ABSTRACT:
An improved portable cooler and auxiliary table is the subject of the present invention. The cooler includes an insulated container having an openable top to provide access to the cooler chamber. In one embodiment, an auxiliary top panel is provided with U-shaped brackets at opposite ends which are selectively securable in receivers at the opposite ends of the container to secure the top in a position immediately overlying the cooler cover for storage. To place the auxiliary table in an elevated position of use, the table is removed from the receivers and legs are foldable from a stored position to a position of use and engageable in the receivers to position the table at an elevation above and parallel to the cooler top to allow access to the cooler chamber. The table may also be removed for use independent of the cooler. In other embodiments, the legs are extendible from apertures in the cooler side or end walls to allow the table unit to be elevated to the desired position and then secured in place. In another embodiment, the support legs are pivotally secured to the end of the cooler between the storage position and a position of use. In the latter embodiment, the auxiliary table is selectively securable to the cooler top in the stored position so that access is provided to the cooler chamber in the storage position. Additional storage for food utensils and other items may be provided in drawers or recesses provided in the auxiliary table.
