Portable apparatus for cooling and carrying articles

Abstract

Disclosed is a portable apparatus for cooling and carrying articles. The portable apparatus comprises a first enclosure, a second enclosure, a refrigeration system and a power source. The first enclosure includes a first inner space and the second enclosure includes a second inner space. The second enclosure is detachably attached to the first enclosure to configure a closed inner space by joining the first inner space and the second inner space. The closed inner space is capable of accommodating the articles therein. Further, the refrigeration system is disposed within at least one of the first enclosure and the second enclosure for cooling the closed inner space. Furthermore, the power source is detachably attached to at least one of the first enclosure and the second enclosure. The power source is capable of supplying power to the refrigeration system for cooling the closed inner space, thereby cooling the articles accommodated therein.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a portable appliance, and more particularly, to a portable appliance for cooling and carrying articles, such as medicaments and edibles.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Articles, such as medicaments and edibles that are prone to deterioration and spoilage at an atmospheric temperature are required to be kept at a temperature below the atmospheric temperature. Refrigerators are generally available to keep such articles at the temperature below the atmospheric temperature in order to prevent such articles from deterioration and spoilage. When at home, the refrigerators may keep the articles below the atmospheric temperature and prevent the articles from deterioration and spoilage. A problem arises while traveling, as the refrigerators available are heavy and bulky in shape and size. Such refrigerators may not be easily carried while traveling to keep the articles below the atmospheric temperature. To overcome the problem of ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0007]Another object of the present invention is to provide a portable apparatus that is smaller in size so as to be easily accommodated in a purse or in a pocket of a user to avoid his / her extra burden while traveling.

Problems solved by technology

A problem arises while traveling, as the refrigerators available are heavy and bulky in shape and size.

Such refrigerators may not be easily carried while traveling to keep the articles below the atmospheric temperature.

The temporary arrangement of the container having the ice cubes may not be effective while traveling for long hours, as the ice cubes may eventually melt.

The container with the melted ice cubes may not be effective in maintaining the temperature below the atmospheric temperature, resulting in deterioration and spoilage of the articles.

Further, another major problem with such container having ice cubes is of carrying while traveling, as the container may be heavy and bulky, which may add extra burden.
