Flexible insulated container

A thermally insulated flexible container constructed of a flexible foam sheet material, comprising:

• (a) a flexible bottom and a pair of flexible end panels projecting from fixed attachment to said bottom in spaced, substantially parallel relationship;
• (b) a pair of flexible side panels extending from fixed attachment to said bottom in spaced, substantially parallel relationship, with the edges of a lower segment of each of said side panels attached to said end panels along a portion of the length of said side panels, respectively, and an upper segment of each of said side panels extending beyond the top edges of said end panels, with said bottom, said end panels and said side panels forming an enclosure;
• (c) at least one opening provided in said upper segment of each of said side panels, whereby said upper segment of each of said side panels is selectively joined at said opening, for carrying said flexible container in a first carrying mode and said upper segment of said side panels are each optionally folded against each other in lapped relationship, in a second non-carrying mode;
• (d) a seal flap having one edge attached to one of said side panels and foldable on said top edges of said end panels and against the opposite one of said side panels, for closing said flexible insulated container;
• (e) upper segment closure means secured to at least one of said side panels near said extending edges of said side panels and fold line closure means secured to at least the opposite one of said side panels near said fold lines, for folding said opposite one of said side panels over said seal flap and folding said at least one of said side panels over said opposite one of said side panels substantially along said fold lines and engaging said upper segment closure means and said fold line closure means to removably secure said side panels in folded configuration;
• and
• (f) flap closure means carried by said seal flap in spaced relationship near the edges of said seal flap and end panel closure means secured to said top edges of said end panels in alignment with said flap closure means, for engaging said flap closure means and removably securing said seal flap in closed configuration on said top edges of said end panels.
