Abstract

Insulation container for holding temperature-sensitive products, comprising at least one vacuum insulation element, the at least one vacuum insulation element coming into contact with at least two connecting surfaces, with a sealant is arranged on the connecting surfaces in order to reduce heat exchange along the connecting surfaces.

Claims (14)

1 . Insulation container for receiving temperature-sensitive products, comprising at least one vacuum insulation element, wherein the at least one vacuum insulation element comes into abutment against at least two connecting surfaces, wherein a sealing means is disposed on the connecting surfaces in order to reduce heat exchange along the connecting surfaces by closing of opening gaps created between the vacuum insulation elements.

2 . Insulation container according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing means is disposed between the connecting surfaces in each case completely or partially along the connecting surface.

3 . Insulation container according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing means is designed to be flexibly deformable and has a thickness in the range from 0.5 mm to 10 mm, in particular 2 mm to 4 mm.

4 . Insulation container according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing means is disposed laterally at the abutment joint of the connecting surfaces in each case completely or partially along the connecting surface.

5 . Insulation container according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing means in each case is designed in one piece or in multiple pieces at the connecting surfaces.

6 . Insulation container according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing means comprises an adhesive, in particular an adhesive tape, a bonding agent, spray latex or a combination thereof.

7 . Insulation container according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing means comprises a heat transfer minimizing material, in particular a thermal insulation material, a swelling tape, foam material or a combination thereof.

8 . Insulation container according to claim 1 , further comprising four side insulation elements, a bottom insulation element and a lid insulation element, wherein the four side insulation elements and the bottom insulation element are brought into abutment with each other along the respective connecting surfaces so as to form a receiving space which is open on one side for receiving the temperature-sensitive products, wherein the lid insulation element and the four side surface elements are brought into abutment with each other along the respective connecting surfaces in such a way as to completely cover the receiving space, wherein a sealing means is disposed on and/or along each connecting surface.

9 . Insulation container according to claim 1 , further comprising four side insulation elements, a bottom insulation element and a lid insulation element, wherein the four side insulation elements and the bottom insulation element are brought into abutment with each other along the respective connecting surfaces so as to form a receiving space which is open on one side for receiving the temperature-sensitive products, wherein the lid insulation element and the four side surface elements are brought into abutment with each other along the respective connecting surfaces in such a way as to completely cover the receiving space, wherein a sealing means is disposed only at and/or along the connecting surface between the lid insulation element and the four side surface elements and/or the bottom insulation element and the four side surface elements.

10 . Insulation container according to claim 1 , wherein the vacuum insulation elements comprise a vacuum insulation panel.

11 . Insulation container according to claim 10 , wherein the vacuum insulation panels of the vacuum insulation elements are each embodied as a single layer or as multiple layers.

12 . Insulation container according to claim 1 , further comprising a sheathing completely or partially surrounding the insulation container, the product or the vacuum insulation elements.

13 . Insulation container according to claim 1 , wherein corner elements are disposed at the outer edges of the insulation container formed along the connecting surfaces, which are designed in such a way as to at least partially enclose the outer side of the vacuum insulation elements.

14 . Insulation container according to claim 1 , wherein at least one strap for stabilizing the vacuum insulation elements is disposed along the outer sides of the vacuum insulation elements.
