Abstract
An insulating transport/storage container for transporting/storing temperature sensitive materials, with a generally tubular wall element defining a load volume between first and second apertures at either end thereof, the tubular wall element having an axis. First and second closures operate to close first and second apertures and fastening means operable to secure said first and second closures. The tubular wall element comprises a multiple-layer winding of single-sided corrugated sheet, with the layers coupled together whereby to define a high level of thermal resistance.

An insulating transport/storage container for transporting/storing temperature sensitive materials, the container comprising:
- an outer box;
- a generally tubular wall element defining a load volume between first and second apertures at either end thereof;
- first and second closure elements operable to close the first and second apertures;
- and,
- wherein the box has sidewalls, a lid, and a base, which defines a container volume when the lid and base are closed;
- wherein the tubular wall element comprises a multiple-layer winding of single-sided corrugated sheet, with the layers coupled together;
- wherein the box is shaped to accommodate the tubular wall element and the first and second closures within the container volume;
- and,
- wherein, upon securement of the box with the tubular wall element and the first and second closures contained within the container volume, the closure elements are brought together with respect to the tubular wall element at the ends thereof, about mutually contacting areas.
