Benefits of technology

[0007] An insulating wrap to inhibit heat transfer to or from a container comprises conduction insulating material as well as material to prevent radiant heat transfer. The insulating wrap conforms to the shape of the container and has attachment elements for closing the insulating wrap and retaining it against the container. The insulating wrap may have additional attachment features for coupling an insulating top cover and an insulating bottom cover. The top and bottom covers also have material for preventing cond...

Abstract

An insulating wrap for adding to containers to prevent heat adsorbsion or heat loss is composed of conductive insulation material as well as radian barrier material. The insulating wrap conforms to the container shape and has multiple attachment elements for closing and retaining the insulating wrap to the container. The insulating wrap may also have attachment elements for adding a top and/or a bottom insulating cover also comprising conductive insulation material as well as radian barrier material. The insulating wrap may employ insulating tape on the top and bottom edges to protect the edges as well as to further improve heat transfer at the interface between the top or bottom covers and the insulating wrap. In one embodiment the top cover may have an integrated handle piece where the top and bottom cover attachments have sufficient strength to allow a container to be lifted. This embodiment facilitates lifting of a insulated container.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is related to the following commonly owned co-pending U.S. Patent Application: [0002] Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 671,372, “Insulating / Protective Covering for a Container,” filed Apr. 14, 2005, and claims the benefit of its earlier filing date under 35 U.S.C. §119(e).TECHNICAL FIELD [0003] The present invention relates in general to insulating and / or protective coverings. BACKGROUND INFORMATION [0004] Equipment used in many applications can be exposed to adverse conditions. The conditions can vary from sunlight exposure to corrosive gases. The condition that is being protected against determines what method is best for protection. [0005] Sunlight as radiant energy can be destructive to materials as well as an unwanted heat source. A device that would protect against sunlight brings the advantage of reducing the affects of radiant energy in the form of heat and material breakdown. A device that further insulated ...
