A cooler transporting device for transporting a cooler over a solid surface, said cooler transporting device comprising:
- said cooler including a cooler body and a cooler lid, said cooler body including a front wall, a rear wall, a first side wall, a second side wall, and a bottom wall, said bottom wall including one or more nonslip feet attached thereto;
- a solid u-shaped shoe member attached to said cooler, said shoe member including a base surface extending along the bottom wall of said cooler, a first end surface, and a second end surface, wherein said shoe member is made from a thin material having a thickness of less than the distance from the bottom wall of the cooler to the bottom of said nonslip feet, such that said nonslip feet of said cooler protrude past the bottommost portion of said base surface to allow said one or more feet to engage said solid surface;
- a wheel attachment member attached to said first end surface of said shoe member;
- one or more wheels attached to said wheel attachment member;
- a first locking member attached to said first end surface of said shoe member that couples said first end surface of said shoe member to said cooler;
- and
- a second locking member attached to said second end surface of said shoe member that couples said second end surface of said shoe member to said cooler;
- wherein when said one or more wheels engage said solid surface and when said one or more feet engage said solid surface, said feet act as a brake holding said cooler in a stationary position.
A cooler transporting device, comprising:
- a cooler including a cooler body and a cooler lid, said cooler body including a front wall, a rear wall, a first side wall, a second side wall, and a bottom wall;
- a u-shaped shoe member attached to said cooler, said shoe member including a base surface, a first end surface, and a second end surface;
- a wheel attachment member attached to said first end surface of said shoe member;
- one or more wheels attached to said wheel attachment member;
- a first locking member attached to said first end surface of said shoe member that couples said first end surface of said shoe member to said cooler;
- a second locking member attached to said second end surface of said shoe member that couples said second end surface of said shoe member to said cooler;
- a first attachment arm including a shoulder positioned at the top portion of said first attachment arm and a hook formed at the bottom portion of said first attachment arm, said first attachment arm being coupled to said cooler and to said first locking member;
- and
- a second attachment arm including a shoulder positioned at the top portion of said second attachment arm and a hook formed at the bottom portion of said second attachment arm, said second attachment arm being coupled to said cooler and to said second locking member.
A cooler transporting device, comprising:
- a cooler including a cooler body and a cooler lid, said cooler body including a front wall, a rear wall, a first side wall, a second side wall, and a bottom wall, said cooler further comprising a drain plug;
- a u-shaped shoe member attached to said cooler, said shoe member including a base surface, a first end surface, and a second end surface;
- a wheel attachment member attached to said first end surface of said shoe member;
- one or more wheels attached to said wheel attachment member;
- a first locking member attached to said first end surface of said shoe member that couples said first end surface of said shoe member to said cooler;
- and
- a second locking member attached to said second end surface of said shoe member that couples said second end surface of said shoe member to said cooler;
- wherein said second end surface of said shoe member further comprises a drain plug hole which allows a user to access said drain plug when said shoe member is attached to said cooler.
