Description

BACKGROUND OF SAID PRESENT INVENTION

1. Field of Invention
This present invention relates to a container and more particularly to a portable refrigerating container, mounted with an adjustable handler, which consuming both regular direct circuit power supply and power supply by any transportation vehicle.
2. Description of Related Arts
It is now very popular for people carry around a portable refrigerating container to keep beverages and snacks cool, warm or even frozen when people are out for work, picnic or any occasion.
However, most conventional portable refrigerating containers are failed to provide any mean of handling media for user to carry said container at an easy position. Normally, user needs to carry a portable refrigerating container with both hands. Therefore, it is very inconvenience for user since both hands are occupied when moving said container. If said floor is slippy and should said user loss his balance while he is moving said container his hands are both occupied, it is very dangerous.
Moreover, most conventional portable refrigerating containers always provide a covering/opening mean with limited angles. Therefore, user always find out that even a refrigerating container has enough space for storage but such space cannot be fully occupied by food and beverages since said covering/opening means is not big enough to let those food and beverages in due to said limited angles provided.
Most conventional portable refrigerating containers can only provide means of storage functions with refrigerating and warming inside a predetermined chamber with a covered position. Normally, there is no storage space provided outside said predetermined chamber. When using a refrigerating container inside any transportation vehicle, for example, a car, it would be much more environmental friendly should a storage space outside said predetermined chamber is provided.

SUMMARY OF SAID PRESENT INVENTION

A main object of said present invention is to provide a portable refrigerating container with a mean of handling media for user to carry said container at an easy position without both hands are occupied when carrying said container.
Another object of said present invention is to provide a portable refrigerating container with a covering/opening mean allowing a 100-degree rotation angles thereby storage space of said container can fully employed.
Another object of said present invention is to provide a portable refrigerating container with extra storage space outside a predetermined chamber so as to allowing a much more environmental friendly portable refrigerating container.
Accordingly, in order to accomplish to above objects, said present invention provides a portable refrigerating container comprising:
a rectangular solid body, a mean of covering and opening solid door, a cup holder and
a plurality of electronic circuit system comprises an adoptability of A/C, D/C and power sources from transportation vehicles.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SAID PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

This invention aims to put forward an updated and improved design of refrigerating container in said same category. Said container comprises a rectangular solid body whereby a sized chamber is provided therein; a covering and opening solid door for said body, a cup holder and a plurality of electronic circuit system. Said covering and opening solid door is connected to one side of said rectangular solid body, enabling 100 degrees rotation of said covering and opening solid door and providing user with a right angle to put into or getting out items from said container. User may open or close said covering and opening solid door when placing food in said container. Said cup holder is closely fastened to an upper side of said rectangular solid body. A protective covering and opening solid door makes relative movements between position one and position two. In position one, said protective covering and opening solid door of said cup holder falls in said same surface with an outside surface of said container to provide user with a space to store said cup holder; while in position two, said protective covering and opening solid door of said cup holder is open to provide user with a holder that fastens cup or can.
There is an electronic circuit system lies in another side of said rectangular solid body, equipped with a protective covering and opening solid door to prevent outside contact or damage to same circuit system. Said circuit system uses mainly outside electric power source, including regular A/C and D/C electricity supply and vehicle power supply, to generate refrigerating and heating features and keep stored items inside said container warm or frozen.
Said container is usually in a rectangular shape. Inside a body (1) there is an aluminum plate (2), wrapped in an insulated component (3) with roof (4) fastened to said body by one side, thus said aluminum plate (2) and insulated component (3) stored inside said body (1). There is a rectangular window (5) inside said roof (4), acting as said entrance of said container.
Said cover (6) is usually made of leather or other flexible materials formed in parabolic shape. Said end of said cover (6) is joined to said insulated component (3), which is neighbored by a piece of panel board (7) at said bottom. One side of said panel board (7) is connected to said body (1) by one side, and said other side of said board (7) installs a door lock inside said central rectangular pit of said panel board (7) through a sealing washer (9). It is obvious that said panel board (7) functions as a valve that opens or closes said entrance to said container. When said valve is closed, said notch (11) at one side of said panel (7) is blocked with a clamping ring (23), preventing said panel board (7) from moving.
Said sealing washer (9) is pressed against said rectangular window (5) in said roof, keeping said temperature and air inside from leaking out of said container.
As shown in figures, said electronic circuit system (12) consists of aluminum component (13), refrigerating and heating component (14), radiator (15), fan (16), integrated circuit (17), switch (18), indicator light (19) and external electric supply wiring (20). Said aluminum component (13) is poly-aluminum plate (2), so when power is input through external electric supply wiring (20) and said user turn on said switch (18), said electronic circuit system (12) is immediately activated, and said refrigerating and heating component (14) generates freezing air or heat, which is transmitted to aluminum plate (2) through said aluminum component (13). Meanwhile said insulated component (3) between said aluminum plate (2) and said body (1) keeps said freezing air or heat inside said container. Said protective covering and opening solid door (21) is fasted to said body (1) at one side, while said notch in said covering and opening solid door (21) facilitates circulation of air, driving said heat in said radiator (15) to flee said body (1) from said long notch (22) in said protective covering and opening solid door through said wind power generated by said fan (16). Said cover (24) of said protective covering and opening solid door (21) is joined to said top of said inner notch.
As indicated in said pictures, said cup holder (25) is fastened to said top of said body (1), and said protective cover (26) of said cup holder fastened to one side of said body (1) by flexible connection. In said front of said protective cover (26) of said cup holder, there is a flange (8), by which said user can open said protective cover (26) and insert soda can in said cup holder (25).
As indicated in figures shown, on said top of said body (1), there is a press button (10), said bottom of which is connected to a locking mechanism (23), under which there is a hidden spring (27). Said locking mechanism (23) is locked in said notch (11) in said panel board (7). When said user presses down said button (10), said locking mechanism (23) draws in from said notch (11) in said panel board (7), which then can be opened.
As indicated in said pictures, at one side of said body (1), there is at least one bag (28) made of flexible materials, which can be used to put another soda can.
This new practical environmental electronic food container can draw in said cup holder (25), and is easy to carry with hand.
The present invention of environmental electronic food container can generate heat or freezing air, providing said user with various usages, for instance, inside a vehicle or yacht, or in daily life to effectively maintain food inside said container in appropriate temperature. It is also easy to carry with hand due to its adjustable handler.
