A THERMALLY INSULATED CONTAINER AND METHOD FOR MAKING SAME

摘要

A thermally insulated container (1) comprising a lid (3) and a main body (2) moulded from a single piece of expanded foam with outwardly tapering inner walls, necessitated by the moulding process. The container (1) is arranged to be closed by the lid (3) so that cool packs (6) to (9) in the container (1) extend from a base inside the main body (2) to inside the lid (3), wherein the inner surface of the walls of the lid (3) are tapered such that positioning the lid (3) on the main body (2), with the cool packs arranged around the inner surfaces of the walls, causes the cool packs (6) to (9) to be aligned so that they extend vertically, perpendicular to an inner surface of the base of the main body (3). A method of moulding such a container is also provided.
