Device for detecting the defrosting of frozen products
First Claim
1. A device for detecting the defrosting of frozen products, which comprises a rigid container, on the inside of which there are two solutions, one at least aqueous and saline and another one at least colored, separated by a septum breakable at the moment of freezing, said container being wholly filled with one of the solutions in one portion with respect to said septum.

Abstract
A process for detecting and signaling the defrosting, even temporary, of frozen products which consist in providing a detecting device consisting of a closed container having therein a colorless and a colored element which, under frozen conditions, are separate from each other but will admix and form a single colored mixture on defrosting. The presence of said single mixture indicates that defrosting has taken place. The device is also disclosed and claimed.

10. A device for detecting the defrosting of frozen products, which comprises a container containing an aqueous saline solution separated from an expansible hygroscopic body by a septum breakable at the time of freezing.
-
11. A device for detecting the defrosting of frozen products, which comprises a container consisting of two flat slates welded along their edges and containing a sheet of blotting paper, one of said slates having a cavity containing a previously frozen colored solution, said solution being in touch with the blotting paper.
-
12. A device for detecting the defrosting of frozen products, which comprises a rigid container in which there is an aqueous saline solution separated by a septum from an element capable of lowering the eutectic point of said solution, said solution containing a colored mechanical indicator element and said septum being breakable at the time of freezing of said solution.
