Benefits of technology

"The invention is a thermally insulated cosmetics carrying case with a chamber wall having two parallel walls and two rows of elongate holding areas. The case also includes first and second refrigerant packs with unbroken pouches and depressions that hold the refrigerant material. The refrigerant packs are positioned in the holding areas to form elongate holding areas that prevent moisture transfer between the storage compartment and the refrigerant packs. The case also includes a mirror that can be opened and closed and a flexible insulation layer to reduce heat transfer between the storage compartment and the refrigerant packs. The technical effects of this invention include improved insulation, reduced heat transfer, and prevention of unauthorized access to the refrigerant packs."

Problems solved by technology

Most packaged, cosmetic products are heat sensitive in that they melt, crack, or degrade when exposed to heat even for short periods of time, especially in warm weather climates.

case 20

[0022]Case 20 provides storage compartment 28 into which heat-sensitive articles or products can be stored. Auxiliary storage compartments 42 and 52 on either side of storage compartment 28 into which refrigerant packs 60 and 61 are held in effect substantially surround storage compartment 28, and which are insulated with insulation layers 120 and 121 to prevent heat loss between storage compartment 28 and the exterior environment surrounding case 20. The closure formed by zipper 35 allow upper end 24 of chamber wall 21 to be opened as shown in FIG. 2 to open upper end 24 of chamber wall 21 and storage compartment 28 to allow the passage of items therethrough with respect to storage compartment 28, and closed as shown in FIG. 1 to close upper end 24 of chamber wall 21 and storage compartment 28. The flexible construction of case 20 allow heat-sensitive articles to be easily positioned into and removed from storage compartment 28 through upper end 24 in the open position of the closu...

Abstract

A thermally insulated cosmetics carrying case includes a chamber wall having oppositely disposed parallel first and second walls each formed with a refrigerant pack and temperature controlling characteristics. The first and second walls extend between opposed upper and lower ends and opposed first and second sides together bounding a storage compartment, and a closure is formed in the upper end to open and close the upper end with respect to the storage compartment. The refrigerant packs form elongate holding areas in the storage compartment to receive and hold heat-sensitive cosmetics, and which are arranged in parallel rows extending horizontally with respect to the storage compartment from proximate to the first side of the chamber wall to proximate to the second side of the chamber wall.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 060,333, filed Jun. 10, 2008.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to the field of bags and cases and, more particularly, to a portable thermally insulated carrying case or bag for heat-sensitive cosmetics.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Cosmetics are substances used to enhance or protect the appearance or odor of the human body. Cosmetics include skin-care creams, lotions, powders, perfumes, lipsticks, lip gloss, lip balm, eye liners and various types of eye and facial makeup, and many other types of products. The use of cosmetics is widespread, especially among women. Most cosmetic products are packed in small, portable containers suitable to make use of these and other cosmetic products easy and efficient, and to carry in a purse or small bag or case. Most packaged, cosmetic products are heat sensitive in that they melt, crack, or...
