Abstract:
A thermoelectric cooling apparatus for use with a motorcycle includes a housing having a bottom wall and a wall structure extending upwardly that defines an interior area and an open top providing selective access to the interior area. A conductive lining is situated adjacent to the insulation layer that includes an aluminum cooling plate upwardly displaced from the bottom wall such that the bottom wall, the wall structure and the cooling plate defining a hollow compartment. The cooling apparatus is mounted to a motorcycle with mounting straps and locked with a locking assembly. A thermoelectric assembly is situated in the compartment having a “cool” side coupled to a lower surface of the cooling plate of the lining and an opposed “hot” side, the thermoelectric assembly configured to electrically connect to the battery of the motorcycle such that the thermoelectric assembly conductively cools the cooling plate and the lining when actuated.

Claim (Index 11):
A thermoelectric cooling apparatus for use with a motorcycle having a plurality of mounting structures and a battery, comprising:\n a housing having a bottom wall and a continuous side wall extending upwardly from said bottom wall that defines an interior area and an open top that provides access to said interior area; a plurality of mounting straps mounted to an outer surface of said wall structure of said housing and attachable to said plurality of mounting structures of the motorcycle, respectively, said strap extending partially between said lid and said bottom wall; wherein at least one of said mounting straps includes a buckle selectively mounting said housing to a selected mounting structure of the motorcycle; a locking assembly coupled to said outer surface of said wall structure of said housing, said locking assembly comprising:\n a sleeve attached to said outer surface and extending along a circumference thereof, said sleeve defining an inner channel and defining an open inlet and an open outlet; \n a locking cable positioned in said inner channel of said sleeve, a portion of said locking cable extending outside of said open inlet and said open outlet for selective attachment to the exterior attachment structure of the motorcycle; \n a lock coupled to a proximal end of said locking cable for selectively receiving a distal end of said locking cable in a locked engagement; \n wherein said housing includes:\n a lid pivotally connected to an upper edge of said side wall and movable between an open configuration providing access to said interior area and a closed position preventing access to said interior area; \n an insulation layer coupled to an inner surface of said wall structure of said housing; \n a conductive lining situated adjacent to said insulation layer within said housing, said conductive lining having an aluminum cooling plate upwardly displaced from said bottom wall such that said bottom wall, said wall structure and said cooling plate define a hollow compartment; \n a thermoelectric assembly situated in said compartment having a \u201ccool\u201d side coupled to a lower surface of said cooling plate of said lining via at least one thermoelectric element and an opposed \u201chot\u201d side, said thermoelectric assembly configured to receive current from the battery of the motorcycle such that said thermoelectric assembly conductively cools said cooling plate and said lining when energized; and a heat pipe constructed of a conductive material having a first end operatively connected to at least one thermoelectric element of said thermoelectric assembly and a second end displaced from said first end and operatively connected to said conductive lining of said housing at a position upwardly displaced from said cooling plate, said heat pipe extending through said insulation layer between said first and second ends, respectively.
