System of thermally insulated transport case

Abstract

Transport case 1 , including a set of insulating walls 7 P, 7 G, 7 D, 7 S, 7 R forming a front opening 8 , an insulating door 6 and horizontal rails 35 attached to inner sides of walls 7 D, 7 G, 7 S, these rails being arranged in order to removably slide eutectic blocks 36 therein and to hold them against the walls.

1 . A parallelipipedic transport case ( 1 ) comprising:
 a set of fixed insulating walls ( 7 P,  7 G,  7 D,  7 S,  7 R) forming a front opening ( 8 ),   an insulating door ( 6 ) hinged with said fixed walls to close said opening and   horizontal rails ( 35 ) attached to inner sides of some walls ( 7 D,  7 G,  7 S) from said fixed walls, said rails being arranged in order to removably slide eutectic blocks ( 36 ) therein and to hold the blocks along respective walls, said blocks being plate-shaped.   
     
     
         2 . The cease according to  claim 1 , wherein the fixed walls have a substantially rectangular shape and comprise two vertical side walls ( 7 D,  7 G), a floor ( 7 P) and an upper wall ( 7 S), between which the opening ( 8 ) is formed, and, opposite said opening, a rear vertical wall ( 7 R), some at least of the rails being attached to at least one of said side walls. 
     
     
         3 . The case according to  claim 2 , wherein the rails are arranged to form three superimposed rows of blocks ( 36 ). 
     
     
         4 . The case according to  claim 2 , wherein some at least of the rails are attached to the upper wall. 
     
     
         5 . The case according to  claim 1 , wherein each rail has a U-shape having one upright attached to a respective wall, the other upright being designed to hold at least one block, two rails being arranged opposite each other to slide a row of at least one block therein. 
     
     
         6 . The case according to  claim 1 , wherein the walls, and/or the door, comprise insulating panels includes an insulating layer ( 13 ) sandwiched between two skins ( 11 ,  12 ), said layer preferably being a polyurethane foam having a shore A hardness of between 30 and 40, and said skins preferably being a gelcoat, preferably a white gelcoat. 
     
     
         7 . The case according to  claim 6 , further comprising an angle ( 16 ) to protect an edge formed by two adjacent panels. 
     
     
         8 . The case according to  claim 1 , further comprising a base arranged so that a lifting fork can be inserted on each side of the case, said base preferably comprising five legs, each of the first four being close to a respective corner of the case and the fifth substantially equidistant from the first four. 
     
     
         9 . The case according to  claim 1 , further comprising a housing ( 41 ) for a parameter recorder ( 40 ), formed in one of the walls ( 7 G), and a hole ( 43 ) through said wall for a wire connecting the recorder to at least a temperature probe attached inside the case. 
     
     
         10 . The case according to  claim 1 , wherein the case outer dimensions:
 overall height (H 1 ) less than or equal to 1600 mm;   depth (P 1 ) less than or equal to 1600 mm;   width (L 1 ) less than or equal to 1210 mm.   
       and/or the following inner dimensions:
 useful height greater than or equal to 1300 mm; 
 useful depth greater than or equal to 1200 mm; 
 useful width greater than or equal to 800 mm, preferably greater than or equal to 1200 mm.
