Cooler bag and wrap

Abstract

A cooler bag and wrap is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, the cooler bag includes a pair of side panels and at least one pocket formed within each side panel. A plurality of fluid filled beads are contained within the pocket and are visible through an outside layer of the side panels to provide a distinctive appearance to the bag. In addition, the fluid within the beads is adapted to be frozen to keep contents of the bag cool. The bag may also include at least one baffle within the at least one pocket. The baffle helps to evenly disperse the beads and to prevent all the beads from collecting at the bottom of the bag.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cooler bag, the bag comprising:
 a pair of side panels;   at least one pocket formed within each side panel; and   a plurality of fluid filled beads within the at least one pocket that are visible through an outside layer of the side panels to provide a distinctive appearance to the bag;   wherein the fluid within the beads is adapted to be chilled to keep contents of the bag cool.   
     
     
         2 . The cooler bag of  claim 1 , the bag further comprising at least one baffle within the side panels. 
     
     
         3 . The cooler bag of  claim 2 , the bag further comprising a pair of end panels, wherein each end panel is adjacent to opposing edges of each side panel. 
     
     
         4 . The cooler bag of  claim 3 , wherein the pair of end panels further comprising the plurality of fluid filled beads. 
     
     
         5 . The cooler bag of  claim 3 , the bag further comprising a bottom panel to form the bag with the pair of side panels and the pair of end panels. 
     
     
         6 . The cooler bag of  claim 5 , the bag further comprising a handle disposed proximate a top portion of the bag, the handle adapted to carry the bag and contents of the bag. 
     
     
         7 . The cooler bag of  claim 6 , wherein the side, end and bottom panels are comprised of a flexible material. 
     
     
         8 . The cooler bag of  claim 7 , wherein the beads each further comprise a flexible outer layer to contain the fluid therein. 
     
     
         9 . The cooler bag of  claim 8 , wherein the beads are spherical in shape. 
     
     
         10 . A cooler wrap, the wrap comprising:
 at least one translucent panel;   at least one pocket formed within the at least one panel; and   a plurality of fluid filled beads within the at least one pocket.   
     
     
         11 . The cooler wrap of  claim 10 , the wrap further comprising at least one baffle within the side panel. 
     
     
         12 . The cooler wrap of  claim 10 , wherein the wrap is comprised of a flexible material. 
     
     
         13 . The cooler wrap of  claim 10 , wherein the beads each further comprise a flexible outer layer to contain the fluid therein. 
     
     
         14 . The cooler wrap of  claim 10 , wherein the beads are spherical in shape. 
     
     
         15 . The cooler wrap of  claim 10 , wherein the fluid within the beads is adapted to be chilled and frozen. 
     
     
         16 . The cooler wrap of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one baffle is orientated longitudinally within the wrap. 
     
     
         17 . The cooler wrap of  claim 12 , wherein opposing free ends of the at least one panel are secured to one another to form the panel into a tubular enclosure. 
     
     
         18 . The cooler wrap of  claim 12 , the wrap further comprising fasteners at opposing free ends of the at least one panel, wherein the fasteners are adapted to removably secure the wrap around a bottle. 
     
     
         19 . The cooler wrap of  claim 17 , further comprising a bottom panel secured to edges along a lower periphery of the tubular enclosure. 
     
     
         20 . A cooler wrap, the wrap comprising:
 a translucent planar pocket;   a plurality of decorative beads disposed within the pocket;   a resealable top opening adapted to add and remove all or some portion of the plurality of beads;   wherein the plurality of beads are adapted to be chilled and visible within the pocket.
