Abstract: A thermally insulated foam chest holds hot and cold articles in separate insulated environments. The chest comprises a body separated into two compartments by a partition wall, one compartment being adapted to contain the major portion of a beverage bottle in an upright position. The chest also includes a chest having a pair of recesses adapted to mate selectively with the aforesaid compartment for containing a top portion of the bottle. Dividing wall means between the recesses engages the partition wall irrespective of which recess is mated with the compartment. Portions of a flexible carrying strap, which is secured to abutments on opposite sides of the body, locate within channels on opposite sides of the lid to prevent the lid from falling from the body should the chest be bumped or knocked during transport by means of the carrying strap.
