Abstract
An on-demand thermal insulator system has a a body that is configured to transition between a collapsed form non-deployed state and a deployed state. The body while in the non-deployed state allows a transfer of thermal energy through a defined boundary. The body while in the deployed state in resisting the transfer of thermal energy resists transfer through the defined boundary. In particular configurations, the body has a layer disposed between two material that receives fluid when transitioning from the non-deployed state to the deployed state.
Claims19
An on-demand thermal insulator system comprising:
- a body configured to transition between a non-deployed state and a deployed state, the body configured to resist the transfer of thermal energy when in the deployed state and, when in the non-deployed state, is retracted to a first position from which the body is configured to traverse a guided path to a second, deployed position, wherein:
- the body while in the deployed state is positioned against a defined boundary having transparent material through which light is configured to pass;
- the body while in the deployed state resists the transfer of thermal energy through the defined boundary;
- and
- the body while in the non-deployed state allows a transfer of thermal energy through the defined boundary;
- and
- a track comprising a channel configured to receive wheels coupled to the body to actively guide the body's movement during deployment and retraction between the non-deployed state and the deployed state.
