  • Patent number: 4510770
    Abstract: A portable ice chest includes a food compartment and a pair of side-by-side, curved chutes for dispensing beverage containers by gravity through the first wall of the chest. A segregated ice compartment cools both the food compartment and the container chute. Access to both the ice and food compartments is gained through either a lid on the top of the chest or a door in the side of the chest. A separate door in the front of the chest allows access to a dispensing station to which the containers are delivered by the chutes. One embodiment of the chest includes a seat and backrest to allow an individual to employ the chest as a seat.
