Abstract: A system for holding multiple beverage containers may include a cooler or carrier with toting handles, closing tabs, and base. The base may be formed from a molded plastic, rubber or synthetic rubber material. The base may also include feet that hold the base a sufficient height from the ground. The base may have a generally conic tapering drain floor that makes up its top surface. The tapering drain floor may make draining the carrier easier by directing water toward a drain hole located in the base. Extending up from the base may be a multi-layer soft-sided wall where different layers perform different desired functions. For example, an inside layer closest to the internal cavity may be a waterproof layer, a middle layer may be an insulating layer, and an external layer may be a decorative layer.

Abstract: A collapsible insulated container has a base wall and a peripheral wall with an open end defining an enclosure. The peripheral wall has at least two layers and is divided into elongate pockets between the layers, with foldable crease lines between adjacent pockets. Each pocket contains a flexible-walled, insulating gel pack which substantially fills the pocket. The crease lines may be defined by stitching securing the outer and inner layers of the container together. The gel packs may be surrounded by matting, foam or mesh material which is sewn into the lines of stitching, or may have integral peripheral rims sewn into the lines of stitching. The container is foldable between an erect, open condition and a storage condition in which it is folded along the crease lines into a substantially flattened package.

Abstract: A drink-item holding apparatus incorporates an upper flap and a lower flap which may be unfolded from a stowed configuration to a deployed configuration in which the upper flap is releasably latched in its horizontal position. Projections at the rear edge of the upper flap resiliently push in L-shaped arms against the biasing action of springs until the projections snap past the arms which then serve to latch the upper flap in its deployed configuration. The upper flap may be rotated in the reverse direction in order to unlatch the projections so as to return to the stowed configuration. The upper flap is therefore protected against inadvertent downward rotation. The lower flap folds away upwards, and the upper flap folds away downwards against the lower surface of the lower flap in order to produce a compact arrangement of the apparatus.
