Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cooler carried by an angler and having a backrest.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are few people who hold a fishing rod and perform fishing while sitting on a portable or portable cooler for anglers, and carry a small folding chair on site.

Carrying a folding chair to the fishing site was troublesome and painful.

Therefore, it is preferable to sit on the portable cooler box and hold the rod as described above, but when sitting on the flat upper surface of the cooler box for a long time, the spine becomes tired and uncomfortable.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is particularly suitable for sea fishing on a breakwater or the like, where the user sits on a portable cooler, which is a necessity, and holds the fishing rod without standing for a long time and holding the fishing rod, and the backrest supports the spine. By doing so, you can comfortably fish for a long time with less upper body fatigue,
Even if you stand and move away from the cooler, there is no risk of the cooler moving, falling, or falling into the sea due to strong winds or gusts that hit the backrest, and the backrest is easily stored and supported in the cooler, making it convenient to carry. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a portable cooler that can accommodate fish while sitting on the cooler and supporting the upper body of the backrest.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is to install support legs or tubes for inserting both legs of the backrest frame on both sides of the rear part of the box by tilting them upward or and rearward and upward. The legs can be inserted to form a backrest, the support tubes or holes are installed sideways along the upper edges of both sides of the box, and a common insertion space for the legs is formed at the intersection of the support tubes or holes. , Both ends of an expandable and contractible flexible backrest member having a plurality of wind vents slidably supported by the both legs, and the backrest members laterally extending with the backrest members contracted by the upper end connecting rods of the both legs. or holes Ri greens formed so as to insert housed in said legs open habit or closed against the habit cooler for mobile that <br/> was to insert support leg to the supporting tube or hole An opening / closing lid is provided on at least the front upper surface of the box, Constituted by the opening and closing lid and upward or and the first shot bright described portable coolers having a seating surface between the upper end of the inclined support tube or hole.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A portable cooler comprising a rectangular double-walled box 1 made of FRP (made of glass fiber reinforced compound resin), in which upward pipes 3 are provided on both front sides by a length L from a rear end face 1 ". It is integrally fixed to the outer side and incorporated, or the inner and outer walls 1a and 1b are provided between the inner and outer walls 1a and 1b (FIG. 5) on both sides.
The support tubes 3 and 3 or the support holes 4 and 4 into which the both legs 2 ′ and 2 ′ of the FRP gate-shaped backrest frame 2 are inserted can be incorporated by incorporating the upward holes 4 and 4 integrally with the above.

Inclined pipes 3 ', 3'inclined upward in proximity to the upper end openings of the upward pipes 3, 3 are integrally fixed to the outer surface and incorporated, or inner and outer walls 1a, 1b on both sides. Support tubes 3 ', 3'to insert both legs 2', 2'of a rear tilted portal-shaped backrest frame 2 by incorporating rear upward tilt holes 4 ', 4'integral with the inner and outer walls 1a, 1b therebetween. The support holes 4 ', 4'can be used.

Both legs 2 ', 2'of the gate-shaped backrest frame 2 are inserted into the support tubes 3, 3'or the support holes 4, 4' so that the backrest 2a is located at a length L from the rear surface of the box 1. It can be detachably attached vertically (in solid line positions in FIGS. 1 and 2) or tilted rearward (in phantom line positions in FIGS. 1 and 2).

Both legs 2 ', 2'on the upper surface of the box 1
A plurality of flexible backrest members 7, 7 which are vertically expandable and contractable with a plurality of air vents 6, 6 interposed therebetween are laterally stretched, and both end rings 7 ', 7 of the backrest members 7, 7 are stretched. The'can be slidably inserted into both legs 2'and 2'to be expanded and contracted in the vertical direction. The vertical width of the drafts 6, 6 is the hanging string 10, 1.
0 is held on the backrest members 7, 7 by crossing, binding or stitching, and the lower ends of the cords 10, 10 are hung so that both legs 2 ',
A backrest 2a is formed between the 2'and the backrest member 7 is contracted by connecting the hanging straps 10 and 10 to the connecting rod 2 "as shown in FIG. 3, 6 or 7.

The backrest member 7 is made of a net material, a comb-shaped material or the like, and the comb-shaped material may be connected by a horizontal cord to form a draft.

The gate-shaped backrest frame 2 in which the backrest members 7, 7 are contracted and bound to the connecting rod 2 "is pulled out upward from the upward tube 3 or the hole 4 and separated from the box 1 as shown in FIGS. As described above, the two legs 2 ', 2'have a shape memorized in advance such that the tips are slightly opened due to the opening habit (FIG. 6) or slightly closed due to the closing habit (FIG. 7).

As shown in FIG. 3, the gate-shaped backrest frame 2 has both legs 2 ', 2'parallel to each other against the opening habit or the closing habit and horizontally (horizontal) along the upper edges of both sides of the box 1. The support tubes 3 "and 3" fixedly mounted on the side wall or the horizontal or horizontal support holes 4 "and 4" formed between the double walls 1a and 1b as shown in Figs. Upon insertion, the retractable backrest 7 contacts the front end surface 1 "of the box 1, the state of which is supported in the tubes 3", 3 "or the holes 4", 4 "by the elasticity of the opening or closing habit.

In FIGS. 1 and 3, a common insertion space s for the leg 2'is formed on both sides at the intersection 5 of the support tubes 3, 3 ', 3 ", and in FIGS. 2 and 4, the double wall 1a is formed. 1b between the holes 4,
A common insertion space s for the leg 2'is formed at the intersection 5 of 4 ', 4 ". In FIGS. 2 and 4, the entrances 4a, 4a of the lateral holes 4", 4 "are the front end face 1" of the box 1. To open.

Upright or inclined legs 2'on the box 1,
The seat surface 9 between 2'and the opening / closing lid 8 on the front upper surface can be used as a second opening / closing lid without being fixed to the upper edges 1 ', 1'of both side surfaces.

The reference numeral 11 in the drawing indicates the hinge of the opening / closing lid 8,
Reference numeral 12 is a shoulder belt, and 13 is a mounting member for the shoulder belt 12. The upward and oblique support tubes 3, 3'or the holes 4,
A small drainage hole is formed on the bottom of 4'to allow rainwater to flow out.
Reference numeral 14 in FIG. 5 is a heat insulating material.

[0017]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, there is an effect that the backrest can be easily incorporated in the box of a lightweight and strong portable cooler on the site, and it is easy to manufacture and inexpensive.

Sitting on the cooler, the backrest has an upper body to reduce fatigue of the thighs, knees, and legs, and not only to enjoy fishing comfortably but also to carry the backrest on the lateral pipes or holes on both sides of the cooler box. There is no risk that the backrest frame will fall apart due to the elasticity of both legs just by inserting, and there is an advantage that the backrest frame can be supported on the box simply and safely by inserting both legs.

Not only is it convenient to store the caught fish by opening the front cover of the seat while sitting on the seat, but it is also convenient for the backrest even when the fisherman is away from the cooler box in the event of strong winds or gusts. There is a benefit that the backrest serves as a sail because of the pullout, and it is possible to prevent accidents such as the movement of the cooler box, falling, or falling into the sea.

If the above-mentioned cooler is carried, it is not necessary to bring a folding chair, and only by incorporating a lightweight backrest, it is possible to reduce the number of portable items and carry it in a lightweight manner.
