Abstract: A travel cooler includes a wheeled platform and an insulated container. The wheeled platform includes a base and a plurality of wheels mounted to the base for rolling movement of the platform. The insulated container includes an inflatable wall and a valve for inflating of the wall. The insulated container is disposed on the base in fixed disposition relative to the base for safe transportation of the insulated container on the wheeled platform.

Abstract: A travel cooler includes a base, a plurality of wheels mounted to the base for rolling movement of the base and an insulated container having sidewalls supported by the base and defining an interior, insulated space for receiving and preserving perishable food items. The base includes a portion that extends beyond at least one of the sidewalls to define a cargo receiving area for receiving items for transport. Additionally, or alternatively, an arm member is mounted to the base and configured to move between a retracted position to define a cargo receiving area and a protracted position substantially eliminating the cargo receiving area. Alternatively, a travel cooler includes a bracket removably mounted to an insulated container. The bracket defines the cargo receiving area for receiving items for transport exterior to the insulated container.

Abstract: A travel cooler includes a base, a handle attached to the base at a first location, a plurality of wheels mounted to the base for rolling movement of the base by the handle, and an insulated container having sidewalls supported by the base and defining an interior, insulated space for receiving and preserving perishable food items. The handle is removably attached to the base such that the handle is detachable and removable from the base. The base is configured to receive and retain the handle at a second location when the handle is detached from the base at the first location. The handle generally extends upwardly from the base when attached to the base at the first location and generally extends horizontally relative to the base when attached at the second location.

Abstract: A travel cooler includes a base, an insulated container having an interior, insulated space for receiving and preserving perishable food items, and an air pump. A lid of the insulated container and, specifically, an exterior surface of the lid of the insulated container defines an air pump receiving area for receiving and retaining the air pump.

Abstract: A travel cooler includes a wheeled platform and an insulated container configured to be selectively coupled to, and uncoupled from, the wheeled platform. The wheeled platform includes a base, a plurality of wheels mounted to the base for rolling movement of the platform and a first coupling component fixedly disposed on the base. The insulated container includes a second coupling component fixedly disposed on the container. The first and second coupling components are disengaged from one another when the insulated container is uncoupled from the wheeled platform. The first and second coupling components are disposed in interlocking engagement when the insulated container is coupled to the wheeled platform, whereby the insulated container is securely coupled to the wheeled platform in fixed disposition relative thereto for safe transportation on the wheeled platform.

Abstract: A stacked arrangement of travel coolers including a plurality of travel coolers arranged in a series of stacking pairs and a method of stacking the travel coolers. Each travel cooler includes a base with a bottom surface, a pair of wheels mounted to the base, an insulated container, a front end of the base and a rear end of the base. Each stacking pair includes an upper travel cooler disposed on top of a lower travel cooler. The bottom surface of the base of the upper travel cooler rests upon the bottom surface of the base of the lower travel cooler. Alternatively, a surface of a lid of the upper travel cooler rests upon a surface of a lid of the lower travel cooler. The front end of the upper travel cooler is disposed over and generally aligned with the rear end of the lower travel cooler.
