Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to an insulating cover comprising four side-walls and a roof-structure, the side-walls and the roof-structure comprising an outer and an inner layer of a flexible material and an intermediate insulating layer of an elastic foamed plastics material or like material. At least a part of the side-walls are openable by means of slide chain fastener means extending around the part, and the cover is intended to be placed over and around goods carried by a substantially rectangular load-carrying device, such as a pallet, having arranged around at least two mutually opposite side-edges a substantially planar frame-structure, which projects upwardly from the load-carrying surface of said load-carrying device, wherein two mutually opposite side-walls and the roof-structure extending therebetween form a coherent unit which is detachably connected to the other two side-walls by means of sliding chain fasteners.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
An insulating cover (3) comprising four side-walls (4,5,6,7) and a roof-structure (8), said side-walls and said roof-structure comprising an outer and an inner layer (9,11) of a flexible material and an intermediate insulating layer (10) of an elastic foamed plastics material, at least one of the side-walls being openable by means of slide chain fastener means, and said cover being intended to be placed over and around goods carried by a substantially rectangular load-carrying device, such as a pallet, having arranged on at least two mutually opposite side-edges a substantially planar frame-structure (2), which projects upwardly from the load-carrying surface of said load-carrying device, wherein two mutually opposite side-walls (5,7) and the roof-structure (8) extending therebetween form a coherent unit which is detachably connected to the other two side-walls (4,6) by means of said slide chain fastener means (12,13).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
139 words
An insulating cover (3) comprising four side-walls (4,5,6,7) and a roof-structure (8), said side-walls and said roof-structure comprising an outer and an inner layer (9,11) of a flexible material and an intermediate insulating layer (10) of an elastic foamed plastics material, at least one of the side-walls being openable by means of slide chain fastener means, and said cover being intended to be placed over and around goods carried by a substantially rectangular load-carrying device, such as a pallet, having arranged on at least two mutually opposite side-edges a substantially planar frame-structure (2), which projects upwardly from the load-carrying surface of said load-carrying device, wherein two mutually opposite side-walls (5,7) and the roof-structure (8) extending therebetween form a coherent unit which is detachably connected to the other two side-walls (4,6) by means of said slide chain fastener means (12,13).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
A cover according to claim 1, characterized in that said unit has extending along said slide chain fastener means a flap (17) which extends beyond said fastener means and which is arranged to lie between the adjacent side-wall (4) and the frame structure (2,18).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
62 words
A cover according to claim 1 or claim 2, characterized in that said slide chain fastener means comprises a first chain fastener part (16) joined to said unit (5,7,8,) and a second chain fastener part (15) joined to the adjacent wall (4) of said other side-walls, of which chain fastener parts at least one is attached to an elastic securing tape (21).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
A cover according to claims 1 or 2, characterized in that on the lower edge of each of said side-walls there is provided an inwardly projecting elastic sealing flange (19) which is arranged to lie against the edges of the loading pallet (1).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
A cover according to claim 2, characterized in that the flap (17) is provided with a longitudinally extending fold (23) which forms a hinge.
