Insulated carrier

Abstract

An insulated carrier includes a substantially rigid frame and a plurality of members supported on the substantially rigid frame. The substantially rigid frame includes an insulating material and is configured to at least partially insulate containers held by the insulated carrier from ambient conditions. The plurality of members supported on the substantially rigid frame is configured to contact and support containers held by the insulated carrier. At least one of a heat dissipating characteristic and an abrasion resisting characteristic of the members is greater than a corresponding characteristic of the insulating material of the substantially rigid frame. An insulating cover may also be provided to receive the substantially rigid frame.
