Abstract: A multi-compartment modular cooler comprising multiple fully enclosed environments, including an insulated cold storage environment, a dry storage environment and an adjustable storage environment that may be either heated or cold storage. The fully enclosed environments may separate into self-contained individual containers. Each of the separate, self-contained enclosures may also recombine into a single unit, simplifying transportation of each section. Connection and disconnection of each section of the cooler may be facilitated by interfacing a plurality of pillars extending from a bottom surface of the upper section into one or more cup holder wells molded into the lid enclosing a lid of the lower section. The depth of the cup holder wells and the length of each pillar being inserted into the cup holder wells may provide significant stability for maintaining the upper section of the multi-compartment cooler in position while connected to the upper section.

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) vacuum insulation panel (VIP) and a folding approach to create the 3D VIP from a two-dimensional (2D) VIP of non-uniform thickness for a refrigerator, a refrigerator freezer or a non-appliance, are disclosed. The folding approach includes placing a VIP main panel and a plurality of VIP wall panels on an outer film, where one or more panels are of a greater thickness than other VIP panels; placing an inner film on top of the VIP main and wall panels and sealing the films together. The inner film is longer than the outer film and this allows the films and the VIP wall panels to be folded into a finished panel, wherein the longer inner film allows for fording without causing tears or micro-cracks in the film that would adversely affect the insulation properties of the three-dimensional (3D) VIP.
