known means in which holes in one sheet are connected to various holes in another sheet. The refrigerant blanket may then be placed around the exterior of a large quantity of perishable goods for maintaining the temperature of the sensitive goods.
