  • Patent number: 5301508
    Abstract: A container (20) includes a base surface (25) having walls (21, 22, 23 and 24) extending therefrom which together form an opening for the container (20). A door (26) is attached to one wall (24) by a hinge (27) to close the opening. A thermoelectric power module (43) is removably mounted in a recess (66) formed in one wall (21) and selectively heats and cools the interior of the container (20). The container (20) may thus be selectively positioned on either the base surface (25) or on one of two walls (22, 23). A power cord (57) is attached to the module (43) and carries a plug (58) so that the module (43) may be connected to a source of electric power. A switch (61) on the plug (58) directs the module (43) to selectively cool or heat the interior of the container (20). The cord (57) may be routed in channels (70, 72, 73, 74) formed in the base surface (25) from module (43) to any of the walls (22, 23, 24) and may be stored in a recess (77) formed in the base surface (25) and wall (24).
