Abstract

An insulation wrap includes an insulation batt defining a top end and a bottom end, the insulation batt defining an inner side and an outer side; a wrap liner blank including an inner portion extending across a first panel and a second panel of the wrap liner blank, the inner side of the insulation batt positioned facing the inner portion; a ledge portion extending across the first panel and the second panel of the wrap liner blank, the ledge portion hingedly coupled to the inner portion by an inner hinge, the top end of the insulation batt positioned facing the ledge portion; and an outer portion extending across the first panel and the second panel of the wrap liner blank, the outer portion hingedly coupled to the ledge portion by a ledge hinge.

First claim

That which is claimed is:

1. A wrap liner blank comprising:
an outer portion extending from a first panel to a second panel, the outer portion defining an outer hinge coupling the first panel to the second panel;
a ledge portion extending across the first panel and the second panel, the ledge portion coupled to the outer portion by a first ledge hinge and a second ledge hinge;
an inner portion extending across the first panel and the second panel, a first inner hinge, and a second inner hinge each coupling the inner portion to the ledge portion; and
an inner side flap hingedly coupled to the inner portion at a side hinge.

2. The wrap liner blank of claim 1 , further comprising an insulation batt and wherein an outer side of the insulation batt is coupled to the outer portion of the wrap liner blank.

3. The wrap liner blank of claim 1 , wherein the outer hinge is perpendicular to the first inner hinge, an outer side of an insulation batt is coupled to the outer portion of the wrap liner blank, and an inner side of the insulation batt is coupled to the inner portion of the wrap liner blank.

4. The wrap liner blank of claim 1 , wherein:
the inner side flap extends at least partially across a clearance notch separating a portion of the inner portion; and
the inner side flap is coupled to the portion of the inner portion at the side hinge.

5. The wrap liner blank of claim 1 , wherein:
the first panel is foldable relative to the second panel about the outer hinge; and
the inner portion defines a clearance notch separating a portion of the inner portion.

6. The wrap liner blank of claim 1 , wherein:
the ledge portion comprises a first ledge portion defined by the first panel and a second ledge portion;
the ledge portion defines a ledge clearance notch in the first ledge portion; and
the ledge clearance notch separates a portion of the first ledge portion defined by the first panel from the first ledge portion defined by the second panel.

7. The wrap liner blank of claim 1 , wherein:
the wrap liner blank defines a first end and a second end opposite from the first end; and
the first end and the second end define a closure mechanism configured to secure the first end to the second end.

8. The wrap liner blank of claim 1 , wherein the wrap liner blank defines:
a first end defining an aperture; and
a second end opposite the first end and comprising a tab configured to be received in the aperture defined at the first end.

9. The wrap liner blank of claim 8 , wherein the tab and the aperture are defined by the outer portion of the wrap liner blank.

10. An insulation wrap comprising:
an insulation batt defining an inner side and an outer side; and
a wrap liner blank comprising:
an inner portion comprising the insulation batt extending across a first panel and a second panel of the wrap liner blank;
a ledge portion extending across the first panel and the second panel of the wrap liner blank, an inner hinge coupling the ledge portion to the inner portion, the insulation batt positioned facing the ledge portion;
an outer portion extending across the inner portion of the wrap liner blank, a ledge hinge coupling the outer portion to the ledge portion, the insulation batt facing the outer portion, an outer hinge between the first panel and the second panel wherein the first panel is foldable relative to the second panel from an unfolded configuration to a folded configuration, an insulated cavity within the inner portion of the wrap liner blank; and

an inner side flap coupled to the inner portion.

11. The insulation wrap of claim 10 , wherein a top end of the insulation batt is captured in a channel between the outer portion and the inner portion of the wrap liner blank.

12. The insulation wrap of claim 10 , wherein the outer side of the insulation batt is coupled to the outer portion of the wrap liner blank.

13. The insulation wrap of claim 10 , wherein the inner side of the insulation batt is coupled to the inner portion of the wrap liner blank.

14. The insulation wrap of claim 10 , wherein:
in the unfolded configuration:
the inner portion of the first panel is substantially parallel to the inner portion of the second panel; and

in the folded configuration:
the inner portion of the first panel is substantially perpendicular to the inner portion of the second panel.

15. The insulation wrap of claim 10 , wherein:
the insulation batt extends across the first panel and the second panel;
the wrap liner blank extends across a third panel and a fourth panel; and
the outer hinge is a first outer hinge, and the outer portion of the wrap liner blank defines:
a second outer hinge between the second panel and the third panel; and
a third outer hinge between the third panel and the fourth panel.
