Containers for refrigerated transport and temporary storage of food

The invention relates to a container for refrigerated transport and for the temporary storage of food, especially Irish fish

There are known transport containers in which Irish fish and Ice cream are packed alternately in horizontal layers, with loose partitions being placed between the layers «

Furthermore, transport containers are known in which Irish fish and ice cream are packaged alternately in vertical layers with loose or rigid partitions between the layers are and the transport container after being filled

409826/0403

has been turned by 90 ° for transport or storage, after which the layers are then horizontal,

In both known embodiments, the transport container is thermally insulated and there is a connection between the layers, which is why only ice can be used there as a cooling _{medium or the like}

The invention is based on the object of eliminating the limitation with regard to the cooling medium that can be used and the manufacture, filling and cooling of the transport container to simplify and cheaper.

The solution to this problem is achieved according to the invention by that the container has a number of parallel, interconnected hollow partitions, which are evenly spaced and at right angles to the plane containing the feed opening for the food are arranged so that the filling opening forms a complete side of the container and can be closed by a lid is that the container at its opposite the filling opening Side wall and an adjacent side wall has short legs, so that the container in a filling position, in which the partitions are vertical, can be filled through a funnel and by 90 ° in a transport or storage position is reversible, in which the partition walls are horizontal,

and that the intercommunicating cavities the partitions contain a cooling medium

The cooling medium can be a liquid or a gas, which the intercommunicating cavities fills in or circulates through it.

The interconnected cavities can, however, also face the outside of the thermally non-insulated container open and exposed to the cooling air in a cold store, refrigerated wagon or refrigerated ship.

An embodiment of the container according to the invention is described in more detail below in connection with the drawing. In the drawing show:

1 shows a vertical section through the container in the filling position;

Fig * 2 is a vertical section through the same container in the transport or storage position, in which the container is closed by a lid is; and

Figure 5 is a side view of three in a cold room stacked containers,

ORIGINAL INSPECTED

The container shown in .Figo 1 is made with the side walls 1, the bottom 2 and the hollow partitions 3 in one piece from pressable plastic. The cavities 4 of the partition walls are open to the outside of the container in this embodiment, so that they are _{exposed to the cooling air in a cooling room or the like o} The container is enclosed in a frame 5, which has short legs 6 on two adjacent walls of the container o In Jig.1 the container is in its filling position, in which the partition walls are vertical 3, and the entire open top of the container forms the filling opening, so that foods such _o B _0, the Eische shown, filled in a simple manner through a funnel 7 can be · the filling opening is then closed by a cover 8 as shown in FIG 2 ₀ and the container by 90 ° into the storage or transport position according Hg "tilted 2

A number of containers can, as in 3 ig. 3 is shown, are stacked on top of each other in a refrigerated room, refrigerated wagon or refrigerated ship _o The cooling air touches the surfaces of the side walls, the lid and the partition walls of the container _o

Alternatively, the interconnected cavities 4 of the container can be closed off from the container environment and filled with a cooling liquid for transport and for storage outside a cold room be",
