Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the thermal insulation of Containers of different shapes and different contents and to improve stability.
  • a device for thermal insulation is known of liquids or ice cream in one accordingly cup-shaped container made of polystyrene.
  • the device has a holding and grip part, which consists of a printable Foil made of plastic (DE-U1 88 09 446.4).
  • DE-U1 90 01 200.3 also describes a heat-insulating container for bottled drinks and cylindrical tin cans described, the outer surface of which are used for advertising purposes can.
  • An insulating housing for party barrels is described in DE-U1 91 10 483.1 described.
  • the housing is located on the inside wall corresponding recesses, especially in the barrel-shaped Part of the case, several cold storage batteries.
  • a two-part barrel-shaped device according to the preamble of claim 1 for the isolation of Beverage barrels are known from DE 33 28 447. It is with closed a lid and bottom and the insulating layer of surrounded by a plastic jacket. The device is used to keep cool of beer kegs using cooling systems or with ice and is inside adapted to the barrel. In the middle of the lid and near the bottom There are cutouts for one in a side wall Dispenser.
  • the task now was to have a device allows the contents of containers of different shapes, i.e. not only of cans and bottles, but also of barrel-shaped containers, depending on a longer period To keep the need cool or warm so that their stability, e.g. is improved during a dispensing process. Beyond that the device has a printable film on the outside have with any labels, e.g. With Advertising labels can be provided.
  • the invention relates to a device for the partial or complete thermal insulation of a container with contents, consisting of a two-part insulating part (1) which receives a container and has an outer side (2) on which a plastic film with a firm fit is adhesively attached, the insulating part ( 1) is barrel-shaped on the outside (2), closed on both sides by means of a base (5) and a lid (6) and shaped to fit inwardly for a barrel-shaped container and a recess (9) corresponding to a dispensing device (10) owns.
  • the plastic film can be printed and one part of the insulating part is made with a bottom and the second part with a lid in one piece.
  • the cutout for a dispensing device (9) is located below the base (5), the distance between the base (5) and the standing surface (11) being at least 3 cm (see FIGS. 1 to 3).
  • the insulating part can be made from the usual thermal insulation materials be manufactured, e.g. made from various plastics, preferably from Styropor® (registered trademark) according to the Embodiment according to claim 2. Styropor® causes one low heat transfer and keeps the contents of the container cool or warm as long as possible.
  • the two parts of the device by means one nose (3) and one corresponding groove (4) connected with each other. This is necessary for the individual parts are always put together in the same way, especially if there is a labeled film over both Parts of the device extends. This will cause a move the label avoided.
  • the device according to the invention is used for thermal insulation Used beverage.
  • the contents of the container are preferred a liquid and especially a drink like beer, wine, Lemonade, milk etc.
  • Device for barrel-shaped containers such as party beer kegs (15) suitable, this horizontally at the point with the largest Belly circumference can be opened and closed again (see Fig. 1).
  • the lid can have a recess or, as in Fig. 1 is shown, be closed on the outside and as another Serve advertising media.
  • a further embodiment is in accordance with claim 5, in which the device for thermally insulating a cold pack (7) in Cover (6) in a corresponding recess in the insulating part (8) can own the drink even more Time to keep cool, especially on hot summer days is required (see Fig. 2).
  • the lid can contain 2 recesses (12) inside.
  • the recess for the battery is so deep that the 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 on the Edge rests.
  • Through the cavity (14) between the battery and The lid of the beer keg will cool the air circulation Air downwards and warmer air upwards possible. This allows the beer keg to be very cold for several hours being held.
  • the distance between the floor (5) and the footprint (11) of the Thermal insulation device is at least 3 cm according to claim 1. This allows you to put the party barrel and the Optimally integrate the tapping device in the floor (see Fig. 3).
  • the Dispensing device is so through the adapted bottom locked that this when opening and closing the Zapfhahns can no longer move what was previously possible there the barrel was only on 3 small plastic feet. These will supplied with the usual dispensing devices. That's the way it is often happened that the barrel including the tap at Opening and closing the tap fell over if you didn't with one hand.
  • a special property of Thermal insulation device is therefore by itself brought about improved stability of party beer kegs.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 The exemplary embodiments are illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 explained.
  • Fig. 1 shows a section along a longitudinal axis of a Device for a party beer keg as a container according to one preferred embodiment, wherein the device is opened is.
  • Fig. 2 is a top view (of the lid) of one Design for a party beer keg as a container.
  • Figure 3 is a top view (of the bottom) of one Design for a party beer keg as a container.
