Thermally insulated cosmetics carrying case

Abstract

A thermally insulated cosmetics carrying case includes a chamber wall having oppositely disposed parallel first and second walls each formed with a refrigerant pack and temperature controlling characteristics. The first and second walls extend between opposed upper and lower ends and opposed first and second sides together bounding a storage compartment, and a closure is formed in the upper end to open and close the upper end with respect to the storage compartment. The refrigerant packs form elongate holding areas in the storage compartment to receive and hold heat-sensitive cosmetics, and which are arranged in parallel rows extending horizontally with respect to the storage compartment from proximate to the first side of the chamber wall to proximate to the second side of the chamber wall.

1 . A thermally insulated cosmetics carrying case, comprising:
 a chamber wall having oppositely disposed parallel first and second walls extending between opposed upper and lower ends and opposed first and second sides together bounding a storage compartment;   a closure formed in the upper end to open and close the upper end;   first and second auxiliary storage compartments formed in the first and second walls, respectively, extending between the upper and lower ends and the opposed first and second sides of the chamber wall;   first and second refrigerant packs positioned in the first and second auxiliary storage compartments, respectively;   the first refrigerant pack formed with opposed, unbroken parallel first pouches of refrigerant material separated by opposed, unbroken parallel first depressions, which first pouches and first depressions extend horizontally with respect to the storage compartment from proximate to the first side of the chamber wall to proximate to the second side of the chamber wall;   the second refrigerant pack formed with opposed, unbroken parallel second pouches of refrigerant material separated by opposed, unbroken parallel second depressions, which second pouches and second depressions extend horizontally with respect to the storage compartment from proximate to the first side of the chamber wall to proximate to the second side of the chamber wall;   the first and second walls supporting the first and second refrigerant packs in an opposed, parallel relation on either side of the storage compartment to form unbroken, elongate holding areas in the storage compartment each formed by and between a pair of opposed first and second depressions located between a pair of closely confronting first and second pouches on either side of the pair of opposed first and second depressions, and the elongate holding areas arranged in parallel rows extending horizontally with respect to the storage compartment from proximate to the first side of the chamber wall to proximate to the second side of the chamber wall; and   the first and second walls each formed with insulation to reduce heat transfer through the first and second walls to the first and second refrigerant packs positioned in the first and second auxiliary storage compartments, respectively, to reduce thermal loss between the storage compartment and the first and second refrigerant packs.   
   
   
       2 . The thermally insulated cosmetics carrying case according to  claim 1 , further comprising a first substantially fluid-impervious liner formed in the first wall between the first refrigerant pack and the storage compartment substantially preventing moisture transfer between the storage compartment and the first auxiliary storage compartment, and a second substantially fluid-impervious liner formed in the second wall between the second refrigerant pack and the storage compartment substantially preventing moisture transfer between the storage compartment and the second auxiliary storage compartment. 
   
   
       3 . The thermally insulated cosmetics carrying case according to  claim 1 , further comprising the first and second auxiliary storage compartments permanently closed to prevent unauthorized access to the first and second refrigerant packs positioned in the first and second auxiliary storage compartments, respectfully. 
   
   
       4 . The thermally insulated cosmetics carrying case according to  claim 1 , wherein the closure comprises a zipper. 
   
   
       5 . The thermally insulated cosmetics carrying case according to  claim 1 , further comprising a mirror attached exteriorly to the first wall. 
   
   
       6 . The thermally insulated cosmetics carrying case according to  claim 5 , wherein the mirror adjusts between an open position with respect to the first wall and a closed position with respect to the first wall. 
   
   
       7 . A thermally insulated cosmetics carrying case, comprising:
 a chamber wall having oppositely disposed parallel first and second walls extending between opposed upper and lower ends and opposed first and second sides;   the first wall including substantially coextensive first inner and first outer layers permanently joined to form a first auxiliary storage compartment extending between the upper and lower ends and the opposed first and second sides of the chamber wall;   the second wall including substantially coextensive second inner and second outer layers permanently joined to form a second auxiliary storage compartment extending between the upper and lower ends and the opposed first and second sides of the chamber wall;   first and second inner layers of the oppositely disposed parallel first and second walls, the opposed upper and lower ends, and the opposed first and second sides together bounding a storage compartment;   a closure formed in the upper end to open and close the upper end;   first and second refrigerant packs positioned in the first and second auxiliary storage compartments, respectively;   the first refrigerant pack formed with opposed, unbroken parallel first pouches of refrigerant material separated by opposed, unbroken parallel first depressions, which first pouches and first depressions extend horizontally with respect to the storage compartment from proximate to the first side of the chamber wall to proximate to the second side of the chamber wall;   the second refrigerant pack formed with opposed, unbroken parallel second pouches of refrigerant material separated by opposed, unbroken parallel second depressions, which second pouches and second depressions extend horizontally with respect to the storage compartment from proximate to the first side of the chamber wall to proximate to the second side of the chamber wall;   the first and second walls supporting the first and second refrigerant packs in an opposed, parallel relation on either side of the storage compartment to form unbroken, elongate holding areas in the storage compartment each formed by and between a pair of opposed first and second depressions located between a pair of closely confronting first and second pouches on either side of the pair of opposed first and second depressions, and the elongate holding areas arranged in parallel rows extending horizontally with respect to the storage compartment from proximate to the first side of the chamber wall to proximate to the second side of the chamber wall;   the first inner layer substantially flexibly conformable to the first pouches and the first depressions formed in the first refrigerant pack, and the second inner layer substantially flexibly conformable to the second pouches and the second depressions formed in the second refrigerant pack; and   a first insulation layer formed between the first outer layer of the first wall and the first refrigerant pack; and   a second insulation layer formed between the second outer layer of the second wall and the second refrigerant pack.   
   
   
       8 . The thermally insulated cosmetics carrying case according to  claim 7 , wherein the first inner layer of the first wall further comprises a first substantially fluid-impervious liner substantially preventing moisture transfer between the storage compartment and the first auxiliary storage compartment, and the second inner layer of the second wall further comprises a second substantially fluid-impervious liner substantially preventing moisture transfer between the storage compartment and the second auxiliary storage compartment. 
   
   
       9 . The thermally insulated cosmetics carrying case according to  claim 6 , wherein the closure comprises a zipper. 
   
   
       10 . The thermally insulated cosmetics carrying case according to  claim 6 , further comprising a mirror attached exteriorly to the first wall. 
   
   
       11 . The thermally insulated cosmetics carrying case according to  claim 10 , wherein the mirror adjusts between an open position with respect to the first wall and a closed position with respect to the first wall.
