Herrick, Wichita, Kane, assignor to The Coleman Company, Inc., Wichita, Kans., a corporation of Kansas Filed Sept. 29, 1961, Ser. No. 141,7 68 7 Claims. (Cl. 62-462) This invention relates to a food and beverage cooler, and more specifically, to a light-weight portable unit for tnansporting and storing foods and beverages in chilled condition.
An object of the present invention is to provide a light portable cooler which has its interior surfaces formed largely from non-corrosive plastic materials. Another object is to provide a portable cooler in which a heavy block of ice may be carried for cooling purposes without danger that movement of the blockas the cooler is shifted about will damage the cooler or cause leakage of melted ice into the food storage area thereof. A further object is to provide a cooler having an ice-carrying tray equipped with a spigot for drawing off ice water from the tray, the spigot being cooperatively engageable with the cabinet to prevent damage to either the spigot or the tray, or to any other parts, as the ice slides about within the tray when the cabinet is moved about.
Another object is to provide a thin-walled light-weight plastic beverage-and food storage cabinet in which substantial quantities of ice may be carried without danger that the flexible plastic walls of the cabinet, or the parts connected thereto, will become damaged during transit. In this connection, it is a specific object to provide a cooler having a spigot-equipped ice tray for-med from a single piece of tough but flexible plastic material.
A still further object is to provide a plastic portable beverage and food cooler equipped with means for securely maintaining a door of the cooler in firm cooperative engagement with a slidable tray to prevent relative movement of the tray within the cooler as the unit is moved about.
Other objects will appear from the specification and drawings in which: 4

FIGURE 5 is a still further enlarged vertical sectional view taken along line 5-5 of FIGURE 4 and illustrating the cooperative relationship between the spigot, tray, and cabinet door;
FIGURE 6 is a top plan view of the ice tray; 1'
FIGURE 7 is a side elevational view of a portion of the, cooler illustrating the door anchoring means therefor;
FIGURE 8 is a broken perspective view illustrating the anchoring means for securing the door in closed condition.
In the cooler illustrated-in the drawings, the numeral 10 generally designates a cabinet having a chamber or compartment 11 and a front opening 12. The cabinet is provided with top, bottom, rear and side walls 1316 and a hinged door 17 is mounted at the front side of the cabinet for closing the from opening 12.
Both the door 17 and the walls of the cabinet 10 are of double thickness and contain heat-insulating material between their inner and outer shells. As indicated in FIGURE 3, the inner shell 18 of the cabinet body and the inner shell 19 of the door are formed from a suitable plastic material. Co-polymers of acrylonitrile, bu-ta diene and styrene have been found particularly effective because of their strength, toughness and light weight; however, other plastic materials such as polystyrene may also be used. Similar plastic materials may be used for the outer shell 20 of the door and for the outer shell 21 of the cabinet body although it has been found desirable to form the cabinets outer shell 21 from sheet aluminum. The insulation 22 within the door, as well as the insulation 23 between the inner and outer shells of the cabinet body may be any suitable heat-insulating material such as, for example, expanded polystyrene beads, or rigid or semirigid plastic foams.
Within the upper portion of the cabinet chamber 11 is an ice tray 24 of generally rectangular shape. The tray is formed from plastic material, such as the acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer used for the inner shells of the door and cabinet body, and has an open top for receiving a quantity of ice either in the block form 25' illustrated in FIGURE 5, or in chipped, shaved or cubed form.
Viewed from above as in FIGURE 6, the tray tapers rearwardly so that its rear wall 26 is narrower than its front wall 27. The front and rear walls, as well as side walls 23, slope outwardly and upwardly so that the area of the top opening is greater than the area of bottom wall 29. The bottom wall is preferably provided with channels 30 radiating outwardly from a point adjacent the front central portion thereof for the purposes of directing the flow of water and of rigidifying the bottom wall.
About its open top the ice tray is provided with an outwardly projecting peripheral flange 31. The portions of this flange extending along the upper edges of the side walls 2% are slidably supported by a pair of horizontally elongated slides or rails 32. While the rails are illustrated as being secured to the side walls 11 of the cabinet by rivets 33, it will be understood that any other suitable connecting means may be used. If desired, a cover 34 may be provided for the tray and may be supported upon the lateral flange 31.
