Patent ID: 7451603

Claim:
A portable cooled merchandizing unit comprising: a product container assembly including an interior floor to support product and at least one interior panel extending from the floor to define a portion of an interior region, the product container assembly further defining an opening to the interior region opposite the floor and a first airflow path extending along at least a portion of an exterior of the panel and fluidly connected to the opening; a thermoelectric assembly connected to the product container assembly and including a thermoelectric device, a first heat sink fluidly connected to the first airflow path away from the opening, and a first fan positioned adjacent the first heat sink; a support surface supporting the first heat sink and separating the first heat sink from a condensate reservoir; a conduit fluidly connecting the surface and the condensate reservoir to deliver condensation from the first heat sink to the condensate reservoir; a bottom plate defining an inlet opening and an outlet opening; and a frame assembled to, and extending upwardly from, the bottom plate, the frame integrally forming the condensate reservoir and forming a support conduit fluidly connecting the inlet opening and the thermoelectric assembly, wherein the frame supports the support surface, and wherein the condensate reservoir is affixed relative to the frame and is non-movable relative to the support conduit; wherein the first fan operates to circulate air from the first heat sink, through the first airflow path, and to the opening.
