ABSTRACT:
An adjustable, refreezable heat removing cooler for refrigerating and insulating a variety of products such as variously sized beverage containers, frozen dinners, reusable plastic food left-over containers, or other objects. The cooler provides a cover having an inner and an outer layer of urethane coated nylon fabric that is sewn to form an envelope-like jacket. An array of refrigerant pouches in an elongate refrigerant bag carry a freezable refrigerant, such as Blue Ice, or a similar reusable refrigerant. An insulation layer of Thinsulate or similar insulation slows heat energy transfer through the outer lay of urethane fabric. Lack of insulation between the inner layer of fabric enhances heat energy flow from the item being cooled into the refrigerant. An elongate strip having hook fasteners on one side and loop fasteners on the other side allows the user to attach the cooler to a variety of objects having different circumferences. A velcro strap perpendicular to the elongate cover allows the user to adjust the cooler and in particular supports the bottom of a soft drink container. Two or more such coolers may be linked together to encircle larger objects.
