Claims14
An insulated container configured to store consumables, the container comprising:
- a body having an insulated wall that encompasses a cavity, the cavity configured to hold consumables;
- a curved track configured to wrap around the body and upon which the body is able to be rolled, the curved track including a curved band wrapping around the body, the curved band having interior gear teeth that are continuous around a periphery of the curved band and that mate with teeth of a plurality of interior gears attached to the body, such that the curved track moves relative to the body;
- a leash attachable to the container and configured to pull the container so that the container rolls on the curved track, the leash having a first end attachable to the container, a second end opposite the first end and having a pump, and an air conduit along a length of the leash, the pump facilitating sending a pulse of air through the air conduit and wherein the container further comprises a braking mechanism actuated by the pulse of air to brake the container;
- and
- a ballast tank configured such that the pump and air conduit are configurable to pump air into the ballast tank.

An insulated container ball, comprising:
- a body, the body being one of spherical and ellipsoidal in shape, the body having an insulated wall that encompasses a cavity;
- and
- a rotational mechanism disposed around the body and upon which the body is able to be rolled, the rotational mechanism having gear teeth that are continuous around a periphery of the rotational mechanism and that mate with teeth of a plurality of interior gears attached to the body, such that the curved track moves relative to the body;
- a leash attachable to the insulated container ball and configured to pull the insulated container ball so that the insulator container ball rolls on the curved track, the leash having a first end attachable to the container, a second end opposite the first end and having a pump, and an air conduit along a length of the leash, the pump facilitating sending a pulse of air through the air conduit and wherein the container further comprises a braking mechanism actuated by the pulse of air to brake the insulated container ball;
- and
- a ballast tank configured such that the pump and air conduit are configurable to pump air into the ballast tank.
