US 11,466,920 B2 · Ice chest organizer system

Abstract

An organizer system for an ice cooler, ice chest or the like includes multiple trays of different heights that can be supported within a body of the ice cooler. The trays having different heights define multiple height compartments within the ice cooler, thereby enable different items such as cans, bottles, etc., to be stored with enhanced space efficiency. The trays each have dividing walls that define handles thereby enabling the trays to be removed from the ice cooler. The trays may be supported by a shelf within the ice cooler, or by an additional insert provided in the cooler. The insert may have sidewalls that abut the walls of the ice cooler. Cutouts may be provided in the insert sidewalls to enable drainage. The trays may also have openings for allowing cool air to circulate and to allow liquids to drain out of the trays. The openings may be positioned on the walls, bottom or both.
