Benefits of technology

This patent describes a double lid that can be added to a cooler or other storage container. The lid has two layers that can be opened independently. There is also a magnetic attachment system for attaching cutting instruments to the lid. The lid can be closed securely using a latch and clasp, and it can be locked to the container using a catch assembly. The container can also have additional shelves added to it. Another version of the invention includes a storage container with the double lid already hingedly connected. The technical effects are improved insulation and storage space in a convenient and easy-to-use design.

Problems solved by technology

However, none of the prior art devices disclose, show, or teach a double lid retrofittable to a storage container, the double lid having a means for removably attaching a plurality of implements to one of the lids of the double lid.
