Abstract

The invention is a portable refrigerator (10) that may transition between a functional mode for use in the cold storage of food and drinks and a collapsed mode for transportation. Wheels (207) with a handle (52) opposite provide the method of transportation. The food storage space is controllably cooled by a chiller circuit (60), which may be powered by one or more solar panels (10). The device includes USB and A/C outlets (202,206) so that the device can be also be used as a power source. It may also include a lockable latch (203) to keep the refrigerator space closed. It may also include a u-shaped bar (200) on the outside so that the device can be secured to a fixed object.
