Definitions
- the present invention concerns an improved container for freezeable liquids, used in particular for extracting heat from small enclosures.
- Such containers which are normally sealed and have a parallelepided shape, are placed in refrigeration cells until the liquid contained in them freezes. When the freezing process is complete, these are then placed into small thermically insulated enclosures, for example ice-boxes, or bags with insulated casinqs, containing products to be maintained at a low temperature. The liquid contained in the containers melts, extracting heat from the said enclosure, thus keeping the internal temperature low.
- One of the objects of the present invention is to eliminate the problems mentioned above, by providing an improved container that can be easily included among the products to be refrigerated, and that allows the various sides of the products themselves to be refrigerated.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a easily and economically constructed container.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a container, the use of which does not necessarily require being combined with special thermically insulated casings, such as ice-boxes, bags with insulated casings, etc.
- the hollow elements (1) can have a cylindrical shape (Figure 2), a spherical shape (Figure 3), or any other geometrical shape.
- connection elements are arranged to permit the rotation of one hollow element (1) with respect to the other elements (1) around parallel axes, to the degree that the strips (2) are parallel.
- the hollow elements (1) have a shape other than parallelepided, for example if they have the shape of a prism with trapezoidal base connected on their slanted sides, the strips (2) would not be parallel, and.the rotation around the axes would be in the direction of the strips themselves.
- connection elements are arranged to permit the rotation of one hollow element (1) with respect to the other elements (1), around axes perpendicular to each other; this arrangement also permits the various hollow elements to be slightly twisted.
- connection elements are formed of bars (3), composed of flexible material, at the ends of which are connected the hollow elements, so as to form a "chain" of hollow elements.
- the rotation of one hollow element with respect to the others can take place around any axes.
- the elements that connect the hollow elements do permit, however, the hollow elements themselves to rotate among themselves, allowing for the most convenient arrangemept of the containers within the ice-box. For example, they can be wrapped around the products that must be kept cold, and can be inserted into the spaces between the products themselves.
- the quantity of liquid contained in the container can be much greater than that contained in normal containers, so that their "refrigerating effect" is increased, to the extent that it is possible to.provide a considerable number of hollow elements for each container, given that the placement within the enclosure to be refrigerated can be arranged to fill up the empty spaces between one product and another, as described above.
- the container can be inserted into any other container, for example a plastic bag, or a bag of any other type, permitting a sufficient refrigerating effect on the products contained within it.
- any other container for example a plastic bag, or a bag of any other type, permitting a sufficient refrigerating effect on the products contained within it.
- the bottom parts of the spaces thus obtained are not thermically insulated, since the lateral parts of the said space, which have a considerably larger surface area than the bottom part, are insulated and thus heat absorption is sharply limited.
- Even the containers which are not externally covered with insulation material can be curved and inserted into other confainers, such as the above-mentioned plastic bags or bags of any other type, even if in this case the refrigerating effect has a shorter duration.
- the containers in question can themselves make up the sides of a casing into which the products to be refrigerated may be inserted; these can be molded into a sack-like.shape, with handles attached to facilitate gripping. When not used to contain products, these containers can be curved in various ways in order to occupy a very limited space, since there exists a considerable possibility of movement between one element and the next.
- the container herein described can be used for therapeutic purposes, for example in place of a normal ice-pack, in contrast to which the invention herein described carries the advantage of being more easily wrapped around that part of the anatomy to be cooled.
- connection elements and hollow elements can be arranged in various ways, or connection elements of a different type as well as hollow elements of a different shape can be used, without deviating from the framework of protection afforded to the conceptual ideas behind the invention, as claimed on the following page.
