Abstract
An expandable wrapper for an ice chest includes fastening elements at opposed ends for overlapping and securing the ends to one another. The wrapper is of expandable material and in combination with the fastening means will accommodate ice chests having a large range of girth dimensions. Preferably, the material is receptive to printing of words, logos and designs to suit a user's preferences and to personalize the wrapped ice chest. In a variant, the wrapper may be a sleeve slidable mounted on the ice chest and of expandable/elastic material to accommodate the difference in girth between the bottom and the upper end of the ice chest as well as to accommodate ice chests of different sizes.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to wrappers for objects and, more particularly, to an expandable wrapper for encircling ice chests of various sizes.
- 2. Description of Related Prior Art
- Presently commercially available ice chests are essentially rectangular in plan form and have a hingedly attached lid. These ice chests are generally of plastic material and formed in molds. To permit withdrawal of an article formed in a mold, the mold must have a draw to ensure that the bottom of the mold is lesser sized than the opening to the mold. This results in ice chests having inwardly downwardly sloping sides.
- Generally, the sides of conventional ice chests do not include graphic material which may be offensive, objectionable or contrary to the personal attitudes of a user. At most, one may find a trademark of the manufacturer formed in a side of the ice chest or on a label appended to a side of the ice chest.
- Many users of ice chests have an affiliation with or support of an organization, sports team, activity, etc. To indicate such affiliation, some users append decals of the appropriate type onto the sides of an ice chest. However, such decals are often damaged or defaced through normal use of the ice chest.
- Ice chests inherently have thermally non-conductive sides by incorporating a double wall construction with air space therebetween. The degree of thermal isolation of the contents of the ice chest from the temperature of the ambient atmosphere is a function of the thickness of the air space. Accordingly, the thermal insulating capability of ice chests may vary significantly between manufacturers or even between related products by the same manufacturer.
- An elastic or expandable wrapper, preferably of thermally non-conductive material, extends about the sides of a conventional ice chest. The opposed ends of the wrapper include fastening means for securing the ends to one another and attain a tight fit of the wrapper about the ice chest. The elastic nature of the wrapper accommodates differences in girth of the ice chest from the upper dimension to the lower dimension. The material forming the wrapper is preferably printable to permit a user to illustrate his/her affiliation and support of a particular organization, sports team, etc. To permit essentially unlimited adjustment of the wrapper, hook and loop fastening means may be disposed at the opposed ends. In a variant, the wrapper is in the nature of a sleeve of elastic or expandable material. Such elasticity permits use of the variant on different sized ice chests.
- It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a wrapper for ice chests which will accommodate differences in girth of various ice chests.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a wrapper for ice chests which will accommodate differences in girth of the ice chest from top to bottom.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide an easily mountable and dismountable wrapper for an ice chest.
- Yet another objects of the present invention is to provide hook and loop fastenings to secure a wrapper about an ice chest.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a wrapper for ice chests having overlapping ends to accommodate different sized ice chests.
- A still further object of the present invention is to provide a printable wrapper for ice chests.
- A yet further object of the present invention is to provide a wrapper for ice chests which contribute to the thermal barrier of an ice chest.
- A yet further object of the present invention is to provide a method for selectively thermally insulating an ice chest.
- A yet further object of the present invention is to provide a method for depicting a user's affiliation with an organization while enhancing the thermal properties of an ice chest.
- These and other objects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art as the description now proceeds.
- The present invention will be described with greater specificity and clarity with respect to the following drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 illustrates an ice chest with a wrapper; -
FIG. 2 illustrates a one-piece wrapper for mounting about an ice chest; -
FIG. 2A illustrates a variant configuration of the ends of the wrapper to accommodate the handles of a wrapped ice chest; -
FIG. 3 is a top view of the one-piece wrapper illustrating its expansion capability; -
FIG. 4 illustrates a variant wrapper mounted about an ice chest; and -
FIGS. 5A and 5B illustrate a one-piece wrapper having overlapping ends to accommodate ice chests of various girths. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , there is illustrated aconventional ice chest 10 having a generallyrectangular body 12 and a hingedly attachedlid 14.Handles 16 may be disposed on opposed ends of the ice chest for carrying purposes. Usually, these handles are pivotally attached to reduce the space required for storage purposes and to protect the handles against damage. - Referring jointly to
FIGS. 1 , 2 and 3, awrapper 20 is mountable uponice chest 10 by drawing the wrapper thereabout from the bottom of the ice chest to essentially the junction betweenbody 12 andlid 10. The wrapper may includeapertures handles 16 therethrough.Body 12 ofice chest 10 tapers downwardly such that the upper perimeter of the body is greater than the lower perimeter of the body. To accommodate this difference in girth,wrapper 20 is of expandable or elastic material to ensure that it will remain tightly against the sides ofbody 12 after being mounted thereon. This expandable or elastic capability is illustrated inFIG. 3 by dashedline 26 showing extension alongside 28 and end 30 ofwrapper 20. Depending upon the degree of expansion capability of the wrapper, various sizes ofice chest 10 will snugly support a wrapper constructed in accordance with the present invention. - While
apertures wrapper 20 are illustrated inFIG. 2 , it is to be understood that the corresponding edge of the wrapper may slope downwardly below the handles, as depicted inFIG. 2A . As shown inFIG. 2A ,edge 32 ofwrapper 20 may slope downwardly to define anedge 34 that would be below the corresponding handle of the ice chest. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , there is illustrated anice chest 38, which may be likeice chest 10 shown inFIG. 1 , having abody 40 and a hingedly attachedlid 42. Avariant wrapper 44 is mounted aboutbody 40. The wrapper is essentially arectangular strip 46 of expandable/elastic material. To maintain the strip aboutcooler 38, opposedends loops 52 may be attached to end 48 and asection 54 of hooks may be attached to end 50. One of the benefits of the hook and loop fastener is that infinite adjustability/positioning therebetween is possible. Thereby,variant wrapper 44 may be drawn as tightly aboutice chest 38 as a user may desire. Such adjustability also permits the use ofvariant wrapper 44 on different sized ice chests as the differences in girth can readily be accommodated by the hook and loop fastener disposed at the overlapping ends and the elasticity/expandability of the wrapper. As discussed above, the girth ofice chest 38 at the bottom is generally less than the girth of the ice chestadjacent lid 42. Such difference in girth is readily accommodated byvariant wrapper 44 due to the use of a hoop and loop fastener and the elasticity of the wrapper. - As further illustrated in
FIG. 5A , the variant wrapper may be overlapped at the end of ice chest 38 (see alsoFIG. 4 ). Alternatively, the ends of the variant wrapper may be overlapped along a side of the ice chest, as illustrated inFIG. 5B . To accommodate the handles that normally extend from opposed sides of the ice chest,slots ends FIG. 2A . - There is presently available expandable/elastic material sold under the trademark Neoprene which also has thermal insulating properties. When this material is used these properties add to the thermal insulation of the side walls of the ice chest. Thereby, the contents of the ice chest will be less affected by the ambient temperature of the air surrounding the ice chest. Furthermore, this material is receptive to and will retain printing thereon. Thereby, a user may select a
wrapper 20 or avariant wrapper 44 which depicts a sports team, such as the Atlanta Falcons depicted inFIG. 1 or the Arizona Cardinals as depicted inFIG. 4 . Other affiliations, such as colleges, universities, fraternities, sororities, and numerous other organizations may be identified onwrapper 20 and onvariant wrapper 44.
