Abstract

An insulated container is provided with a handle assembly which includes a pivoting handle and a reinforcing back-up plate. The container includes an outer casing, an inner liner, and foam insulation between the casing and the liner. The handle is pivotally mounted in a recess in the casing by a pair of support brackets which are positioned in the space between the casing and the liner before the space is filled with foam insulation. Each bracket includes a pin which extends through the wall of the casing into the handle and a reinforcing plate which extends along the inner surface of the casing behind the handle.
