Publication number: 20200229645Abstract: A food delivery container including a plurality of insulated walls that form a food chamber, and a climate control system. The climate control system includes an air flow pathway and a heating and/or cooling element positioned within the air flow pathway. A fan is in air flow communication with the food chamber through a first inlet opening and a first outlet opening in the one of the plurality of insulated walls. The fan is configured to draw in air from the food chamber through the first inlet opening and push air into the food chamber through the first outlet opening such that air travels through the air flow pathway and over the cooling and/or heating element to circulate heated/cooled air within the food delivery container. The climate control system also includes a power supply configured to supply electrical power to the fan and the cooling/heating element.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2019Publication date: July 23, 2020Inventors: Kyle Robert Karsten, Chevis James Watkinson, Russell William Diamond, Umberto Scott Stefanini, Jonathan Mark Butzine, Matthew J.
