AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006] The invention is in the form of an auxiliary box capable of being placed in a larger chamber, vessel or container with the auxiliary box including a quantity of coolant, such as dry ice (CO2) and allows coolant to escape at a predetermined constant rate thereby providing a control to maintain the constant but variable temperature range in the chamber, vessel or container being cooled.
[0007] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an auxiliary coolant box containing a quantity of dry ice (CO2) with the auxiliary box enabling coolant to escape at a predetermined rate to provide controlled low temperature ranges in the chamber, vessel or container to be cooled without the input of electrical energy or other types of energy thereby rendering the auxiliary box and the chamber, vessel or container fully portable and capable of maintaining a constant temperature within the chamber, vessel or container.

Problems solved by technology

Picnic coolers of this type do not have the capability of varying the temperature range within the picnic cooler at a constant selective level for long periods of time, are rather heavy and cumbersome to transport and retain a quantity of water therein which must be disposed of.

Embodiment Construction

[0015] In describing a preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in the drawings, specific terminology will be resorted to for the sake of clarity. However, the invention is not intended to be limited to the specific terms so selected, and it is to be understood that each specific term includes all technical equivalents which operate in a similar manner to accomplish a similar purpose.

[0016]FIG. 1 illustrates the structure of the chamber, vessel or container 10 which may be of any size, shape or configuration and provided with an insulated space or volume 12 occupying a major portion of the chamber 10. A closure lid 13 will be provided for the chamber 10 which may be in the form of a removable lid sealingly engaging the top edge of the chamber 10 in a manner similar to a lid used in a conventional picnic cooler.

[0017] The auxiliary box 14 containing the coolant is placed interiorly of the space or volume 12 at any point of the periphery of the chamber including in the lid....

Abstract

An auxiliary box placed in an insulated chamber, vessel or container to produce a controlled temperature. The auxiliary box receives a coolant, such as dry ice (CO2), and is constructed to allow controlled escape of the coolant into the chamber, vessel or container at a predetermined rate thereby controlling and maintaining the temperature ranges in the chamber, vessel or container to be cooled at a substantial constant temperature.

Description

[0001] This application is entitled to and hereby claims the priority of co-pending U.S. provisional application, Ser. No. 60 / 653,109, filed Feb. 16, 2005.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention generally relates to an auxiliary box which can be placed in a chamber, vessel or container to produce a controlled temperature. The auxiliary box can be made of Styrofoam or any insulated material which can house a coolant, such as dry ice (CO2), and is constructed to allow the escape of the coolant into the chamber, vessel or container at a predetermined rate thereby controlling the temperature ranges in the chamber, vessel or container to be cooled at a substantial constant temperature. [0004] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0005] Various types of product cooling devices are well known to maintain the interior of a container within certain adjustable temperature ranges such as refrigerators and freezers which require the input of energy, ...
