Thermal storage lid

In combination, a thermal energy storage lid and a container to which the thermal energy storage lid is removably connected, the thermal energy storage lid comprising:

• a first panel having an attachment element located around a periphery thereof, the attachment element having a generally U-shaped radial cross section defining a groove therein and being snap fit engageable with a container attachment element by receiving the container attachment element within the groove, the first panel generally having a first thickness;
• a second panel, offset from the first panel, and having a peripheral edge connected to the first panel to form a compartment generally coextensive with the second panel, the second panel generally having a second thickness, the first and second thicknesses being generally the same;
• the first and second panels being non detachably secured together;
• a sealed pouch disposed within the compartment;
• and
• a thermal energy storage material located in the sealed pouch.

A thermal energy storage lid for a container, comprising

• a first panel having an attachment element located around a periphery thereof, the attachment element being adapted to engage a complementary container attachment element, the first panel being formed of transparent or translucent material, the first panel generally having a first thickness;
• a second panel, offset from the first panel, and having a peripheral edge connected to the first panel to form a compartment generally coextensive with the second panel, the second panel being formed of transparent or translucent material, the second panel generally having a second thickness, the first and second thicknesses being generally the same;
• a heat seal securing the first and second panels together in a non detachable fashion and sealing the compartment;
• a sealed pouch disposed within the compartment;
• and
• a thermal energy storage material located in the sealed pouch.
