Cage for frozen foods with reducer of space

Abstract

A cage in which is mounted a plurality of horizontal bars allowing to insert a reducer of space that is connected by a fastening mean and fixed under an insulating panel situated at the top of the cage, and that is manually displaced above the frozen foods for reducing the space preserving the frozen foods and the use of ice bags or dry ice. The reducer of space is formed with a frame in which is mounted a rigid sheet, a rubber foam and a vapor barrier.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] More particularly, this invention refers to a cage in which is mounted a reducer of space that is manually displaced above the frozen foods for reducing the space preserving the frozen foods, and the use of the ice bags or dry ice. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] A search of prior art records has unveiled the following patents: [0005] 1. U.S. 2003 / 0014994 A1 registered in 2002 to Smith and al.; [0006] 2. U.S. Pat. No. 4,947,658 issued in 1990 to Wheeler and al.; [0007] 3. EP 0,718,212 A1 issued in 1996 to Hazley and al.; [0008] 4. U.S. Pat. No. 4,407,144 issued in 1983 to Garside; [0009] 5. U.S. Pat. No. 4,682,708 issued in 1987 to Pool; and [0010] 6. U.S. Pat. No. 4,921,105 issued in 1990 to Culbreth. [0011] The patents of Smith, Wheeler, Hazley, Garside, Pool and Culbreth are probably the most relevant.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a cage that includes a reducer of space, which is a frame that is mounted on insulating panels. The cage has a plurality of tubular members that are engaged with insulating panels, and each tubular member has a slide rail for engaging a reinforcing sliding bar. The cage also includes a reinforcing bar in the center of each insulating panel for solidifying the structure of the cage. The cage has two hinges on the side of a tubular member for connecting a frame that is engaged with an insulating panel and has a reinforcing bar for solidifying the frame of the door. The cage also has a plurality of horizontal bars that are mounted inside the cage and can be manually displaced above the frozen foods for reducing the space needed to maintain the frozen foods and use of ice bags or dry ice. The reducer of space is formed with a frame that is mounted on insulating panels and includes a rigid sheet, rubber foam, and a vapor barrier. The technical effects of this invention include reducing the space needed to maintain frozen foods and use of ice bags or dry ice, and providing a stable and secure structure for the cage."

Problems solved by technology

In the current market the cages are known for the delivery of frozen foods, however the existing cages have a disadvantage: since the cages are not provided with a reducer of space, that requires to cool completely the cage, and these cages are not conceived for receiving a pallet being used as a bottom for the cage.
