A clasp for a cooler, comprising:
- an inferior component, including:
- a first planar inner surface;
- a first outer surface;
- a first completely planar pad connected to the first planar inner surface;
- at least one flange having a first through-bore;
- and,
- a first buckle portion connected to the first planar inner surface;
- and,
- a superior component displaceable relative to the inferior component, the superior component including:
- a second planar inner surface;
- a second outer surface;
- a second completely planar pad connected to the second planar inner surface;
- a hinge portion having a second through-bore;
- and,
- a second buckle portion operatively arranged to engage the first buckle portion and secure the superior component to the inferior component;
- wherein:
- a first pin engages the first and second through-bores to hingedly connect the superior component with the inferior component;
- and,
- in a fully closed position, the first completely planar pad and the second completely planar pad form a clamp.
A cooler comprising a lateral wall and at least one clasp connected to the lateral wall for securing a bag therein, the at least one clasp, comprising:
- an inferior component fixedly secured to the lateral wall, including:
- a first surface;
- a first completely planar pad connected to the first surface;
- and,
- a first buckle portion connected to the first surface;
- and,
- a superior component pivotable relative to the inferior component, the superior component including:
- a second surface;
- a third surface parallel to the second surface;
- a second completely planar pad connected to the second surface;
- and,
- a second buckle portion operatively arranged to engage the first buckle portion and secure the superior component to the inferior component;
- wherein in a fully closed position, the first pad and the second pad form a clamp for securing the bag.
A cooler, comprising:
- a floor;
- a lateral wall;
- and,
- a plurality of clasps operatively arranged to secure a bag, wherein each clasp of the plurality of clasps comprises:
- an inferior component fixedly secured to the lateral wall, including:
- a first inner surface;
- a first completely planar pad connected to the first inner surface;
- and,
- a first buckle portion fixedly secured to the first inner surface;
- and,
- a superior component pivotably connected to the inferior component, the superior component including:
- a second inner surface;
- a second completely planar pad connected to the second inner surface;
- and,
- a second buckle portion operatively arranged to engage the first buckle portion and secure the superior component to the inferior component;
- wherein in a fully closed position, the first pad and the second pad form a clamp for securing the bag.
