ABSTRACT:
A rod-supported insulated freight cover for thermally protecting temperature-sensitive goods during transport. The freight cover has a front cover, a rear cover, and a series of at least three consecutively adjoined, substantially rectangular panels of insulated material. The series has a front panel, a rear panel and intermediate panels between the front and rear panels. The intermediate panels are relatively coupled along crossbound seams on two opposite edges to other panels. Some or all of the crossbound seams have rods longitudinally sewn therein. The rods provide transverse support for the freight cover, facilitating its application and removal. The rods also discourage the freight cover from receding from the side of the container after application by providing beam-like support which prevents the freight cover from falling into center voids or concavities resulting from specific load patterns and uneven load heights. Thus, a flush fit to the sidewalls is maintained throughout transport and air mixture on the sides of the container is substantially inhibited.
