Abstract

An insulation wrap includes an insulation batt defining a top end and a bottom end, the insulation batt defining an inner side and an outer side; a wrap liner blank including an inner portion extending across a first panel and a second panel of the wrap liner blank, the inner side of the insulation batt positioned facing the inner portion; a ledge portion extending across the first panel and the second panel of the wrap liner blank, the ledge portion hingedly coupled to the inner portion by an inner hinge, the top end of the insulation batt positioned facing the ledge portion; and an outer portion extending across the first panel and the second panel of the wrap liner blank, the outer portion hingedly coupled to the ledge portion by a ledge hinge.

Claims (53)

1. An insulation wrap comprising:

an insulation batt; and

a wrap liner blank comprising:

a first panel comprising an aperture;

a second panel comprising a barbed tab that is wider than the aperture;

a side hinge coupling the first panel to the second panel; and

a closure mechanism comprising the insulation batt within the insulation wrap, wherein the barbed tab is secured within the aperture to form a closed joint formed between the first panel and the second panel.

2. The insulation wrap of claim 1 , wherein the insulation batt extends across the first panel and the second panel.

3. The insulation wrap of claim 1 , wherein the side hinge further comprises a ledge clearance notch formed by folding a tab of a ledge portion of the first panel about a clearance notch hinge extending across the ledge portion from an inner portion of the first panel to an outer portion of the first panel.

4. The insulation wrap of claim 3 , wherein the inner portion defined by the first panel is substantially parallel to an inner portion defined by the second panel in an unfolded configuration.

5. The insulation wrap of claim 3 , wherein the inner portion defined by the first panel is substantially perpendicular to an inner portion defined by the second panel in a folded configuration.

6. The insulation wrap of claim 1 , wherein the first panel and the second panel each further comprise:

an inner portion extending across the first panel and the second panel, the insulation batt positioned facing the inner portion;

a ledge portion extending across the first panel and the second panel and coupled to the inner portion by an inner hinge; and

an outer portion extending across the first panel and the second panel coupled to the ledge portion by a ledge hinge.

7. The insulation wrap of claim 6 , wherein the closure mechanism comprises the aperture of the first panel and the barbed tab of the second panel, and the closure mechanism is disposed on the outer portion of the first panel and the outer portion of the second panel.

8. The insulation wrap of claim 6 , wherein the insulation batt is captured within a channel defined between the outer portion and the inner portion, and the closure mechanism is disposed on the outer portion of the first panel and the outer portion of the second panel.

9. The insulation wrap of claim 6 , wherein the insulation batt is coupled to the inner portion and the outer portion.

10. An insulation wrap comprising:

an insulation batt; and

a wrap liner blank comprising:

a first panel comprising:

an aperture;

an inner hinge coupling a ledge portion of the first panel to an inner portion of the first panel; and

an outer hinge comprising a relieved edge;

a second panel comprising:

an inner hinge coupling a ledge portion of the second panel to an inner portion of the second panel; and

a pair of outer hinges each comprising a relieved edge;

a third panel comprising:

a barbed tab that is wider than the aperture;

an inner hinge coupling a ledge portion of the third panel to an inner portion of the third panel; and

an outer hinge comprising a relieved edge;

a side hinge coupling the first panel to the second panel; and

a closure mechanism comprising the insulation batt within the insulation wrap, wherein the barbed tab is secured within the aperture to form a closed joint formed between the first panel and the second panel.

11. The insulation wrap of claim 10 , wherein the insulation batt extends across the first panel, the second panel, and the third panel, and wherein the insulation batt is fully enclosed.

12. The insulation wrap of claim 10 , wherein the first panel, the second panel, and the third panel each further comprise:

the inner portion extending across the first panel and the second panel, the insulation batt positioned facing the inner portion;

the ledge portion extending across the first panel and the second panel and coupled to the inner portion by the inner hinge; and

an outer portion extending across the first panel and the second panel coupled to the ledge portion by a ledge hinge.

13. The insulation wrap of claim 10 , wherein the closure mechanism comprises the aperture of the first panel and the barbed tab of the third panel, and the closure mechanism is disposed on an outer portion of the first panel and an outer portion of the third panel.

14. The insulation wrap of claim 10 , wherein the insulation batt is captured within a channel defined between an outer portion and the inner portion, and the closure mechanism is disposed on the outer portion of the first panel and the outer portion of the third panel.

15. The insulation wrap of claim 10 , wherein the insulation batt is coupled to the inner portion and an outer portion.

16. The insulation wrap of claim 10 , wherein the first panel is foldable relative to the second panel about the outer hinge of the first panel and at least one of the pair of outer hinges of the second panel, and the second panel is foldable relative to the third panel about at least one of the pair of outer hinges of the second panel and the outer hinge of the third panel.

17. The insulation wrap of claim 10 , wherein the inner portion defines a clearance notch separating the inner portion defined by the first panel from a portion of the inner portion defined by the second panel, and wherein an inner side flap extends at least partially across the clearance notch, and wherein the inner side flap is coupled to the portion of the inner portion defined by the first panel.

18. The insulation wrap of claim 10 , wherein each outer hinge is perpendicular to each of inner hinge.

19. The insulation wrap of claim 10 , wherein the side hinge of each of the first panel, the second panel, and the third panel further comprises a ledge clearance notch formed by folding a tab of a ledge portion of the first panel about a clearance notch hinge extending across the ledge portion from an inner portion of the first panel to an outer portion of the first panel.

20. The insulation wrap of claim 19 , wherein:

in an unfolded configuration:

the inner portion defined by the first panel is substantially parallel to the inner portion defined by the second panel; and

the inner portion defined by the second panel is substantially parallel to the inner portion defined by the third panel; and

in a folded configuration:

the inner portion defined by the first panel is substantially perpendicular to the inner portion defined by the second panel; and

the inner portion defined by the second panel is substantially perpendicular to the inner portion defined by the third panel.
