Multi-purpose utility tote

A multi-purpose utility tote comprising:

• a T-shaped unit having a perimeter, said substantially flat T-shaped unit having first and second rectangular sections, each of said first and second rectangular sections having a first end panel, a second end panel, and a middle panel, each of said first and second end panels and said middle panels being of substantially equal size, said first panel of said first rectangular section being connected to said middle panel of said second rectangular section to form said T-shaped unit;
• a zipper chain extending about said perimeter of said T-shaped unit, said zipper chain having a starting point at an internal corner of said T-shaped unit and extending continuously about said perimeter of said T-shaped unit to ultimately terminate at said internal corner;
• a slide fastener having a starting point at said internal corner of said T-shaped unit;
• said T-shaped unit being convertible into a cubic container by pulling said slide fastener from said starting point at said internal corner of said T-shaped unit to an end point at a further internal corner of said T-shaped unit, pulling of said slide fastener causing engagement of said zipper chain thereby folding said T-shaped unit to form side panels of said cubic container.

A multi-purpose utility tote comprising:

• a T-shaped unit having a perimeter and further having an internal lining, an external covering and insulating material, said insulating material disposed between said internal lining and said external covering, said T-shaped unit formed from first and second rectangular sections;
• stitching proceeding through said internal lining, said external covering and said insulating material said stitching dividing each of said first and second rectangular sections into a first end panel, a second end panel, and a middle panel, said first end panel of said first rectangular section being connected to said middle panel of said second rectangular section thereby to form said T-shaped unit;
• a zipper chain extending continuously about said perimeter of said T-shaped unit;
• a slide fastener having a starting point at an internal corner of said T-shaped unit, said slide fastener providing means for converting said T-shaped unit into a cubic container, said T-shaped unit being folded as a result of operation of said slide fastener whereby said first and second end panels and said middle panel of each of said first and second rectangular sections to form sides of said cubic container.
