Abstract
A cooler for the transportation and cooling of, particularly, canned beverages including a thermally insulated container having an open end and a retainable cover forming a receptacle for the beverages with a spacer means to hold the canned beverages about the periphery of the receptacle and to form, with the surfaces of the canned beverages, a cavity for a cooling agent, the outer surface of the container being adapted to roll with the cover being retained in sealing engagement. Upon transportation by rolling of the cooler the beverages within the cans are cooled by contact between the cooling agent and the can surfaces forming the cavity.
