This subclass is indented under subclass 100. Subject matter in which the valve consists, essentially,
of a flexible diaphragm of rubber or other material placed over
an opening which communicates with the interior of the barrel. When
the pressure within falls below atmospheric pressure, the diaphragm
is raised or distended, exposing the opening, through which air
is admitted into the barrel, thus restoring the equilibrium and
permitting the liquid contents to be freely drawn.

(1)
Note. The temperature barrier space may be void or may be
packed with insulation material or panels. Thus, the requirement
for this subclass is met by structure consisting of outer wall elements,
an intervening lining, and an innermost wall or lining construction.
(2)
Note. The inner wall structure may be removable as a unit,
in which case it is distinguishable from mere removable receptacle
structure by the requirement that the removal involves an act of
disconnecting some element; as opposed to mere lifting from the
box, involving nothing more than the possible displacement of a
closure.

inner and outer wall elements entirely spaced from one another to inhibit
transfer of a temperature condition therepast into the contents
space.

and see the search notes in the latter locus.
for a box accommodating a refrigerant and a container
