Abstract
An inflatable cooler having a tubular housing The housing includes an outer wall, a bottom wall and an open topped cooling chamber for receiving a standard sized beverage container. The outer wall supports, internally of the housing, a plurality of inflatable air chambers. An perimetric air chamber wraps around the periphery of the bottom wall and interconnects the air chambers. The air chambers are inflated by an air valve in the outer wall. When the air chambers are inflated, the cooler becomes self-supporting and relatively rigid.
