The thermal bag (2) is made of thermally insulating composite material folded to form a bottom and welded along lateral borders (3) to form a body (1) of the bag with a mouth (5) at the level of which a handle (7A, 7B) is applied. The composite material defines a bottom folded in an accordion-like fashion opposite the mouth of the bag, and a laminar stiffening element (15) of the accordion-like bottom is disposed inside the bag.

1. A thermal bag, comprising: thermally insulating composite material folded to form a bottom and welded along lateral borders to form a body of the bag with a mouth at the level of which a handle is applied, said handle having a hand grip portion and a longitudinal portion forming at least a portion of a closing device for said mouth, said composite material defining a bottom folded in an accordion-like fashion opposite the mouth of the bag, wherein a laminar stiffening element of the accordion-like bottom is disposed inside the bag, said hand grip portion and said longitudinal portion having a shorter length than a length of said mouth when the bag is in a flattened position, wherein in the folded position an accordion forming the bottom of the bag has beveled borders along which welding lines are produced, the beveled borders on each side of the bag converging in a corner, the two opposed corners being joined by a folding line of the accordion-like bottom. 2. A thermal bag as claimed in claim 1, wherein the difference between the length of the handle and the length of said mouth is equal to at least approximately the width of the accordion-like bottom, when said bag is in an extended position. 3. A thermal bag as claimed in claim 1, wherein the length of said handle is substantially equal to or slightly less than the transverse dimension of the laminar stiffening element. 4. A thermal bag as claimed in claim 1, wherein said laminar stiffening element is separated from the composite material forming said bag and positioned loose in said bag. 5. A thermal bag as claimed in claim 1, wherein said composite material is composed of a first outer sheet, a second inner sheet and a thermally insulating sheet interposed between said outer sheet and said inner sheet. 6. A thermal bag as claimed in claim 1, wherein said composite material is composed of a first outer sheet, a second inner sheet and a thermally insulating sheet interposed between said outer sheet and said inner sheet, and wherein along said beveled borders welds are formed between opposite portions of the inner surface of the second inner sheet of the composite material forming the bag. 7. A thermal bag as claimed in claim 1, wherein said laminar stiffening element contains a refrigerating fluid. 8. A thermal bag as claimed in claim 7, wherein said fluid is composed of a mixture of water and monopropylene glycol. 9. A thermal bag as claimed in claim 1, wherein said laminar stiffening element is made of cellular plastic. 10. A thermal bag as claimed in claim 9, wherein said laminar stiffening element is made of cellular polypropylene. 11. A thermal bag as claimed in claim 1, wherein said laminar stiffening element is made of cardboard enclosed in a cover made of a polymer material. 12. A thermal bag as claimed in claim 1, wherein said composite material has an outer sheet composed of a multilayer metallized polymer material. 13. A thermal bag as claimed in claim 12, wherein said outer layer is composed of a polyester (PET) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) laminate. 14. A thermal bag as claimed in claim 12, wherein said outer sheet made of multilayer polymer material has two outer layers in a material weldable to itself. 15. A thermal bag as claimed in claim 12, wherein said outer sheet is composed of a laminate comprising a layer of polyester (PET) interposed between two layers of low density polyethylene (LDPE). 16. A thermal bag as claimed in claim 12, wherein said outer layer is composed of a laminate comprising a layer of propylene, a layer of polyester and a layer of low density polyethylene. 17. A thermal bag as claimed in claim 1, wherein said composite material has a thermally insulating intermediate sheet composed of a foamed polymer material. 18. A thermal bag as claimed in claim 17, wherein said foamed polymer material is a foamed low density polyethylene with closed cells. 19. A thermal bag as claimed in claim 1, wherein said composite material includes an inner layer made of low density polyethylene. 20. A thermal bag as claimed in claim 1, wherein the accordion-like bottom in the open position has a width approximately equal to half the height of the bag. 21. A thermal bag, comprising: a bag body comprising a bag mouth portion, a handle, a bag bottom portion and lateral borders, said bag bottom portion, said mouth portion and said lateral borders comprising thermally insulating composite material, said bag bottom portion having a bag bottom portion length, said bag mouth portion having a bag mouth portion length, said bag body being welded along said lateral borders, said handle comprising an integral portion extending in a longitudinal direction of said handle, said integral portion defining at least a portion of a closing device for said mouth, said integral portion engaging said bag mouth portion, said integral portion having an integral portion length, said integral portion length being less than said bag mouth portion length with the bag body in a flattened position, said bag bottom portion length being less than said bag mouth portion length, said bag bottom portion length being less than said integral portion length; anda laminar stiffening element disposed inside the bag. 22. A thermal bag in accordance with claim 21, wherein said bag bottom portion is folded in an accordion-like fashion opposite the bag mouth portion. 23. A thermal bag in accordance with claim 22, wherein in the folded position the bag bottom portion has beveled borders along which welding lines are produced, the beveled borders on each side of the bag converging in a corner, the two opposed corners being joined by a folding line of the bag bottom portion.
