Stowable cooler

Abstract

Stowable Cooler with insulated walls, resealable mechanical devices, a stowing medium, and an access lid. A preferred embodiment includes the insulated walls having a soft or semi-rigid construction. The lower edges of the insulated walls are permanently secured to the stowing medium forming a flexible bond. The side edges of the insulated walls each feature at least one half of at least one resealable mechanical device. The lower edges of each resealable mechanical device are secured to the stowing medium. The stowable cooler has a stowing mode and a usage mode. The stowing mode is true when the sealable mechanical devices are unsealed, and the usage mode is true when the sealable mechanical devices are sealed. The stowing medium is of sufficient volume to house the insulated walls while in stowing mode in a plurality of overlapping flats.

1 . Stowable Cooler comprising: 
 Insulated walls;    Resealable mechanical means;    A stowing medium; and    An access lid.    
   
   
       2 . Stowable Cooler as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said insulated walls have a soft or semi-rigid construction.  
   
   
       3 . Stowable Cooler as claimed in  claim 2  further comprising at least one layer of insulating material sandwiched between at least one layer of exterior exposed surface material and at least one layer of interior exposed surface material.  
   
   
       4 . Stowable Cooler as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said insulated walls each have a lower edge and where each lower edge is seated and permanently secured to said stowing medium; and where said each lower edge forms a flexible bond with said stowing medium.  
   
   
       5 . Stowable Cooler as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said insulated walls each have an upper edge, and where said insulated walls each have two side edges; and where each side edge features one half of at least one of said resealable mechanical means.  
   
   
       6 . Stowable Cooler as claimed in  claim 5  wherein said resealable mechanical means each consists of a pair of two halves; and where said pair of two halves form a common lower edge; and where said common lower edge is permanently secured to said stowing medium; and where said common lower edge forms a flexible bond with said stowing medium.  
   
   
       7 . Stowable Cooler as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said access lid comprises at least one layer of insulating material sandwiched between at least one layer of exterior exposed surface material and at least one layer of interior exposed surface material.  
   
   
       8 . Stowable Cooler as claimed in  claim 7  wherein said access lid interior exposed surface material form a non-permanent seal with said upper edges as claimed in  claim 5 .  
   
   
       9 . Stowable Cooler comprising: 
 Insulated walls;    Resealable mechanical means;    A stowing medium; and    an access lid; and where said stowing medium is of sufficient volumetric capacity to house said insulated walls when said stowable cooler is in stowing mode; and where said stowing medium forms a structural base for said stowable cooler when said stowable cooler is in usage mode.    
   
   
       10 . Stowable Cooler as claimed in  claim 9  wherein said stowing mode is true when said resealable mechanical means are unsealed; and where said usage mode is true when said resealable mechanical means are sealed.  
   
   
       11 . Stowable Cooler as claimed in  claim 9  wherein said insulated walls form a plurality of overlapping flats within said stowing medium when said stowable cooler is in stowing mode.