The front wall of the ice tray is provided with a lower opening 35 which is disposed intermediate side walls 28 and which supports a spigot assembly 36 (FIGURE 5). The spigot assembly includes a body or barre-l 37 having a bore 38 receiving a reciprocal valve member 39 therein. The valve member is equipped at one end with a valve head 46 which has a maximum cross sectional dimension greater than the size of bore 38. A sealing ring 4 1 is carried by the head and bears tightly against the inner end of the spigot body when the valve is in closed condition.
The opposite end of the valve member is equipped with a push button 42. A compression spring 43 extends between the button and an insert member 44 which slidably receives the shaft of the valve member and which guides inward and outward axial movement of the valve member. The spring urges the button outwardly and thereby normally maintains the valve head in seated condition.
It will be observed that the button is disposed within a recess 45 provided at the outer end of the spigot body and that when the valve is closed the outer surface of the button is substantially flush with the outer face 46 of the spigot body (FIGURE 5). Body 37 is provided with a discharge passage 47 which merges with the bore 38 so that when the button is depressed liquid may flow past the unseated valve head, then into bore 33, and finally into discharge passage 47.
The spigot body extends through the opening 35 in the ice tray and is tightly clamped in place by a locking nut 48 threaded upon the portion of the spigot disposed within the tray. The clamping force is exerted upon a resilient washer or sealing ring 49 which is grooved to fit the edge portion of the tray defining opening 3 5 and which engages both the locking nut 48 on the inside of the tray and a shoulder 50' outside of the tray.
Referring to FIGURE 3, it will be observed that the horizontal distance between the rear edge of flange 3 1 of the ice tray and the front or outer face 46 of the spigot is substantially the same as the depth of chamber 11 when the door of the cabinet is closed. Therefore, e11- gagement between the tray and its spigot and the inner surfaces of the cabinet prevents sliding movement of the tray along slides 32 when the cabinet is closed.
In normal use of the cooler, a block of ice is placed within the tray to maintain foods and beverages in the lower portion of the cabinet in chilled and fresh condition. As the ice melts, spigot 36 may be used to drain off the ice water which may then either be discarded or used for drinking purposes. When the ice-containing cabinet is moved about, the block tends to slide in the plastic tray and it is the cooperative relationship between the spigot assembly, tray, and cabinet which prevents leakage of water and also prevents damage to the spigot assembly even when the spigot and its valve member are subjected to forceful engagement by the mass of ice.
Since the flat outer surface "of button 42 engages the inner shell 19 of the door when the cabinet is closed, outwardly directed force exerted by a block of ice against valve head 40 will be transmitted by the valve member to the door and will not be resisted solely by the interconnection between the spigot and the flexible plastic front wall 27 of the tray. As a result, forces exerted by the block of ice which might otherwise severely strain the mounting of the spigot to the trays front wall are effectively resisted by the thick insulated door. The action of the door in opposing outward impact forces exerted by the sliding block of ice is also important in view of the plastic construction of the spigot and the tray. Like the tray, the spigot may be formed from a styrene polymer or from any other suitable plastic material. While such materials are advantageous because of their noncorrosive properties, they are more flexible and weaker than most metals used for such purposes and, therefore, the interrelationship between the tray, spigot and cabinet is important in achieving a durable and effective cooler unit.
The door 17 may be held in closed position by any suitable latching means. The magnet and chain construction shown in FIGURES 7 and 8 has been found particularly effective because of the locking force exerted by the chain which will maintain. the door in closed condition even though the block of ice contained within the tray '24 should shift about during movement of the cabinet. In the illustration given, a magnet 51 is mounted upon the edge of the door by means of a bracket 52. A magnetically attnactable contact plate 53 is mounted along the edge of the cabinet vand is engaged by the magnet when the door is closed. The magnet is concealed from the front of the door by a cover 54 which is provided with a notched flange 55 and this notched flange is adapted to receive beaded chain 56 as indicated in FIG- URE 7. One end of the chain is securely fixed to the cabinet at substantially the same elevation as the notched flange of the cover 54. Thus, when the door is closed, a user may simply slip the chain into the notch of the flange to anchor the parts together.
While in the foregoing I have disclosed an embodiment of the invention in considerable detail for purposes of illustration, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that many of these details may be varied without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
