Abstract

An insulated box assembly includes an insulated box, the insulated box including a box, the box including a bottom panel and a side panel, the side panel attached to the bottom panel, the box defining a box cavity; and an insulated panel attached to the side panel, the insulated panel including an insulation batt and a sheet, the insulation batt enclosed between the side panel and the sheet; and an insulated cavity panel, the insulated cavity panel disposed within the box cavity, the insulated cavity panel including a cavity sheet and a cavity insulation batt, the cavity sheet encapsulating the cavity insulation batt.

First claim

That which is claimed is:

1. An insulated box assembly comprising:
an insulated box comprising:
a box comprising:
a bottom panel;
a first side panel;
a second side panel, the first side panel and the second side panel attached to the bottom panel, the box defining a box opening of a box cavity disposed opposite from the bottom panel;
a first shoulder disposed proximate the box opening and extending inward into the box cavity from the first side panel;
a second shoulder disposed proximate the box opening and extending inward into the box cavity from the second side panel;
a first insulated panel attached to the first side panel, the first insulated panel comprising an insulation batt and a sheet, the insulation batt enclosed between the first side panel and the sheet;
a second insulated panel attached to the second side panel and attached to the bottom panel opposite from the first side panel; and
a box top panel enclosing the box cavity at a top end of the box; the box top panel resting upon the first shoulder and the second shoulder; and

an insulated cavity panel, the insulated cavity panel attached to the side panel and disposed within the box cavity, the insulated cavity panel comprising a cavity sheet and a cavity insulation batt, the cavity sheet encapsulating the cavity insulation batt.

2. The insulated box assembly of claim 1 , wherein:
the first side panel defines a lip and a bottom taper;
the lip is disposed opposite from the bottom taper; and
the lip is configured to receive another bottom taper of another insulated box.

3. The insulated box assembly of claim 1 , wherein:
the sheet is a first sheet;
the first insulated panel further comprises a second sheet; and
the insulation batt is disposed within a panel cavity defined between the first sheet and the second sheet.

4. The insulated box assembly of claim 1 , wherein:
the box cavity defines a horizontal cross-section;
the horizontal cross-section is defined substantially parallel to the bottom panel; and
the insulated cavity panel is sized complimentary to the horizontal cross-section.

5. The insulated box assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a carrying accessory, wherein:
the carrying accessory defines a first side portion and a second side portion disposed opposite from the first side portion;
the carrying accessory defines a middle portion disposed between the first side portion and the second side portion;
the middle portion extends beneath the bottom panel;
the first side portion extends upwards from the middle portion and adjacent to the first insulated panel;
the second side portion extends upwards from the middle portion and adjacent to the second insulated panel; and
the first side portion and the second side portion each define a handle.
