Definitions

• the invention relates to a device for the thermal insulation of containers of different shapes and different contents and to improve the stability.
• a large number of devices made of plastics are known in order to keep liquids at a constant temperature for as long as possible.
• Devices for bottles with printable films are also known.
• the device should have a printable film on the outside, which can be labeled with any inscriptions, e.g. with advertising labels can be provided.
• the invention consists of an insulating part (1) which holds a container and has an outer side (2) on which a commercially available printable plastic film can be adhered with a firm fit. Any film that adheres to the insulating material can be applied to the outside.
• the outside (2) of the insulating part (1) can be cylindrical as in Fig.l or barrel-shaped as in Fig.3.
• the insulating part is closed on one or both sides by means of a base (5) and / or a cover (6), the cylindrical or barrel-shaped part and the base or the cylindrical or barrel-shaped part and the cover being manufactured in one piece .
• the insulating part is shaped to match the container, the cylindrical or barrel-shaped Outside (2) run parallel to the longitudinal axis (see Fig. 1,3).
• the device can be used for the partial or complete thermal insulation of containers with contents.
• the insulating part can be made from the usual thermal insulation materials, e.g. from various plastics, preferably from Styropor® (registered trademark) according to the embodiment according to claim 2. Styropor® causes a low heat transfer and keeps the contents of the container cool or warm for as long as possible.
• Styropor® registered trademark
• the device consists of one part or two parts, two parts being connected to each other by a nose (3) and a corresponding groove (4). This is necessary so that the individual parts are always put together in the same way, especially when a labeled film extends over both parts of the device. This prevents the label from moving.
• the content of the container is preferably a liquid and in particular a drink such as beer, wine, lemonade, milk, etc. according to the special embodiment according to claim 4.
• the device is suitable for barrel-shaped containers such as party beer kegs (15), it has a bottom (5) and a lid (6) and is opened and closed horizontally at the point with the largest circumference of the abdomen can (see Fig. 3).
• the lid can have an indentation or, as shown in FIG. 3, be closed on the outside and serve as a further advertising medium.
• a further embodiment is present according to claim 6, in which the device for thermally insulating a party keg can have a cold pack (7) in the lid (6) in a corresponding recess in the insulating part (8) in order to hold the beer even more To keep time cool, which is especially necessary on hot summer days (see Fig. 4). To make it easier to remove the battery, the lid can contain 2 cutouts (12).
• the recess for the battery is so deep that the battery surface (16) is at the same height as the recess for the folded edge of the beer barrel (13), so that the battery rests on the edge.
• the hollow space (14) between the battery and the lid of the beer keg enables air circulation of the colder air downwards and the warmer air upwards. This allows the beer keg to be kept very cold for several hours.
• a dispensing device (9) can be located in a corresponding recess in the insulating part (10) according to the special embodiment according to claim 7 (see Fig. 5).
• the distance between the floor (5) and the base (11) of the thermal insulation device is at least 3 cm according to a preferred embodiment according to claim 8. This allows the party keg to be placed and the dispensing device optimally integrated into the floor (see Fig. 3). .
• the tap is locked by the adapted bottom so that it can no longer be moved when opening and closing the tap, which was previously possible because the barrel was only on 3 small plastic feet. These are supplied with the usual dispensing devices. So it often happened that the barrel including the tap fell over when opening and closing the tap, if you did not hold it with one hand.
• a special property of the thermal insulation device is therefore the improved stability of party beer kegs that it brings about.
