Abstract: A portable icebox having on one of the longer sides of the icebox body, a telescopic or unfolding extendable handle made of a number of joined sections, housed inside vertical cavities in the body of the icebox. When folded, the handle is housed inside the cavities and held by a transverse fitting element on the base of the icebox, preventing it from being fully released, and with the crosspiece for use of the icebox still protruding when the handle is folded.
