The present invention provides an insulation panel assembly, comprising at least two insulation panels 4a to 4e for a container 1 and a sheet 58 on which the panels are pre-assembled ready for insertion into the container 1, wherein the at least two panels are substantially planar, each having an inner face to, in use, face inwards towards contents of the container, an outer face to in use face outwards away from the contents of the container, a top edge, a bottom edge and two opposed side edges, wherein the sheet 58 is cut, stamped or formed so that the sheet 58 wraps over at least the top or bottom edges of the insulation panels and has covering sections (fig 23, 84) which respectively cover each inner face of the at least two panels, the sheet also having at least one section in the form of a continuous strip (fig 20, 82, 83) which runs along the outer faces of the at least two panels, wherein the sheet 58 permits the at least two panels to be laid out in a flat linear array and also permits the at least two panels to be folded inwardly toward each other until they are substantially at right angles to each other, with those sections of the sheet covering the inner faces of the panels remaining substantially flat against those inner faces and with the strip section of the sheet on the outer faces constraining the panels, causing adjacent side edges of the panels to abut or causing a side edge of one panel to abut the edge of the inner face of an adjacent panel. The invention provides for assisting in the assembly of insulation panels and has particular application to insulated shipping containers. |
