Abstract: A new Portable Upright Cooler for keeping food and drinks cool. The inventive device includes a container member defining an enclosed volume, handles secured to the container, and adjustable support feet for supporting the cooler in an upright position. A drip tray is disposed within the volume for collecting dripping liquids. The tray is configured to prevent the liquids therein from splashing out of the tray. The walls of the cooler are adapted to guide dripping liquids into the drip pan.
