Abstract: A wheeled cooler (10) is provided having an open top housing (22) with a removable cover member (24) forming a closed internal chamber (16) for the storage of articles. At least two wheel members (12) are rotatably secured to opposingly displaced sidewalls (32, 32') of the open top housing (22). The wheel members (12) have a mechanism for removably capturing each of the wheel members (12) individually within a respective transversely displaced sidewall (32, 32'). The wheel capturing mechanism (40) includes a wheel base member (42) which may be inserted in a tongue in groove connection to the sidewalls (32, 32'). In this manner there is provided a wheeled cooler (10) which may easily have the wheel members (12) removable from the housing (22) or inserted within the housing (22) for rotatable transport across a base surface (14).
