Cool bags systems

Abstract

A reusable insulated flexible cooler bag comprising: a front wall having a first inner layer, at least one first insulating layer, and a first outer layer of plastic material; a rear wall having a second inner layer, at least one second insulating layer, and a second outer layer of plastic material; and a closure element. The front wall and the rear wall are joined together at their peripheral edges so as to create a pocket-like configuration with an inner volume. The closure element is able to close the pocket-like configuration to substantially ensure an airtight and watertight seal of the inner volume of the reusable insulated flexible cooler bag and is located adjacent a top side of the reusable insulated flexible cooler bag in order to provide access to contents of the reusable insulated flexible cooler bag.

Benefits of technology

[0016]A preferred method of using a reusable insulated flexible cooler bag is further disclosed herein comprising the following steps: providing a reusable insulated flexible cooler bag comprising a front wall, a rear wall, and a closure element; opening the closure element of the reusable insulated flexible cooler bag; placing contents into the reusable insulated flexible cooler bag; closing the closure element of the reusable insulated flexible cooler bag and thereby forming an airtight, watertight and insulated inner volume for use in insulating and storing contents; placing the reusable insulated flexible cooler bag into an ice / water filled cooler box and thereby preventing the contents placed into the reusable insulated flexible cooler bag from becoming wet and contaminated by the ice situated in the cooler box.

[0017]The present invention holds significant improvements and serves as a reusable insulated flexible cooler bag. For purposes of summarizing the invention, certain aspects, advantages, and novel features of the invention have been described herein. It is to be understood that not necessarily all such advantages may be achieved in accordance with any one particular embodiment of the invention. Thus, the invention may be embodied or carried out in a manner that achieves or optimizes one advantage or group of advantages as taught herein without necessarily achieving other advantages as may be taught or suggested herein. The features of the invention which are believed to be novel are particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification. These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings and detailed description.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, cooler boxes often are quite bulky and not easy to transport or it is difficult to place them into a car, etc.

On the other hand, smaller more compact cooler boxes tend to be too small for larger food or drink items, such as large bottles or plates.

There are many items that individuals wish to keep cold, but are unable to find a suitable way to store and transport them in a convenient manner.

Therefore, another problem which is often encountered when it comes to storing items in cooler boxes is that the food and the ice are often stored in the same compartment.

The melting ice may come into contact with the food when the food is not properly sealed and may contaminate the food and / or make the food soggy.
