Abstract
People can damage their medicines by taking them outside in hot or cold weather. On the other hand, some people need to carry their medicines with them wherever they go (even if the weather is extremely hot or cold). Specially constructed storage systems can protect medicines from damage due to hot and cold weather without requiring bulky structures or expensive components that consume electricity to regulate temperature.
Claims19
A storage system comprising:
- a phase change system;
- a first container configured to hold at least a portion of the phase change system;
- and
- a first chamber located within the first container and configured to hold a medicine,
- wherein the phase change system comprises a first phase change material and a second phase change material, wherein the first phase change material has a first melting temperature greater than 40 degrees Fahrenheit and less than 74 degrees Fahrenheit, and the second phase change material has a second melting temperature greater than 74 degrees Fahrenheit and less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

A method of storing a medicine, the method comprising:
- obtaining a storage system comprising a phase change system, a first container configured to hold at least a portion of the phase change system, and a first chamber located within the first container, wherein the first chamber is configured to hold a medicine, and wherein the phase change system comprises a first phase change material and a second phase change material, the first phase change material having a first melting temperature greater than 40 degrees Fahrenheit and less than 74 degrees Fahrenheit, and the second phase change material having a second melting temperature greater than 74 degrees Fahrenheit and less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit;
- placing the medicine in the first chamber;
- and
- storing the storage system in a first environment such that the first phase change material is liquid and the second phase change material is solid.
