Abstract
An improved portable cooler includes a cooler body (10) provided with wheels (36) and a pivoted towing handle (16) provided with two grips (140,142) to allow use of the cooler by persons of both tall and short stature. The cooler cover (12) is provided with a recess (44) and a closure panel (58) for storage of items within the cooler but above melting ice or relatively heavy items that might crush items contained in the cooler. A table assembly (14) is operable independently of the lid (12) allowing the table (14) to be deployed on a leg (78) with the cooler lid (12) in a closed position, as well as to allow access to the interior cavity (28) of the cooler without clearing the table (14). Retractable bungee cords (108) for securing items to the cooler are provided.
