Abstract
A single-walled disposable cooler can include: a body including a base and a plurality of support walls coupled to the base, the plurality of support walls and the base defining an interior cavity of the body, and the plurality of support walls extending upwardly from the base to form an opening at an upper terminus of the body in fluid communication with the interior cavity; and a lid configured to reversibly couple with the body, the lid shaped to cover the opening of the body. The body can be made entirely of a pulp-based material.
Claims21
A single-walled disposable cooler comprising:
- a body including a base and a plurality of support walls coupled to the base, at least one of the plurality of support walls including an entirely planar surface, the plurality of support walls and the base defining an interior cavity of the body, and the plurality of support walls extending upwardly from the base to form an opening at an upper terminus of the body in fluid communication with the interior cavity;
- a lid configured to reversibly couple with the body, the lid shaped to at least substantially cover the opening of the body;
- wherein the body is made entirely of a disposable, biodegradable and/or recyclable material, the disposable, biodegradable and/or recyclable material being a pulp-based material;
- wherein the lid is formed so as to fit inside of upper ends of the plurality of support walls;
- wherein the outer edges of the lid extend downwardly below upper ends of the plurality of support walls, and said lid having a handle portion at a central region thereof.
