Преимущественно, охлаждающий элемент содержит хладагент в упаковке. Хладагентом охлаждающего элемента является вода, или солевой раствор, или гель, или сухой лед. Преимущественно, хладагент в охлаждающих элементах используется в замороженном состоянии. Лучший результат достигается, когда корпус модуля выполнен из картона или гофрокартона или ткани или нетканого текстильного материала, а корпус модуля дополнительно термоизолирован. Преимущественно, термоизоляция корпуса выполнена, путем оборачивания материалом с низкой теплопроводностью. Лучший результат достигается, когда охлаждающие элементы и блоки свежих продуктов в модуле образуют пространственную сотовую конструкцию, а охлаждающие элементы сопрягаются между собой и с внутренней поверхностью корпуса модуля посредством фиксирующих элементов. Фиксирующие элементы выполнены в виде охлаждающих элементов. Лучший результат достигается, когда корпус модуля выполнен в виде параллелепипеда, при этом длина охлаждающего элемента составляет 1,0–0,9 размера меньшего ребра корпуса модуля, и охлаждающие элементы расположены параллельно ребрам корпуса модуля, а суммарный вес жидкости в охлаждающих элементах составляет 0,15-0,25 суммарного веса свежих продуктов в модуле. При использовании полезной модели достигается увеличение продолжительности сохранения пониженной температуры повышение прочности и исключение, тем самым, деформации свежих продуктов при транспортировании, а также упрощение конструкции устройства для хранения и ...

STARTING MATERIAL FOR A FLAT-DOMED MOLDED PLASTIC PART, IN PARTICULAR A HOUSING PART, AND MOLDED PART CREATED THEREFROM

In order to reduce the wall thickness of housing parts produced by means of plastic injection molding and equipped with decorative layers, such as battery covers of mobile devices, it is recommended to change to a starting material that is a fiber composite material equipped on one side with the decorative layer, from which starting material the housing part is formed in a deep drawing process. Even if a thick decorative layer the outer surface of which is highly embossed for haptic reasons is applied, the resulting wall thickness remains far below the wall thickness for a housing part that can be produced by means of injection molding. An even further reduction of the wall thickness is achieved if a fiber composite material is used as the deep drawing starting material for the shaped part, the decorative material being directly foamed or injected onto the surface of the fiber composite material. 18-.

COMMUNION TRAY HAVING CORNER CUP DISPOSAL OPENINGS

The present invention solves the problem of possible contamination of unconsumed liquid contained by communion cups that remain in the circular apertures of the cup array of the tray cover. The problem has been solved by moving the empty cup disposal openings from their current central locations in the tray cover to the four corners thereof. The new configuration makes it awkward for a congregant to dispose of his cup by reaching over cups containing unconsumed liquid. Although the improved tray cover is configured to hold 34 cups rather than 36, the loss of capacity of 2 cups is considered to be an acceptable compromise for decreasing the spread of disease causing organisms. 1. A liquid distribution communion tray assembly comprising:a unitary tray bottom having a floor, an upwardly-extending perimetric wall, and a perimetric edge atop the perimetric wall;a handle secured to the floor; anda generally rectangular tray cover having a central oblong aperture that fits over the handle, a plurality of cup-retaining apertures for receiving a plurality of liquid-filled miniature drinking cups, said cup-retaining apertures sized so that a miniature drinking cup cannot pass through any one of them, an empty cup disposal opening at each corner of the tray cover through which empty drinking cups can dropped into a cup-disposal space defined by inner surfaces of the lower tray and a lower surface of the tray cover, and a downwardly-projecting perimetric flange that fits over the perimetric edge atop the perimetric wall.2.
