A thermally insulated foam chest holds hot and cold articles in separate insulated environments. The chest comprises a body separated into two compartments by a partition wall, one compartment being adapted to contain the major portion of a beverage bottle in an upright position. The chest also includes a chest having a pair of recesses adapted to mate selectively with the aforesaid compartment for containing a top portion of the bottle. Dividing wall means between the recesses engages the partition wall irrespective of which recess is mated with the compartment. Portions of a flexible carrying strap, which is secured to abutments on opposite sides of the body, locate within channels on opposite sides of the lid to prevent the lid from falling from the body should the chest be bumped or knocked during transport by means of the carrying strap.
A thermally insulated chest comprising a body and a detachable lid for thermally sealing engagement therewith, said body having a pair of thermally insulated compartments separated by a partition wall asymmetrically disposed within said body with at least one of said compartments being constructed to receive and hold upright a beverage bottle of greater height than that compartment, said lid having a pair of recesses respectively adapted to mate with said compartment and separated by dividing wall means adapted to engage said partition wall irrespective of which of said recesses is mated with said compartment, whereby the major portion of said bottle is contained within said compartment and a top portion of said bottle is contained within the recess mated with said compartment.
A thermally insulated chest comprising a hollow body having a partition wall asymmetrically disposed therein for dividing said body into a pair of compartments and a detachable lid adapted to be fitted to the top of said body in either of two orientations, selectively, said lid having a pair of recesses adapted to mate with said pair of compartments, said recesses being separated by dividing wall means adapted to engage said partition wall in both of said orientations of the lid.
