First and second face members (12, 14) are secured to the opposite sides of a honeycomb core (16) to provide a structural wall (10). A phase change material (22) is provided within the cells (20) of the wall (10), so that the wall (10) also has the capability of storing thermal energy. The thermal wall (10) may be constructed in the form of a removable shelf (28) for a container (30). It may be constructed in the form of a fixed wall (60) of a container. Such a thermal wall (10) can be constructed to be in the form of a serving vessel, e.g. a dish (FIGS. 14 and 16), a cup (FIG. 13), or the like. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A food storage cart on wheels comprising two sidewalls, a top wall, a bottom wall and a rear wall, together defining a storage space having an access opening, and a door for closing said access opening movable between an open position and a closed position, wherein food is received within said storage space, wherein at least one of said walls and door of said cart is a thermo wall of a sandwich construction, comprising an inside face member bounding said storage space, an outside face member, a honeycomb core between the two face members, and means connecting said face members to the opposite sides of the honeycomb core, said honeycomb core including cells having sidewalls extending perpendicular to said face members, said face members closing the ends of said cells, and a phase change material within said cells which has a heat of fusion which is substantially higher than the heat of fusion of water.
2.
A food storage cart according to claim 1, wherein the outer face member is a sandwich construction and includes a foam core and an outside face membrane.
3.
A food storage cart according to claim 2, wherein the outer face member also includes an inside face membrane which is connected to the honeycomb core.
4.
A food storage cart according to claim 1, wherein the thermo wall is a sidewall of the cart.
5.
A food storage cart according to claim 2, wherein the outer face member is a sandwich construction and includes a foam core and an outside face membrane.
6.
A food storage cart according to claim 5, wherein the outside face member also includes an inside face membrane which is connected to the honeycomb core.
7.
A food storage cart according to claim 1, wherein at least the two sidewalls of the cart are thermo walls of the type described.
8.
A food storage cart according to claim 7, wherein the outer face member is a sandwich construction and includes a foam core and an outside face membrane.
9.
A food storage cart according to claim 8, wherein the outer face member also includes an inside face membrane which is connected to the honeycomb core
