Abstract
The portable cooler is a portable refrigeration system for selectively and adjustably cooling a removable container, such as a beer keg, for example. The portable cooler includes a housing that defines an open interior region for removably receiving the keg. A door is pivotally mounted to the housing, providing the user with selective access to the open interior region. A refrigeration device is mounted within the housing, adjacent the container, and may be powered by an external power supply or by rechargeable batteries, also received within the housing. Wheels are pivotally mounted to a lower end of the housing, and a handle is mounted to an upper end of the housing, allowing the user to selectively transport the housing and keg.
Claims24
A portable cooler for cooling large keg-sized removable containers, comprising:
- a housing having an opening formed through a front face thereof, said housing defining an open interior region adapted for removably receiving a removable container;
- a door pivotally mounted to said housing, said door selectively sealing and covering the opening formed through the front face of said housing;
- an electrically powered refrigeration device received within said housing for selectively and adjustably cooling a container received adjacent to the device within the interior region;
- a plurality of wheels being pivotally mounted to a lower end of said housing;
- a retractable handle being mounted to an upper end of said housing, wherein the cooler and any received containers may be selectively and guidedly transported via the wheels after tilting the housing relative to the support surface;
- and
- a rechargeable battery adapted to power the refrigeration device.
A portable cooler for cooling large keg-sized removable containers, comprising:
- a housing having an opening formed through a front face thereof, said housing defining an open interior region adapted for removably receiving a removable container;
- a pair of doors, each pivotally mounted to said housing, said pair of doors selectively sealing and covering the opening formed through the front face of said housing;
- an electrically powered refrigeration device received within said housing for selectively and adjustably cooling a container received adjacent to the device within the interior region;
- a plurality of wheels being pivotally mounted to a lower end of said housing;
- a handle being mounted to an upper end of said housing, wherein the cooler and any received containers may be selectively and guidedly transported via the wheels after tilting the housing relative to the support surface;
- and
- a rechargeable battery adapted to power the refrigeration device.
A portable cooler for cooling large keg-sized removable containers, comprising:
- a cylindrical housing having an opening formed through a front face thereof, said housing defining an open interior region adapted for removably receiving a removable container;
- at least one door pivotally mounted to said housing, said door selectively sealing and covering the opening formed through the front face of said housing;
- an electrically powered refrigeration device received within said housing for selectively and adjustably cooling the removable container received within the interior region adjacent to the device;
- a plurality of wheels being rotatably mounted to a lower end of said housing;
- a retractable handle being mounted to an upper end of said housing, wherein the housing may be tilted with respect to the support surface and guidedly transported via the wheels, and
- a rechargeable battery adapted to power the refrigeration device, wherein said removable container is a removable beer keg.
