Abstract
A cooler comprising a plurality of interconnected sidewalls defining an internal cavity for storing items therein; a bifurcated outer lid operatively connected to a left and right sidewall of the plurality of interconnected sidewalls and configured to move in a linear direction to open and close the bifurcated outer lid; and a removable inner tray operatively connected to the left and right sidewalls of the plurality of interconnected sidewalls and configured to move in a linear direction, or to be lifted and removed. The removable inner tray is arranged as a partition between the internal cavity and bifurcated outer lid when the removable inner tray is in a closed position.

A cooler comprising:
- a plurality of interconnected sidewalls defining an internal cavity for storing items therein;
- a bifurcated outer lid operatively connected to a left and right sidewall of the plurality of interconnected sidewalls and configured to move in a linear direction to open and close the bifurcated outer lid;
- and
- a removable inner tray operatively connected to the left and right sidewall of the plurality of interconnected sidewalls and configured to move in a linear direction, or to be lifted and removed,
- wherein the removable inner tray is arranged as a partition between the internal cavity and bifurcated outer lid when the removable inner tray is in a closed position.
A cooler comprising:
- a plurality of interconnected sidewalls defining an internal cavity;
- a bifurcated outer lid coupled to the plurality of interconnected sidewalls and configured to translate relative to the plurality of interconnected sidewalls to move between a closed position and an open position;
- and
- a removable inner tray positionable within the internal cavity,
- wherein the bifurcated outer lid is guided by cooperating glide components including:
- a glide path formed in the plurality of interconnected sidewalls;
- and
- a glide pin carried by the bifurcated outer lid, the glide pin being received within and guided by the glide path such that the bifurcated outer lid translates along a linear plane during opening and closing.
