  • Patent number: 5313817
    Abstract: A wheelable cooler includes a cooler body and a pair of wheelgear assemblies. The cooler body is generally boxlike in form, and the wheelgear assemblies include a U-shaped handle, with extension arms extending from a crossbar. The wheelgear assemblies also include fender assemblies, each including a fender body that carries a wheel. A mounting member extends from the fender body at a selected angle, with a handle extension arm is slidably carried in each mounting member. The handle is movable between a retracted position in which the extension arms are inserted into the mounting members, and an extended position in which the extension arms are only partially inserted into the mounting members. Detent assemblies lock the extension arms in the retracted and extended positions. A support rod joins the fender assemblies, extending through each fender assembly and carrying the cooler body.
