Abstract

The invention is a snap fit modular component containment system integrated into a cooler with the inventions particular modular ice pack components inserted and removed from the coolers integrated sequestering alcoves. The securing alcoves accept the inventions modular ice packs that are then contained through snap fit retention in the rail walls of the cooler. The particular modular ice pack components are inserted into the snug rail system by hand using a leverage point to assist and maintain the ice packs secure positions. The particular modular ice pack components when inserted into the snug rail system create a distinct advantage by ordered assignment of those ice packs allowing for additional space due to proximal containment in the inventions alcoves. Insertion and extraction of the particular modular ice packs from the inventions component fence rails within the coolers cargo hold is accomplished with ease by hand. This area of work and the application of this structural modular snap fit sequestering system of particular modular component ice packs within the inventions cooler carrying system offers greater security, control, expanded interior space, effective use, and ease of use in cooler cargo holds. These aspects lead to a positive impact on the environment with amelioration of water loss and unnecessary waste and container carrier cleanup. The inventions physical benefits create approximately 60% more usable space in the cooler than traditional bagged ice. The invention averts additional loss by sequestration of ice the clustering effect of unrestricted cargo that eventually leads to loss and damage of cargo. The economic benefits include reduction of the use of new cargo components, particularly bagged ice, unnecessary plastic bag ice acquisition and the environmentally destructive single use aspects of those alternative methods and modes.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . It is to be said while certain preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed in detail, it is to be understood that various modifications may be adopted without departing from the spirit of the invention or scope of the following claims. While the foregoing details what is felt to be the preferred embodiment of the invention, no material limitations to the scope or applications of the claimed invention are intended. The invention furthered features and design alternatives that would be obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art are considered to be incorporated herein. Exemplary alternatives considered incorporated herein, though not limited thereto- specific physical geometries that are not essential to the overall operation of the embodiment. The scope of the invention is set forth and particularly described in the claims herein below. The listed are the several aspects, provisions, and advantages of the embodiment of the invention is comprised of: An invention as a secure modular snap tension modular cargo carrying and containment cooler system comprised of the dedicated distinct secure snap tension connections for encompassing and securing particular modular ice pack cargo components. The attendant interior integrated particular sequestration and removal system supporting the particular modular cargo ice pack components for containment of that particular cargo the invention further consists of the distinct parts that encompass the advantages of the system of the invention. A secure snap in tension cloistered cargo carrying and containment system with respect to other member components in the cooler carrier that maintain the integrity of cargo in that cooler carrier compartment comprises the invention. A system consisting of removable, reusable components located in dedicated integral recesses or alcoves in the interior of the cooler container interior. The invention provides a method that allows attendant modular components to be inserted, snapped in and snapped out from the integrated particular distal cargo compartments hold with ease through snap tension action by hand. The invention is an attachable/detachable snap in tension fit secure system to affix cargo components to a proximal carrier cooler container comprising the systems usability. The invention accommodates through systemic convenient operation the addition and transfer of particular modular ice packs and other cargo through the attach, detach feature of the modular secure snap in tension built into the cargo hold in the cooler. The invention also provides the benefits of enhanced environmental sustainability through loss containment and reuse of modular components in the operation of commercial, travel and leisure activities alleviating cargo loss and avoiding additional acquisition of non-reusables through the inventions reusable particular modular ice pack components in reference to an ice cooler or other container. The invention amounts to the enhanced economic benefit in alleviating use of new components and thereby the invention aids by limiting the need of disposables and the negative attendant commercial and personal fiscal economies of unnecessary acquisition, lost space, environmental waste and attendant extraneous waste especially in reference to an ice cooler container As fundamental aspects of the invention the invention constitutes enhanced cargo space, economic, physical and health and environmental benefits through elimination of inadvertent cargo loss using the structural modular components of the invention through dedicated sequestered module attachments in a secure snap fit tension sequestering technique that comprise the systemic advantage of the invention. The invention creates and allows for approximately  60 % more cargo space in the cargo hold. The invention further establishes enhanced user satisfaction through ease of use, enhanced convenience through sequestration of particular modular components attached and detached by readily hand. The invention also provides enhanced user experience through ease of use in installation, removal, and reuse of those particular modular cargo component packs. Furthermore, the invention allows through its structural containment, enhanced loss prevention of parcels and reuse of materials and components through features listed above as the inventions objective. The present invention provides a locking snap fit tension of cloistered modular components inside of a compatible cargo container carrier. The positioning and flexible insertion and removal of the modular components by hand in the cargo carrier for joining two or more distinct molded plastic component packs allows easy insertion and extraction of the particular modular component ice packs. The snap fit tension of modular components can be engaged and released in the containment system utilizing the resilient removal tab from the cloistered recess. Thus, the snap tension modular component may be inserted and released by hand with ease in the snap tension containment system carrier and does not damage or deform the inventions secure snap in tension sequestering structure. Therefore, the inventive locking snap in mechanism allows through particular geometry allows the inventions modular components to be repeatedly secured and released without reducing the retention performance of those particular modular components. The invention furthermore increases the cargo size performance of the cargo carrier system by tightly sequestering the ice pack or particular cargo module pack in those limited spaces.
 In operation, the male and female components are joined together by first aligning the components such that each side aligns with the corresponding snap in frame rail aperture contained in the cargo carrier. the male enters the female locking frame aperture. The male particular modular component projection drops in contacts and connects to the frame. As the male and female components are urged together, the female receiving cloister component securely holds the particular male modular ice pack component in place after the completion of the urged effort. The male modular component continues into the carrier, the resilient rail of the female receptacle captures the male component, allowing the systems modular male components to remain sequestered until intentionally released through the retracting action of a male modular component resilient removal tab and the female modular cloistering segment components. When the male has passed the resilient frame, the receiving female alcove component returns to its original shape. The engagement between the male modular component and the female frame secures the male modular component from any movement. The resilient rail frames provide a constant force, through that geometry sequestering the male module component in the female frame, thereby maintaining a secure locking engagement between the male particular ice pack component module and the female projection frame, preventing accidental disengagement. The manual pulling action causes the male module pack to disengage the female frame, allowing the male modular component to be removed from the aperture, thereby releasing that male module in preparation for additional actions in the inventions versatility. The invention incorporates a return edge that accepts the initial insertion of the particular modular ice packs. The repeated engagement and release of the snap in tension modular components does not diminish its ability to securely join the two components in the future. To release the male modular component is manually pulled by use of the resilient removal tab away from the inventions female component rail frame housing.
