Abstract: A combination container and latch is provided. The container comprises a body, a lid hingedly attached to the body and a pivoting latch that minimizes the possibility of the latch becoming entangled in the lid or damaged. The latch is moveable between a locked position in which the latch is distended and extends vertically upward within a body recess and a lid recess to engage a locking post, and an open position in which the latch is relaxed and extends horizontally within the body recess. The container and latch are designed so that the latch never extends beyond the container footprint.

Abstract: An insulated dual-temperature container for use in transporting multiple payloads that require different temperature environments is provided.

Abstract: A thermopanel is provided for use in a container for the storage or transport of goods, the thermopanel includes an insulated outer perimeter that provides greater insulation than a center area within the insulated outer perimeter; and an insulated insert that is removably placeable in the center area; wherein when the insulated insert is in place in the center area, the thermopanel provides greater insulation than when the insulated insert is not in place in the center area.

Abstract: A container having a base includes a bottom and four walls that are connected to the bottom and define a storage space having an opening. A lid is pivotally mounted on the base and covers at least a portion of the opening when in a closed position. A prop is arranged so that a first end of the lid prop is pivotally engaged to the lid and a second end of the lid prop is engaged in a slot in a plate that does not allow lid to travel beyond a certain limit and does not allow to close accidentally as an optional feature. The prop fits substantially inside a recess when the lid is in the closed position.

Abstract: An insulated container includes a bottom and four walls connected to the bottom; a top which fits on the four walls; a portion of the top is pivotally mounted so as to be opened to provide access to the insulated container through a first opening; a portion of one of the four walls is pivotally mounted so as to be opened to provide access to the insulated container through a second opening; wherein the first and second openings are contiguous to provide a combined access area to the container that extends across both the top and the one of the four walls.

Abstract: An insulated refrigerated storage container apparatus comprises a plurality of wall members defining a generally rectilinear enclosure and including respective top, bottom, front, rear and opposing side wall members. An access opening is provided in the front wall and an access door mounted to the access opening for selectively closing the same. A refrigerant compartment is located interiorly of the enclosure adjacent the top wall thereof. Channels are provided for directing a flow of refrigerated fluid from the refrigerant compartment over and around top, rear and bottom portions of the interior of the enclosure so as to substantially surround an interior volume defined within the enclosure with refrigerated fluid. An exhaust vent is located at a lower portion of the container for exhausting excess air and spent refrigerated fluid from the enclosure.
