STORAGE SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MEDICINES

摘要

People can damage their medicines by taking them outside in hot or cold weather. On the other hand, some people need to carry their medicines with them wherever they go (even if the weather is extremely hot or cold). Specially constructed storage systems can protect medicines from damage due to hot and cold weather without requiring bulky structures or expensive components that consume electricity to regulate temperature.

1. A medicine storage system configured to protect a medicine from a first external temperature less than a minimum recommended storage temperature and from a second external temperature greater than a maximum recommended storage temperature by utilizing phase changes to regulate a temperature of the medicine, the medicine storage system comprising:
an insulated container; a first chamber located inside the insulated container, wherein the first chamber is configured to hold a removable medicine container; and a phase change system comprising a second chamber having a first phase change material and comprising a third chamber having a second phase change material, wherein the phase change system is located inside the insulated container, wherein the first phase change material has a first melting temperature greater than 33 degrees Fahrenheit and less than 74 degrees Fahrenheit, and the second phase change material has a second melting temperature less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit and at least four degrees greater than the first melting temperature.
