Abstract
A system for protecting temperature sensitive products. The system comprises a cover that fits over a product. The cover has a first component, a second component, and a closure system. The first component covers the top of the product and at least a portion of a first side of the product, and the second component covers at least a portion of the other sides of the product. The closure system closes openings between the first component and the second component and tightens the cover around the product. The cover is removable from the product by releasing the closure system and pulling the second component of the cover in a horizontal or downward direction away from the first side of the product.
Claims24
A system adapted for protecting temperature sensitive products comprising:
- a cover that is adapted to fit over a product, the cover having a first component, a second component, and a closure system;
- wherein the first component is adapted to cover a top of the product and at least a portion of a first side of the product, and the second component is adapted to cover at least a portion of a second side of the product, at least a portion of a third side of the product, and at least a portion of a fourth side of the product;
- wherein the closure system is adapted to close openings between the first component and the second component and is adapted to tighten the cover around the product and wherein the closure system is positioned along a first opening at one vertical edge of the first component and along a second opening at another vertical edge of the first component;
- wherein the first component comprises a top section, a front section extending from a front side of the top section, a rear flap extending from a rear side of the top section, a left side flap extending from a left side of the top section, and a right side flap extending from a right side of the top section, wherein the second component includes a rear section, a left side section, and a right side section, wherein the rear flap of the first component overlaps and is fixed to the rear section of the second component, wherein the left side flap of the first component overlaps and is fixed to the left side section of the second component, wherein the right side flap of the first component overlaps and is fixed to the right side section of the second component, wherein the front section of the first component is adapted to be secured, using the closure system, to the left and right side sections of the second component, and wherein, independently of the closure system, the first component and the second component are fixed permanently to one another at points between or at a seam of the overlap;
- and
- wherein the first component and the second component are removable from the product by releasing the closure system and pulling the second component of the cover in a horizontal or downward direction away from the first side of the product.
