  • Patent number: 4989767
    Abstract: A cooler for releasably mounting on the front end of a motorized cart, such as golf carts. In one preferred mode, the cooler is mounted on the inside front portion of the cart and comprises a multi-sided enclosure having coplanar side walls with a shape resulting in the rear wall and bottom wall that are substantially coplanar with the cowling and floorboard respectively. A hooked plate member provides one method of securing the cooler to the cart; a toe plate at the bottom also secures it. In an alternate mode, the cooler attaches to the outside front portion of the cowling and has a bottom wall that is coplanar with the cowling while the top wall is horizontal; the cooler is attached with a planar hooked member. Both modes of the invention can utilize rubberlike or other preshaped members to place between the cooler and the cart to allow for additional universal adaptation of the coolers to various carts.
