Portable misting cooler apparatus and system

A portable misting apparatus comprising:

• an insulated cooler portion comprising a bottom surface, side walls, and a top configured to define an internal area, the internal area being configured to retain a volume of water therein,
• wherein the insulated cooler portion comprises a bag-style cooler having flexible thermally insulated side walls and a rigid bottom surface,
• wherein the bottom surface of the insulated cooler portion comprises an aperture configured to receive a flow of water therethrough,
• wherein the aperture is disposed through the rigid bottom surface;
• and
• a base assembly comprising a rigid housing, the rigid housing comprising an upper surface and an interior area,
• wherein the base assembly comprises a water inlet disposed on the upper surface of the rigid housing and a water outlet disposed on a first surface of the rigid housing,
• wherein the bottom surface of the insulated cooler portion is interfaced with the upper surface of the rigid housing such that the water inlet is interfaced with the aperture of the insulated cooler portion to receive the flow of water therethrough,
• wherein the base assembly comprises a pump housed in the interior area of the rigid housing, wherein the pump is operably configured to receive the flow of water from the water inlet and output a pressurized flow of water to the water outlet,
• wherein the water inlet comprises a filter fitting configured to filter debris or particulates from the flow of water before the flow of water is received by the pump,
• wherein the rigid bottom surface comprises a plurality of protrusions configured to be received by a plurality of connector apertures disposed on the upper surface of the rigid housing to secure the insulated cooler portion to the base assembly,
• wherein the rigid housing comprises an upper perimeter configured to retain a lower perimeter of the insulated cooler portion, and
• wherein the base assembly comprises a rechargeable battery selectively received within a battery compartment of the rigid housing and configured to provide a flow of power to the pump.

A portable misting system comprising:

• an insulated cooler portion comprising an interior area configured to retain a volume of water therein, a bottom surface, and an aperture disposed on the bottom surface configured to pass a flow of water therethrough,
• wherein the insulated cooler portion comprises a bag-style cooler having flexible thermally insulated side walls and a rigid bottom surface, wherein the aperture is disposed through the rigid bottom surface;
• a base assembly comprising a rigid housing comprising an upper surface, a water inlet disposed on the upper surface of the rigid housing, a pump housed in an internal area of the rigid housing, and a water outlet disposed on a surface of the rigid housing,
• wherein the water inlet comprises a filter fitting configured to filter debris or particulates from the flow of water before the flow of water is received by the pump,
• wherein the bottom surface of the insulated cooler portion is interfaced with the upper surface of the rigid housing such that the aperture disposed on the bottom surface is interfaced with the water inlet to pass the flow of water therethrough,
• wherein the rigid bottom surface comprises a plurality of protrusions configured to be received by a plurality of connector apertures disposed on the upper surface of the rigid housing to secure the insulated cooler portion to the base assembly,
• wherein the rigid housing comprises an upper perimeter configured to retain a lower perimeter of the insulated cooler portion,
• wherein the pump is operably configured to receive the flow of water from the water inlet and output a pressurized flow of water to the water outlet;
• and
• at least one hose segment selectively coupled to the water outlet, the at least one hose segment comprising at least one misting nozzle,
• wherein the at least one hose segment is configured to receive the pressurized flow of water via the water outlet and output a mist of water via the at least one misting nozzle, and
• a rechargeable battery selectively received within a battery compartment of the rigid housing and configured to provide a flow of power to the pump.
