Abstract Mobile and collapsible insulating insert for storage and transportation containers. The insert has a hood which has connected outside surfaces made of non-foamed, flexible material. The mass and contours thereof correspond to the inside surfaces of the container. The outside surfaces are provided with pockets of non-foamed, flexible material, projecting into the inside of the hood, disposed closely one beside the other and extending over the length of the outside surfaces. The pockets are filled tightly and alternatingly with an open-celled foam plastic and a closed foam plastic. The hood has a releasable closing arrangement, which permits the temporary connection of at least one of the outside surfaces of the hood with the adjacently located outside surfaces of an insulating bottom plate. A fluid-tight bottom trough is attached between the bottom of the storage and transportation container and the bottom plate of the insulating insert.
Mobile and collapsible insulating insert for a storage and transportation container, consisting of (i) a hood, which consists of connected outside surfaces made of non-foamed, flexible material, the mass and contours of which correspond to the inside surfaces of the container, and which is provided with pockets of non-foamed, flexible material, projecting into the inside of the hood, disposed closely one beside the other, and extending over the length of the outside surfaces, said pockets being filled tightly and alternatingly with open-celled foam plastic cores and closed foam plastic cores, and which has a releasable closing arrangement, which permits connection temporarily of at least one of the outside surfaces to the adjacently-located outside surfaces of (ii) an insulating bottom plate and (iii) a fluid-tight bottom trough, which is attached between the bottom of the storage and transportation container and the bottom plate of the insulating insert.
