## Abstract

A self propelled food and beverage receptacle. This device has an insulated storage means, in combination with a driving mechanism. Said driving mechanism allows for differential speed, steering, and breaking. The present device is thought to be most beneficial in serving large crowds, where the stored cargo must be quickly and efficiently transported over relatively large distances. Particular embodiments are envisioned where a device operator may ride upon said receptacle, or merely guide said receptacle with very little effort.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A self propelled food and beverage receptacle, comprising:
An insulated storage means, configured to allow easy access to a storage compartment, and to provide adequate support for carry cargo, and for attachment to a motor means in a stable manner,
a motor means, attached to said insulated storage means and configured to provide adequate propulsion for said storage means,
a breaking means so situated to provide adequate speed reduction of said storage means,
a steering means in combination with said breaking means,
and at least one wheel in combination with said steering means and said breaking means.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The self propelled food and beverage receptacle of claim 1, further comprising at least one foot peg, configured to provide sufficient support for a rider upon said receptacle.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The self propelled food and beverage receptacle of claim 1, where said motor means is gasoline powered.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The self propelled food and beverage receptacle of claim 1, where said motor means is electric powered.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The self propelled food and beverage receptacle of claim 1, where said storage means is further configured to provide adequate support to a driver of said receptacle.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The self propelled food and beverage receptacle of claim 1, further comprising a throttle mechanism configured to provide differential speed of said receptacle.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The self propelled food and beverage receptacle of claim 1, where said steering means may be collapsed or angled for ease of driving or towing.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The self propelled food and beverage receptacle of claim 1, further comprising an attachment means whereby said receptacle may be reversibly attaché to a towed and/or towing vehicle.
