Abstract
ABSTRACT
Transport- and storage container for cooled goods, for example fresh fish, using ice as cooling medium and comprising a first container of an impact-resisting and heat insulating material, and a second self-supporting container shaped so that it can be received as an insert in the first container. The second container is of a water-proof material and has in its bottom distance members for keeping the cooled goods separated from the water from the melted ice. The distance members consist of a number of vertical cells forming a lattice work upon which the cooled goods is intended to rest and which cells comunicate with each other through overflows.

Description
7~3 The present invention relates to a transport- and storage container for cooled goods, especially fresh fish, using ice as cooling medium, which is pack~d together with the cooled goods and when melted is admitted to flow down about said goods.
Fresh fish must be transported over long distances, for example by air, while retaining a constant low temperature of approximately +2C. Th~ fish is usually packed in boxes of insulating material, which are placed inside a cover of kraft 0 liner board. As a cooling medium ice is used, which gradually melts, whereby the water from the melted ice runs around the fish and cools the same.
Great demands are put on such packings concerning density, especially if the fish has to be transported with other types of goods in connection with air transportatlons, where absolutely no ~eakage is permitted.
An ob~ect of the present invention is to provide a transport-and storage container of the above mentioned type which meets high demands on insulation as well as on density. Thus the container should not emit any water and after it has been sealed it should not emit any water and after it has been sealed it should be so tight that no smell from for "example" the fish should be felt.
It should have low weight and good insulation qualities so that the desired temperature level can be kept at least a couple of days.
According to the present invention there is provided a transport-and storage unit for cooled goods, especially fresh fish, using ice as cooling medium, which is packed together with the cooled goods and when melted is allowed to flow down about said goods, and which comprises an outer container of an impact resisting and heat insulating material, a self-supporting inner container of a water-proof material shaped so that it can be received as an insert in the outer container covering the bottom and inner side ~z~
walls thereof, the insert being liftable out of the outer container and usable separately, a lattice work arranged in the bottom of the water-proof inner container for spacing the cooled goods from the molten ice, said lattlce work comprising a plurality of closed, upwards op~n cells communicating with each other through overflows, and a cover provided with a downwardly pro;ecting edge to engage into a recess in the upper edge of the outer container, the inner container at the top being provided with an outwardly projecting, circumferential flange arranged to rest on the upper edge of the outer container and sealingly connect onto the same by means of the cover.
The invention will now be described in more detail by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. 1 shows a vertical section through the container;
Fig. 2 shows a part of the container from above, The package consists of two parts matching into each other, one outer box 1 of a heat insulating material such as hard foamed plastlc, for example Frlgollt, and an lnner box 2 of a water-proof material for example in~ectlon-moulded polyethylene. The inner box 2 is shaped so that it can be recelved as an insert in the outer box 1. The bottom of the lnner box 2 is shaped so that the water from the lce whlch cools the flsh ls gathered in a number of vertlcal cells 3 forming a lattice work in the bottom of the box 2. The cells 3 communicate with each other through overflows 4. The lattice works forms a lattlce in which the fish rests and is kept separate from the melted ice . . .
' ' '.~.,~., . .
~2~3Z~
The inner box 2 has at the top an outwards projecting edge 5, which rests against the upper edge 6 of the outer box 1.
the outer box 1 is provided with a cover 7, which with a rim 8 engages a recess 9 in the upper edge 6 of the outer box 1 and provides a tight connection of the inner box 2 against the outer box 1.
The inner box 2 is slightly tapering towards its bottom and can easily be released from the outer box 1 and be used separately, both at sales exposure, handling of frozen goods and of the fish on board on fishing boats. It is pileable so it requires little space when empty.
The field of appllcation for the packing is of course not limited to fish handling, but can with advantage be used for other cooled goods, such as cooling boxes for leisure boats etc.
