Transport container system and transport container

Abstract

The transport container ( 6 ) has an inner bottom ( 7 ) and an inner shell ( 8 ) and forms an upwardly open receiving space ( 9 ) for goods to be transported. The inner container ( 6 ) comprises at least one inwardly protruding projection ( 11 ), at least on each of two opposite sides, on the upper edge of the inner casing ( 8 ). The clear distance between the oppositely arranged projections ( 11 ) is slightly smaller than the corresponding inner dimension—length or width—of the inner bottom ( 7 ) in the receiving space ( 9 ), such that the projections ( 11 ) form a support for a latent heat storage element ( 10 ), i.e. a latent heat storage element ( 10 ) with a corresponding outer dimension can be positioned on said projections ( 11 ).
