ABSTRACT:
A portable and collapsible container having a floor portion and four side walls, with the four sidewalls collapsible into a horizontal configuration aligned with the floor portion, and a cover which would fit there onto for the storage configuration. In addition, each of the sidewalls would include an insulated liner with the liner permanently attached to the endwalls and the floor portion, but snapped in place on the two opposing side walls. Therefore, when the container is at its point of destination, the endwalls and sidewalls would be placed in the upright position, and the liner would be resnapped onto the side walls, to configure a container having a fluid permeable liner, and insulated walls so that items could be placed into the container with ice for refrigeration. Furthermore, the top portion would be insulated so that when it is placed on top of the four upright walls, it defines a closed ice chest container. There would be further included snap members adjacent the bottom of the wall portions for engaging the floor portion when the wall members are put in the upright position to assist in maintaining the wall portions in the upright position. Further, there would be included snap members on the four corners of the container for engaging the sidewalls to the endwalls when the container is placed in the ice chest configuration.
