Patent ID: 8151599

Claim:
A transport container for maintaining a temperature of frozen goods ( 26 ), comprising a) an insulation container ( 2 ), which b) is accessible via an insulating cover part ( 45 ) and c) has superinsulation with a thermal conductivity λ≦0.002 W/(mK); d) a cooling container ( 16 ) comprising a coolant chamber ( 21 ) arranged in the insulation container ( 2 ), which coolant chamber e) surrounds a sample chamber ( 24 ) for the frozen goods ( 26 ) except for an access opening ( 25 ) on a fastener side, f) is permanently hermetically sealed and g) comprises a coolant which h) emits cold by solid/liquid phase transition, i) undergoes phase transition in a temperature range between −15° and −100° C. and j) has a heat of fusion of at least 50 J/ml, wherein k) the cooling container ( 16 ) comprises a coolant chamber ( 21 ) is fixedly integrated in the insulation container ( 2 ); l) the insulation container ( 2 ) extends beyond the sample chamber ( 24 ) by a length which exceeds its transverse dimensions by at least a factor of three by forming a neck-shaped opening ( 25 ); m) on an outer end of the neck opening ( 25 ), provision is made for an insulation ring ( 15 ) which n) insulates an inner wall ( 3 ) and an outer wall ( 4 ) of the insulation container ( 2 ) from each other, and o) elastically mounts the inner wall ( 3 ) with the connected cooling container ( 16 ) with respect to the outer wall ( 4 ), p) a plug ( 28 ) being assigned to a cover part ( 45 ) and which q) extends into the neck-shaped opening ( 25 ) with an insulation shaft ( 30 ), r) fills the neck-shaped opening ( 25 ) substantially over its entire length, and s) is sealed from the inner wall ( 3 ) of the insulation container ( 2 ) on a protruding end by means of a neck seal ( 33 ); t) a container seal ( 9 ) is arranged between the insulation container ( 2 ) and the cover part ( 45 ), and u) an evacuation apparatus ( 48 ) is provided for evacuating a cover interior ( 47 ), including an annular gap ( 32 ) surrounding the insulation shaft ( 30 ).
