Liner for Container

Abstract The invention describes a thermal liner for a container. The liner is thermally reflective and thus assists in maintaining an ambient temperature inside the container. It is simple to install and remove from the container. The liner includes a pole system which fits between the width sides of the container. Each pole in the system is compressible which allows it to be simply compressed by hand, and fitted against the sides of a container. The compression or tension in the compressed pole is then released so that the pole holds the liner in place across the width of the container. At least two poles are required to hold the liner in place: one at each longitudinal end of a container. Other attachments means may be also used in conjunction with the compression pole system. The liner may have embedded magnets for the side walls. Figure 1 1-12 L24 -6
