wall structure comprising mutually conforming inner and outer
wall elements entirely spaced from one another to inhibit
transfer of a temperature condition there past into the

requirement for this subclass is met by structure consisting
of outer wall elements, an intervening lining, and an
innermost wall or lining construction.

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.
